No fatalities were reported from the greenish-yellow fumes which seeped from a 220-pound steel cylinder on a delivery truck and billowed out over a radius of half a dozen blocks In a busy downtown section. More than 350 men, women and children were taken to seven hospitals. Most of them were allowed to go home after treatment. Scores of others were treated at makeshift first aid stations set up in stores, gasoline ststlons and nearby homes.

As the pungent fumes spread over the area, people toppled to the ground like flies, eyewitnesses said, while others were sent into violent spells of choking, coughing and vomiting. The scene resembled pictures of battlefields, they said. Many of the victims were subway passengers, affected when the gas descended through ventilators into two subway stations. Hundreds of passengers were made ill and fled to the streets where they, too, were overcome falling to the sidewalks. More than a score of ambulances urer of the state committee.

For several years Mr. Mathews was superintendent of the M. I. Sunday school and for three years served aa president of the State Sunday School association. For more than 50 years he was a member of the official board of the church here and has been an emeritus member.

Scheduled (or a key-not address, a group of democratic leaders -sought at the Maryland convention IWday to name an 18-vote unlnstructed delegation to girt the state a hand In the selection of a vice presidential candidate at the party's national convention. Rayburn, who has been mentioned as a second place choice If President Roosevelt seeks a fourth term, was called upon for a "harmony" talk In a meeting where all factions apparently wanted to prevent any outcropping of anti-Roosevelt sentiment. Nevertheless, one faction of the Marylanders was represented as believing that If the state left It delegates unpledged, they would have more opportunity of sharing in the choice of the vice presidential nominee. The Maryland meeting vied for attention with a gathering of Indiana republicans to complete that state's slate of 29 GOP delegates and to pick nominees for governor and senator.

Twenty-two of the Indiana delegates were chosen Thursday, In congressional district caucuses, without Instructions as to how to vote at the Chicago convention. I The national socialist party opened Its three-day convention in Reading, with the emphasis laid on policies rather than candidates. In Washington, John B. Quinn, who managed Lt. Commander Harold E.

Stassen's successful campaign in the Nebraska preferential primary, complained that the silence of major presidential candidates was making the political race a "hush-a-bye" contest. His Jibe, apparently aimed at the silence of Oov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York about his potential presidential candidacy, par-alleled similar proposals by Gov. John W.

Brlcker of Ohio that other candidates come out Into the open to tell where they stand on political issues. 4 NUMBER 4 (Continued from Page 1) trust will grow during war and expand after peace." Well, America wants friendship with Spain, too, but our view-point appears to be somewhat different. Despite Churchill's speech, President Roosevelt later expressed the opinion that Spain's shipments of supplies to Germany haven't yet been reduced enough. It strikes me that our average citizen, in considering Spain's attitude, is likely to demand first an answer to two questions: 1. Does Spain's shipment of sup- for the association was realized at the end of 1921 when a handsome, classical building was completed for the home office and headquarters of the association.

During his earlier years In Ne braska, he was active In the republican party, serving in the campaigns of 1894 and 1896 as speaker for the republican state central committee. In 1898, he waa nomi nated for state auditor by acclamation together with the late Senator, Hayward aa a candidate for governor. Both were defeated by small votes. After the election, Hsyward en tered the race for U. 8.

senator and appointed Mr. Mathews managea of the campaign which resulted in the senator's election after a two months contest. Mr. Mathews was appointed U. 8.

marshal for the Nebraska district by President McKlnley In 1899 and was reappointed tn 1903. 'In 1908 he was elected cashier of the Fremont Trust and Savings bank and in 1913 he organized the Fremont States bank, which absorbed the Fremont Savings bank, and was elected cashier. He later aucceeded the late R. B. Schneider aa president and resigned as president In June, 1920.

A director of the First National bank and chairman of the finance committee for many years, Mr. Mathews also took an active part in the Nebraska Bankers association and served for one year as Ne braska vice president Of the American Bankers association. He was recommended in November, 1921, by the department of trade and commerce for appointment as receiver of the Fidelity Trust company of Fremont and his selection was approved by the directors and the district court. The distinction of serving as president of the Nebraska league of savinga and loan associations for 19 years also belonged to Mr. Mathews who, in 1940, refused to be reelected.

He since has been president emeritus. He was also a member of the executive committee of the U. S. league of building and loan associations.

Then what could happen since OPA's life exDlres June 30? Congress can renew OPA's life by approving a simple resolution to ao so wunoui any amendments. That would leave congressmen in a position to tell their constituents who had wanted amendments: "You see, I did the best I could."

He entered the financial world in 1884 as cashier of the Cass county bank at Bearwstown, which later was reorganized as the First State Bank, and became secretary and manager of the Beardstown Build ing and Loan association and city clerk. In the latter, capacity he served for eight years. Illness of Mrs. Mathews, who be came afflicted with malaria, required the Mathews family to move from Illinois. Her physician at the time advised Nebraska and their decision to come to Fremont was Influenced by the fact they had friends here.

