 After we got over the ocean where 1t wasn't 50 bunpy the other plane flew up and over me. I somehow wasn't afraid any longer. Then I came into contact with the wing of the plane. I remember 6 sort of sinking feeling when I slipped off the wing and the shrouds again snapped taut.
 Finally the little plane was di- rectly below me, As 1t rose, I feared 1t would strike the tail of the trans port. Then I fell into the cock- pit into the arms of McCants. I put a death grip on him and I don't believe anything could have pried me loose.

 legislators from suburban towns was formed. The bloc will back the bill with oil it's influence, 1t was an- nounced by Representative Joseph Neill Of Watertown, chairman.

 This area is in dire need of tho trade school contemplated" he said land 1t is agreed that Waterbury is the proper location.

Thrilling Rescue In Air Of Marine Lieut..
(continued from Page D

Lieut.. Lowrey and McCants were watching from the North Island naval station. Here Is what hap pened, in the words of LoWrey, Me- Cants and Osipoff, who Is recover ing in Sick Bay from shock and a cut under his armpit that took 25 stitches to close:
 Gowrey's version3 we went up to 300 feet and there met the trans port. tried to get under 1t but the air was too bumpy, I sig- naled the pilot of the transport to climb and head for the ocean where I knew 1t would be smoother. He did and I slgnaled when we got into q quiet layer of air. then made the second attempt.
 T eased Up to the transport on the left side. It was like flying in formation. I got on Gin position with) the left wing of the big ship and then slipped in under Osipoff's body. Then McCants did all the hard work.
 "He had his knife out and as Osipoff dropped into the rear cock pit, McCants began cutting the shrouds.
 Rescued Man in Frenzy
 (Modesty and deference to fel- low officer forbade Lowrey telling here that Osipoff became hysteri. cal, seized McCants in c death grip and that e-Lowrey-saved the day by turning the plane's nose Up in a vertical climb, making the propel- Ter cut the shrouds)
 T pulled back the stick and raised the ship 50 the propeller would help cut the shrouds," Low rcy continued.
 Then came the only bad part of the whole experience, 1t seems to me. When the last of the shrouds were cut the wind whipped them aroupnd the tail Of our plane. We had some hectic moments trying to handle the plane, before we landed 1t on the navy field. Dur ing those moments 1t seemed to me we might end in disaster"
 (McCants' version was brief:) When Lieut.. Osipoff dropped into the cockpit he was still conscious and he grabbed me around the waist in what might be called a deaths grip, 1t was so tight. I don't think I could have shaken him off If had wanted to. I hacked at the ropes but Lieut.. Lawrey whipped the plane up and we were free in a few seconds"
 Lieut. Osipoff's version:) T was waiting my turn to jump when sud- denly I was jerked off my feet and out the open door.
 "The slipstream of the big mos tors hurled me back. When the shrouds of my chute snapped taut I though I would lose consciousness but the cold air blowing back into my face seemed to revive me. It seemed like hours that I dangled head down. Thought of Own Death ' "Several things occurred to me as I trailed along behind the plane , Even if the worst happened, l thought, somebody would benefit by 1 getting my insurance.

Dukes Second Visit
 This was the dukes second visit to London, 1t was learned. On the first he had talked to Churchill.
 British intelligence agents were reported to be working on Hesss vanity in hope that he would dis close some secrets of the Nazi poll tical and military situations.
 Each day he is shown copious manuscripts containing the German broadcasts concerning what the Nazis call "The Case of Hess" He listens eagerly to all British broad- casts about himself and is under stood to enjoy them thoroughly.
 Apparently the British hoped that his vanity, fired by publicity, and the widely divergent German state- ments about him would loosen his tongue. It was pointed out, for in- stance, that he alone was able to see which Of the conflicting German versions were deliberate distortions. Further, his reported boasts of Ger man inyincibility were calculated to lead him 10 dtyulge facts concern ing Germany in hope of impressing his skeptical British auditors.

 From both Washington and Lon don came frank official warnings to Vichy against the full-scale "collab- Oration" with Germany which ap- peared to be implicit in current Franco-G German negotiations.
