Wittman, of Oshkosh, is pictured as lie dragged his midget racer off the field as if it were a kiddy car. Wittman won the handicap Invitation race In the annual Miami All-Amerlcan maneuvers. His two friends, Rudy Kling, of Lemont, 111., and Frank Haines, of Detroit, were killed in crashes early in the meet. Wittman's tiny plane has a speed of more than 270 miles an hour.

"A thousand airplanes would be ready for the attack. At 1 a. the frontier would be crossed. From, that moment until 5 a. (during a time of the year when the nights are long) five waves of planes would be launched toward Paris.

The first would arrive about 3 a. the others at Intervals of an hour. The attack would be launched with a maximum of intensity along the Stuttgart-Porio route. "About 3,400 tons of explosives would be dropped, as well as hundreds of tons of Incendiary projectiles and gas bombs. We could expect panic.

"Of planes now In favor all are based on the fir.it attack on Franco. With the fate of France settled, the invader would turn her attention to Russia." Faroux called attention to growth of German armed power since the advent of Hitler, alleging that whore the Versailles Treaty limited the German army to 100,000 men and officers with a maximum service of 12 months, Hitler now has 1,000,000 Mghly trained soldiers under arms, with an additional 100,000 In the navy and air force and 5,000,000 reserves. He said 78 por cent of the German budget is set aside for the armed forces. The writer cited two alleged statements by Hitler: "'The ether continents a their monkeys; has her shall act differently from Mussolini. I shall not spend months In treaties and parleys, but will start violently )n the night and shall swoop down on the enemy with tho speed of light." 1 SCHOONER ENDS SHADED CAREER AS MELON SHIP CAMDEN, N.

serving as an oyster schooner, fishing boat, rum-runner, Chinese smuggler and legitimate fright hauler, the 56-year-old schooner E. P. Evans pulled sheepishly into port here recently with a cargo of watermelons. Built In 1881, the boat, its sides seamed and barnacled, was captured 11 times by the U. S.

government during Its unsavory career. Her journeys since then touched Virginia, Sweden, Havana and uncharted islands in the South Seas. The boat was sold and resold nfter each arrest. A new crew had to be recruited on the successive occasions, former crews being held In jails all over the world. Boyd Fagen, the preesnt owner, came into possession of the schoner when it sank in 30 feet of water near Cape May, in 3935.

Ho raised the vessel to use as a potato hauler until the ever-widening holes in the sides end its journeying. LEGEND UPSET AS TO GHOSTLY BUFFALO HERD AUSTIN, workers for the Texas game, fish and oyster commission have discovered a record of a "ghost buffalo herd" that 40 years ago created wide interest among cential Texas sportsmen. Wild buffalo had disappeared from Texas several years earlier because of the depredations of professional killers. Then in 1894, a sports magazine reported that "40 or SO" buffalo still roamed the wild area of Val Verde county along the Rio Grande. As the story circulated, the heard grew figuratively larger.

An expedition to the "last herd" was found at San Antonio Then came word that the herd had crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico. The buffalo hunters grew suspicious and finally disbanded. H. P. Attwater, well-known naturalist of the day, checked on the legendary herd.

He concluded that the buffalo wiis a myth "So far as I know, no sign of them has been seen," wrote Altwater In a report i commission's files. "It is strange that some of the buffalo have not turned up since, or at least been heard from in some way." an overcharge of one cent in her rent a Dundee, Scotland, woman sued and won her case. Wr!

SPAR Indians Feara for Barter Rights Along Blue Ridge Parkway (By United Press) ASHEVILLE, N. Cherokee Indians are making a last stand against the federal government. In this instance they are refusing to barter in western North Carolina. The Indians want to squat along the Blue Ridge Parkway and sell bead work and pottery, and the government wants a right-of- way with easements, The issue in the controversy hinges on the government's demand for -control of 400 feet of land on each side of the parkway. The Indians would provide the land for the actual right-of-way entering the Great Smoky Park today, but they fear loss of "squatter rights" on each side of the parkway.

Chief Jarrett Blythe urged his tribe to give the land for the parkway and the "easements." Instead, the tribesmen have followed the leadership of their vice-chief, Fred Bauer, Whilo the National Park Service has agreed to permit the Indians to keep on farming their land along the parkway all the way up to the construction line, even though "easements" are granted, they have been told by Bauer that if they grant easements for 400 feet on each side of the proposed right- of-way, the federal government at any time can force them out of this area, prevent them from selling their trinkets and handicrafts along the highway, and even prevent them from using parkway with their cars, trucks, and wagons. The park service, the Indian Bureau, the Department of the Interior and even the North Carolina State Highway commission for more than three years have been trying to convince the Indians that they would not be deeding away any of their lands or forfeiting any of their rights. The park service has even agreed to build the Cherokees a large and completely equipped trading post where they could sell their native handicrafts to tourists on a cooperative basis. It also has offered to build a hotel on the reservation which would offer employment and profit to more Indians An exchange of land was suggested under which the Indians would be given some 1,500 acres of good, fertile land now In the Great Smoky Mountains National park In exchange for the 1,2200 acres needed for the parkway. Some months ago it was feared that the refusal of the Cherokees to grant the right-of-way and easements for the parkway from Soco Gap to Cherokee might mean the loss of the gateway to the park to North Carolina and possibly the loss of the parkway itself west of Asheville.

