Rubber Rats Freed.

but the next thing T knew I was up,
yanking the rip cord that freed our
three place rubber life raft from the

Capt. Rickenbacker was doing the
same with the after raft.
I saw 1t. De Angels showing the
tiny two-man raft up through the
escape trap over the bomb bay.
Helping him was Sergt. Alex Kacz-

his unit somewhere southwest after
As days in the hospital with yellow

were assigned together because they
were the smallest and lightest.
Capt. Bill Cherry was scrambling
out OF the pilots seat unscathed.
Blood was trickling from cut across
Sergt. Reynolds nose. He had left
his sending key only when Capt.
Rickenbacker yelled: "Three feet"
He didn't know what he had hit,
however. I had a slight arm cut
and Col. Adamson a wrenched
shoulder.
I don't know the order in which
we left the plane. Uppermost in
my mind was that for the first time
in history, a four-motored land
plane had been put down in the
ocean without casualties and I
wanted to keep it that way. We
got out fast. I did see that Capt.
Cherry emerged last. He was cap

should have been.

good bomber crew should. There

Connecticut Farmers

Telegram Cites Troops

Labor Roeketeers'
BY the Associated Press.

~ WIG 7SoVCldteQ FTeSS.
HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. ia
telegram strongly condemning labor
racketeers' and deploring all strikes
was sent yesterday to President
Roosevelt by the Connecticut State
Grange, meeting here for its 58th
annual session.
Coal miners are out on strike" :"
the telegram said in part. New
England is cold and growing colder.
We need coal, oil, gasoline, rubber
and food. Men in essential industry
are out on strike. Farmers are
bending their backs under a heavy
load. Farmers are short of man
power, materials and machinery.
Farmers are too patriotic to strike
This is, America (our country
OF which We speak. Our boys are
fighting gallantly on the seven seas
and on every continent. Every man
hour lost is the enemy's gain.
"Mr. President, the farmers of
America look to you to end all strikes
forthwith. We deplore all strikes in
times like these. We condemn labor
racketeers. Mr.. President, American
farmers are looking to you to find a
way out"
Similar sentiments were expressed
by Sherman K. Ives, master of the
State Grange, in his report.
1T is, indeed, regrettable, If not
tragic, that our farmers should now
have to be giving thought and effort
to combating labor organizers on
one hand and governmental social
experimentation on the other when
their sole endeavor should be food
production in this crisis"
He charged that the United States
Agriculture Department had issued
misleading" statement on current
agricultural prices, which, he said,
are "lower than in 1899 or 1919, while
industrial wages are higher.
In spite Of this, farmers have
performed an almost miraculous feat
Of production in 1942," he added.

put against our stomachs, then
fastened the safety belts over them.
At 200 feet we cut the two inboard

We were losing altitude swiftly
now and Bills eyes were glued to
the sea, which was leaping up to
meet us. At that instant we heard
the voice Of 1t. John J. De Angels,
our navigator.

"do you mind if pray?"
What in the hell do you think
we're doing?" Capt. Cherry snap

raced forward from the stern and
loosened the lugs that held the
escape hatch over the cockpit. The
lid whipped of and was gone in an
Instant. He paused in the bomb bay,
freed the hatch there and sped back
to his station on the floor.
The wind was a roar now. We
were coming in at 80 miles an hour
with the landing flaps and wheels
up so there would be nothing to
snag in the water. You can't
realize the will power 1t takes to
put a plane into the sea with even

lunged, but did not leave the surface
The waves rolled up about us and we
were in. From almost 80 miles an

little over 80 feet-about 10 steps.
The shock and pressure of tha.
landing is almost indescribable to a
person who hasn't been through
