TVn Advanced South Pacific
Air Base, Dec. 11 (Delayed) (U.R)
Two marine fliers who had to.
dodge American bullets while
attempting to attract attention
of rescuers, have returned safe
ly to this base after spending
three days on a tiny atoll with
in gunshot of three Japanese air
bases off the southern coast of
Bougainville island.
Maj. Earl P. Paris, New Or
leans, La., and his radioman
gunner, TSgt. Alden E. Chris
tiansen, White Bear, Minn.
were rescued on the morning of
the fourth day by a flying boat
which landed despite the pres
ence of enemy bases within
three or four miles on each side
of the small island.
Paris, commander of a ma
rif dive bomber squadron
hS, told Marine Public Rela
tions Officer Second Lt. Penn
T. Kimball, New Britain, Conn.,
that he and Christiansen were
without food and water until
the third day after their dive
bomber was shot down by en
emy anti-aircraft fire during an
attack on Ballale island air
drome, about 10 miles off the
Bougainville coast.
The two fliers became sep
arated when they parachuted
from their crippled plane.
Paris swam for six hours and
finally reached a small atoll,
where he found no water, trees
or sign's of edible vegetation.
His shoulders and knees were
covered with sores where they
had been rubbed by his flying
suit and lifejacket during the
six hour swim and his bare
iejL were covered with coral

German Secret Weapon
Described by Witness
London, Dec. 21 UP) A German "secret weapon" a glider
bomb powered by rockets and controlled by radio was described
today in the first eyewitness reports of an attack on a recent big
allied convoy with the swift-
diving bombs.
The glider bombs, released by
eight nazi planes, all missed,
said two British marine officers
who added that the attacks
"looked like the day of a Mar
tian invasion was here."
Their account of the rocket
gliders was released coincident
with reports reaching Spain that
the German general staff had
decided to put a boasted "secret
weapon" into use immediately.
Robert Daley, a gunery offi
cer, said the bombs were car
ried by gliders about 25 feet
long and with 15-foot wing
spread. One glider was slung
around each of the eight twin
engined bombers striking at the
convoy.
This apparently was the first
multiple attack with the glid
er bombs. One such glider had
been reported used in a pre
vious attack.
The German bombers made a
head-on attack, Daley said, re
leasing' the gliders some dis
tance from the ships. By radio
control, they kept the gliders
on a horizontal course until
they neared the vessels, then
sent them zooming down. The
gliders trailed white smoke,
and picked up tremendous speed
in their dive.
Although none hit their tar
gels, one glider was shot down
a short distance from Daley's
own vessel, and might other
wise have struck home.
"The glider bombs exploded
when they hit the water, throw
ing up a spout and a big cloud
of black smoke," Daley said.
The Germans could make
them turn corners, he added,
and the gliders had brilliant red
lights, possibly for use at night.
One of the bombers also was
downed in this attack, made In
daylight.
