Carrier Pigeon
| Saves Lives of 4
In Bomber Crash
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 6.-Winkie, a
tough little carrier pigeon, OIL
soaked and doused in the icy North
Sea, flew 100 miles to her home loft
and thereby saved the lives of four
crew members of an r. A. F. Beau
fort bomber which crashed on the
way back from an offensive patrol
of Norway. The Air Ministry told
her story last night. ..s..
Wrinkles cage broke open when
the bomber was forced down at sea
by engine trouble. The plane sank
within a minute, but the men man
aged to get off in rubber dinghy.
Pigeon Fancier James Ross of
Dundee reported to authorities that
she had returned. Her code num-
ber showed what plane she had been
in. A check of her known flying
speed helped in computing where
she had left the plane, and a recon-
naissance plane which was sent out
located the dinghy.
Winkie, treated to a special feed,
strutted IL her cage at party in
her honor while flyers made
speeches and gave Ross-for Winkie
"a bronze plaque with the figure
of tiny pigeon flying over the sea-
Inscribed on the plaque was the

Workshop Session
OF Teachers Hears
Radio Project Chief
Philip Cohen Tells of
Documentary Recording
And Value to Nation

The fifth radio workshop meeting
of the District public school teach
ers last night was addressed by
Philip Cohen, chief of the radio
project of the Library Of Congress,
who outlined documentary recording
and its importance to the Nation.
Mr.. Cohen, who has studied in
England and travelled as a field
worker of the project in the United
States, stressed that documentary
work of this nature is not only of
vital concern as a means of preserv-
ing the music and opinions as
actually voiced by American people
of all types and classes, but that
it could accomplish much today in
the way of unifying the Nation.
The speaker, detailing the work
of his unit with the aid of sample
transcriptions, pointed out that
honest" Recommendation always
must be the watchword.
In other words, in trying to
determine the reaction Of residents
of a Mid Western town to, say,
gasoline rationing or Selective serv-
ice, one must be certain to represent
each side of the question, otherwise
your document will be distorted"
Mr.. Cohen declared the use of
such records over the radio would
be much preferable to some of the
types of dramatic shows presented
by professionals. THE pace and
naturaneSs of the conversations
of real characters themselves has
but rarely been rivaled by profess
sional companies" he added.
Declaring that the field Of doc
umentation by recording and motion
picture has been 'woefully un-
explored in proportion to its size"
Mr.. Cohen suggested public schools
prepare recordings Of classroom
activities Of children.
Following the talk an open
forum on the subject was held.
Bill Coyle, radio director of The
Star, presided over the meeting,
which was held in the Trans-Lux
Building.

One of the most popular jobs
among Red Cross nurses aides is
duty at Children's Hospital, where
aides relieve graduate nurses for the
continual bedside care required for
sick youngsters.
Red Cross aides have to serve $50
hours on general duty after their
graduation before they can go to
Children's, but they all agree It's
worth it.
Because they are helpless, child
rem require much more attention
than adults and here the increas-
ing nursing shortage has been felt
keenly
For young women who hope to
become mothers, service at Chill

mothers often find that holding

At Children's, the Red Cross aides

youngsters, give formulas, persuade

manned unperturbed today, however,
by the Office of Defense Transpor-
tation's order broadening it's pre-
vious ban on sightseeing by bus to
include ANY rubber tired vehicle
propelled or drawn by mechanical
power, for hire or under hire"
AS one operator put it, people in
Washington just aren't Sightseeing
minded any more" Sightseeing.
many of the operators say. fell off
in some cases as much as so per cent
when the United States entered the
war and has continued to decline
ever since.
Going Into Other Fields.
A spokesman for one company,
which parked its buses in favor of a
fleet Of seven-passenger limousines
when the original ODT order was
issued. said his organization will
just close up" when the new ruling
takes effect. Weddings and fu-
nerals, he said. do not provide
enough business to support the We
hicles.
None Of the sightseeing service
operators reached today would pre-
dict that horse-drawn "rubberneck"
vehicles would soon be seen on
Washington streets. The ODT has
reported that horse drawn carriages
OF the vintage of 1850 have reap
peared in Boston so that visitors
may continue to visit landmarks.
Many of the local limousine serv-
ices already have turned to other
fields. One Washington man sent
all his equipment TO Camp Pickett,
Va, a month ago and does business
exclusively with soldiers. Another
confines his activities principally to
transporting soldiers home on leave
from Fort Belvoir.
Taxicabs Included in Order.
I'm all for anything that will
help win the war. including helping
the boys get little of that home
morale. I don't make as much
money. maybe, but I get by he said.
Others do business principally
with Government departments and
some rent limousines to business
men visiting Government offices.
Taxicabs are included in the Or
der, too, and may no longer pick up
passengers bent on no more than
sightseeing. Drive-yourself services
also are included, as are privately
owned cars. which must not, be Of
fered for hire or rented for sight,
seeing purposes.
The order is effective whether or
not the services of driver are in
cluded, the ODT declared, and both
owners and drivers ''are held re-
sponsible for enforcement"
