Showing no i'll effects from yester-
days narrowing experience OF escap-
ing from the little single-seater nght'
ing plane over Hams Point, when the
wings and tail surfaces carried away,
Lieut.. stephen A. Mcclellan, Marine
Corps Reserves, was flying at College
Park Md, today on some expert.
mental work for the Department OF
Commences aeronautics branch. NC
Clellan believes he is the first man
to escape from a plane travelling at
such a high rate of speed.
Lieut.. Mcclellan, after thinking
over his narrow escape from death
yesterday while lying under stack
of blankets at the Naval, Air Station
at Anacostia, and after Sleeping" on
the adventure last night, figured out
TODAY that 2 seconds after the wings
stripped clear Of the fuselage he was
free of the ship and seconds later
it plunged into the water near Hams
Point.
Parachute on Back.
The young pilot declared he owes
his life to a back.type parachute and
he firmly believes that had he used
the conventional seat-type, his back
would have been broken or injured
to such an extent he would have been
unable to free himself from the blast
of air that struck him as he raised
out of the cockpit.
Before the fight, Mcclellan decided
against the seat type and today he
said he hopes his experience would
be of benefit to pilots of fast-fying
pursuit planes, so that they would
adanbon the cushion type. Had he
succeeded in bucking the wind. Nc
Clellan said, it is doubtful if the seat
type chute could have chung to his
body, as the force which threw him
away from the top edge of the cock
pit undoubtedly would have torn the
pack loose.
The back.type was reinforced with

strength to fight against the force of
the wind. The pilot said his first
knowledge of the planes collapse
came with a mighty bang" and in
stantly everything was carried away.
He ducked in the cockpit, fearing a
wing would strike his head, and found
himself in darkness, as the wing had
cut off the light.
With one hand he pushed with all
his strength and moved the wing away
and then he encountered his greatest
fear, he said. That was whether upon
rising upright in the cockpit he would
be able to stand against the wind.
With all the force at his command
he raised himself to an angie of
about as degrees with the plane and
as the wind struck his face it stretch
ed the skin back almost to the break
ing point His goggles disappeared
the moment his head appeared above
the windshield. Holding on with both
hands, he gave himself a push back
ward and was carried along the top
of the fuselage and free of the ship.
All this happened, Mcclellan figures,
in 2 seconds.
Fabric Flying About.
The sky was full of fabric, splinters
and wing parts and the fuselage on
it's wild plunge to the water, was
stripped of it's covering. He cart
wheeled backwards, fell on his side
and then started turning forward.
With one hand on the parachute ring,
he waited until his heels met the hori-
zon and then gave it a jerk. The
chute opened with such little force
that he for a moment thought 1t was
split. Looking up he saw the white
silk unfurled and then began his
descent.
Just before he struck the water he
slipped out of the harness and
dropped into the shallow surface.
The fact that he was not in deep
water relieved the pilot almost as
much as his battle to extricate him
self from the plane. Had he been

Two mules in an entry that was
flooded with 16 feet of water were

others followed the miners to the
level on which the men took refuge
until they escaped to the surface.
The men, knowing what it means
to be imprisoned underground,

Refusal to Consider Albanian

TIRANA, Albania, April ia dec
Iaration by Premier Mussolini of Italy
that direct negotiations between Italy
and Jugoslavia must not touch on
the Tirana pact has surprised and
puzzled official circles here. When
the declaration was discussed in these
circles today the remark was made
that it was difficult to see how the
two countries could usefully talk over
their relations without touching on
an incident that really affected them.
At the foreign Office it was said
that a campaign had again broken
out in the Italian press tending to
show that Jugoslayia was mobiliZing
and arming.

crossed Jugoslavia from south to
north early in the week and then
visited Belgrade and its environs, but
at no place was he able to observe
evidences of mobilization. In garri-
son towns there was the usual mill
tary activity.

troops were being massed on the AL
