PITTSBURGH, Oct. 15.-An 18-
year-old freshman student at the
University of Pittsburgh told police
yesterday he apparently accidental
ly shot Frank M. Anderson, Spring
dale (Pa) merchant, who was found
dead on a secluded walk in Schen-
ley Park last week.
Police 1t. Henry Pieper said the
youth, William Blader of Brooklyn,
N. Y, made a statement that he
had been trying out a new revolver
Thursday night. The officer quoted
young Blader as saying:
"I had an inkling that maybe the
man had gotten in range with the
bullets fired and was injured. Any
thing that happened was purely ac-
cidental. 1t was all mistake"
Mr.. ANDERSON, so, was shot in the
back Friday morning behind Car
negie Music Hall in the park. His
locked, parked automobile was
nearby.
Inspector Edward Mas said young
Blader was arrested in his rooming
house yesterday afternoon on
charge>of violating the Firearms Act
after being traced through firearms
sales records.
Lit. Pieper quoted him as telling
the following story at a Morals
Court hearing:
"I went around to the back of the
library because knew no one would
be there. I was practicing and fir
ing the gun because it was the first
ever owned.
Asked if he knew he hit some
one, the youth replied, Il had an
idea I shot some one accidentally
when some one passed me, then
went down the walk away and fell
down"
Still puzzling officers was an ex-

presence in the park early Friday

upset the schedule. The tide was
coming out fast and the surf
was running high. The wind
was bowling. With difficulty
they lowered two dinghys. Just
as the three Frenchmen were
getting in, the roar of a plane
diving at them was heard. 1t
came straight towards them like
thunder. The spit Of q machine
gun could be seen. Everyone in
the small boat stood frozen in
their position. About SO slugs
hit the boat but nobody was
struck. It passed and didn't re-
turn. They didn't know whether
1t was an American or German
plane. The pilot was probably
guessing at his target.
Fifteen minutes after the two
dinghys pushed off the single
word, touchdown" came over
the walkie talkie. This meant
they were safely ashore. Ten
minutes later the terse words,
coming back" were spoken. This
was the maximum communica-
ton they could use without at
tracing attention. Fifteen min
utes later the dinghys should
have been back. Ten more min
utes passed. The crew was get

to start their slow journey out

ficers. But the stories Of the
deeds of these men constitute
one of the thrilling chapters Of
World War II.
F. Michael Carroll, Yale
graduate from Chicago, had been
doing this work for m q n y
months, operating off the coast
of England. He was a Navy lieu
tenant with OSS. A month after
D-Day he got his most important
assignment.
The Normandy beachhead was
stalled. Gen. Patton was ready
to try to crash through to Av-
ranches and Brest and knock the
Germans out Of Brittany, but 1t
was essential to find out how
many divisions Of the German
strategic reserves had been NOV
ed into the area. It was decided
to send il three French spies to
find out. Tine was all-import-
ant. The situation was explain
ed to Carroll and he was assign
ed to plan the landing Of these
men.
A RACE WITH THE MOON
Phase Of the moon was one
of the most important factors
in the landing operation. When
the moon was bright 1t was i'm
possible. He had three days be-
fore the moon would come out.
The first two days q storm ragged
over the channel. Afternoon Of
the third day It began to abate
but the water was still very
rough. It was decided to make
the attempt anyway. It would
be weeks before they could try
again.
The three French spies and
their equipment were slowed
beneath the deck Of the British
Motor Torpedo Boat. It was an
unwritten rule that in all such
operations the men to be landed
remained below deck and never
communicated with any men,
Der of the landing crew.
Although the storm had less

windy. About mid-channel COM
plete darkness had fall e n.
Speed was cut to 20 knots. The
motor made less noise ut, this

travelled slower. Since the in
vasion the Germans had become
doubly alert along the coast they
still controlled. They were afraid
of q second invasion. Planes
could be heard approaching but
none Of them spotted the boat
in the murky night.
AS they came close to rocky
island about 20 miles from the
coast, q lighthouse suddenly
flushed it, beacon. This was bad.
It meant q German convoy was
close by. Sure enough. Through
the rain could be seen three
large ships. The motors on the
NTH were Gu to idling and the
boat drifted. The crew was
tense. They Just had to sweat II
out until the convoy passed, hop
ing they wouldn't be seen.
For IS minutes the dark
shapes moved slowly past. The
last ship seemed headed straight
for their boat. II they tried to
move to get out Of the way they
surely would have been detect

But the ship suddenly turned
and passed within 100 yards OF

was out Of sight the beacon went

course to the coast.
