Home DoublY Good To Sgt. Donald
Wilson. Fresh From German Prison

Home seems doubly good to
Sgt. Donald Wilson after being
in a German prison since Dec.
/, 1943.
The young airman was a gun
ner on a BIZ and was taken
prisoner after being parachuted
TO the ground when his plane
exploded 200 feet in the air.
Being parachuted is the correct
term. for young Wilson did not
pull his rip cord because he be-
came unconscious when he was
shot from the waist Of the plane
bv the explosion. Flax fire set
the machine ablaze. causing the
bombs to explode. Out of the ten
men on the plane, Wilson was
the ONLY one that escaped death.
He regained consciousness
while still in the air and found
that the explosion had caused the
opening of his parachute. But
he had not escaped injury, be-
cause the space around his eyes
which was not covered by he'll
met or gas mask was badly
burned, as were his wrists. And
he hearty bit his hongue off when
he struck the ground.
Blinded by the burns, he was
easily taken prisoner about two
hours after landing, and was
sent to Stalag 7-B, about rs
miles from Vienna, where he was
placed in a hospital until his
burns we're healed.
Treatment MOI Bed
His treatment there was not
too bad, though sometimes the
men went hungry. They had
some relief from the Red Cross
packages that they received,
though these were fewer in num-
Der than they should have been.
On MAY 3, 1945, the Nazis
marched their prisoners II miles
to a wood near Braunau, Aus,
where they were kept under
guard until freed by the arrival
of a Third Army tank corps unit.
Sgt. Wilson is on a sixty-day
furlough which he is spending
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Garnet Wilson, 1106 Tucket
street, in Pascagoula.
Because his ear drums were
bursted by the plane explosion,
Wilson fears that he may be dis
charged. But he does not want
to quit until the whole business
has been finished.
If he is discharged he will have
the Air Medal and the Purple
Heart Medal in addition to the
European Theatre ribbon to show
his part in Warld War IL.
Two brothers of Sgt. Wilson
are in the service. Although Cp.
Garnet Wilson was the first to
enlist he is still in the States. To
his great disgust, he is still IN
training as a radio operator and
gunner in the Air Corps. Lloyd
Wilson is a staff sergeant and is
somewhere in France.
The elder Mr.. Wilson is en-
ployed at ingalls,.

Huge" TourisiBusiness 10 Alaska Is Forecast
 When Shipping Normal

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-The Post- Intelligencer said today ship pas- sengers for Alaska have been book ed far ahead" and quoted shipping men as predicting a huge" tourist business to the Territory after re- sumption of normal traffic. |
 A hot race is developing, the ar- ticle said, between Seattle and Van- couver, B. C., steamship companies to take advantage of the trade.
 Though pleasure cruise days may be year or more away" it added the Alaska operators are busily lin ing up their peacetime programs in hopes of getting the jump on their competitors"
 Alaska Steamship Company hopes to get four fast new passenger ships for it's regular service and two or three modern freighters to run to the larger Alaskan ports, the news paper said.
 The article said the Canadian Pac- fife railway company, which oper- ates passenger ships from Vancouv- CT as far north as SkagWay, is studying construction of two pas scnger ships for it's Seattle Victoria Vancouver triangle run"

 "The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Air Medal posthumously to Lieuten- ant Junior Grade, Albert Herman savikkc, for service as set forward in the following:
 For meritorious achievement in aerial flight as co-pilot of Navy Search Liberator attached to Bomb ing Squadron One Hundred Six, in action against the enefhy Japanese forces in the Pacific War Area, from March 29 to May 1, 1944.
 "Undaunted by treacherous wealth CT, dangerous flying conditions and the deadly antiaircraft fire encoun- tered during numerous fierce raids on the enemy-held islands of Vol eai and Wakde, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Savikko materially assisted his pilot in pressing home devastat- ing. attacks at perilously low levels which resulted in the damaging or destruction of nine Japanese cargo vessels and ten troop-carrying barges in addition to two enemy fighter planes shot from the sky.
 Killed in action on May 1, Lieut. snant, Junior Grade, Savikko, by his constant vigilance, prompt and unfailing cooperation and cool cour- age in the face of tremendous op- position, had rendered valiant ser- vice during the powerful offensive in this vital theatre and his unway- ering devotion to duty throughout the period of fierce hostilities was in keeping with. the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country"

