Vast Island Airport
Being Constructed
Near Rio de Janeiro
B.v ERNIE HILL,
Foreign Correspondent for The Star and
the Chicago News.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 25.—One
of the world’s most picturesque
airports Is being conditioned here
for the big stratoliners that soon
will fly to Rio de Janeiro from
the United States and Europe.
It is on a green island out in Rio
de Janeiro’s beautiful Guanabara
Bay. A $600,000 bridge is being
constructed to connect Galeao field
on Governors Island with the main
land.
Downtown Rio de Janeiro will be
15 minutes away from the terminal
by automobile.
When its 6,000-foot runways are
ready for United States, Brazilian,
British, French and Argentine in
ternational planes, the Governors
Island aviation showplace will be
come the city’s fourth major air
port.
In landing at the island airport,
planes will circle the bay. Pas
sengers will have an excellent view
of Sugar Loaf Mountain, sticking
up 1,230 feet over the city, of the
jagged peak of Corcovado, with its
statue of Christ and of the whole
panorama of Rio de Janeiro, built
along twisting mountain passes.
Rio de Janeiro’s present com
mercial field on the bay front has
become too small for the planes
coming up. Runways at the busy
Santos Dumont terminal are only
2,990 feet long.
Efforts to lengthen the field by
dumping fill at both ends have
proved unsuccessful because of the
depth of the bay. The new big
planes have to pancake in and they
loop along the runway to keep
from plunging off the end zones into
the bay.

Mattress Truck Starts
Series of Accidents
By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSON, W,. Va,—Things
really happened when a truck
stacked 75 feet high with mattresses
struck an overhead traffic light at
a downtown intersection.
1. It ripped out a heavy stone
slab from the second story of a
nearby bank building to which the
light was anchored;
2. The slab shattered when it hit
the pedestrian-crowded pavement
but no one was hurt; ,
3. The truck knocked down three
lamp posts, and
4. It tore down a 20-foot sign
over a baking company.
Chile Making Drive
To End Illiteracy
Chile is making a determined
effort to stamp out illiteracy and
has a government-sponsored Or
ganizing Committee to raise funds
for carrying the teaching of ele
mentary studies into all parts of
the country, including remote
mountainous portions.
From Puenta Arenas come re
ports that this effort is being aided
by the British school there, which
has an average enrollment of 127
pupils, about evenly divided be
tween boys and girls.
Co-operating with the govern
ment’s literacy campaign the stu
dents, with the aid of two teachers,
raised nearly $100 in the school and
among the English-speaking com
munity for the cause.

have agreed that all that was ro
mantic and adventurous of the Brit
ish Navy lived again in these exploits.
It was a rebirth of the spirit of
Nelson and Drake and seriously
hampered German submarine ac
tivities.
Both the Zeebrugge and Ostend
entrances to the canal were formed
by piers projecting seawards with a
deep-water channel, about 300 feet
wide, between them. Both were
heavily fortified, and in the attacks
the British casualty list was high.
Two false starts were made before
the attacks actually were launched,
and on one occasion the operation
was so far advanced that the moni
tors’ bombardment had already be
gun. However, the wind changed,
thereby driving the smoke screen
In the wrong direction. Admiral
Keyes made the bold decision to

rather than commit them to so des

conditions.
Aide to Leopold.
After the war Admiral Keyes
served as deputy chief of the naval
staff and lord high commissioner of
the Admiralty from 1921 to 1925,
commander in chief of the Mediter
ranean station from 1925 to 1928
and commander of the Portsmouth
naval station from 1929 to 1931.
At the beginning of the Second
World War he was special liaison
officer to King Leopold of Belgium
until the Belgians surrendered. He
was director of combined operations
from 1940 to 1941.
In 1940 he played a part in an
unsuccessful attempt to repeat the
blocking of Zeebrugge and Ostend.
He disclosed two years ago that such
an attempt was made while he was
in Brussels as liaison officer. Three
blockships were sunk in the canal
at Zeebrugge, but the blocking of
Ostend failed.
Admiral Keyes was one of the
British government’s official repre
sentatives in 1934 at the celebra
tions of the 400th anniversary of
the discovery of Canada. He took
the occasion to visit Washington,
where he renewed a friendship that
had begun in the World War days
with President 'Roosevelt. He later
visited Hollywood.

