ARE ENGAGED IN WAR DANCE Forbidden Sun Dance Con tinues Until Tonight LITTLE EAGLE, Aug.

8 A rising sun called back to the battle dance today the once fierce Sioux Indians to chant anew for triumph of their warriors at the side of the white man against the Axis ene mies. From their beds of sage within a ceremonial arena, the braves arose to the sun's first burst across the endless prairie to resume the battle dance they began as the sun dipped low in the heavens Friday. In the brown warpaint of their native clays, bodies naked except for the ancient breechcloths, they wtisted in their age-old war dance about the arena while old chiefs, led by the great Henry One Bull, looked on approvingly. This 97-year-old Henry One Bull recalled, was the first battle dance in 52 years the first since days when the savage Sioux danced it to call himself and his tribesmen to war against the same white man at whose side he now fights. Now the dance.

One Bull related through an interpreter, was to send the spirits of war marching at the side of the 22 Standing Rock Sioux of this community who are wearing the uniform of the American Army. Altogether, he related, 200 tribes men from his reservation are in the service and tribal leaders mated that 1,800 more Sioux from other reservations are training to fight the Axis. Time had made its mark on the dance. Now, in the ceremonial ar ena, a bough-enclosed ring, hung a flag with 22 service stars on it one for each Standing Rock Sioux in the armed servicts. This time, as they danced, the braves fore bore the tortures of the old dance the slashing of chests, the agonies of rawhide thongs.

Strange it must have been to the old chiefs. One Bull, on whose body are scars of battle suffered even before the great battle of Little Big Horn Custer's last stand. As the braves danced on through the day, they also fasted. Not until Sunday noon, after 48 hours, will they eat again. APPROPRIATE BIO SUM FOR SECRET WEAPON WASHINGTON, Aug.

Snell, a Minnesotan, was rescued from the English channel after a 90-mile flight across water in a burning RAP Spitfire which ended when he bailed out, the air ministry news service reported today. Snell had been attacking shipping off the French coast with other RAF fighter pilots when an anti-aircraft shell explosion bounced his plane on the water.

Snell pulled up quickly and, with machinegun fire, killed the German gunner firing at his flight commander, but the wing of his plane hit a ship's mast Anti-aircraft fire put holes in the hood, wings, fuselage and gasoline tanks of his plane and Snell headed for home. His engine caught fire four times, but each time he extinguished the flames by side-slip ping. With his own clothing soaked with gasoline, he bailed out when the engine caught fire for the fifth time. He came down close to the English coast and was picked up by a fishing boat 20 minutes later.
