Paris, Aug. 11.
Glant French cargo aircraft are maintaining a ceaseless airlift across the Sahara this summer to deliver jeeps, bulldozers and oil derricks to French prospectors before winter rains make the runways of the sunbaked oasis unserviceable.

PERFORMANCES
Bonn, Aug. 11. The annual Richard Wagner festival, one of the great international annual musical events, which is now under way at Bayreuth, promises to be one of the most successful ever staged in this small Bavarian town.

In addition to "The Flying Dutchman," the festival will include "Tannhauser," "Parsifal," and the. four which make up the "Ring" cycle- "Rheingold," "Die Walkure," "Siegfried" and. "Gotterdammerung.".