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Foreign min isters of the United States, Britain and Soviet Russia planned series of informal talks today amid un- confirmed reports that Foreign Com missar Vyacheslav M. Molotov was awaiting word from Moscow which might clear the way toward a solu- tion of the Balkan peace issue.
 The full council of Big Five For eign Ministers skipped the regular morning conference, and in the af- ternoon was to take up again the French proposals for internationali- zation of the Ruhr and Rhineland.
 In the interim the Foreign Secre- taries of the Big Three powers were reported reliably to be discussing re- newed Soviet demands to exclude France and China from participat- ing in the discussion of Balkan treaties.
 There were indications that un- less U. S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Molotov were con- vinced an absolute deadlock had been reached, they would keep the council in session until this obstacle to the Rumanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian treaties was removed.

AID TO
 BRITAIN
 FAVORED
American Officials Work ing on Plans 10 Loan
 Five Billion Dollars
By John M. HightOwer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Amer- ican officials working out plans to help Britain are said today to fa- vor a loan of $5,O00, ,00O, ,OOO. It ! would be at very low interest rate and without strings on where the money could be spent.
 Whether plan along this line finally is presented to Congress will depend on further Anglo-American negotiations and formal acceptance of the idea by the London and Washington governments.
 Trade talks that have been un~ derWay here several weeks still arc Tn the stage of exploring just what Brltain's financial troubles are and exactly what help may be needed. Nevertheless, opinion among Amer lcan negotiators is fairly well form- ed on the main points.
 The essence of Britain's trouble is that she has to exist for the tiSAo oihCc yCdlo Ol IilUTe Wfllle re- covering to profitable peacetime trade.
 American officials accept the Bri- tish contention that if financial aid can be obtained in this country if will be possible for the new era Of trade to be developed along free competitive lines. Otherwise the British Empire will have to go in TOT a kind of economic isolationism Tn order to survive the crisis.
 The Americans do not accent the British thesis that the aid must be practically free grant of from $5'ooo,OO0,o00 to S6,OOO ,OOO, ,0Oo-the range the British are talking.
 Instead, the United States view IS that the British must cut their overseas sterling debt of SIG. 6.OOO- ooo,ooo by probably 40 or 50 per- cent.

BIG SECRET IS ALLY
 MADE PUBLIC
Nearly 100 Small Amer iedn Wdrships Delivered
 Russia af Alaska Base
By OLEN CLEMENTS Associated Press CorrespOndenU

COLD BAY, Alaska, Aug. 8.-(De- layed, Nearly 100 small American warships were delivered to Russian crews here at this secret base on the tip of tho Alaskan Peninsula before Russia formally entered the war against Japan.
 This base and the delivery of the ships was one of the most guarded secrets of the high north country and Marine guards were posted throughout the area to insure the secrecy of the project.
 In small patches of from eight to 15 ships at a time, the ships were transferred under Lend-Lease to So- viet sailors. The ships included patrol craft, mine sweepers, destroy CT escorts and landing craft infantry the famous LCI's that played such an important role in the Pacific war.
 Russian crews boarded the ships here. They were taught in short courses administered by American naval officers how to maneuver the ships. Then the small flotillas set out for Siberian or Kamchatkan waters across the North Pacific and presumably the Sea of Okhotsk.
 The exact number of ships handed over to Russia has not been re- yealed, but best estimates place the number at between 90 and 100 craft.
 Delivery of the warships began befoze the death of the late Presi- dent Roosevelt and shortly after the historic Yalta conference, where, ap- parently, the decision to Lend-Lease the warships to Russia was made.
 Aside from the LCI's, most of the other ships transferred to Russia were of the type generally used for convoy and escort duty.
