 Six airmen who were catapulted into the air last Friday when an Air Force CAY "disintegrated" in flight told Monday night of their experience.

 Among the missing were It. Col. w. West-Watson of the Brit ish Joint Military Services Mis- sion on the US. Army staff at Washington, DC; and Capt. James Hill of the Army Field Forces at Ft. Benning, Ga.
 A ground party which battled deep snow IS miles to the scene of the crash from the little town of Curry, 75 miles southeast of here, Monday night reported it had found three bodies. -
 All six rescued men were suf- fering exposure, shock and var ious cuts and bruises received when they parachuted into the blizzard bound wilderness last Friday.
 None of them could explain the accident, which happened on a flight from Elmendorf to Ladd AFB, Fairbanks, 275 miles to the northeast.
 But to all six, the first indica- ton of trouble was a terrific down draft that tossed the plane like it was a feather. Two said they heard an explosion after ward
 The airmen reported similar ex- periences at the time of the ex- plosion. One said, "All of a sudden the plane dropped hard and then came back up again. I heard an explosion and found myself in the air"
 Three of the six had joined after reaching the ground and walked through snow to the smashed craft for arctic survival gear and food rations. The other three were spotted Is miles from Inc scattered wreckage of the CAT, WalloWing through deep snow.

Variety Children's Hospital is
dedicated to all the seriously sick
children in Florida - regardless
of race, faith, color, or financial
status. Thousands of youngsters
are treated each year for such
illnesses as rheumatic heart dis
ease, rheumatic fever, bronchitis,
asthma, polio, fractures. club feet,
etc. Donations from the general
public assure the success of this
wonderful program.
Are you doing your share to help
this Florida hospital? Don't let its
Miami address confuse you into
thinking that Variety caters to the
sick children of that municipality
alone. Those of you who have wor-
rledly followed the progress of po-
Ito, epidemics here in Key West
will remember that the majority
of victims have always been rush
ed up to Variety Children's Hos
pltal and that they received the
best of care without regard to the
financial status of their parents.
If you have a few dollars to
spare for one of the most worthy
causes in Florida, how about sit
