EVACUATE WINNIPEG - Rescue vehicles, chained for safety and loaded with flood refugees, "sail"
through a flooded underpass In Winnipeg, Canada, where 160,000 women and children have been aslced
to evacuate the city to give floodfighters more room to combat the ever-rising waters of the Red River.
Brigadier R. A. E. Morton, flood control chief in the area, said "This Is going to be a lot worse before
it gets better."
A statement has been made that the sheriff It no longer consid
ered a major law enforcement officer. Section 93-933 clearly
states quote: "The Sheriff Is the chief executive officer and con
servator of the peace of his county," unquote. The code further
clearly sets forth the other duties of the sheriff.
In soliciting your votes in the May 19 primaries, I, Ray Marks,
Republican candidate for sheriff, say that I will accept ALL of
the responsibilities of this office.

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

jobs of the war.
Lillyma always jumps with a
cigar clamped tight in his

. He tells in horror of the first
morning in Normandy, where
he spent the longest and loneli

at me and sniffed," he says.
"And in the dark, I aged five
years until it dawned on me

times our total annual energy re

radiating more energy than it re

said ideas for taooing the huge

pensive.
Benedict estimated that by im

porting oil, we may struggle
along for about 200 years, "per

on unrenewable fuels such as
coal, oil and natural gas.
Northern Californian
Charged With Murder
Red Bluff, Cal., May 13 W.P.)
Silas Johnson, 43, Tehema coun
ty farmer, tonight stood charged
with the murder of his cousin,
Robert Johnson, 49. in what
authorities described as an old
fashioned wester n-style gun
duel.
The complaint against Silas

with the accused man from
Sparks, New, where he was ar
rested yesterday on a tip from
California authorities.
Moor said Silas claimed the

bullet-riddled body of Robert
was found in a dry gulch not far
from Silas' home, 13 miles west
of here.
