The navy; announced the fes cue ' Saturday, adding that . : all seven of the airmen who, with Rickenbacker, were forced down by an empty 'gas tank October 21, had nowbeen accounted for. But one, Set. Alexander Kaczmar exyk, died on the raft and was buried at sea. With the celebrated" World war flying ace on the raft were col. Hans C. Adamson and Pvt. John F. Bartek. It was they who watched Kaczmarczyk succumb to exposure and hardship. It was they who buried him. . Three more of the Rickenback er party Lt. James C. Whiteaker, Lt. John J. De Angelis and staff Sgt. James Reynolds, were found on a small island in the South Pacific. - The rescue at sea of Capt. William Cherry, the pilot of ; Rickenbacker's plane, was an noanced Friday. Thus, the roll call of the group was complete. Rickenbacker, 52 years ? old, with another of his many close brushes with death safely behind him, was reported in good condi tion, as was Adamson. Bartek'a condition was serious but he was expected to recover. . The condition of the men found on the island was not reported immediately. A naval medical of ficer was flown to their speck of land at once and all will be re turned to a specific naval base. Poll Taxers Filibuster Senators Arrested . To Raise Quorum; ! r Order Attacked WASHINGTON, Nov, 14 -(P) - By the unusual expedient of or dering its sergeant of arms to arrest absentee members, the senate summoned a quorum Sat urday f or a filibustering discus sion of the - measure to abolish state poll taxes as a prerequisite for voting in federal elections. f For three hours and 42 min utes after it convened at noon, a minority of, the senate : sat twiddling thumbs while Ineffec tual ; attempts were made to ob tain a quorum of 49. Finally, after an hour and a half of waiting had produced only 44 members. Democratic Leader Barkley of Kentucky moved to instruct Vice President Wallace to issue warrants for the arrest of all absentees who could be lo cated in the District of Columbia. It was more thtn two hours lat er that McKellar, placed under technical arrest af his apartment In a downtown hotel, walked into the chamber to make the 49th senator recorded present. ' . j ; Senator Bilbo (D-Miss), who ' told reporters he thought he was good for 80 days of talk if it was necessary to speak that long to kill the bill, immediately 'took the "floor with a defense of the prom ised leigthy debate. ; -' Bilbo spoke about two "hours and then the senate quit for the day. Before it adjourned. Bark ley called on senate employes , to inform senators they were need ed: in Washington and to return from their homes. " ! Because the senate adjourned Instead of" recessing, the anti-poll tax measure reverted to its status of Friday, when Barkley original ly moved to bring it up. Thus it was open to a new attack on a point of order such as that over ruled Friday when Senator La follette (Prog-Wis), presiding, held that it had been properly reported by the judiciary com mittee. Another effect was to deny Bil bo any special privilege in at tempts to obtain the floor Monday. ' '" A. C. NINETY -SLCOND 1 A Jlie Allies Pinch.
