ARMED SHIP BOMBED: THAI-FRENCH FURY
Indo-China and Thailand edged slightly closer towards war on Sunday when the Hanoi uuthorities reported a fierce alr þattle above the Mekong River village of Thakek, while French forces carried out retaliatory measures against Thailand. The Thai Premler declared that the Thai Air Force was fully prepared to carry out large-scale bombing of Cambodia and Laos.
Hanol reports declare that Thailand, planes attacked a French armed vessel in the Gulf of Thailand but none of the bombs dropped hit the ship. The French replied with muchine- gun fire and hit one of the attacking planes.
Commenting on the new U.S.5100,000,000 loan to China the Washington Post calls the step President Roosevelt's first major International move since his re-election. The same journal believes the action is expected not only to strengthen the Chinese resistance but also to encourage continued Soviet ald to Chiang Kai-shek.
Declaring that generosity displayed in the negotiations with the Occidental colonies may react to the detriment of Japan because leniency is exceeded, the Nichi Nichi Shimbun editorially demands the speeding up of trade conversations with Indo-China and the Netherlands East Indies,
Chungking claims that Chinese troops have smashed the Japanese offensive along a 150-mile front in north Hupeh enusing the death of over 12,658 Japanese.
MARIA MARTEN'S GRAVE FOR SALE
Maria Marten's gravestone is about to change hands- though its new owner won't even know where it is unless one (of the villagers points it out to him.
Maria Murten's grave is in the tiny churchyard of Polstend, in the heart of rural Suffolk. And the churchyard and church are both included in one of Britain's oldest estates, which is to be sold by auction. -Maria-was-foully done to: death in the notorious Red Barn more than 100 years ago.
They hanged a local farmer for the deed. If it had not been for Maria's mother, who lived on to a rare old age-one or two of the villagers still remember her -the truth might never have come out.
Picturesque-Cottage
Maria Marten's cottage stands that- cited, picturesque and unchanged.
The Red Barn was pulled down many years ago.
Mr. A. C. G. Lloyd, who is selling the estate, takes this Maria Marten business in good part.
"But the family has been grossly belled," he said.
"The story has been twisted to But the mother dreamt three nights make It-appear that it was the wicked running of her daughter lying deaduire, one of my ancestors, who so in that grim old barn, and when they-used the mole-cutcher's daughter. "Actually a tenant' farmer was the came to dig-well, there she was. [culprit."
