the extension of coastal nations’

health matters beyond the tradi

But France insists on maintain
ing the three-mile limit for full
sovereignty, Simmonet told re

Painting That Goes
Begging For $1.40 Is
Auctioned For $5,860
LONDON, W) — A painting
which a junk dealer recently de
clined to buy for 10 shillings
($1.40) brought 2,100 pounds
($5,860) at an auction yesterday.
The painting, “The Trapper’s
Return,” was by Cornelius Krieg
hoff, a 19th century Canadian
artist.
It was owned by Mrs. Martha
Davies, a 76-year-old widow. A
daughter, now dead, gave it to
her 30 years ago.
Not long ago Mrs. Davies tried
to sell the picture to a junk deal
er. But he only offered 5 shillings
(70 cents) and she held out for 10.
Then her son-in-law, Leonard
Vyvyan, a plumber, saw in the
Daily Express a photograph of a
Krieghoff painting — “Merry
making”—for which the Express
publisher, Lord Beaverbrook, had
paid 8,250 pounds ($25,900).
The auction was arranged after
art experts were consulted by
Vyvyan. •

Russians Say Moon Should
Be Internationally Controlled
LONDON, UP)—The Soviet army
newspaper Red Star said today
the moon should be put under
international control to prevent
its use “by reactionary capitalist
forces for aggressive purposes.”
The article, broadcast in Eng
lish by Moscow radio, urged this
precaution on grounds that de
velopments in space travel would
soon place the moon and minor
asteroids within man’s reach.
“The moon,” it warned, “is in
a position dominating the whole
of the earth.”
