Azores last night said two italian
pilots forced down there Mon

York.
A clogged gas line forced the
flyers, Capt. John Brondello and
Capt. Camillio Barioglio, to give
up their attempt to fly direct from
Lisbon to New York in a single
engined airplane. Capt. Brondel-

Of our time - the saving our top
soil and the reclamation of good crop
land by adequate drainage" Noting
that "the' general public interest in
saving this great natural resource,
and the sentiment for doing some
