Following Faint Ray Of Hope Of Enter- ing Holy Land. _

(By The Associated Press) CONSTANZA, R/umanla, Aug. 11 —Nee.rly 1.000 Jewish refugees from dismembered Caecho-Slovakia boarded two Greek steamshlps to- day in an attempt to run Great Britain's blockade into Palestine.

Men, women and children who had scraped togetherlthe required "3150 for postage struggled aboard the vessels for a. voyage of 1.000 miles with no guaranteed landing

places.

(The British Government an- nounced on Jiu-re 12 that no Jew- ish immigration quota for Pales- tine would be typed for six

months.

(Colonial secretary Malcolm Mac- Donald charged then that “there had been an organized attempt to defeat the proper regulations of immigration by a. traffic in illegal immig=rantrs" and he said the gov- ernment was “determined to pre- vent this attempt to defeat the law of Palestine.'')

They represented only a small part. of the refugees in the steady stream pouring into this ‘Black Sea port, from central and eastern Er-v-cgoeari count-rles.

Despite the harclehips involved they voiced the preference of fol- lowing a faint rev of hope of en- tering t-lo-2 Hclv Iond rather than wivvwicw-lng unwanted in Europe.

SALZBURG, Germany, Aug. 11 —The Foreign Ministers of Ger- many and Italy spent the after- noon today examining the inter- national sltuation in the opening of a three-day conference. Joachim Von R.lbben- Graieazrw Ciano,

uded themselves in Fuschl Castle. situated in the mountains 15 miles south of Salzburg.

A midnight communique issued in Berlin stated that the conver- sations would be continued tomor- TOW.

It was reported here that the second day's program would in- clude a noon visit by Claim and Von Ribbentrop to Pu:-hrer Hitler at nearby Berch aden.

Both Foreign nisiers were said to be reluctant to discuss pro- gress of the talks before the Fuehrer was informed of the dis- cusslons.

The communique said:-—

"After lengthy discussions the German Foreign Minister Von R.i-bbenti-op and the Italian For-

‘eign Minister Ciano concluded the

first day of their meeting with a little Journey from Castle Fusehl to St. Wolfgang.

“After eating at the Inn Wels- sen Ecewl, the Foreign Ministers enjoyed -3. few hours of pleasant realaxation at a festival which took place at st. Wolfgang.

“Von Rllbb€ni»T0]) then ax‘o0mp- anied Ciano to the hotel Oester- reichischer Hot in Salzburg. '

“The discussions will be con- tinued tomorrow."

Informed quarters said the talks would proceed again tomorrow at Fusohl Castle and perhaps later a; nearby Berehtesgadcn with Retails- fuehrer Hitler.

An authoritative source said the foreign ministers were unattend- ed during their session and there was no immediate indication from

either official or semi-official sources on their pr ess. Observers believed. oweve-r. that

the question of the Free City of Danzig: held the prime place on the agenda. It had been expected that the Italian would counsel caution upon the Nazis. who de- mand that the Free city he re- turned in Gerrnaziy.

Another topic believed on the agen-in was the question of Japa- nm adherence to the Rome-Ber. lin military pact. some diplomatic circles said they believed success- ful diacussions in'thi.-_ direction might pave the way for ceremonial signing of a pact by Japan at the Nazi nartv congress next month in Nuremberg.

GiganticB1ackout Successfully C o m- pleted—13 F l i e r s Killed.

LONDON, Aug. 11 --(OP)—'1he air ministry announced tonight that London was saved from "des- tructlon" as a result of the gigantic blackout early this morning which darkcned more than half of Eng- land. '

The announcement rounded nu: Great Britain's three-day manoeu- vres, the most extensive of their kind ever attempted in peacetime, during which a spectacular war was waged between forces of "East- land and "Westland". For days to come British military authorities will weigh the results of these war exercises, attempting to close up any gaps they revealed, and furth- er strengthen ‘the country‘s de- fences.

13 Killed

The final phase of the defence tests was marred today by two Royal Air Force accidents in which four military fliers were killed, I fifth seriously injured and three planes destroyed. This brought to 13 the number of filers killed in the exercises, which opened Tues- day night.

Throughout the blackout, which covered 28 counties with a with-. lation of about~'3fl.!)l)i7,000, raiding’ warplanes of the “Eastla.nd" for- ces attempted to bomb strategic centres.

Efficient action by ground ob- servation crews, anti-aircraft bat- teries and defending tight/er squadrons involving 80,000 air de- fence soldiers, hampered the at.- tackers. The blackout period last- cd from midnight to 4 A.M. everywhere except in London. where it started half an hour lat-‘ er ,

The air ministry announcement said: _ .

"As was anticipated, enemy lor- mations began to converge on the capital from the west and south between 4:30 and 2 AM. Many invaders were engaged by tight- ers in the scarchllght, zone around London and turned away south-

By LOUIS P. LOCHNER Associated Press Foreign Stall‘ BERLIN. Aug. 11-I-Ilgh govern-

H AV E , TN 0 EXTRA WEEKS

S e a s _o 11 Extended In Marrtimes And B. C. To 2 And A H alf Months.

OTTAWA. Aus. 11 —(CP)— Hunters in British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces will have Km extra two weeks this year in which to shoot ducks and gcese, the Department of Mines and Re. sources announced today. In those two areas the season will be two and a half months but will remain at two months elsewhere in the Dominion. The closed season on brant on the Atlantic coast cun- tinues.

The migratory bird regulations iiiblllylng during the 1939 hunting season will follow in general the principles adopted in 1936 when the maximum two months season. lower bag limits and other :5. st-rlctlons, including prohibition of baiting and live decoys, were :- dopted to meet the serious deplet- ion of waterfowl due to drought on the Prairies and to overshooting.

In the extreme eastern and western parts of Canada where droL\'ht; has not had destructive effect on the waterfowl supply and where recovery has been better, the department considered it pos- sible to lengthen the hunting sea- son for ducks and geese.

Orpen seasons in the Mai-itimes. divided by provinces, follow:

Nova scotla. Yar-mouth. Dlgby, Annapolis, shelburne, Queens, Lun- enburg. Richmond and pape Bra‘.-.

on Counties, ducks (except elder) and geese (except brant), Nov. 1 to Jan. 15. Open season for elder ducks there will be Nov. 1 to Dec. 31. In Kings. Hants, Colcbester, Plctou, Antigorilsh, Guysboro. Halifax, Inverness and Victoria Counties, Oct. 1 to Dec. 15. Cum- berland County, Sept. 15 to Nov. 30 The elder duck season there will be Oct. 15 to Dec. 15.

New York Fifi? Seeks To ‘Realize Boyhood Dreams In Following Lindberg’s Trail.

. S'l‘. I’lt5TER’S, N. S., Aug. 11-—Three years of plan- fllllll. ln-‘plred by a trans-Atlantic flight 12 years ago were fulfilled today when 23-year-old Alex Loeb and Dick Decker, Z1, jockeyed their light monopl ne off a nearby beach and pointed its stubby nose townr Eire in a sur- prise attempt at a non-stop ocean crossing.

Although airport officials suspected a trans-Atlantic flight was their intention, none knew definitely what they planned. Absolute secrecy surrounded their preparations until they were in the air.

The five-passenger plane was similar to that which Col. Charles Lindberg flew from New York to Paris in l927—and the connection was deeper than that. Lueb was only 11 when Lindberg's flight made him America's sky- man hero—but that day he resolved some day to fly ac- rross the Atlantic.