Re-educating Viennese Youth
Slowed by Lack of Anti-Nazis
uy U1TU ZAliMMfiK,
North American Newspaper Allianca.
VIENNA—The official newspaper
of the party of Dr. Karl Renner,
Austria’s Prime Minister, has print
ed a shocking report on the morals
of Viennese youth. In one school
the 14 to 17 year-old boys of one
class were caught gambling during
recess: the stakes ran to more than
$100 in American money. A conver
sation between two girls was re
ported: "I no longer have to worry
about shoes. I helped to plunder a
shoe store with 11 men and got two
pairs.”
Politically, the picture is no rosier.
Viennese high school teachers tell
me that an overwhelming majority
of their boy students—perhaps as
manv as 80 per cent—are Nazis.
“What can be done about it?” I
asked.
“Only Heaven knows. We shall try
our best. But we are at the point of
despair."
Shortage of Teachers.
Improvement in economic condi
tions and strict enforcement of the
law may better moral conditions.
Political re-education is made more
difficult because there are so few
competent teachers available.
I went back to the high school
from which I was graduated 25 years
ago. It has few teachers now and
fewer books. There is no instructor
in the natural sciences and the Eng
nsn reacner Deggea me to get nun
copies of American newspapers. He
could use them as textbooks, of
which he has none. In French
classes the teacher dictates each
lesson, to be copied by the students
and studied for the next day.
I went to the university, visiting
the language department. The pro
fessor at its head was pensioned six
years ago; he has been brought back
because every other member of the
language faculty was suspected as a
Nazi. Even in the Latin department
only the chairman is left. He has
been fired by the Nazis long ago.
Few Anti-Nazis.
A scholar who is trying to help
reconstruct the Austrian Academy of
Science told me, “If we dismissed
every Nazi party member, there
wouldn’t be a single teacher of mod
em languages left and we would
lose half the members of the acad
emy. You can’t imagine the heights
that fanaticism here reached during
the war.’’
Yet Intellectual Viennese love for
Hitler was not reciprocated. Re
cently found is an order signed by
the Fuehrer, insisting that the uni
versity here be reduced to a level
below those in Berlin and Munich.
The catastrophic shortage of in
structors is made still more serious
by the great number of students.
About 8,000 have enrolled in the uni
versity for this semester.
Of course, some teachers quit
rather than yield to Nazi philosophy
Dummy Thwarts Thief's Effort
To Rob Her of $650 Fur Coat
PHIL ADEL PH I A, (N.A.N.A.)
—The. lady had eyes that couldflT
see, ears that couldn’t hear and a
mouth from which no sound would
ever come. Her immobile features
mirrored an existence that can best
be described as idle.
She was, to put it bluntly, quite
a dummy, from her blond hair to
her well-tumed ankles.
Yet she saved a $650 Persian
lamb coat, which a thief tried to
grab from her shapely 'fame. And
she did it without lifting a hand—
which is the point of the whole
story.
Posing daily in the window of a
South Philadelphia fur shop, her
mannikin grace showed off the coat
to good advantage.
Berly the other morning the thief
smashed the window and gathered
up four silver fox fur neckpieces.
Then he grabbed the lady herself.
Despite her bulk and weight—she
stood on an iron base—he managed
to drag her to the sidewalk, coat and
all. Then he tried to remove the
coat.
To do this, the hands had to be
lifted and twisted off. The thief ap
parently tried, but the lady wouldn’t
let him.
There was a little trick to make
the hands move, but the thief
didn’t know it.
In disgust, he threw her down and
fled, leaving her and the coat to
soak in the heavy downpour.
Miniature White Canes Expand
World for Blind Youngsters j
By the Associated Press.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich.—Minia
ture white canes are giving blind
youngsters under 10 years of age a
new lease on life here.
The project was started in Battle
Creek grade schools recently by a
blind teacher, Miss Jennette Maris,
who believes it is the first time In
the United States that little chil
dren have been provided with white
canes, although teen-agers in Min
nesota are using them.
“I thought we might as well try
it,” she explained, “why should the
little folks have to wait until they
are adults to learn to get around
alone?”
The local Lions Club furnishes
materials for the canes which are
made by boys in a junior high school
shop class.
At the Ann J. Kellogg School. Miss
Maris brought forward 8-year-old
Bobby Parrish, who solemnly re
marked, “Now I can feel buildings.”
Irving Wright, 9, asserted, "It’s
fun to find my way along streets
alone,” while 10-year-old Martha
Hayworth’s biggest accomplishment
seems to be, “Now I can go to the
store for mother by myself."
The blind youngsters are taught
lessons in local geography—where
Michigan fo Seek Return
Of Soldier in Beh Slaying
By the Associated Press.
GRAND HAVEN, Mich., Dec. 26.—
Michigan officers announced today
they would issue a first degree mur
der warrant against Robert F. Smith,
held by the FBI in Chicago, and ask
that he be brought here to be triedt
for the slaying of Roy Gordon Beh,
salesman from Groose Point, Mich.
FBI agents said Smith had ad
mitted shooting Mr. Beh, a neighbor
of Henry Ford n, in Mr. Beh’s car
near Holland, Mich., last Friday, and
had also confessed to the kidnaping
and robbery of Jerome* D. Brenman
at Gary, Ind., December 18.
Howard Fant, Ottawa County
prosecutor, said he and Sheriff Wil
liam M. Boeve would take the war
rant to Chicago tomorrow and file
adetainer against Smith, they also
will confer with Federal authorities
to determine whether Smith should
be tried here on the slaying charge
or stand Federal Court trial for the
kidnaping under the Lindbergh Act
Michigan law provides life im
prisonment as the heaviest sentence
for conviction on the slaying charge
but Smith could be given the death
penalty if found guilty of the kid
naping.
, Smith, a 21-yaer-old soldier, and
formerinmate of the National Train
ing School for Boys at Washington
was arrested in Chicago Saturday.