She died in Fremont October 8, 1930 after a six-year 111 ness. It was In 1802 that Mr. Mathews organized the Nebraska State Building and Loan association here, serving as secretary and manager until 1901 when he was elected president. He continued as presi an church from June 8 to 11. Rev.

Quoting an historian of the 19th century, the pontiff said Rome has good reasons before the world to be respected and left untouched. Rome has known terrible days In Its history, he continued tn the 16th century. In the 18th and on many other occasions.

"On all these occasions the popes of the times succeeded in avoiding catastrophe and rescued and oper.ed their doors to refugees of all creeds of all nationalities," he said. "But what were the number of 6.000 or 7,000 refugees compared with the thousands of today?" "To the last of our energies, and helped by so many good people, we Intervened often," the pope said. "In spite of the violations of our rights we have tried to help the population of Rome and its surrcundings, supplying them with food. "We have also started negotiations in order to bring food by way of the sea. But the consent of one belligerent still is awaited." Continuing, the pontiff said: "Wc have tried everything in.

order to spare Rome one of the darkest moments In its history. It is our su preme-duty to follow the rules of our Lord as Peter did. "In all the nations of the world there is a want for the future new order. But this new order must be. supported by Just and well balanced moral and material guarantees.

"Hopes for future peace would be better based and more realistic if there were not so many religloua movements which have departed from the Christian church and cre ated separatist ehurches."

Large selection at and up tude rating for a particular position, you mar be given an opportunity to compete for the classification that you prefer. But it is important to remember that jobs on the AAF team are vitally important that air combat crews not Only are chosen from the very cream of the nation's young men, but that each seat in every plane must be filled by the man it it quali. jWtofillit. Gunners go into actual combat as noncommissioned officers. In addition to being the world's best aerial marksmen, gunners.

may qualify as trained technicians in radio, armament or airplane mechanics. Pilots, Navigators, and Bombardiers are graduated from training as 2nd Lieutenants or Plight Officers. Your job, and your rank, in the AAF will depend upon your own demonstrated abilities. For full information as to qualify ing for the Air Corps Lnlisted Reserve, see your nearest AAF Examining Board or local Army Recruiting Station. For Pre-Aviation Training Whether or not you have yet reached 17, you can begin how to prepare yourself to qualify for the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve.

See your local Civil Air Patrol officers about C.A.P. Cadet Training also see your High School principal or adviser about recommended courses in the Air Service Division of the High School Victory Corps. Both offer excellent pre-avia-tion training and help point the nay to AAF wings. U. S.

ARMY RECRUITING SERVICE EKUTVt)rr in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve is once more open to qualified young Americans who want to win their wings on the "greatest team in the world" an AAF air combat crew. In April, thanks to the air-mindednesj of America's youth, the AAK's personnel program wsj well ahead of schedule. More than enough men were in training, and in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, to meet scheduled quotas for combat.crews. At the same time, the need for men. in other branches of the army was urgent.

Therefore, opportunities to join the AAF including the 17-ycar-oId Enlisted Reservewere suspended. As the Commanding General pointed out, the suspension of enlistments in the Reserve was intended only as a temporary measure. Accordingly, effective June 1, enlistments have again been opened in the 17-ejr-old Enlisted Reserve in order to insure a sufficient number of qualified individuals fur training this fall. The AAF is a Team Today, the AAF is the largest, most powerful air force in the world. Fighting side by side with the planes of our Navy and our Allies, it has won control of the air in every theatre and has carried the war to the military and industrial hearts of Germany and Japan.

It is daring the enemy to "come up and fight." Vet its losses have been less than anyone had anticipated or even dared to hope. That all this has been accomplished is due, in large measure, to the fact that the AAF air combat crew is mart than just planes and men. The combat crew is a (tarn the greatest fighting team the world has ever seen with Gunners, Bombardiers, Navigators and Pilots flying and fighting logtlher, to win. And any young man who wants AAF wings should keep this ideal of teamitork uppermost in his mind. It is the key to AAF successes in battle.

It will be the key to his own success in the AAF. If you want to fly with the AAF, you may apply at any AAF Examining Board for enrollment in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, t'pon passing the preliminary qualifying physical and mental tests, you will become a member of the V. S. Army Air Forces on intdive July. This means that you will not be called for training until you have reached your 18th birthday.

If you are at work you may remain on the job until you are 18. If you are in high school, you msy elect to finish the semester you are in when you become 18. If you are a high school graduate, not over 17 yean and 9 months, you may elect to tajiej.dvantage of the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program, which provides free college training for men approaching military age. When called, you will first be given "basic" training. During this period, you will take "aptitude" tests to determine whether you will be classified for training as Gunner, Bombardier, Navigator or Pilot.
