LININGER and SONS CORNER HAMRICK ROAD MEDFORD PHONE 2-5336 First Paratrooper Info France Still In Army, a Legend Fort Bragg, N. C. U.R The first paratrooper who landed in Normandy that June morning six years ago is still around, still with the army, and still in the same line of work. He is Capt. Frank Lyllyman of Skaneateles, N. Y. He led the first stick of 18 men from the first planeload of "pathfinders" for the 101st Airborne Division, to light the way for the main body, in the World War II invas ion of France. Two hundred men followed him on that trail-blazing mission the morning of June 6, 1944. One hundred and six came out alive. Last month, Capt. Lyllyman took part in the army's giant maneuvers in North Carolina which has been named "Exer cise Swarmer." This time he was a traffic director. It should be easy for a man who guided in aOO plane loads of 101st Airborne para troopers in the middle of the night in a strange country held by five German divisions. Lyllyman was the one you read about who spent his home' coming in a New York hotel with all expenses paid after he wrote a national magazine tell ing how he would like to have it when he got home. His wife and youngster had the fanciest room in the hotel. He had breakfast in bed, news papers read to him, a barber to unwhisker him, and so on through the list of luxury items. Legend in Army He is an almost legendary character. His picture lives in Army history books concerning Normandy. When it became ap parent he would be the first to jump into Normandy, a camera was strapped to his chest and his facial expressions were caught on the downward trip with the parachute above be- Harness Rays of Sun (or Energy Not Atoms Scientist Suggests Seattle (U P.) A harnessed sun, not atomic energy, may well be come our number one source of power. That's the belief of Frank R Benedict, engineering manager for Weslinghouse tlectric. He added that heat from the depths of the earth Is another tremendous energy potential, "if we can learn how to get hold of it." Benedict said development of solar energy as a continuous source of power "will etime any way, so we might as well lay a solid groundwork for the com ing generations." Atomic Power Limited "When our dwindling supplies of coal, oil, and gas are gone, hnrncsscd sunshine may well bp our number one source of energy." he said. "Limited amounts of the two fissionable elements uranium and thorium, will control the broad scale applications of ato mic power, But it seems very unlikely that atomic power will ever supply any large propor tion of our total energy require ment." Benedict said one practical way of capturing the energy now lost when the sun's rays are re flected off the earth's surface is by optical means, "the old mag nifying glass principle." "In this way." he explained, sunlight can be concentrated about 50.000 times to produce very high-temperature furnaces. Russia is reported to have a solar boiler operating with super-heated steam at almost 900 degrees lanrenheit. Research Under Way He said direct conversion of the sun's radiation into electrical energy is the engineer's dream. lie disclosed that intensive re search in photo-chemistry, thermo-electricity and photo-electricity is now under way in many nniversities. Benedict said the earth alone was capable of supplying 10 coming one of the best filming jobs of the war. Lillyma always jumps with a cigar clamped tight in his mocth. . He tells in horror of the first morning in Normandy, where he spent the longest and loneli est hours of his life. "A cow stuck her nose out at me and sniffed," he says. "And in the dark, I aged five years until it dawned on me what it was." times our total annual energy re quirement. However, with the earth, still radiating more energy than it re ceives from the sun, Benedict said ideas for taooing the huge 4ieat reservoir "are absurdly ex pensive. Benedict estimated that by im proving utilizing devices and im porting oil, we may struggle along for about 200 years, "per haps a maximum of 600 years," on unrenewable fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
