establishment of a badly needed
truck company and threatens to
jeopardize the city's entire fire pro-

Citizens Associations last night ap-
proved report recommending a cut
in the period of service required be-
fore tiremen and policemen may be
considered for deferment from draft
A Federation committee headed
by Percival j. Abelman recommend
ed that married men with children
born before September, 1912, be
made eligible for deferment after
six months service instead of one
year, as now required by depart
ment regulations. Alarmed at the
growing shortage in both branches
of the city's protective services, the
committee urged that similar &C
ton be taken in regard to police
men.
The Fire Department, the report
declared, has been eager but unable

Similarly, the Police Department

Department to adopt a policy SINH

Department, allowing accrued an

four days reserved for emergencies.

how he was saved by Partisans at
the cost of two of their lives, bathed
his feet in native liquor and at

The pilot was 1t. Louis Frank of

though under fire from German
defenSeS on the mainland they

their island farther out in the

Two PartiSans were hit by Ger
man shells and killed during the
trip.
Picked Up by Volunteers.
"As soon as We pushed off going
toward the island 75-mm. gun
somewhere on the mainland opened
up at us" 1t. Frank said But our
boat was not hit and soon landed
on a large island which was a
Partisan stronghold.
There I learned that had been
seen bailing out and that the Par
tiSan brigadier had asked at once
for volunteers to pick me up
Il was first taken to house where
they got out the local booze and
bathed my feet in some Git. Franks
feet had been cut by rocks on the
island. At the same time they
were giving me some to drink.
Il took it internally and eXter-
nally. 1t was bit hot, but I was
cold after sitting on a rock and it
warmed me up
Later the PartisanS visited a dance
and took the flyer with them.
Girls Have Rifles Over Shoulders.
There were lot of girls at the
dance and they all had hand gre
nadeS in their belts and rifles slung
over their shoulders" he recalled
Il was struck by their nice looks
There was mixture of blonds and
brunettes-much as one would meet
in the States"
1t. Frank spent five days on the
island, which was we'll within artil-
lery range of the German shore

He described the brigadier, a fol-
lower of Marshal Josip Broz (Tito),
