Tom Harmon S Parents
Thank God He Is Safe
After Crash in JunqIe
Father, Mother Get Word
Of Grid Stor's Escape
On Return From Prayers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, April IT,
Tom Harmon and "Old 9S." the
numerals that were so successful
on the gridiron that the former
All-American football star trans
ferred them to his bomber when he
joined the Army Air Forces, have
won their way out of another trap
The War Department reported
today that 1t. Harmon, one-time
University OF Michigan halfback
and later a screen player and radio
sports commentator. was safe nine
days after his plane crashed some
where in South American jungle
There were no details and no
1nkling of the fate of other men,
bers Of the crew. but bare word that
1t. Harmon himself was safe
brought rejoicing among old class
mates and coaches and to his par
ents, who live here in a house he
built them with money that came
from his screen and radio work.
Herbert o. CFritz) Crisler. Toms
old football coach, took time to con-
firm news reports of Toms safety
and then dashed to the home of
the Harmons. First word came to
Toms parents. Louis A. Harmon,
70, and his wife, who is 81. just as
they returned from special prayer
service lin the chapel where their
son had worshipped in his student
days.
"Oh, thank the good God" his
mother rejoiced.
Crisler's grin was broad. The
coach who had called Harmon the
greatest competitor in the history
OF football insisted from the first
that the Gary galloper would turn
up safe.
And I'll betcha dollar he doesn't
have scratch on him. Coach
Crisler beamed when his first hunch
was proved correct.
Mrs. Harmon wouldn't rest until
she had prepared a message to be
cabled to her son when circum-
stances permit 1t read:
Thank God, you're safe. We're
all so happy. We're together here
at home. Have talked to Elyse."
Elyse is Elyse Knox, pretty moving
picture starlet with whose name
Toms has been linked romantically.

This is the story that could not
be told before-the story of careful

piled up vast stores of war ma

Montgomery's warriors, ready for
use the moment they made the

When the American I'd Army

using a sledge hammer to swat a

to block an expected Axis counter
blow. United States infantry seized

the Gabes road and an armored

Long conveys arrived during night

The stores they piled up in a few
days would have been a rich prize
for Marshal Erwin Rommel and
perhaps he knew it. for soon there
came slashing tank assault on Unit
ed States infantry positions near
Ell Guetar. 1t was a daring gamble
and it might have won but for the
gallantry Of the American soldiers
who remained at their posts and
battled the tanks at point blank
range with every weapon available
after the panzer thrust had made a
seven-mile penetration into the lines.
That stand saved the dumps Gre

and assured him ready access to
material needed for sustained pur-

eye which he wore for several
weeks.
It might be mentioned that
Merle's left eye was in such con-
dition that, even before his induc-
ton, he was compelled to wear
thick lensed glasses. After his re-
turn to this country on destroyer
which carried a contingent of
italian and German war prisoners,
he was hospitalized.
There an unusual operation was
performed. An eye from cas-
ualty was removed and grated on
in place of the one Merle lost in
Europe. It was a perfect match
and the strange part of it is that
Merle can now see better than be-
fore he was injured-to the extent
that he no longer wears glasses.
Young Babcock's job, which in
volved, among other duties, the
cleaning out Of snipers left behind
was interesting and at times highly
exciting, he says. Personally, how
ever, he sees no good sense in TAX

CANT Huns who still claim that the

just Allied propaganda.
On Jan. 2, Babcick and four
others in his company, will be pre-
scented with the Purple Heart.
