Two Rivals in World Race - Reach Calcutta, 5000 ‘Miles Behind Him.
BY H. R. EKINS ‘Times Special Writer MANILA, Oct. 10. — Ten days travel from New York City and the World-Telegram Building . has brought me around the world to Manila. I arrived here in a KNILM commercial air liner at 5:55 p. m. (Ma-
nila time), almost 15,000 miles of
flying by plane and dirigible. I am told that I am the first paspenger to arrive in Manila from the east by commercial plane. Although I still have more than 10,000 miles to go, over Pan-American Airways sky bridge to the United States and . across the continent to my starting place, this city’s reaction to our arrival was as enthusiastic as though Manila were the terminus of this air race. Huge crowds gathered on the borders of Sogsy Nichols Field, oblivious of the intermittent downpour, as our big Douglas transport raced in with an escort of United States Army planes.
‘Escorted to Palace
I was welcomed by Maj. Arsenio Natividad, heading a party of Phildppine officials, and escorted at once to the Malacangang Palace, where President Manuel Quezon was good enough to congratulate me on “a splendid, smoothly carried out achievement, The flight over KNILM was deVoid of delay or untoward incident, 25 was my longer journey with that other great Dutch airline, KLM.

. During my stay I was the guest of the head of the oil field and refineries. While technicans carefully worked out’ sa formula providing 100 ocatane gas for our plane in order that we might have a proper grade of fuel regardless of ‘the quality of the petrol taken on later at Zamboanga. Coming up to Manila we had a good deal of unpleasant: weather, but came on in regardless, after Nichols Field observers assured us by radio that we could do so safely. Immediately on landing I asked the whereabouts of my rivals, Dorothy Kilgallen of the International News Service and Leo Kieran of the North American Newspaper Alliance. I was told that they were in India, 5000 miles behind me.

Paris Balks at Danger of Antagonizing ‘Rome and Berlin, Is Claim.
(Copyright, 1936, by United Press)
LONDON, Oct. 10.—Soviet Russia’s effort to put “teeth” into. the Spanish-non-inter-vention agreement appeared
today to have failed.
Action on Russia's angry protest against alleged Fascist aid to the Spanish rebels was delayed—in such manner as to take as much fire from it as possible. That Russia’s delegate consented to the Sidetracking, by which the powers anged an exchange of diplomatjc notes on charges and counter-charges, was believed due in part to the failure of France to support its ally. France did not want to antagonize Italy and Germahy and wreck any hopes that may be left for a new Locarno treaty. Hence Russia’s offensive almost collapsed before the end of yesterday’s meetings of the committee o 27 nations on the non-interventio agreement, meetings character d by bitter recriminations. These recriminations increased tension in Europe and made statesmen apprehensive lest there be a race between Fascist and left-wing nations to aid'their favorites in the Spanish civil war, Their frank entry into the fight would be highly dangerous to European peace.
