my shoes OF. You have from 30
seconds to four minutes to get out
of the plane and you know just
what to do, like a fire drill in
school.
But we were so tired. I got to
the dinghy but I couldn't turn it
over. Then I saw the tail gunner
sitting alone on the tail with his
Mae West inflated life preserver)
on. I told him to come over and
help me turn the dinghy over. He
just sat there. I wasn't excited, I
just talked to him like a child. I
said: You've got to come over here
and help me- Finally, he slipped
off the tail, and hung on there.
Then I heard him gurgling water.
I knew then he had it.
Flies as RAF Guest.
The mid-upper gunner was in
the water. only four feet away, but
1t seemed to take him an awful
long time to come those four feet.
We turned the boat over. The
paddles were still in it and we
padded around in the North Sea.
Toward morning we saw one of
those rescue floats which are an
chored all over the North Sea.
They're just like hotels. You 60
down the hatch and there are beds
and hot coffee and radio and blan-
kets and books and everything. I
wanted to get into it, but just then
a launch came along and we came
on home. But it's no fun coming
home without your ship and crew."

How sdid you get out of the
plane?" I asked the sergeant.
They say 1 shot through the top
of the bomber. The radio man had
it when the plane burned. A farm
er saw me lying on a hill and
thought I was dead. I'm lucky al
ways. If he had moved me with a
broken neck, it would have been too
bad. Then a RAFF orthopedic doc

Lucky Yankee Flyer
Suffers Broken Neck;
His ; Brothers Killed
BY L. l.. WINSHIP.

LONDON, August 10 (By wireless
to MANA The custom is that peo-
pie who ride in railway compart-
ments in England do not talk to one
another, but Sergt. Arthur McLe-
more and I, being alone, took a
chance. He was on his way north
to bomber station to pick up the
belongings of his youngest brother,
reported lost on a raid over Ger
many.
This is what the sergeant said, in
the railway compartment:
II was the first to leave home, in
Mississippi; I went to Canada when
the war started, trained seven
months and then came over here.
I guess I'm responsible for my three
brothers following me. They came
In order: The next youngest and
then the next youngest to him and
then the youngest, who just had it."
Three Brothers Killed.
Sergt. McLemore's three brothers
were killed flying, in the order in
which they enlisted.
Il was. the only lucky one in the
family" he said.
How come you were so lucky?"
I asked.
Well, I broke my neck he re-
piled. He was lucky" to break his
neck, because it kept him in plas-
ter cast for nine months. AS an
Raj pronounced raff) pilot he had
been on Is bombing raids over Ger
many and 10 gardening jobs"
planting mines. They are sown like
seed. McLemore's luck" came on
the way home.
We both stared out the train
window. A flock of bombers was
just coming over the horizon, high
above the very blue and very peace
full North Sea.
well, I guess you've made your
last trip with those boys" I said.
Sergt. McLemore's job now is at
a desk in the ONCE of Col. Lester
Lear.
Nine Times Over Germany.
He looked across at me for
long minute and said, well, I guess
it's no harm in telling now, and
Col, Lear couldn't kick because I
wasn't in the American Air Force
then, but I've been over Germany
nine times since I got out of the
hospital"
How do you mean?"
1--we got a lot of friends in the
RAF. They let me ride along"
So while he was convalescing
from broken neck, Sergt. McLe-
more rode a bomber over Bremen
and Cologne and such places. 1t
was probably against all the rules
of the RAF and it certainly is
against all the rules of common
sense and safety, but the boys who
ride the bombers seem to be living
by set of rules of their own.
He spoke quietly OF the crash
which broke his neck.
"a bunch of fighters found u.s."
he related. I'VE had been caught
in the searchlights, and it was just
like being sprayed with a garden
hose. But we got away and I
thought we had lost all the Jerry
fighters. -Four Of the crew had it;
all the others. except the radio man,
were wounded.

