putting out the fire which destroyed the 1250.000 mansion, including all ol Blng's prized horse racing and

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

Average Civilian Regards
Them With Awe is Plaint

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

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

"It was the fifth Jump that
