D. c. Man Tells of Fighting Foot.Long Lizards
As He Lay Helpless in Mexico after Air Crash

Anybody wanting to trade harrow
ing experiences should swap stories
with Paul w. Murphy before Dragging.
In brief. here's what Mr.. Murphy
went through: Crashed in . plane 5000
feet above = Mexican jungle; lay for
six hours weakly fighting of an on
rush Of blood-bent lizards; rode across
mountains slung over burro when he
thought both hips were broken, and
then lived through an earthquake
while convalescing.
II that's not enough, look . little
more closely ut the diary Of the as
year Old Pan-American Union staff
member, who finished seven weeks
promotion job in Mexico with .
sightseeing air ride.
At $50 am. June 3, Mr.. Murphy,
well known amateur actor who lives
ct 424 Crittsnden street NV. took
o1f from Ocupulco, in Southern Mex
leo, for I six-hour trip to Oaxaca City.
The ahip was piloted by . Mexican
aviator and carried three, other pas
sengers, al Mexicans.
Four hours later they were flying
over the clouds and still climbing to
avoid Jagged peaks. At 10,6o0 feet
the engine "conked out" and they lost
1900 feet, falling like . wind-swept
leaf. Another 500 feet and the plane
went into nose-diye.
2 That" Mr.. Murphy ssntlsd from
