S o HOT LAVA Hibokhibok—\;olcano onI Tiny Island Erupting for First Time Since 1871 MANILA, Sept. 4. — (# — Thirty thousand frightened natives were rescued today from the sulphurous smoke, ashes and lava of roaring Hibokhibok Volcano on tiny Cami- guin Island. Ten thousand more huddled in fear of the mighty volcano which began erupting Sept. 1 for the first time since 1871 when it tore a gap- ing hole in the mile-high mountain peak. A steady stream of hot lava flow- ed down the mountain but so far only one man has been caught in it and he escaped with his life. ‘There are no reports of any Am- erican personnel in the area, ex- cept one unidentified American vol- cano expert who with Filipino ex- |l jiory will continue at the pres- | 1) but no serlous flooding was perts risked climbing the peak today to find that the volcano had opened ia new crater about a mile from the plted old one.

Noises were audible due to land- slides in thé vicinity of the spew- g mountain top. No new earth emors have been recorded in the past few hours. Barlier the roaring olcano caused tremors to be felt as much as 85 miles away. A thick shower of ash fell on evacuated Mambajao town through- out the day. The town was made a restricted area by the constabulary. R o S CONSTRUCTION MAN, ACTIVE IN ALASKA! DIES IN SEATTLE SEATTLE, Sept. 4. — (A — Ivor Kriken, 63, project manager for the Drake Puget Sound.

Heretofore, all parcel post pack- ages sent from one point in the Territory to another have been charged at the maximum eight- 20ne rate. Under the new system, the ,distances between points will de- termine the rate. A department spokesman said that new, separately prepared rate lists are being mailed today to jeach of the 225 postofiices in the | Territory. Bartlett's aide gave these twoj examples of how the new rates! will operate: The cost of sending a 20-pound package from Anchorage to Fair- banks will be 48 cents instead of the present $2.31, the maximum s-l |zone charge. , The rate for the same weight | between Anchorage and Juneau will be 79 cents, instead of $2.31.

First blood in the coast-wide strike, which began Thursday, was drawn yesterday at Wilmington, a port for the Los Angeles area. There, 150 AFL sailors, not bound by the CIO strike call, scuffled with about the same number of CIO pickets over the unloading of a lumber ship from Oregon. Heads were bloodied and knuckles bruis- ed in the melee. Two men, including a police officer, were hospitalized. ‘Ten i others, all AFL seamen, were giv- en first afd treatment at emer- gency hospital.

' Next Move Altogether some 12,000 long- shoremen and warehousemen and 16,000 seafarers were idle and 120 ships were tied up in ports from i Canada to Mexico.
