m the Guy Missing From

Cockpit,’ Phone Caller Says

MOBILE, Ala. June 18 (U. P).— Lt. C. W. Geldbaugh was flabbergasted when he landed his army dive bomber at Brookley fleld and found the rear cockpit empty. While Geldbaugh was trying to ‘figure out what had happened to ‘his passenger, Cpl. Lester H. Kenieon of Salamanca, N, Y. the corporal telephoned Brookley field from : Waynesboro, Miss., 100 miles away. Brookley ' field public relations office reported today that Kenison ‘asked if any “army plane without a rear passenger had landed there:” | “I'm the guy who wasn’t in it,” he explained, Kenison, brought here to a hospital ‘for treatment of a bump on the head, lacerated left ear, bruised knuckles and a sore chest, had this

open the vent to “get a little fresh air” and unhooked his safety belt by mistake. “The air was bumpy,” Kenison said, “and about that time the plane went into a steep vertical bank, and I went out. I struck the vertical fin before clearing the ship, and things looked pretty spotty after that. I guess I automatically pulled the ripcord and the ‘chute opened.” The plane was en route from St. Louis, Mo., to a Florida air base at the time.

Get Out of War Held ‘Understatement.’

Copy ht, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times :

The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, June 18.—Well-informed circles in this! |

part of Europe are firmly convinced

that the Ankara report of Rumanian efforts to contact the allies in the Turkish capital was not only wellfounded but, if anything, an understatement of the truth. And these neutral circles have good reason to know. Not so long ago, these circles disclose, the government of Marshal Ion Antonescu, anxious not to be preceded by its Hungarian rival in allied good favor, and asked the Papal Nuncio to sound out the British and ‘American legations concerning a Rumanian plan for “nonbelligerency.” In exchange for their defection from the axis camp, the Rumanians wanted two things: 1. A promise that all of Transylvania would be returned to.them after the war. 2, A formal allied guarantee that Russia would keep its hands off their country.

Would Cede Bessarabia

As a further price for this guarantee, the Rumanians even stated that they would be willing to cede Bessarabia to their formidable soviet neighbors. The Papal Nuncio, always ready to intervene when peace is a stake, apparently agreed te forward the proposals but met with the inevitable stern, allied reply. As proof of his genuine desire to loosen the bonds with the axis Premier Antonescu, about the same time informed Berlin that Rumania no longer was able to fulfill its commitments under the GermanRumanian trade agreement of 1939 and that the dispatch of foodstuffs, would, consequently, be discontinued from June 1, The foodstuffs in question comprised monthly deliveries of large quantities of wheat, meat and maize destined to nourish the German people.

Note Was Blunt

In the Berlin note, Antonescu bluntly stated that Rumania’s pres-i ent stocks no longer permitted such generosity even in favor of its greatest friend. Meanwhile, Rumania apparently is doing its best to cement relations with other southeast European countries. Rumanian “cultural” missions lately have been sent to Sofia and Zagreb while a Slovakian cultural delegation has recently been entertained in Bucharest. All reports here suggest that the description “cultural” is merely a blind to the political activities of these missions. Doubtless, the Rumanians . also hope that if one day they can speak as the sponsor of the Balkan en- | tente, their voice will resound more loudly in allied ears.

ENVOY CONFIRMS JAPS' ATROCITIES

WASHINGTON, June 18 (U. P.).! —Sir Owen Dixon, the Australian | minister, reported today on his return from a visit to Australia that there have been well authenticated |

instances of Japanese murdering their prisoners and of other atrocities. * The envoy, who visited the New Guinea battlefronts, said Australian troops who had fought also against the Germans held the Japanese in particularly low esteem. Other allied troops agree that the Japanese are a treacherous foe but have no particular military skill, he said. Sir Qwen said the situation in Australia had improved greatly in the 11 months of his absence: that the people are reconciled to the high command decision to concen-

defeat of Germany would hasten

POLIO FUND GIVEN $1,000,000 CHECK

WASHINGTON, June 18 (U. P.). —Nicholas M. Schenck, chairman of the motion. picture march of dimes committee, today handed President Roosevelt a $1,000,000 contribution to the national infantile paralysis fund in behalf of the motion picture exhibitors and the moviegoers of the nation. The $1,000.000 represented about half. of what the motion picture industry raised for the polio fund during its march of dimes cam-, paign. Half of the funds contributed in this manner were given to the local infantile parelysis organizations. Schenck and Basil O’Connor, head of the National Infantile] Paralysis Foundation, were lunch-||

STALIN ASSURES POLES OF F RIGHTS

Aid

Promises “Soviet Will In Restoration of

Independence.

MOSCOW, June 18 Premier Josef Stalin promised. all

possible Soviet aid today in restor- | ing a strong and independefit Po-|

land after the war.

Stalin’s position was contained in a; message sent to the first congress of Polish patriots in Russia who told | him that “we will not allow persons who strive to drive a wedge between | the “Polish people and the Soviet, union to trouble the water.” “You may rest assured,” Stain replied, “that the Soviet Union will | do everything possible to expedite | the routing of our common enemy | —Hitlerite Germany—to strengthen! Polish-Soviet friendship and to contribute by every means to the! restoration of g strong and inde- | pendent Poland.” The Poles, led by Wanda Wassi- | lewska, expressed appreciation for

{ being allowed to form a division of |

troops in Russia and said that Polish-Soviet friendship “forms one | of the most vital of Polish national interests.” :

Ration Tokens

Weighed by OPA

WASHINGTON, June 18 (U. P). —Ration tokens instead of ration stamps appeared as a possibility today following thé first public airing by the office of price administration of an idea that “has been under discussion for some time.” The tokens would be of noncritical, but tough, material. Under the token plan, paper ration stamps would be issued in large denominations, one stamp being worth an entire month's allowance of rationed food. When a consumer makes the initial purchase of a ration period tokens would be given as change for the stamp. For the remainder of the period tokens would be the “currency” used in making rationed purchases. : As the tokens would relieve store operators of the volume of “paper” attached to the present system and speed transactions. :