There were indications that the parkway might be re-routed north and west of Asheville into Tennessee and enter the park on the Tennessee side, making the Cherokee reservation the back door instead of the front door to tho Great Smoky Mountains National park. Recently, however, Secietary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes indicated that the parkway will be built along the original route surveyed in North Carolina, and that contracts will be awarded in the spring for sectors west of Asheville. He also hinted that if tho Indians do not agree between now and spring, the parkway may be routed around the reservation and enter the national park at some' other point, possibly Smokemont, where premllinary work is under way on a large hotel similar those in other national parks. I Authority for granting the right- of-way for the pakway is still in the hands of the tlbal council composed of Chief Blythe, Vice Chief Bauer, and 12 members, elected by the tribe.

Jn March, 1937, the I tribal council debated the parkway! question for three days, and then i defeated the proposal by a vote of 6 to 5. BOY CAPTURES COYOTE PUP BOYD, (U.P.) Bobby Henderson, 9, -H club member, is glad that he didn't go on a coyote drive with several older boys in his neighborhood. He got his coyote--the others didn't. Trying to ease his feelings because the others deemed him to young to accompany them, he climbed to a high bluff, intent on watching them. He spied a fat coyote pup on a.

nearby ledge and peppered it with stones, then caught it with his bart hands. iHE HAMMUND 111V1LS HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN SESSION rage r-irteen.

ZOO FILM THRILLS Children of Moscow are thrilled by a film showing the wonders of the animal world as seen at the Moscow zoo. It is devoted largely to the adventures of Little Tyahra, the Boar. The scenario was written by Chaplina, who reared a lion cup in her apartment with her little son. A few years ago the zoo began its experiment of rearing together the young of the wolf, bear, fox, racoon and badger, to prove that man can change the nature of beasts. It is said to have been demonstrated that certain natural traits arise wholly out of environment.

Restored by American Aid, Rheims Cathedral Begins New Era in '38 By KENNETH T. DOWNS CORRESPONDENT I. RHEIMS, France One of the most impressive events in France next year will be the official inauguration of the restored cathedral of Notre Dame here. The magnificent, 13th century cathedral, where 25 kings of France were crowned was consecrated by the archbishop of Rheims Oct. 18, in celebration of completion 16 years' work of restoring the damage inflicted by German artillery during the war.

For the first time in 18 years, the entire cathedral has been restored to public worship. Set for Next July Plans already are well advanced for the impressive official inauguration, which will take place during July, 1938. Personages from all parts of the world will be in- vitad to the imposing ceremonies. Total damage to the cathedral during the war has been estimated at around Since 1919, contributions have poured in from all over the world to the restoration fund. One of the largest of these was a gift ot 5,200,000 francs from John D.

Rockefeller, who addition paid for rebuilding of the entire roof, carillon and upper gallery. The first shell hit Rheims cathedral on Sept. 4, 1914, and the last on Sept. 17, 1918. The Germans charged the French were using its spires as observation posts.

The French denied this. Shells Caused Heavy Damage Enormous damage was caused on Sept 19, 1914 by incendiary shells which set fire to some scaffolding on the north tower and to the beams supporting the lead roof which melted. Altogether, 287 shells hit the rathedral directly. In addition to the melting of the roof, seven of the 22 flying buttresses were broken, 14 of the 18 windows seriously damaged and 23 of the 56 statues in the famous Gallery of Kings were practically destroyed. More than half of the 4,000 square yards of stained glass was reduced to powder.

Fire, shellfire and rain contributed to the ruin of much elaborate stone carving. City Virtually Destroyed During Easter week, 1917, more than 25,000 shells fell on the city of Rheims. When it was freed by the Allied offensive in October, 1918, it was found that less than a hundred houses remained undamaged. In vi(w of the state of ruin in which the cathedral was left, its restoration, under the guidance of the architect, Henri Deneux, seems almost miraculous. Deneux is a native of Rheims and for years had sketched the cathedral for his own pleasure Stone by stone, he has directed the restoration with the strictest fidelity.

Where possible he used broken fragments of the original glass for the restored windows. HOBOES RESPECT BOX CAR BISHOP PUEBLO, Colo, Dec. 10--(UP.) --Robert I Bell, itenerant preacher, has more churches in this country than the combined buildings of any single faith. For seven years, Bell, who calls himself the "sky pilot of the rails," has been conducting services among the nation's professional transients. Any box car is his chapel--his congregation the thousands of hoboes and "drifters" who frequent "jungles" over the country.

He has lived in vacant lots and groves near railroad yards where hoboes make their temporary homes. He has brewed coffee and "mulligan" in tin cans around their open fires. Knowing the language, habits and problems of the hobo, Bell is respected and has influence among them. His mission, however, is not so much concemed with those hardened men who have been on the road for years. He is interested more in the young boys'who wander aimlessly over the country and who, he says, invariably get into trouble.

He tries to rehabilitate them and send them home. Being a "box car bishop" is not an easy job, Bell pointed out. He came to Pueblo because a distraught "mother in Kansas City asked him to help find her son. The system he uses is simple and effective. He has little trouble making friends with the men.

One of his first questions to the hobo is: "If you had a 10-year-old son and you knew he was down in these jungles, what would you do?" Invariably the answer, phrased in strong language, is: "I'd come down here after him in a hurry." Bell carries a portable typewriter, a Boy Scout first-aid kit and small leaflets of the books of the Bible. Althought wandering about the hobo jungles has resulted many times in dangerous situations, Bell said the men usually are cooperative and sympathetic.
