THE late Mr.. Barnum - always
eager TO add 10 his famous
freaks would have parted with
most of his bankrou 10 corral a
man with three ears.
The police Of Rome found such
man recently. His name is VincenZo
Perrone. But he would have rated
no place among Barnum's wonders.
This mans head bore only the nor
nal quota of ears. The third ear
was found in, his apartment - picked
in alcohol
a frightened woman brought the
information to the police She had
been befriended by the owner Of the
ear, who permitted her to live in his
flat while he was absent from Rome.
For that She was grateful TO Signor
Perrone-but after discovering the
grisly relic in a jar in his cupboard,
she ran in terror 10 the cops.
Perrone, a staggering eX-colonel
Of the Fascist Militia, tried to scott

THAT is merely the ear Of one Of
Halle Selassie's warriors, he said.
Il Topped il off in battle back in 1885
during our glorious conquest of
Abyssinia. The fuzzy came AZ me
with a spear, but my sword stopped
him and / preserved the ear as a
souvenir. There are many such relics
in Italy"
The saturnine examining officer
was not impressed.
"Signor Perrone," he said, i ht a
a report from our doctors about T.
ear. We know il was not the ear
of an Abyssinian, but Of white man.
And il was severed later than 1885.

Thus one more investigation has

record of the dark deeds committed

Chinese Troops Landing In Manchuria

CHUNGKING, Nov. 2-R- Chinese government troops are pouring from U. s. transports and began reoccupation. The landings at the two ports in Manchuria were on the same day the Rus sians were scheduled to begin withdrawing from the country.
 The army paper Sac Tang Pao reported Japan had wrested Man churia from China in nineteen thirty-one by landing at points on opposite sides of Liaotung bay.
 On one side Chiang Kai-Shek's S men went ashore at Hulutao, sev- enty miles northeast of the scene of clashes between his soldiers and Chinese Communists in the area of Chunwangtao. On the east side the troops landed at Yinkow, a hundred miles southwest of Mukden, one hundred forty miles north of Port Arthur.
 Both YinkoW and Hulutao have rail connections with Mukden. Meanwhile, as scattered fighting occurred in eleven northern prov inces in China, a central govern ment spokesman charged anew that Chinese Communists threat ened to fire on any government soldiers landed by U. s. ships in Communist Liberated areas"

Fairbanks Endorsed For Direct Air Route From Alaska To East Coast

WASHINGTON, Nov. Q (P- The Interior Department and the Port of New York Authority have endorsed Fairbanks, Alaska, as a direct air route from Alaska to the industrial east. The establishment of such a route with Chicago and New York as co-terminals in the United States has been recom- mended by CAB. Arguments against this recommendation and applications by others for Alaska Pacific airlines are being heard by the board.
 Norman C. Stines, mining en- gineer, representing Fairbanks, asserted the route from Chicago and New York to Alaska, via Seattle would be very circuitous. Seattle is no longer the sole gate way to Alaska" he insisted, and
The Nome nugget., 1945-11-02

added that flying conditions across Canada would be immeas- urably better than from Seattle up the west coast.
 The recommendation of CAB examiners for certification of Alaska Airlines operate a route between Seattle and Anchorage, Alaska, has been protested by John s. Wynne, representing a group of small Alaskan airlines. Wynne asserted that Alaska Air lines routes now parallel about ninety percent of those of all other carriers in the Territory, and that the added advantage of link with United States mail contracts place it in too strong a competitive position, "the board should take second hard look at this thing"

4 B-29s Make First Nonstop Flight,
 Japan-W ashington

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (P) - Four B-29s, carrying forty-three tired by happy men home from war, completed the first nonstop flight from Japan to Washington in tWenty-seven hours, twenty nine minutes.
 Brig. Gen. Frank A. Armstrong, Jr., deputy commander of the Twentieth Air Force, led the flight to the home landing at Washing ton National airport at 1:38 p.m., Nome time, Thursday. The dis tance is figured at six thousand five hundred forty-four miles.
 It was the Army'S second at tempt to make the trip nonstop The first attempt on September eighteenth and nineteenth fell short of it's goal because of con- stant adverse winds. The three plane flight sat down at Chicago to refuel.
 Both flights followed roughly the same route of the great circle across the Pacific by way of Agat tu, Kodiak, the Aleutians, Sitka, Alaska, Fort St. John, Winnipeg, and thence eastward across the United States.
 General Armstrong, smil n g through grime and two days growth of beard, said the weather was terrible. On this flight also, that did not know until they had reached Kodiak, Alaska, whether they would make it. But as it turned out his plane landed with eight hundred gallons of fuel, enough for about three hours fly ing.
 Gen. Armstrong said the plane took off from a field near Sap poro, capital of Hokkaido, north ernmost of the major Japanese islands, during rain. They had a helping tail wind of about forty five miles an hour part of the way and made the best average ground speed of two hundred ninety miles per hour between Fort St. John and Winnipeg.
 It. Gen. Ira Baker, deputy com mander of American Air Forces, who was on hand to greet the air men, said the flight was "primar- fly for the purpose of pioneering the new great circle route."

Sergeant Friddell, an artillery fire

With one clip he knocked out the

the borrowed rifle and went back to