Is about so miles northeast oi
Orel, the Germans flung two
regiments of infantry against
Russian hilltop positions which
the communique described as
"of great tactical importance.
In the beginning, the COM
munique said, the Nazi troops
succeeded in occupying several
Russian trenches. Counter blows
struck by the Red Army flung
the Germans back, however,
and the Russians regained all
lost territory, the bulletin add
ed. German losses in the battle
were 900 dead and prisoners
were captured, the Russians de-
clared. -
SAVAGE ASSAULT
The Russian communique in
dictated that the German high
command was pushing its Of
fensive without regard to losses
of armored equipment. To the
586 enemy tanks reported de-
stroyed in the midnight COM
munique the midday bulletin
added l52 more, bringing the
total for the first "a hours of the
push to 1873.
(The Vichy radio. referring to
Russian reports of heavy fight
ing in the Orel sector, said to-
day in a broadcast recorded by
Associated Press that Berlin
comments insist this operation is
of strictly local character.
Elsewhere on the Russian
front little activity was reported.
Russian troops on the Karelian
front attacked two Finnish
strong points which the COM
munique said had served as a
base for diversion raids. The
Firms were caught by surprise,
the Russians said. and one gar
rison surrendered and the sec
ond was routed with a loss of
$50 killed and wounded.
The bulletin added that the
Red Army men had destroyed
nine blockhouses, 80 dugouts and
eight houses which had been
turned into strong points in this
engagement. Seven dumps were
destroyed and equipment was
captured.
On the front west of Moscow
both sides engaged in occasional
exchanges fof artillery and ma
chinegun fire, the communiquc
said. Russian troops were re-
ported to have wiped out one
company of German infantry.
and destroyed an artillery bat
terry and 10 machine gun nests.
A small group of German in
fantry attempted reconnaissance
operations but were dispersed by
rifle and machine gun fire, the
communique said.

DETROIT, July 6-(P)-For
the first time since they moved
in to halt bloody race rioting
in Detroit June 81, federal
troops today abandoned street
patrols here. The action came
after a quiet holiday weekend.
At least until Aug. 2, the
troops will remain in their
bivouac areas, by agreement
between Governor Harry F.
Kelly of Michigan and Brig.
Gen. William f. Guthner, their
commander, but they will be
ready TO move without further
orders and in a matter of min

Governor Kelly said he would
decide on Aug. . whether the
Michigan state troops have been
organized effectively enough TO
justify release of the army's SOL
diers from this area.
Plans for reorganization Of the
state troops were considered to-
day at conference between
Kelly, Gen. Guthner, Mayor Ed

Guffey Act
Gels Reprieve
But Coal Bill
Neors on End

WASHINGTON. July SIP
Government regulation of the
soft coal mines under the six
yearold Guffey act appeared
headed today for the junkpile,
latest casualty OF a sledge- ham
mer swinging Congress.
The House Rules committee
called up a bill TO grant the act a
brief reprieve, but proponents
held little hope 1t would get any
where.
Notwithstanding a plea By
President Roosevelt. the Ways
and Means committee yesterday
rejected a bill that would have
extended the sterilization mach
merry for two years after the
war S end.
Spokesman of the United
Mine Workers and persons
claiming to represent a big ma
jorlty Of the coal output, urged
the setup be continued How
ever, opponents raised the queS-
ton as 10 need for the act since
the government, as a result of
the recent coal strike, had taken
over the mines. They contended
also that the act had resulted in
higher coal priceSc.
Unless Congress extends the
life of the coal law, it Will ex-
pire Aug %.
Last week. when it appeared
I Congress might recess for the
summer before hearings could
be completed on the measure for
a full extension, the Ways and
Means committee approved a
simple resolution TO continue the
/ law until Jan |. The Rules COM
>. nfittee was TO decide today
whether il would allow this res
olution 10 go TO the House floor
for a vote.
Proponents worked feverishly,
but conceded that, since the
( Ways and Means group had kill
cd the full extension. the Rules
committee would be little dis
posed to give right OF way 10
legislation for a temporary ex-
tension.
The act, written in 1897, pro-
vides machinery for a system OF
minimum prices al the mines. on
a regional basis, with the view
to preventing price cutting, and
TO stabilizing the industry in
which many producers have
found difficulty making ends
meet.
