BLOOD PLASMA USED FOR
 CRASH PLIERS
By Cpl. TOM LOVE 0lth AAF Correspondent

HEADQUARTERS, 11th AAF SERVICE COMMANDERS mir aculous effect of blood plaSma treatment for crashed flyers and other injured soldiers of he l1th AAF was revealed by Maj. c. R. Donley, commanding officers of the l1th AAF Emergency Rescue Boat Squadron.
 The main use of blood plasma by the boat squadron is for shock. The landing speed of most combat aircraft is exceedingly high, and the impact of hitting the water usually Stuns the crew of a crash ed plane.
 Major Donley said, Our off shore rescue vessels which speed out to rescue the flyers almost al ways give treatment for shock as soon as hey are pulled on board. Blood plasma is the only effective treatment for this mysterious and dreaded condition"
 The Emergency Rescue Boat Squadron operates along 5000 miles of shoreline from Southeast ern Alaska to Attu, under the llth AAF Service. Command, and has many successful rescues to its credit
 The major said the forgotten heroes" of the Service Command, the soldiers who man the weather observation and airways commun- ications stations in isolated spots, have also come to know about blood plasma magic.
 Warrant Officer Clarence Mike Hatton of Anchorage, Alaska, master of one of the boats, described a recent rescue of a soldier who had fallen off a 600-foot cliff in a place inaccessi- ble from any direction but the sea. We battered our way through heavy seas and fog to reach the island" the officer said. The surf was rough, and we didn't know whether we could get a dory in to pick up the patient
 Sgt Eckley Guerin of Juneau Alaska, and Sgt. Donald J. Sain- don of Anchorage settled this mat ter by battering their way

 Another projection team, caught by williwaw, was stranded at an Aleutian outpost for four days recently. To en ertain the men of the unit, they showed the same film each night they were there. It was, appropriately, Stormy Wea her"

 "The job then became to get the patient back to our boat. The sergeants on shore blinkered was too rough for that, and the doctors thought a Wet4ing would be ia al for the patient. I blink cred back we were open to the entire Pacific Ocean, and he surf was not going to get any smooth CT.
 At this point, four other Alas kans of the crew, Warrant Of ficer Wilbur P. Green of Fair banks, Sgt. Harld F. Turner of Ketchikan, Sgt. James H. Croston, Jr., of Issaquak and Sgt. Pete Ol- son of Kanakanak, volunteered to go in and guide the dory through the breakers with their bare hands.
 So successful has been the work of the Emergency Rescue Boat Squadron, is scope is being ex- tended. A more powerful, long range, high-speed rescue vessel has been designed and will be placed in service in Alaska in the near future.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. up
The senate finance committee has
made the first break in the con-
gressional log jam on demobiliza- =
ton legislation by approving unan-
imously proposal to extend to
workers in federal shipyards, arsen-

employment compensation benefits
equal TO those IN private industry.
The committee acted in response
TO urging from congressional and
war production leaders for speedy
action on legislation to provide for
orderly industrial rehabilitation in
event of a German collapse.
Official alarm over falling war
production was attributed largely
TO heavy labor turnover believed
growing out of fears that sudden
victory in Europe might result in
widespread unemployment here.
Finance Committee Chairman
Walter F. George, CD Ga, sponsor
of the unemployment compensation
bill, said it would be taken up on
the senate floor next Tuesday.
