Russia Drilling
Many Oil Wells 1
.
MOSCOW, </P>—An account of i
wide Soviet industrial activity, in
culding construction from the
Danube to the Kurile Islands and
intensive development of the Baku
and Azerbaijan oil fields, has been
submitted to the citizens of the
U.S.S.R. in a detailed report of
the first year of Russia’s five year
plan.
Seventeen oil wells are being
drilled in Azerbaijan and new oil
wells have been sunk in the Cas
pian Sea area and the Baku re
gions, the report said. Pravda
quoted three petroleum engineers
as saying that “not merely indi

being opened in the Caspian
area.”

PEIPING, — The govern
ment’s offensive against Cheefoo
exploded today into a full-scale
campaign for the entire Shantung
province, while across the Gulf of
Chihli the nationalists swiftly
were squeezing the Communist
army out of Liaotung peninsula.
Loss of Shantung, one of the
Reds’ principal strongholds in
North China, would be a severe
blow.
As government troops continued
their assault on Cheefoo, the Com
munists’ principal port in Shan
tung, other armies launched a
campaign against the Tsingtao
Tsinan railroad, 120 miles south.
Government sources said the na
tionalists captured Pingtu, 54
miles north of Tsingtao.
Simultaneously, Communist re
inforcements from northern Ki
angsu Province began moving into
Shantung, and fighting was re
ported at several places along
their route.

Klondike Kate’s
Romance At End; ;
Mate Found Dead j
—
BEND, Ore.—Klondike Kate’s
romance was at an end today, with
her husband dead on a trail seven
miles from his prospector’s cabin
in Yukon Territory.
The one-time belle of the gold
seekers, Kate flew north 10 days
ago in quest of her husband, John
Matson, 83, from whom she had
not heard since April.
Today she sent a telegram to
friends at her home here that her
husband’s body had been found by
John Sestek, a prospector who
lived some 30 miles from Matson’s
cabin. He was delieved to have
died of natural causes.
Klondike Kate—she was Kate ■
Rockwell then—was a dance hall
girl at Dawson when she and John
Matson met.
“Johnny fell in love with me in
1900,” she once said, “but I was in !
love with someone else so he just,
stood by and watched.”
But in 1933—two years after
they had resumed a long-inter
rupted correspondence — Matson!
came out of the North and mar
ried Kate at Seattle. He still had
his prospecting to do, however,
but this year he was to have come
out for good.
Last April Kate bought a little
place at Halsey, Ore., where *‘we'
could have a little garden and I
flowers and things.”
But Matson didn’t come 'back,!
and Kate went North to find him
—and found tragedy.
