Six Nations Sign Treaty
To Create One-Uniform
European Defense Army
PARIS, (/P)—Six nations signed
a treaty Tuesday fusing their
forces into a one-uniform Euro
pan army. The Big Three western
powers backed it up with the sol
emn declaration that an attack cm
Berlin, West Germany or any
other part of free Europe would
be a “threat to their own secur
ity.”
The declaration was coincident
with the ceremonial signing of
the army pact and related agree
ments by France, West Germany,
Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg which, when
ratified, will merge their armed
forces into a single army of one
million men—history’s first peace
time international force.

Only Cigaret Aboard
The SS Victoria In 1908
Raffled Off For $4.95
June 16, 1908—One of the most
■amusing incidents that occurred
on the steamer Victoria’s first 1908
trip to Nome was the raffling of
a single cigaret, the only one
aboard. It brought the nice little
sum of four dollars and eighty
five cents.
For five days there had been
no tobacco on board the vessel,
with the exception of the lone
cigaret, and in order that as many
as desired might have a chance
to smoke, it was arranged to have
it raffled.
Barry Keown, one of the re
turning basketball team, drew the
lucky numbers, but he lost the
smoke in the scrimmage and had
to content himself with seeing an
other enjoy it.

Survive Dramatic
Crash Landing
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., HP)
— Twelve B - 29 Superfortress
crewmen escaped without a
scratch in a dramatic crash land
ing at Tinker Air Force Base
Monday.
The plane had circled the field

ered his right landing gear was
locked shortly after he took off
from Forbes Air Force Base, at
Topeka, Kansas, at 1 p.m*

down and refused to bail out.
At 7 p.m., while fire trucks and
a large crash crew stood by,
Haines dropped slowly to the run
way cleared for the landing. His
left and front wheels touched the
ground and the craft sped down
the runway for about 500 yards.
Then the right landing gear,
which was locked half-way out,
buckled and the wing dragged on
the runway, turning the plane in
a circle to the right on some grass.
Sparks and flames appeared
momentarily from the friction and
Air Force personnel watching the
landing held their breath. The
main hatch opened and the crew
men made a quick dash outside,
leaving the fire crews to spray
the smoking engines with Fomite.
