The searchers make strange discovery a signal

early morning and late evening, for the
same reason that the birds could not
fly. The thin, superheated air would
give chopper" rotors insufficient lift.
: The Army called in the man who
knew the ground best, Alexander Kar-
adzic, stocky, dark Yugoslav who was
an Raj captain and navigator during
World War II. Kara, as he is known,
now heads a company whose business
is clearing thousands of unexploded
land mines from old desert battle6elds.
The hunt begins
For the hunt, Kara recommended
trucks with outsized tires. Where
would the fuel come from? Kara hap
pened to know that near the Oasis of
Kufra the Italians, in lo4l, had aban-
doned a cache of gasoline. 1t was still
there, 200 miles closer than Benghazi
to the search area.
Eight or nine miles north of Lady
Be Good the searchers came upon
their first find - three fight boots,
carefully arranged in the shape of an
arrow, pointing due north.
A bit farther on, Fuller and Kara
came upon the tracks of five vehicles.
Kara guessed, correctly, what had made
them. On February Is, 1871, the Free
French under General Leclerc had sue
cessfully. attacked the Italian fort at
Kufra. 1t was reported, at the time,
that few Italians escaped in scout cars
and reached Benghazi. The weight of
a vehicle presses the pebbles into the
desert floor, and after a long period
sand filters into the depression. So
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-04

these old tracks are parallel strips of
sand cutting across the pebbles. They
had been there for ID years.
The Italian tracks were very clear in
June of this year so they must have
been clear in 1913. What would lost
airman think if he came upon tire
tracks? He would think they led to
civilization, of course, and he would
follow them. He would follow them
north, in the direction of the coast.
The crewmen of the LADY Be Good
must have been elated when they dis
covered these tracks. And it was true
that they did lead to civilization. What
the flyers did not know was that civil
zation was 400 miles away!
Following the tracks, as the lost fly
ers had, Fuller came upon another
arrow next day. 1t was formed from pie
shaped strips cut from parachute and
weighted with stones. Farther along,
the searchers came across six discarded
life jackets. One was stamped with the
name Woravka. That would be End 1t.
John S. Woravka, of Cleveland, the
bombardier. Another was marked Rip
singer - Technical Sergeant Harold
S. Rpslinger, of Saginaw, Mich, the
engineer.
Six p0Vuehvtes on the troll
In succeeding days they found six
more chute arrows on the trail. Along
side the seventh they found something
else "a square of parachute in which
had been cut triangular holes for eyes
and mouth.
The men Of LADY Be Good had
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-04

followed survival instructions. A para
chute, they had been taught, was their
last, best friend. 1t would carry them
safely to earth. If they landed in wild
country, it would provide shelter from
the elements. 1t could be used for mark
ers, headgear or as protective mask
against the sun.
To this point, the crew had walked
80 miles from the drop zone. Captain
James M. Paule, fight surgeon who
evaluated the conditions, had declared
that man on the move could not live
throug ii whole day in the sun without
water. In no case did he believe that
the crew could travel more than 20
miles. As part Of survival gear, each
crewman carried a canteen of water
hooked to his web belt.
Cuts - and hope
1t was apparent that the flyers must
have, at least in the beginning, needed
survival procedures exactly, travelling
only at night, resting under the shade
of their parachutes while the sun
blasted the desert. Also, they must
have been in superb physical condition.
And they must have had CUTS - and
hope.
Beyond the seventh parachute three
more shoes were found, still arrowing
north. Then the searchers came upon
an astonishing crossroads. The track
of the five Italian scout cars crossed the
track of large military formation 70
balloon-tired vehicles, moving abreast.
A careful examination Of the history
of the desert war reveals that these 70

mating it is. too.
Auntie Yvonne is the quiet
little woman in black. better
known to the outside world
as Nine. Charles De Gaulle,
and she's shaken this ultra
tolerant old city by launch
ing a wide-front blitz against
divorces.
No quarter in this battle.
First casualties are De
Gaulle's own personal secre-
tary, pretty Simone Servais,
and two colonies on his staff.
AL were with De Gaulle in
his Free French days, all gave
up good jobs to join him-at
his request-when he took
over power. But no matter
-. Auntie Yvonne has put
her foot down for they are
all divorces and they've got
to go.
Now Auntie is going
through the list Of l40 serv-
ants employed at the l8O-
room Presidents Palace.
Those who have been through
the divorce courts are getting
polite notes saying their serv-
ices are no longer required.
But that's not all. The ban
will also extend to presi-
dental lunches and dinner
parties which will cut down
the guest list like a runaway
bulldozer.
Biggest talking point
among the smart set: Does
this mean that the Windsors,
acknowledged leaders of high
society, are now persona non
grata with the De Gaulles?
