with smoke and ashes and heavy
with the odor of sulphur fumes.
AT that moment" Ryan went on,
word came back from the pilot
that he would have to fly under
the heavy cloud of sulphurous fumes
which required that we stay at a
level of 500 feet from the top of the
volcano. We were approaching the
edge of the crater when suddenly
our left wing received a violent
thermal blast which sent the plane
upward and on its side. Our left
wing had caught the full force of
the powerful heat blast from the
crater. Fortunately we were all
securely fastened to our seats!"
Shortly afterward, the plane re-
gained its equilibrium and began
to circle 'Paracutin" at a safer dis
tance. 1t was then that the passen-
gers had chance to see the sur
rounding territory and the havoc
that had been wrought on the
ground below.
''All below us was lava and black
ashes" Ryan said I'VE c4rcled low
over the nearby town of Parangar-
Iicutiro (Paracutin for short-the
volcano gets it's name from the
town. The town itself has disap-
peared, only the high steeple of
church projects above the black
ashes. Throughout this area of
5-mile radius the land is desolate-
nothing left but thick black lava
looking like great rolling lake of
tar. Only in the volcanic island of
Hawaii have I seen such stark
desolation, but the volcanoes there
are extinct 'Paracutin' is alive"
The plane flew on, climbing to
higher altitude and regaining its
course back to Mexico City. Now
safely back in Washington, Ryan
says he is still shaking from the
experience of that blast from the
crater" The pilot. by the way,

Ryan. Il don't believe any one can

Ab0ut Wnshingt0u
By Hope Ridings Miller

How it feels to fly over live VOL
cano and have 1t spit" at you can
be told by Oswald Ryan, of the
Civil Aeronautics Board, who had
that experience not long ago. In
Mexico City to negotiate an air
agreement, he and members of his
party were treated to a 2,600-mile
trip to the Pacific coast in a spe-
cial plane placed at their disposal
by the Mexican National Airline
LAMSA. After night spent at the
picturesque city of Mazatlan on the
west coast of Mexico, they boarded
the plane and headed for Para
cutin," the volcano which for four
years has been sending forth a con-
slant stream of smoke, lava and
ashes interspersed at times with
huge boulders as large as a DC-3
Douglas airplane.
In Ryan's own words: CAS- we
reached the area of Mexico's ex-
tinct volcanoes about two hours
later and were nearing the active
volcano, / suddenly remembered a
conversation the day before with
Gen. Alberto Salinas Carranza in
which he told me that he had re-
Gently flown his plane close to the
crater, feeling sure that he was
maintaining safe distance. Then,
suddenly, boulder as large as his
plane passed over the propeller. CIV
ing him the fright of his life. With
the generals experience vivid in
mind, I secretly hoped that our
pilot would keep a respectful dis
tance from 'Paracutin.
He didn't, however. Before Ryan
and the others realized what was
happening, the plane was making a
steep left bank and began rock
ing from side to side as it wound
its way among mountains in some
what turbulent fashion. The "fasten
seat belts" light showed above the
door of the cockpit as the plane
made another sharp bank, but one
passenger, Jim Reilly, didn't see it
in time and was catapulted out of
his seat. The plane continued its
flight between mountains-not over
them-and presently "Paracutin'
appeared in the distance, vast vol
ume of smoke and ashes curling out
of its crater. Ryan noted that the
smoke, spiraling upward, was being
blown to the left by a brisk wind
and that the air was becoming thick

To Be Minister
From R0mania
Family Coming
With Him Soon
BY Katharine M. Brooks


The Swedish government shortly
will turn over the buildings and af-
fairs of Romania to the newly ap-
pointed Minister, DR.. Mihail E.

government for offices taking care
of the affairs of the several ma

hands during the war.
DR.. Ralea is relinguiShing his
post as Minister of Arts in the pres
ent cabinet and with Nine. Ralea

of his country has barely reached his
fiftieth birthday and not only is
gifted and cultivated in the arts
but has written number of books
on sociology and psychology. He
received his doctors degree in these
subjects from the Sorbonne and was
graduated from the University of
Bucharest before entering the Uni

Minister of Cults, portfolio which
has to do with religion. He has
served his government in many
different positions through various
changes in the past few years, look
ing always to the advancement of
Romania and its people.
Unfortunately neither DR.. Ralea
or his wife speak English, but both
speak French and in addition DR..

German. So it will be easy for
them to acquire a fuency in our
tongue. Nine. Ralea is a native
OF Iassy, Romania, and her brother
Mr.. Ion Suchianu, is a member of
one of the important Leftist COM
mittees in Romania.
Coming with the new envoy will

names have not been announced

the Romanian papers have spoken
of Panfil RipoSanu, son-in-law OF
the Prime Minister, who is said to
be chosen for counselor of the Le-
cation. If he comes he will bring
with him his bride of about a year
The Legation has been one of the
popular spots in this Capital for
many years and Dr. and Nine. Ralea
are expected to carry on those ira
ditionS. Both having much old
world cultivation, they will be very
welcome additions to the diplomatic
circle here. Several of the dashing
ENJOYS from Romania still live in
this country In fact, Mr.. Frederick
Nano at this time is in Washington,
staying with his brother -in-law and
sister, the Spanish Ambassador and
Sonora de Cardenas. Mrs. Nano has
found a cooler cline for the summer
months but they spent last winter
