Barkley Has Close Call In Near Air Crash

WASHINGTON, (P)-Vice Pres ident Barkley's close call in what a bomber's crew said was a near collision with a commercial blimp near Washington appeared certain today to speed up studies on sep arating traffic around airports.
 The popular weep" who is to be married next Friday, was un- aware fthe incident at the time. Crew members said the air force B-17 in which he was a passenger roared within 50 feet of the blimp with no forewarning it was there. Barkley told newsmen at Hartford, Conn.,, last night he didn't know a thing about it.
 It happened last Thursday night but did not become known-ex- cept by those immediately con- cerned-until last night.
 This was the second incident of its general nature reported in the area of the Washington national airport since Nov. 1. That was the day on which a Bolivian fighter plane collided with a big com mercial airliner, killing 55 per sons.

MysteryBoat Turns Up Near COrdOva

CORDOVA, (P) - A mystery boat" ashore on Kayak Island was identified Saturday as an Alaska fishing boat.
 Its salvage for former Mayor Ira Rothwell of Cordova ended speculation over the possibility of its having been a drifting derelict from across the Pacific.
 Part of the mystery continued, however. There was no answer to the question of how the ship happened to go aground and why it was abandoned. It was a 40-foot steel craft, while most Alaskan coastal fishing boats are wooden. It was identified as the Olga N. of Seldovia.
 There were no papers aboard it except for a calendar with the days checked off to May 5, 1949. A check with the coast guard fail ed to disclose the listing of any boat of that name. One of similar size and description, however, was reported lost last May. It was list ed under the name White Swan.
 The salvaged vessel is undam- aged, has a new engine and its batteries still were good.

International Shop Modernzed,
Opens in New Location

Yesterday, a new and mod
ernized, International Shop of
which William Bill" Baar is
proprietor, opened in a new
location, No. l King Street,
Christiansted, and gave the
public a previeW Of what is un
doubtedly the most beautiful
and most attractive store in
the Virgin Islands. At least,
that was the concensus of OPT
MON of the hundreds of visit
ors to the store yesterday.
The entire color scheme and
motif in decorating are Mr..
Bars own idea. In it he tries
to embody everything of a
tropical island, including Sea
Fans, fish net, conch, drift
wood and palm thatch. In adj
dition, a special paint was used
for all showcases and shelv-
ing and cabinets, called drift
wood gray" In the northeast
corner Of the store is a TRAN
gular settee for the comfort
of the shopper The "Interna-
tional's" decoration and set-up
will, without doubt, be copied
in whole or partially by many.
Besides being a professional
actor of stage and radio, Mr..
Baar, studied art and its kind
erd aspects Scenic design and

Art Institute, New York's
Grand Central Art School and
also under private instructors.
