Leaves Patient
Weak But Alive

BOSTON, July % - OUP) - A
ninth blood TRANSMISSION was given
to Frank II. Mellcn, SO, today in an
effort to save his life after a corps
of doctors and nurses worked in a
five-hour relay to remove part of
his esophagus.
Mellen entered the h o pital
Thursday after a throat obstruction
and inability to cat left him in
critical condition. An X-ray showed
need of an operation and DR.. John
w. Strieder performed it with six
other doctors and nurses assisting
For five hours, the surgeons
worked in relays. To complete the
operation, it was necessary to push
the patients heart and lungs to one
side while a one-inch section of the
esophagus was removed A plastic
tube was used to patch the severed
parts and through this tube, soft
foods and liquids are fed hourly
to the patient.
Despite the length of the opera
ton Mellen rallied with each trans
fusion. His condition remained crit
ical, however.

Golden Spike R. r.
Torn Up to Make
Scrap for Nation

PROMONTORY, Utah, July %
CUP) 49, The Navy needs the steel,
so today so men in overalls began
ripping up the historic Golden
Spike stretch of track that joined
together the nations first trans
continental railroad in 1869.
Seventy-three years ago it was
a race between two railroads and
their construction crews to see
which could reach Promontory
Point first. The crews lived in
camp trains, because there were
no towns.
Today campaign accompanied
the wrecking crew in its race to
move the tracks to Navy yards. The
towns along the 116 miles of track
have long been ghost villages
The stretch of rail, which con-
meets Corrine and Lucin. Utah, was
superseded by cutoff built about
30 years ago, and has been main
tanned only as a standby.
The rail that is useable will be
relaid in Navy yards. The rest will
be sent to steel mills for scrap
The crew expects to reach the spot
where the gold spike was ham,
mered in about Aug. Is. The spike
itself was removed shortly after
the ceremony that challenged the
nations imagination, and now re-
poses in San Francisco vault

DeSeversky Urges
Air Minded Public
Officials for U.S..

LOS ANGELES, July 20 UP) -
Maj. Alexander P. De Seversky to-
day urged the American people dur
ing the coming elections to name as
their representative men who are
airminded.
Every American must be an avi-
ator at heart, just as in past gen.
erations every Englishman felt he
was a seafarer even though he
rarely went out on the water" the
poted aviation authority told a lee
ture audience last night.
Maj. De Seversky advocated two
point program zor winning the war:
the formatio of a unified air com
mand and the building of long
range planes to carry the attack
to the enemy.
"The entire campaign and STRAIT
egy should be woven around air
power We cannot invade Europe
until we have complete air mastery
or Europe. First we must destroy
the enemy airpower and then We
can maintain an air blockade of the
Axis. We cannot do this by defense
We must strike out and carry the
attack to the enemy
De Seversky, ridiculing the pres
ent secrecy about air moves, SAID
that if the United States and the
British win air supremacy they
could tell the enemy the exact
hour theY we're coming over to
bomb them and they could not do
anything about it.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Ger

of minimizing the failure to capture

summary of the war in Russia to
recall German victories Of the past.

homeless rounded up in captured
areas. Neither did the Germans
mention their own losses.
The broadcast started out by de-
scribing Russia at the outset of the
war as having many times the mill
tary power of all the armies of
Europe. From this it progressed
through detailed account of
knocking out Soviet army after
army until, according to the Berlin
version, Soviet armed might was
virtually smashed.
This seemed difficult even for the
Nazi broadcaster to reconcile with
the Russian stand at Stalingrad and
the nightly counterattacks which the
Germans said, were being driven at
their lines on the central and north
ern fronts.
