Tokyo U.R) A small whale- boat, attempting to rescue seven men trapped on a wrecked Amer ican freighter in the sea off Hon shu island, was thrown complete ly over the wreck by giant waves, but returned to complete the daring rescue. The Navy told the story Tues day. It said the freighter Wil liam Eaton, abandoned by all her crew except Capt. Fred A. Solomon, of Walnut Creek, Calif., and Engineer John B. Williamson, San Jose, Calif., broke in half in stormy seas after going aground April 14. Five Sailors Volunteer Five sailors from the Navy tug Arikara, standing by to as sist the Eaton when the storm subsided, volunteered to go aboard to help the two stranded seamen. On a second try the whale boat reached the wreck, but sank. Its five-man crew scram bled onto the ship with Solomon and Williamson. Another volunteer crew took another whaleboat, with a life raft in tow just in case, to try again. A giant wave lifted it and the life raft completely over the ship and dropped it on the other side. The whaleboat and its five man crew turned around and came back through the wallow ing waves to the side of the Eaton again. This time all seven men aboard the Eaton were taken off and brought safely to the Navy tug.

Here is truly dramatic proof thnt Chrysler's great new Kirprower 180 III' V-8 engine design sets nn entirely new standard of elliciency nmoni? American passenger car engines! In this annual economy test, rigidly su)iervised, and limited strictly to stock car entrants, cars comix-ting are divided, by price and size, into 1 1 standard classes.
