By Julius C. Edelstein
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. "HE UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN AND OTHER NATIONS SPARRING FOR CONTROL OF TRANS-PACIFIC AIRWAYS ARE CONTEMPLATING NEW STEPS TO ESTABLISH POSSESSION OF "KEY" ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH AND WEST PACIFIC. THE UNITED PRESS LEARNED IN AUTHORITATIVE QUARTERS HERE. This country recently ran up the American flag over Canton and Enderbury, two important and strategic Pacific islands whose title had been in dispute with Great Britain and it is now reported that Britain, Germany and Japan have interested themselves in establishing claim to other potential air-bases on the route to the rich markets of the Far East, Dutch Indies, Australia and New Zealand.
American officials, scanning the Pacific for additional landing lagoons and runways, have an anxious eye on several islands, now mere specks of uninhabited coral, which might go a long way toward confirming United States control of the trans-pacific skylance.

There have been persistent reports, despite a recent official denial from Berlin, that Reichsfuhrer Adolf Hitler has in mind a deal with Japan to de- mand the return of West Samoa for use as an air base in trans-Paciile flights.
The most suitable bases in a Ger- man-Japanese trans-Pacifle air route would be the Japanese mandated Marshall and Caroline islands to West Samoa, to Easter Island (owned by Chile) to South America.-United Press.

He instructed that on her death half the estate should go to various Charities and the other half to persons who were of his blood and next of in to him."
Dame Edith Walker died last October and since then Inquiries have been in progress among Walkers in all parts of the world to see if they are entitled to share in the estate.
Now only two months are left for claims to be proved, says the Dally
Herald.
Revelations of bad conditions in exploitation of sallors, degradation of young giris, and the spread of discase were made recently by Mr. Leonard Bowden, of the National Union of Seiman.

They also confiscated all the ready money in the apartment and searched Dr. Freud's printing plant.
A recent survey proved that 88 per cent. of the venereal discase In Cardiff came from abroad, and mure than 50 per cent, of the cases in the mining valleys were traced to Car- dir.