buses stop, rfames of streets, where
there are stop lights.
To demonstrate the important
lesson of learning to cross the street
Miss Maris marshaled her little
group of six from the school house.
The children were proud to show
they knew where the edge of the
walk was, how to find a corner. Here
and there they stumbled but quickly
righted themselves.
Reaching a street corner, they all
paused and held their canes straight
ahead. An unheeding motorist sped
by. Little Martha said hopefully,
“They don’t know we have canes
yet. When they do, they will stop
for us.”

and others fought back. There’s an
)ld chairman of the Greek depart
ment, for example, who Just a year
ago published a book, "Myths and
3agas of the Ancient Greeks.” In it
le said boldly: "Plato tells us that
;he Creator has endowed men with
iifferent things, some with gold,
>ome with silver, the rest with iron
md brass. They are to be found
n all classes. One must find those
who have gold and sliver In them—
;he first group to make them rulers,
;he second group to assist the rulers.
For an oracle says that the state
will perish when a man of iron
ind brass becomes Its guardian.”
Scholar Honored.
To say this In the fifth year of
Hitler’s war took courage and the
>ld scholar Is honored for It. But
.his same man Is today willing to
:ompromise by permitting "certain
tfazis” to teach again. His main
:oncern Is with the continued in
struction of youth In specialties.
He has found four groups among
lis colleagues—fanatics to whom
Naziism was a religion; romantic
Ireamers whose Ideal was a greater
German Reich; those who yielded
n order not to be disturbed In their
vory towers; finally, opportunists.
None of these can be trusted with
.he task of re-educating youngsters
who know nothing but Naziism,
whatever he may say. Half-measures
won’t do it. As Baldur von Schirach,
Hitler’s youth leader, said when |
le was captured last spring: “I have \
sad the youth for 10 years; now you i

lone an appallingly thorough job. t

Foreign Radio Curb
Confirmed by AFM
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—James C.
Petrlllo, president of the AFL Amer
ican Federation of Musicians, has
banned the broadcast by American
radio stations of musical programs
originating in any foreign countries
except Canada, effective Decem
ber 31.
Mr. PetriUo said the order, which
he said was not new, was being re
invoked “to protect the American
musician against foreign competi
tion."
Before the war, he said, there was
an “understanding” between the
APM and domestic radio stations
that the broadcast of foreign mu
sical programs would be halted, but
he added the AFM "waived its
objections” to network musical
broadcasts emanating from foreign
countries during the war.
Mr. Petrillo said the order Was
issued because “through interna
tional short wave radio a foreign
musician could displace an Amer
ican’s services without entering the
United States.”
Religious broadcasts, such as the
annual Christmas and Easter pro
grams from the Vatican and Jeru
salem, and special overseas programs
by the Army and Navy, will not be
banned, he said.

Serving
a Star Route
Helps to
«
Bring Out the
Best in a Boy!
EARNING extra money, learning basic lessons
about business, and gaining valuable experi
ence, are not the only benefits a boy derives from
being an Evening and Sunday Star carrier-salesman.
This popular spare-time task for teen-age lads has
a definite character-building value, as well.
It helps to bring out the best in a young fellow.
Trains him to be alert, diligent and business-like!
Teaches him to be honest, punctual and reliable in
all his dealings! Encourages him to be neat, cour
teous and thrifty! Helps him develop good health,
good habits and the qualities which make for high
type American manhood!
That is why boys who really apply themselves to i
their newspaper routes, almost invariably step ahead
of other lads, in school, college and business careery^
A Star Route teaches a boy to be a man!
