Following Night Of
Horror OFF Africa
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,

WITH STRATEGIC AIR FORCE
North Africa, May Is (By Wire

after his Flying Fortress crashed il
the Mediterranean few nights ago
told of the crew crowding a tiny lift
raft and only four reaching safety
after a night of horror.
Two men are known dead anc
five others are missing from the crew
of the Fortress, which sank Is sec
onds after it crashed. The flyers
succeeded in launching only one life
rata fragile affair designed fol
only five men
The men clung to its edge or hud-
died on board all night. The fol-
lowing day ships sailed close by, but
did not sight them.
Radioman First to Go.
Here is the story told by the SER
geant;
The radio operator was the first
to 60 He had swallowed a lot OF
sea water and had no strength left
He felt he was going to die, and let
himself go The colonel said few
words as the operator disappeared
under Water-he prayed that the
dead man would be received into
Heaven.
"A couple of times we said the
Lords Prayer for the sick men-not
ourselves.
Then the assistant radio op-
orator. who was a good swimmer
started to swim for shore, which we
could make out in the darkness We
followed him with our eyes two
thirds of the way and never saw him
again
The co-pilot died by the raft
He was thin man and did not float
we'll Two of us held him up with
out hands until the end, but we
lacked the strength to lift him into
the raft. Then the bombardier and
the engineer decided to swim for it
We were then only 500 yards off
shore. We never saw them again.
Finally Hit Reef.
"We finally hit reef and got to
comparatively dry land. There
were only four left now. We climbed
to the driest part of the rocks and
huddled together. All of us were
sick and vomiting and nearly
frozen. But we had to get out of
there despite the 200-foot high
cliffs. We could climb 80 feet, then
rest.
"As We neared the top the going
became near impossible The colonel
was too weak to make the last
stretch The three of us. barefooted
climbed over the top and attracted
some Arabs across a ravine. They
helped us with the colonel. then
brought us food and invited us home
But we were too weak to 90 on.
Finally one Arab found an English
truck nine miles away. He came
back with four Englishmen who
nursed us and b-Hlt fire.
In the morning a medical officer
and 30 Englishmen came with
stretchers and whisky, tea and toast
They wrapped blankets around us
and carried us back on stretchers
to a British hospital"

worse rather than better" Mr..
Mueller said.
Mr. Mueller charged the maxi
mum price regulations of OPA un~
der which the hosiery industry is
now operating are based on a
theory of profit control instead of
price control and aim at reform in
stead of regulation"
Pointing out that branded mer-
chandise is the life blood of the
small retailer, he told the subcom-
mittee no branded house" can af-
ford to reduce its quality, nor can
it afford to offer goods at a price
that does not give the consumer so
much value that repeat business
will automatically result.
Forcing this comrany and others
of it's kind out OF business" Mr..
Mueller declared. Whatever the
product may be on which the man
ufacturer is proud to place his name
and which he is glad to back with
his guarantee. means an exappro-
priation of property that is certainly
not intended by the Emergency
Price Control Act and is definitely
not in accordance with the Ameri-
can belief in freedom of enterprise. y
With selling prices fixed below
actual costs, Mr. Mueller said the
branded line dealer is faced with
the alternative of disseminating op-
erationS altogether or converting his
operations to the manufacture of
an unbranded product.
Either alternative" he declared,
results in depriving the branded
line customer, the independent re-
taller of his source of supply, which
is certainly not regulation but re-
form, with an ulterior motive"
He pointed out his company had
spent in its So years of operations
approximately $12,5OO,000 in adver-
tising the Kayser name.
