PRIZE WON BY [Photographer Think \ CHCAGD NEWS

Foreign -Reporting: Given U. of Missouri Award ' For Service.

Eo. Times Special . COLUMBIA, Mo., May 16. — If European statesmen had heeded the unpleasant facts carried in the * dispatches of . American .correspondents, the course of that continent’s history might well have been different, Carroll Binder, foreign editor of the Chicago Daily ‘News, declared followihg acceptance for his newspaper of the University of Missouri School of Journalism’s annual award for distin guished service in journalism. i 2 o careful " reader of these Mr. Stowe ispatches could have failed, to realize Germany’s growing military power, the totalitarians’ cynical disregard - for pledges, and the attackson Western civilizatior{ inherent in the Nazi sys- - tem,” Mr. Binder said. “But with but a few exceptions, Europe’s leaders chose to delude themselves. Dean Frank L. Martin presented medals for the past year’s achievements to both the Chicago Daily News ‘and to Leland Stowe, one of the newspaper’s foreign correspondents.

Can’t Be Popular

~ Mr. Stowe, cited for his brilliant coverage of the war on the Scandinavian and Balkan front, paid tribJte, in turn, to the “many, in Engjand and elsewhere today, who have ‘faced more continuous dangers than

~ 4 I have known.” = .

To show that “no war correspond=ent can be worth his salt and be popular with every government,” Mr. Stowe gave this resume of his recent career: : “For what I wrote about the Spanish war and the Spanish Re_public, I was once denounced my many persons as ‘red.’ *

Criticized by All Sides

“For what I reported about Soviet bombings and Russian defeats © in Finland, American Communists condemned me .with equal bitterness. / 3 “After. my dispatches describing ow and why Oslo fell I was praised ost generously by British officials. 7} “Two weeks later, following my reports on the defeat of British ternitorials North of Trondheim, these same London officials found reason to cast aspersions upon- my reliability. By that time I was lauded in Berlin, where a book of mine had once been damned, but was also subject to harsh criticism from many Scandinavians.”

or alive, there are at least two Nazi. Fifth Columnists. Their names. are Carl and Peter, and I am certain ‘they are Norwegian Quislings. Greenland officials are sure that direct from Greenland to Berlin, perhaps from these two lads, are flashing meteorological reports with which experts can maKe accurate weather forecasts for use by the German air and invasion forces. I met Carl and Peler a few months ago when I was in Green-

When I last saw them, they had with them ample food supplies for at least three months and a shortwave radio transmitter. ° . I am sure that their supplies have been replenished, because Nazi longrange reconnaissance bombers have been seen. over Greenland. Perhaps they have company, too, for Fifth Columnists can be landed by parachute as well as: by ship. A Nazi plane could easily be guided to where they pitched their camp hy the beams of their radio transmitting set. . I was in Angmagssalik when -m attention was first drawn to a little Norwegian trawler, the Norge,” lying in the harbor. Although she had arrived from Nazioccupied Norway beforehand, nothing had been done about discharging her cargo. Then suddenly, early one cold, foggy ‘morning, he weighed anchor and left Angmagssalik ,as mysteriously as she had arrived. 2

Guard cuiter at Angmagssalik had known of my desire to visit the little Norwegian settlement at Torgilsbu, about 100 miles down the Greenland coast. I had heard that there was a Norwegian-owned radio station there, and I wanted to get pictures of it. Late the same day that the “Ringsel Norge” sailed, the Coast Guard captain sent word that he would take me to Torgilsbu. : We picked our way slowly through the ice field and reached Torgilsbu two days later to find the “Ringsel Norge” already at anchor in the fjord. Her crew was. discharging a large amount of cargo.’ We had. been in the settlement at Torgilsbu but a few hours when a second ship of about: 325 tons steamed into the fjord. She was the “Polar Bjorn,” commanded .by a Norwegian who knew the Greenland coast intimately because he had previously conducted archeological surveys in the area, sometimes for the Danes and more recently, we were told, for the German Government. The arrival of this comparatively large ship® in deserted Torgilsbu amazed all of us. It became appar-

ent that the “Polar Bjorn” and the

“Ringsel Norge” had arranged ‘a rendezvous. The two youths, Carl and Peter, disembarfed from the “Polar Bjorn.” Although they had no papers with which to identify themselves, they proceeded at once to the little radio station and told the radio operator, a middle-aged Norwegian, that they

had been sent to relieve him. It took the rest of the day to un-

the southern tip of Greenland, when’ a party of Eskimo hunters, who had come from the north in their kayaks, arrived in town. They reported that the two young radio operators at Torgilsku had

All risks which would be too heavy for French companies to handle will, henceforth, be . shared between French and German companies, according to the terms of the agree- | ment.

[ French Share Studied The percentage of the French : | share in this pool is being discussed between: Jacques (Guerard, representative of the French companies, and German authorities. The Franco-German agreement means an important loss to British firms. A salient example of this may be cited in the 1937 figures— the latest available. In, that year a, total of 269,000, francs in premiums was paid to British firms alone. Furthermore, although exact figures for reinsurance are not obtainable since reinsurance was not controlled by the French Finance Ministry, the estimated amount paid to British firms annually was more than 2,000,000,000 francs. |
