Death of Youth
Is Investigated
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 5, (U.R)—
Military police today investigated
the suicide of Laverne H. Jessup
22, Randolph field soldier who
hired a pistol at a shooting gal-
lery took five shots at a target
then fired the sixth bullet into
his brain.
Jessup spent the last dime he
i had in his pocket for the six bul-

attendant at the shooting gallery
i said.
LONDON, Nov. 5 <U.R) — The
reatest flying network in the
world is envisioned for Great Bri-
tain, perhaps within a few years.
Imperial Airways has a mandate
from the government to complete a
chain of air routes around the
globe.
The plan Is for London to be the
hub, with air links branching out
to all corners- of the empire, across
Europe and Asia to Australia, ov-
er the Atlantic to Montreal, thence
to Vancouver and on across the
"top of the world" to Hongkong
and Singapore.
Pioneering of the Atlantic route
in conjunction with Pan-American
Airways is only the first step in an
ambitious plan to ran the line over
the top of the -world and on to a
junction with the England-Austra
lian service at Singapore. Thus
Australia and New Zealand would
get their Canadain mail direct by
air.
Pacific Bases Ladling
While Great Britain controls the
air bases for the Atlantic service,
with the exception of the Portu-
guese Azores—Bermuda being a
key point even for th6 southern
route—America controls the essen-
tial Pacific bases, particularly Ha-
waii. Although they have a work-
ing agreement for the Atlantic
with Pan-American Airways, the
British wish to avoid Honolulu on
the Pacific service. So they are
now planning to pioneer a route by
way of Alaska and the Aleutian
chain of islands stretching across
the top of the world from the
American towrd the Asitic Conti-
nent.
It has been discovered that there
is a warm current, something like
the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic,
running around the Aleutian Is-
lands which makes the establish-
ment of an air base there practica-
ble. Establishment of study now.
The immediate objective is es-
tablishment to regular service a-
cross the North Atlantic, and then
continuing the route on across the
Canadian Continent. By the trans-
Canada service, Montreal will be
brought within 17 hours of Van-
couver by a daily service designed
to link up with the Atlantic ser-
vice.

PARIS, Nov. 8 <U.R) — It was
learned today that the government
will be asked to decide whether
France shall send a team to the
1940 Olympic games at Tokyo or
whether it shall poin a group of
central European nations demand-
ing that the quadrennial interna-
tional competition be transferred
to Finland.
The Jugoslavian Olympic com-
mittee yesterday urged the French
committee to join a movement to
withdraw the games from Tokyo
because "Japan's political attitude
does not conform to Olympic ideals
of fraternity among nations."
The French committee decided
the government should decide the
issue. Chairman Armand Massas,
accompanied by minister of sports,
Leo La Grange, will consult for-
j eign Minister 'Yvon Delbos at Chau
temps as soon as possible to study
French participation and a govern-
ment subsidy that would enable
sending a team.
Massard said that a final decis-
ion could be made only after the
meeting of the International Olym-
pic Committee in Cairo next March
when it will be decide whether the
rule covering amateurism is alter-
able to the extent of allowing ath-
letes to be reimbursed for the time
lost from work while traveling to
and from the games.

tion, she "likes to play around."

OTTAWA, Ont. Nov. 6 «J.R) —
Supreme court of Canada reserved
judgment today on the validity of
Carol Van Millar's will which start
ed 17 Toronton women on a child
bearing rage for a stake of $800,-
000.
Chief Justice Lyman P. Duff
said the court whould "nave to
spend sometime studying the will
to determine whether it would be
invalidated on the basis of "clause
nine" in which the wealth sports-
man established the "maternity
marathon" purse.
Counsel for Alexander Butcher
and Arabella West, relative* of
Millar contended that clause nine
was "again public policy," because
it "put a premium on immorality
and induced illegitimate birth."

<U.R>—Coastwise shipping was re-
turning to normal in South Atlan-
tic and East Gulf ports today af-

nah stevedores' were said to have

BAR ITALY IN
EFFORTS END
FAR EAST WAR
BRUSSELS, Nov. 5, (U.R)—The
Democratic powers in the Nine-
Power conference are determined
to exclude Italy in negotiations
with Japan and China for a sol-
ution for their war it was dis-
closed today.
The full conference met in pri-
vate session during the morning
The nations appeared to have
formed . a united front against
Italy's insistence on membership
in the committee which will at-
tempt to "lure" Japan into nego-
tiations.Britain's strong stand
with the Untied States and Fran-
ce against Italy was in contrast
with her tendency to make con-'
cessions at previous peace gath-
erings.

Italian Vessel
Machine Gunned
SHANGHAI, Nov. 10 <U.R) —Ma-
chine gun bullets rained on the
decks of the Italian cruiser Monte-
cuccoli tonight as Chinese and Jap-
anese gunners engaged in a duel
off the Nantao front along the
Whangpoo river.
A commander of the Italian War-
ship mounted a loud speaker and
demanded the firing cease but the
protest went unheeded and the
crew of the crusier was forced to
take refuge below deck. The duel
started when a Japanese gunboat
opened up against heavy Chinese
machine gun emplacements at
Nanpao where a surrounding Chi-
nese battalion was making a last
stand against the Japanese.

Opening Organ
Concert Baylor
Be November 11
The opening concert on the great
Brooks memorial organ in Waco
Hall, Baylor University will be giv-
en Wednesday evening November
17th at 8:15 p. m.
One of the world's greatest or-
ganists has been selected for this
occasion, Marcel Dupre, organist
for six yearB at Notre Dame in
Paris and now presiding at the
great organ in St. Sulpice in Paris,
which post he has held for many
years.
Marcel Dupre is of a long musi-
cal lineage, his family having been
devoted to music for more than a
century; his grandfather a famed
organist, his father also a pupil of
Guilmont, Marcel's teacher also.
Wuilmont was the greatest master
of organ of his day having been
fljltprtained by Queen Victoria in
Windsor Castle and decorated and
honored by royalty and musical in-
stitutions all over Europe.
How fitting that his distinguish-
ed pupil, Marcel Dupre, of such
royal musical lineage should have
been chosen above all others to
play the prenuptial program at
the weddin gof the Duke of Wind-
sor! How often the young prince
had heard him play to a crowded
hal lin Westminster Abbey, where
he is one of the few continental or-
ganists who can fill this august
hall. How natural that the two
who board vessels for regular time
and 12 cents an hour overtime for
both.
should have become personal
friends.
Dupre's is a deep and rich music-
ianship, a truly great art! Prise
after prize he has won in 1* ranee,
including the Grand Prix de Rome,
His inexhaustible Imagination in
Polyphonic composition makes him
one of the greatest inmprovisors ft
all time, playing elaborate compo-
sitions on themes given him on a
moments notice.
