REPORT SAYS BIG
AIRMEN LIVING IN
FORCED SERVITUTE


Not even Chinese officials. have
been able to penetrate that savage
country to which the Lolos retreat
ed many centuries ago to escape
Chinese conquest.
Some authorities hold that the
Lolos are of Caucasian blood.
Many American airmen long
have believed that some of their
missing comrades parachuted safe
ly from disabled bombers when
the B-29's were being ferried from
India to China in 1914.
How many-if any-still live is
uncertain. The graves registration
service never has accounted for all
the missing, despite. diligent search
that has recovered some bodies and
located some graves.
Americans serving in this thea
ter recalled tonight that on several
occasions the wreckage of downed
planes was discovered without the
full complement of men, leading
to the supposition that some had
parachuted down to die in the wild
erness or become prisoners of the
tribes.

CLOAKS
DEATH OF WIFE
OF BOB REYNOLDS
Continued From Page One)

DR.. B. W. Leonard, who had called
to treat Mrs. Reynolds mother,
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, for a knee
ailment. The physician said he
tried for more than an hour to
resuscitate the daughter.
DR.. Leonard told police he and
the butler broke into the room
when Mrs. Reynolds mother be-
came alarmed at being unable to
raise her on the interhome phone
system.
Mrs. Mclean, owner of the ST.
600, 900 Hope diamond and an al
most legendary figure in capital
society, was confined to her own
room in the family mansion, a
rambling one-time monastery
which has seen many scintillating
parties since becoming the Mclean
estate.
Mrs. Reynolds husband, who
was chairman of the Senate Mill
tary committee when he retired
from office two years ago, was
visiting his farm at La Plata, Md.
and did not learn of his wife's
death until he returned several
hours later.
He had lunched with her before
leaving for the farm, and family
friends said she appeared in good
spirits, although she had been in
i'll health for some time. After
lunch, she retired to her room for
a nap, as was her custom.
The couple were married in a
quiet ceremony at Friendship on
Oct. 9, 1871, a little more than a
month before her 21st birthday. 1t
was the fifth marriage for Sena-
tor Reynolds, then 81. They have
one daughter, Mamie Spears Rey-
nolds, who will be four next month.
Mrs. Mclean, who always has
scoffed at reports that the Hope
diamond brings grief to its owner,
was in %seclusion today. She once
said of her daughter:
I'VE have a wonderful under
standing. We're chums."
Since acquiring the A Ia carat
diamond that once belonged to
Catherine the Great of Russia,
Mrs. Mclean has seen her son,
Vlnson, killed by an automobile
almost at thefgates of Friendship,
has received numerous crank let
lers, some of which were reported
to have threatened her life and
the abduction of her daughter, but
mas never hesitated to wear the
great jewel when she felt like it.
Mrs. Reynolds was the fourth
child of the late Edward B. Nc.
Lean, Washington publisher, anc
Mrs. Mclean. She was a grand.
daughter of the late Thomas F,
Walsh, millionaire Colorado gole
mine owner.
Like her three brothers, she
lived her infancy in a gold erik
presented to her father by King
Leopold of Belgium. Two of the
surviving brothers, John, now il
Texas, and Edward B. Mclean
Of Colorado Springs, are expected
for private funeral services Mon
day.
