Officials of the local said the pro-
test was not primarily over pay,
although the original demand was

GIBRALTAR. Aug. 26. Three
British ships, carrying 4,400 Jews to
Germany after they refused for
weeks to disembark in France,
docked at Gibraltar today under the
muzzles of machineguns to take on
coal and provisions.
The Jews, baked in their efforts
to enter Palestine without immigra-
ton certificates and returned to
France, were expected to remain
here about two days before resum-
ing the trip to Hamburg.
The whole vicinity around the
North Mole where the transports
berthed was covered with barbed
wire. Naval and police launches
patrolled the waters. The ships
made port under escort of a cruiser
and two destroyers. A detachment
of Cameronian regiment served
as area guards. Two machinegun
posts were set up.
(T'he Danish government con-
sidered an urgent request of Mar
-cus Melchior, chief rabbi of Den
mark, to receive the Jews on DAN

them back to France, from which
they had embarked, but they re-
fused to disembark at Port de Bouc

gave them final chance to disem-
bark or be taken to Germany.
When they refused again, the

The blood-red Douglas jet pro-

keep it in the air, set the new mark
with a tall Marine pilot, Maj
Marion E. Carl, 81, at the controls

In so doing the Skystreak broke

On each run the major dived out

streaked past the press observation

ground. You could see him coming
but if you weren't quick in jerking
your head around he'd be out OF
sight before you realized he had
passed.
An uncanny part of the whole
thing was that this craft would
flash past without apparent audible
sound. The noise was trailing 1t by
several hundred yards and the ship
would be almost out of sight before
you heard the believing, roaring
crescendo of its mighty General

which he said he had put his last
dollar.
Tony lie vier of La Canada, Calf,
chief engineering test pilot for

ond in the Thompson last year, was
the first to qualify, with a slick
performance late yesterday.
He gunned his red P-38 Lightning
around the course twice at an aver
age speed of 366 miles an hour.
This was about four miles an hour
slower than his qualifying speed a
year ago. but the course has been
cut to is miles from last years 80
miles and provided no long straight
aways to build up speed.
