renee G. O'Brien of Delta, Colo,
landed wounded in the sea, survived
four days. although in a delirium
was picked up and carried into new
battle, lived through it all and is
now on the way to full recovery.
1t. O'Brien, co-pilot on the Liber-
ator Pink Averger IL" was flying
in the tail-end Charlie position after
recent raid on Catania when the
formation was jumped by about 20
Messerschmitts.
He heard 20-millimeter shells en-
ter the plane, apparently in the
bomb bay. Twenty seconds later
flames enveloped the fuselage.
Disregarding his own safety, Sergt.
Kenneth Calhoun of Henrietta
Okla. snatched fire extinguisher
and crawled into the bomb bay. The
last thing 1t O'Brien heard was
Sergt. Calhoun shouting, Il can't
put em out"
Regained Consciousness in Sea.
1t. Wayne Field of Hutchinson.
Kans., the pilot, rang the signal for
the crew to bail out and 1t. O'Brien
prepared to jump.
At that instant there was a ter
rife explosion. 1t OBrien had no
recollection of jumping or pulling
the ripcord. He regained conscious
ness while floating to the sea.
He counted seven parachutes
above him, but Pink Avenger IT,
was nowhere to be seen. He saw no
more of his creWmates.
Landing in the sea, 1t. O'Brien
worked himself out of his parachute
saw a half-burned dinghy floating
200 yards away, and managed to
swim to it.
He spent four days floating in the
rubber boat, suffering delirium in
which he imagined he was sending
out sos radio calls.
Picked Up by Torpedo Boats.
Finally he was spotted by torpedo
boats and picked up. Instead of
taking the wounded man ashore. the
torpedo boats had to carry on with
raiding mission in Messina Straits.
Having survived one adventure,
danger for 1t. O'Brien was not yet
over, for the torpedo boats motors
cut out halfway through the night
attack and Italian E-boats could be
heard roaring close by looking for
the limping craft.
The next day, however, the motors
were started again and 1t. O'Brien
was landed safely at Malta.
The first news he heard was that
he had received the Distinguished
Flying Cross for an earlier raid on
Taormina when his Liberator, with
two engines shot out, evaded four
Messerschmitt- He has now
received the Purple Heart.

The NAACP appealed to Mayor
LaGuardia for full hearing which

Liberia Poses
Tick|ish Issue
Embarrassment
Predicted For
Dixie's Solons
BY RICHARD ROBINSON

WASHINGTON. D. Ca N p
Confusion is the order of the
day when officials begin bordering
the pending visit of Liberals presi-
dent Edwin Barclay. Scheduled for
the first of May It has net been
announced whether Mr.. Barclay
will arrive by the northern en-
trance to the United States, which
in normal times would be New
York Or whether the southern
entrance, Miami or Tampa, would
have the honor of welcoming the
chief executive of the sister re-
public Of Africans.
Protocol rules that such visiting
chief executives or rulers of other
friendly nations must spend one
night in the White House as the
guest of the President of the Unit
ed States and the remainder of his
visit stay in the famous old Blair
mansion, just across the street
from the White House.
TICKLISH ISSUE
The first portion of the protocol
is what causes all of the commo-
ton State dinners must be given
while Barclay visits the White
House and the question is whether
it will be stag affair or a regular
dinner. There has been no general
rush among Washington society
for invitations to this affair. There
will be other formal events for Mr..
Barclay in which the diplomatic
corps will participate Whether
there will be luncheonS at the
various embassies is another queS-
ton.
Military and naval aides will
be assigned Mr.. Barclay. They
will accompany him on every trip
and be as ornamental as possible.
Secret Service operatives will be
bristling with secretive Importance

Republic. State department officials

teens. Arrangements were quietly
made for the entire Liberian plen-
airy mission, including the president
treasurer, chief justice and several
others, to stay at private house
