BY the Associated Press.
ROME, December s.-Under Premier
Mllssolinis amnesty for political pris-
oners, 1852 persons. including 1,2l7
women, have been liberated, 1t was
announced yesterday.
Probably several others will be freed
when formalities have been completed,
it was understood The truce affected
more than half of those who were de-
tanned on or destined to be sent to
prison islands where the anti-Fascists
have been held.
After the Council Of Ministers on No
vember approved the Premier's am
nesty, an official conlmunique called 1t
"the largest amnesty ever granted IN
Italy" The truce, which was made In
connection with the Fascist decennial,
was not considered to be applicable to
anti-Fascists living abroad, such as for
mer Premier Nitti, who lives in Paris.
Premier Mussolini promised the am
nesty five years ago and again on Oc-

The Unsung Heroes of Industry

THIS hero business Is queer sort Of thing.
Some men respond to the supreme test
before a cheering throng Others with the
confidence Of past performances to lend
them courage and assurance drive through
to their goal. Still others with the support
and encouragement of companions backing
them up make the grade.
Now and then you have an epic triumph in
sport as when Ted Coy rips the Tiger line
to tatters and snatches victory in the last
moments of game seemingly hopelessly lost.
Or you have q Sam Rice, diving head fore
most into field box to clutch In one last
desperate grab a ball ticketed for home run
and thereby, while standing on his head among
the raving fans, saving world series.
Those things are the sort that thrill the

aggerate a bit but nevertheless there 1t IS.
man with courage has come through. A
new hero has been crowned or a recognized
performer has had new laurel wreath added
to the pile he has accumulated in the past.
This struggle with a personal foe. whether
in sport or in war, is always spectacular. The
zest of combat lends strength and courage.
The cheers of the onlookers or the strength
derived from his companions presence raises
man who has the right stuff in him to meet
his test. The heroes of this type are known.
You can tell of a list of them ofhand and
recall their exploits. Their praises have been
sung, and rightly so, until their names are
honored throughout the land.
These heroes, great as they are, do not cover
the whole field Of heroism, however. Your
dictionary will tell you that hero Is also one
who shows great fortitude under trying circum-
stances. That definition in itself doesn't have
exactly thrilling sound. It is hard to picture
a crowd standing around cheering In exaltation
over the courage Of man who undergoes
torturing pain without complaint hour after
hour while at the same time, throwing his
own suffering aside, he saves the Life Of
companion.
The presence Of onlookers to speak WORD
of encouragement might help in circumstances
such as those But consider the courage Of a
man who goes through hours Of agony IN the
pitch dark, uncertain when or If his life will
be saved and yet rising above his own suffer-
ing to save the life of another who would
probably die without the aid he is able TO
give him.
That may seem exaggerated, but consider
some of the cases which won the awards OF the
Joseph A Holmes Safety Association. named
Evening star., 1932-04-03

after the first director of the United States
Bureau of Mines and now closely allied with
the bureau This association annually gives
its medals and diplomas to those who meet the
test in the various mineral industries of the
country.
There was 9ast year for instance, the time
the issue was put up to Glen Stevenson, coal
miner in Utah. Stevenson and three compan-
ions were caught in a gallery of the mine
when a section of the roof fell in on them.
Stevenson was pinned down with crushing
weight on his legs, weight which each
ensuing minute made more painful. For two
hours he lay that way in excruciating agony,
but during most of that time his mind was
centered on one of his companions, Tally Evans,
who would have died if he had been unattended.
After the first shock of the accident had
passed Stevenson called to his companion.
Evans, nearby. answered. Out of his agony,
he told Stevenson that his hand had been
sheared of by the falling roof. The gushing
away of his lifeblood would have meant death
in a short time if Stevenson had been unable to
transcend his own suffering and come to the
aid of Evans. That come" however, is mis-
leading for Stevenson could not move from
where his legs were pinned down. Evans.
however, made his way over to Stevenson and
the latter recalling the first aid instruction
he had received, applied the necessary pressure
at the proper points and stopped the bleeding
from Evans arm. For nearly two hours ne
fought off the faintness his own pain brought
in order to keep that vital pressure applied
and when rescuers finally reached them they
were in time to save the lives of both of the
men. That is "fortftude under trying circum
stances"
Take another case of underground heroism,
that involving the rescue of q Kentucky coal
miner named Napier who, like the foregoing
pair, was caught by the fall of roof material.
The collapse of the section which pinned
Napier down was the beginning of a collapse
over wide area, a collapse which the horri-
hed men IN the gallery could actually see in
progress.
Prudence called for fight, but meant the
death Of Napier, and the thought of abandoning
companion apparently never occurred to
Jesse Engle and Henry Couch, two other min
ers. These two sped under the slowly settling
rock and worked frantically until they had
freed Napier and carried him TO safety. 1t
takes courage to do things like that, to save
q mans life while crushing weight slowly
presses downward ready to trap the men and
slowly squeeze them into oblivion.
Gases such as these involve the ursung
heroes of industry. Theirs Is the type Of hero
ism which makes America great for they are
