JUMPING MEN-It's quite a trick to leap from a plane and land right side up, so men of the 501st Parachute Battalion are rocciv- ing training, at Fort Benning, Ga., in how to do it. Preliminary practico, simulating actual jumping, is on the ground. Later they go up in planes to leap. Top panel shows a quintet, wearing special helmets.

Oil Magnate Denies Backing For U.S. Appeasement Group
Nation-wide notoriety has been aroused by the activities of the American appeasement group called the "No Foreign War Committee," one of the founders of which is reported to be Colonel Charles E. Lindbergh, who has himself been severely criticised by a large majority of his countrymen for his pro-Nazi statements and his opposition towards American aid for Britain and the democracies.
The chairman of the Committee is Verne Marshall, a native of Lown and editor of the "Cedar Rapids Gazette," and winner of a Pulitzer Prize for journalism. Marshall's name and that of his Committee has frequently been linked with William Rhodes Davis, international oil operator, who was reported to have brought Nazi peace proposals to the United States.

Reporting the interview given to the press, the New York newspaper "PM" writes:- William Rhodes Davis, inter- national oil operator, tossed Verne Marshall a sizzling hota minn not only willing but anxious Mr Davis gave the impression of potato to-day.
