burning ll long time before it was discovered. in one part of the ship I saw a row of cabins blazing fur- iously. They were destroyed in s matter of minutes."

Twenty-five fitters and laborers working in the enigne-room dash- ed for safety when the fire was discovered. The speed at which the flames spread was amazing. Two of them were blinded by smoke and lost their way. They were guided out of the ship by an- other fitter.

Somerset .MaughaIi 80, Offers Advice To Authors

By Phil Clarke LONDON, Jan. 25 - (CF) - somerset Maugham enters his 80th year Mondsy with this warning to modern writers: Don't carry frank-

Y

"I think it's a. good thing that present-day authors can write it much more freedom than I had a quarter of s century ago." the Eng- lish writer said in a pre-birthday interview here. "But if frankness of expresion gou too far there may be a popular revulsion against it,"

Maugham finds that morality in writing generally has changed greatly in the last few decades. To illustrate this change, he recalled that "In the First World War. the English Tommies' favorite swear- word was 'hloody.' It was awful then but it's not so bad today."

As for movies, Maugham thinks there's still too much censorship although this situation is slowly getting better.

"I can't speak for television," he added: "I've never seen it."

Maugham offered these other pointers to writers struggling to hit the top:

"Travel. don't wait for experience to come to you. Go out and search for it.

"Read ii lot. but read what you fancy and not what you feel you must. Reading as a duty doesn't do anyone any good,

"Work hard and have infinite ps- tience-mostly with yourself,
