J. t.ft A pretty mother, her parachute fall ing to open, plunged J. 500 feet to her death (Sunday In an Initiation for a parachutwg club formed by her husband. It was a scent of contusion and near-hysteria as 24-ycnr-old Mrs. Dorothy Berard of Ilurrlnon tum bled from the small plane, clawed desperately at Uie parachute and finally fed In a cabbage patch, "I killed her, I killed her." sobbed her grlef-.itrlcken husband, Josrpli, who organized the Bay Divers Club, a parachutlng-for-fun (roup. He collapsed when aha fell. About 700 spectators at the Ini tiation exercises at Budd Lake air port ahrlcked and shouted for the woman to null the rlpcord as she hurtled to the ground. Many wom en fainted. Just before Mrs. Berard, mother of a four-month-old daughter, went tip, her husband considered refus ing to let her make the Jump be cause of a aerlea of minor mishaps , earlier. ' But she reassured him by say lng, "don't worry, honey, I'll be all right." v Berard Is an ex-paratroopcr with 14 Jumps to his credit, He made the first Jump of the day and suffered bruises about the . head. A few minutes later, a small 1 plane used by other club members , crashed, but no one was hurt, i Then Mrs. Sarah Haselett of 1 Union Jumped and was knocked unconscious when she hit her head ' while landing.

Bvalbard held little Interest for anyone until around 1870, when Nor way, Bwedert and Russia began to put forth claims to It. There was several International conferences aimed at aetlllng ownership, but nothing was accomplished until af ter World War 1. Then title was bestowed on Norway. An odd feature of the treaty was that subjects of all the powers sinn ing 11 were given equal rights with Norwegians In the Islands. The sig natory powers were Great Britain and Its dominions, France, Italy, the U.S.. Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden Germany and Russia signed later. So far the Russians are the only ones to exercise the rights grant ed them under Uie treaty. Dr. Lawrence M. -8ommers, as sistant professor of geogruphy at Michigan Slstc College, In an ar ticle In the msgaune Scleutltlc Monthly ssys there are two rea sons lor Russian Interest. One Soviet Interest, says Dr., Sonimcrn, Is coal, which ts also mined by the Norwegians. The Russians ship 100. 000 to 135,0110 tons a year back to Russia according to Norwegian reports. This seems trifling In view of Russia'a domestic coal production of 300 to 3-5 million tons a year. Dr. Sommera suggests a tar more Important Interest In Svalbard'a lo cation on the Arctic air route from east to west. "Soviet Interest In the area," he writes In Scientific Monthly, "Is evidenced by several unsuccessful attempts to slun a Joint defense pact Willi Norway. Bases on Bval bard would lessen the Arctic air route distance between Sverdlovsk In the Ural mounalns and Chicago, for example, by one fourth." Government aviation experts In Washington say they know of no place In the mountainous Islands suitable for air bases. There Is not so much as a landing strip there now. There Is air mall service, but the mall la dropped by parachute. Dr. SomnWs says, however, that there are limited but sufficient flat areas on the west and north coast of Uie group. He says these plains are generally marshy but believes this difficulty can be solved by modern engineering methods. Specifically, Dr. Sommera says, People DO TOO read small space ads -you are! BISCUITS IN Watch ifnui 111 1 there ts space around the town of Ny-Aalesund. where one of the Nor wegian coal mine Is located, and on the flat valley Doors around Longyearbyen. another Norwegian mine site, other possibilities, he says, are Hopen Island, to the Southeast of the main group and Molten Island, off the northern shore of Vest Spitsbergen, the Prin cipal island ot uie group. The International treaty cover ing Bvalbard prohibits anv kind military Installation. Both Russia and Norway now operate radio sta tions there, and Norway has twi weather stations. Coal production on Bvalbard shut down during the war, when the Germans occupied the Islands. The Germans made little known effort to get coal back home but burned niOAt of the mining and shipping installations and many other build- Uigs. . By IMA the Russians had turned nearly 3.500 persons to Svulbard. about twice as many as the Norwegians. Tnere Is a Rus sian consul at Pyramioen. Dr. Bom mera says relations between the are Russians and Norwegians friendly. Norway gels about 400,000 tons of coal a year from Svalbard, about which are Imported.

He has been ambushed by the Fdur 'Children wagon. He told arresting officers he was going to church. Frank C.

A few moments later. Page aald. the carpenter threw a second ob ject Into the yard, then ran to the yard and killed the family dog with a butcher knife. The bodies of two of the children were found nearby. Page and Jim King, another neighbor, called the sheriff. They said Bwearson emerged from the house a short time later, climbed. Into his car and started for Bridge port, three miles up the Columbia River. Prothero. alerted by the sheriff, stopped the Bwearson car- about a mile south of town. Bwearson sub mitted to arrest without a struggle, crawled Into the police car and was taken first to the Bridgeport hospital and then to the city Jail. Prothero said Bwearson was treated at the hospital for a bullet wound in the head, a knife wound In the chest and a knife wound in the throat. The chief said Swearson told him he had tried to shoot himself with the last shell In the gun and when that didn't work "I tried to cut my throat. Then I put the knife against my chest and tried to fall on it on the floor. Then I decided to go to church. The 8 wear sons came here 18 months ago from Towner, N.

This deadly fighter haa a special trick he uses when It la ab solutely vital that he get up-to-date Information. He leaves bla own linea at dusk, goes deep in side the enemy positions, finds some natural camouflage and huga the earth as day breaks. There he lies, in the blazing sun, all through the daylight hours watching enemy dispositions. Aa the second night begins he usually moves forward in an at tempt to take a prisoner or wreck some installation. Thlrty-aix hours later he straggles back to his own line. On such trips he takes with him one cup of water and three candy bars. A friend says, "give Lewis three candy bara and a sub-machine gun and he'll Invade Hell." His com mander, Lt. Col. Gerald Russell of Ceorglaville, R. I., reports, "the only limit to Lewis' courage Is my order that he cant go more than three miles Inland. He's In credible." Lewis is no dead-end killer. He comes from a good family. Is mar ried and haa three kids. He speaks softly but enjoys a good bust with the boys. When you get to know him he has a rich Irish humor.
