 ZONE PROBLEMS
(By The Associated Press)

ADJ IAAG fAooO(labC0 ANool
 There are some faint hints from Germany of some potential im- provement in the Western Zone set-up.
 One comes from Frankfurt, where the American, British and French occupation commanders have work ed out a plan putting into effect a new German government in the West. They are to meet tomorrow with the German Ministers Presi- dent to get things rolling.
 The fact that the conference is to be open to the correspondents is being taken as an indication that the Allies finally have ironed out the controversies which have delayed the program worked out recently in London. French doubts about the plan have held it up so far.

Filler Tells Tale
Of Sea Flight
Fatal to Pilot
Rescued After Nine Days
on Rubber Raft

BROWNSVILLE, TEX. - EstebaI
De Leon, ~26-year-old Mexican flier
suffering from nine days at sea OF
a rubber raft, told how his com
panion, a pilot, was lost after theiI
plane cra5hed in the Gulf Of
Mexico.
The flier related his story as the
Panamanian banana freighter Roa-
tan, which rescued him, steamed
up the Brownsville ship channel.
De Leon said Neil Womack, 81,
Brownsville pilot, was lost from the
bobbing, wave-tossed raft sometime
during the second night after the
crash.
The twin-engined DC3 the men
were flying crashed within five min
utes of its destination, Ciudad del
Carmen, Campeche, Mexico. It had
taken off from Brownsville.
The two managed to get onto the
rubber raft the plane carried.
De Leon said Womack became
delirious and was obsessed with the
idea his wife was waiting for him
and all he had to do was step from
the raft to greet her.
Shouts Name
Sometime in the night I was
awakened when he shouted my
name," he said. "But by the time I
became fully awake Neil was gone
from the raft.
81 shouted his name until l was
exhausted, but neither saw nor
heard him again"
The Roatan locked in Brownsville
harbor and an ambulance took De
Leon to Mercy hospital here.
Capt. E. A. Cough, master of the
Roatan, said the chief engineer,
Maurice Brannon, and Harry Carter,
a seaman, sighted De Icons raft
AZ miles north of Frontera, the
Roatan's last port of call in Mex
leo.
De Leon said he had no water
the nine days on the raft,
and for food only a bird and two
fish he managed to catch.
He prayed to Neuestra Sonora del
Rosario to either help or destroy
him. He said his prayers were re-
warded when he sighted the escu
craft.
The engines operated perfectly
they had almost reached their
destination, De Leon said.
Engine Catches Fire
"Then suddenly the left engine
began to miss, and Immediately
caught fire.
eve feathered the propeller at
1000 feet and 1 started to go back
and throw out some of the cargo
because we were losing altitude
"The right engine quit running
and we started down real fast. We
eveled out and stalled about 200
eet above the sea.
''The plane fell in from that alti-
ude.
81 received a few bruises, but
Veil was unhurt."
De Leon said he believed the plane
emained afloat less than a minute
nut that in that time the filters got
nto rubber life p%reservers and
aunched the life raft.
Once, before Womack's disappear
nee, either a shark or a heavy sea

He said that when he sighted the {
