Mrs. Crosby, former Actress Dixie Lee, and her four sons rushed safely from the fire, which was believed to have started from a short circuit. Bing was playing coif at the tuna. the orders were issued to the sub's commander. Actually the submarine reached the pre-determined rendezvous on schedule and stood in close to shore. After a predesignated signal, the refugees went aboard. The navy disclosed that had the plan failed, a second attempt would have been made the next night, but that may have had tragic consequences. For the morning after the submarine and its refugees departed a large Jap force landed. Two days after the American submarine left the scene of the rescue, her commander'! an nouncement was received at this south Pacific base. A day later the missionaries and children were transferred to a United States patrol boat in friendly waters for ultimate passage to Australia. The navy's announcement did not identify the submarine com mander or those rescued. RUSH FOR AUTO The rush on the sheriffs of fice for auto license stickers tapered off today to a few strag glers. Preliminary checks show in the neighborhood of 8000 tempo rary stickers were issued, about the normal number. Quite a few county autos are being left in garages, but they were more than offset by the autos of new residents, the sheriff's office said. The authorities again warned that car owners driving without a temporary sticker were liable to arrest. It was also cautioned that last year's license plates be left on the car, front and rear.

NEGRO SCIENTIST, DIES OF INJURY Dr. George Washington Carver's Chemical Dis coveries of Great Value. Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 8 (U.R) Dr. George Washington Carver, 70, who was born a slave and became one of the greatest of American scientists, died last night. He had been 4n falling health for several years, and last month suffered a fall from which he never recovered. He died in his home on the campus of Tuskegee Institute, where he had taught since 18S6. His chemical discoveries, es pecially of products that can be made from sweet potatoes and peanuts, Increased the income of the south many millions of dollars. Throughout his life he had preached crop diversifica tion and self-sufficiency, and last year was honored by the Progressive Farmers association for having contributed the great est service to southern agricul ture. Awarded Medal Dr. Carver was awarded the Splngarn medal in 1023 for his research in potash, peanuts and sweet potatoes, and the Theo dore Roosevelt medal In 1920 for distinguished service to science. He was an excellent painter. and the Luxembourg galleries of Paris wanted one of his paint ings, but he declined the honor. Native clays dug within a few miles of Tuskegee formed the base of his paints. Although he received offers that would have made him millionaire, he refused to leave Tuskegee, until last year when he did some research in Henry Ford's Detroit laboratories. His formulas would have made him very wealthy, but he gave them freely to the world. Dr. Carver never patented any of his discoveries. He was never married and left no rela tives. In 1940, he gave $33,000 what was left of his life sav ings after a bank failure to create a foundation to perpe tuate research in creative chem istry.

Air Borne Unit . By Chiles C. Coleman -United Press Correspondent Fort Bragg, N. C. U.R A parachutist to quote typical member of the Airborne Com mand la just Ilk any other fighting man except that his heart is little nearer to his mouth. The average civilian seems to regard us with awe," the 'chutist explains, "as if we were some sort of fanatical supermen, or with pity, feeling that we are lost souls in a suicide squadron. Actually we re just fellows with determination to do a Job." He's inclined to laugh when the word "suicide" is mentioned. "Thunder," grunted a lanky corporal, "the 'chute always opens and if it doesn't we've got a spare." Parachutists, to hear them tell It down here on these sprawling acres of training camp, are noth ing more than infantrymen who commute by plane. They admit a fellow gets lot of thrills and their outfit, they assert, is the "best and toughest in the army," but they claim statistics prove their lot is safe. "As safe as a guy crossing Main St.," a private pointed out. "He gets scared once in a while, too." Seek Quick Action And why do soldiers become chutists? Offhand they confess "we frankly don't know maybe we're, crazy" but given time to think about It someone will say he wanted action or wanted to go into combat as soon as possible. Another will interject he craved excitement. They all admit the first Jump gave them plenty of the last. Pvt. George Seal said he heard a parachutist didn't have to do KP or guard details. "That got me," he said, "but I never had to run so fast and so far so often before in my life, "Besides I was stuck behind a desk In my reception center wanted action. Well, I got it and now I m back behind a desk and not sorry to be there." Pvt. Ed Atkins, recalling his first Jump, said "I was a m!r ture of curiosity and nervousness and like everybody else, more afraid of hesitating or refusing v It lAefJ 0 In the door than of actually Jumping." 'Couldn't Believe If "My worst Jump was the third one. I really sweated that one out, but they come easier now." A volunteer from the regular army with two years experience in more orthodox military oper ations, Pvt. L. G. Carroll, said he looked forward to that first try for so long, building up to it as an obstacle he had to hurdle that when it came it was surpris ingly easy. "I thought it would be as tough as sticking my head in a lion's mouth," he explained, "and I had made up my mind to get It over with In a hurry. "Then it all happened so quickly and so much easier than I had expected that I couldn't believe it." Cpl. Herb Carney said, "Hell, I was too scared to remember, t Just saw the door come ud and the next thing I knew I was floating down to earth as com fortably as if I were in a swina That canopy above me sure look ed good." "It was the fifth Jump that really got my nerve. I hadn't Jumped for six weeks and had Just begun to realize what I was doing."
