Cancel Aleutian
Mail Contract
SEATTLE, (/P)—Capt, J. H. Pe
trich, skipper and owner of the
Alaska carrier Aleutian Mail, dis
closed yesterday that his mail con
tract between Seward and Atka
and Dutch Harbor has been can
celled by postal authorities.
He asserted that the cancella
tion will mean that people at iso
lated Aleutian outposts will be
without regular and direct freight
and passenger service. The people,
he said, are protesting the move.
Petrich said the mail will be
carried by air to a western point
and disti huted by small boats. He
* said the nail contract amounted to
a virtual subsidy for the freight
and passenger operation.
Honest Cabbie
Aids Queen
SEATTLE, (/P> — If it hadn’t
been for an honest cab driver,
Queen Kathleen Clawson of Fair
banks might ’have had her Seattle
vacation trip sadly curtailed.
Tbe blonde queen, who, with
her four attendants, is spending a
week’s vacation in Seattle, almost
lost her purse—containing all her
vacation money—Tuesday.
Tuesday morning the five girls
and Miss Lulu Fairbanks hired a
cab to take them to the Smith
Tower building. After they left the
cab, Miss Clawson noticed she had
left her purse in the vehicle.
The cabbie had driven off by
then so they dropped in a ground
floor office.
Hardly had they settled down
when the cab driver walked in
with the purse.
“We didn’t even get his name.”
Miss Fairbanks said. “He had
searched all over the building for
us. Wasn’t that an honest thing to
do?”
Record For Low
« |
Car Mileage
WINDSOR, Vt. (^P)—Automobile
dealer Clarence Martin today
chalked up an uncherished record
for low mileage with a new ve
hicle.
Martin called at the Windsor
station for a new truck, just de
livered, and drove it 100 feet to a
full stop—on a railroad crossing.
A through freight demolished the
stalled vehicle as Martin leaped
to safety.

Many Injured
In Jerusalem
Explosion . '
(By James M. Long)
; JERUSALEM, (/P)—The closely
guarded Jewish agency building
was badly damaged by an explo
sion yesterday soon after a car
flying an American flag was seen
entering its courtyard.
The Jewish Agency, the official
organization for the Palestine
Jewry, said nine persons were
killed and 89 injured. Up to 500
persons were in the building and
50 or 60 were in the right wing,
which was the worst shattered.
Jews in the building at the time
said the automobile with the
American flag entered the court
yard through the guarded gate
with two men inside. The men
parked the car, walked out past1
the guard and drove away in a
waiting taxicab, the witnesses
said. The building caught fire after
the blast.
The gate guards said that be
cause the car showed the Ameri-1
can flag and the occupants “seem
ed English or American types,” i
they let it in without a careful
check.
A source in Haganah, the Jew-'
ish agency’s militia, said examina-|
tion of wreckage indicated the au-;
tomobile was that of United States t
consul general Robert B. Macatee,
stolen Wednesday.
The building, finished in the
late twenties, housed all archives
of the agency and the most im
portant records of Zionism.
Archbishop Flays
Birth Control
HARTFORD. Conn., (/P) — Fa
mous old Protestant families of
Boston and New England have
been criticized by a Roman Cath
olic archbishop for what he term
ed their failure to reproduce them
selves.
The Most Rev. Richard J. Cush
ing, archbishop of Boston, attack
ing birth control and the “contra
ception movement” in a speech
before 3,200 persons at the nation
al Catholic family life conference
here, asked:
“What is to become of our coun
try if the most privileged people
in it fail or refuse to reproduce
themselves?”
“The Adams, the Bradfords, the
Eliots, the Coolidges, and that
distinguished line of Cushings to
which I do not belong” were sin
gled out for especial mention by
the archbishop.
He cited as evidence the Boston
telephone directory. It contained,
he said, columns of Kellys, Co
hens, Kennedys and Sullivans in
contrast to a half-column of Eli
ots. And most of the Eliots, he
added, were the “Eliot Garage,
Eliot Repair Shop, Eliot Square
Fish Market and other such list
ings.”
DOUAI, France, (7P) — About
18,000 coal miners are on strike

days ago. Some pits are operating,
however.
