FLYING ARROW NOW
READY TO SAIL AGAIN;
AWAIT INSTRUCTIONS
M THE EI .YING AR-

ABOARD THE FLYING AR
ROW, Jan. 11.--(P).-The Ameri-
can freighter, Flying Arrow, is fit
to sail again. In a dispatch from
the vessel. Associated Press Cor
respondent Wayne Richardson
says the Flying Arrow crewmen
have patched the ship enough to
permit her to get to the nearest
port. The Flying Arrow was hit
Monday by some thirty to forty
shells from a Chinese Nationalist
gunboat about twenty miles from
Shanghai. AT the time, the Fly
ing Arrow was heading for Com
muniSt-held Shanghai in spite of
a Nationalist blockade.
Now, says AP Correspondent
Richardson, the Flying Arrow
can move as soon as her operators
the IsbrandtSen Line of New
York-tell the skipper where to
go. The skipper, Captain David
Jones of Chicago, says he won't
know where to take the Flying
Arrow until he gets instructions.
Two Amerisan destroyers an
chored by the Flying Arrow have
offered to escort the ship to any
port but Shanghai The destroy
ers are under orders to protect
American shipping beyond the
three mile limit but not in
Chinese territorial waters. The
destroyers have been ordered not
to escort the Flying Arrow to any
blockaded port.
The same Chinese gunboat that
shelled the Flying Arrow still is
Shadowing the ship. The gunboat
stopped a Chinese junk five hun
dred yards from the frieighter to-
day, and two American destroy
erS moved into position. AP man

Barrow Will
 Celebrate the Day With Whale Meat
(By I.achlan MacDonaid)

BARROW, Alaska, iP - The whole United States will be talk ing turkey tomorrow but here on the shores of the Arctic Ocean the main topic will be whale.
 Several hundred Eskimos are gathered here for the Thanksgiv- ing Day celebration tomorrow and a traditional feast of muktuk (Whale) and jerked caribou.
 For weeks the gathering has been the chief topic of conversa- ton along the Arctic rim as hun dreds of nomadic Eskimos con- verged on this farthest-north town from hunting camps and villages in the barren lands.
 They will gather in their new 40 by 100 foot ''karigee" for three days of celebration. Two gigantic whales will provide the menu for the feast. And they will celebrate construction of the $30,OOO kari gee, or mems meeting place, by the labor of their own people.
 The meeting here will be one of the largest indoor gatherings of Eskimos in history. They will give

thanks for a good hunting season and plentiful jobs with the navy's oil exploration crews based a few miles north of here.
 Among honored guests at the feast tomorrow is to be It. Col. M. R. Marston, Alaska National Guard officer who works with the famed Alaska Scouts. It was the guard which furnished the kari gee flooring and paid for the transportation to this remote vil- lage.
 Today a sign proclaims the building as "top- of the world ka- rigee, Barrow, Alaska" and a bearskin on the door lends the fi- nal touch. This traditional holiday feasting will mark the formal opening.
 And it may, incidentally, solve a question of how many people a whale will serve. One thing is certain: those won't be drum sticks left over after the feast.

National assembly over French
acceptance of the UN plan for
former Italian COL 3onAes The
committee took a dim view to-
ward the international statute for
Cyrenaica, TIipolitania and the

According to Edouard Bonnet
Gus, chairman of the group, the

than ever to the vital importance
of the former Italian possessions
in North Africa and to the de-
fense of the Sahara"
However, Foreign Minister Rob-

fairs committee of the Council of
the Republic that France had not
lost sight of it's interests in ac-
cepting the UN resolution. He
said nothing would be done in
