Three other airmen were

were listed as missing in the air
collision of a propeller-driven
B29 and an F86 all-weather jet
interceptor about 14 miles east
of Tyndall Air Force Base in the
vicinity of Mexico Beach just
outside Port St. Joe.
One of the B47s was from
MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa,
and the other was from Pine
castle AFB, Orlando. Each car
ried four airmen.
Landing Gear Trouble
Lt. Robert E. Johnson, public
information officer at MacDill,
said a preliminary investigation
indicated that the jet bomber
from MacDill had landing gear
trouble.
He said the Pinecastle plane
apparently flew underneath the
other bomber to check its land
ing gear and "must have hit a
downdraft and collided."

EMOTION PACKED REUNION Overcome by emotion,
former German prisoner of war Fritz Merten and his
sister, Margarette, break down in tears as they meet in
Friedland, Germany. Merten, one of 600 former German
soldiers freed by the Russians, hadn't seen his sister since
1935. Sadness marred his homecoming. His wife, who
hadn't heard from him, had declared him dead in 1949
and remarried. The 600 war prisoners were the first re
leased by Russia since repatriations suddenly stopped in
October.

there were no ground casualties.
The propeller-driven B29 and
the F86 jet were believed to
have collided in the air while
the fighter was making a gun
nery run on a target towed by
the World War II type bomber
only a few hours after the B47s
collided.
No One Hurt
The B29s nose landed on U.S.
Highway 98 close to a tourist
court where some 50 people
were staying but none of the
tourists were hurt. The falling
debris missed by only 20 yards
a man and his family in a car on
the highway.
Witnesses said the F86 crashed
inland about a mile from the
Gulf of Mexico but Air Force
helicopters and search planes
were not able to locate the
wreckage of the smaller craft
immediately.
The bodies of three of the
B29s crew were recovered and
identified and two others of the
crew and the F86 pilot were list-
ed as missing.

Disagreement on
Prosperiiy Boom .
Washington (U.R) Rival
captains 'in next year's battle
for control of Congress disagreed
today on whether voters will
credit the Eisenhower adminis
tration or the Democrats for
booming prosperity.
Forecasting a Republican vic
tory in the fight for Congress,
Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R-Pa.)
chairman of the GOP Congres
sional committee said:
"The thinking voter is going
to vote to keep the party of
peace and prosperity in power.
Why would they vote to go back
to Trumanism and waste and
high taxes?
But Rep. Michael J. Kirwan
(D-O.), chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign
committee, maintained in a sep
arate interview that Democrats
will not only capture and
strengthen their control over
congress in 1956 but will cap
ture the presidency, too.
"Every bit of legislation that
has promoted prosperity was put
on the statute books by the Dem
ocratic party," Kirwan said.
"Name one act the Eisenhower
administration .sponsored that
helped promote prosperity. Pros
perity will continue because of
Democratic legislation."
Huk Field Commander

Calma, labeled by Army in
telligence as one of the "most
ruthless field commanders" of
the rebels, was trapped in the
village of Santa Ana in Pam
panga Province some 50 miles
north of here Monday.
Woman Teacher Ban
Defended in Tokyo
Tokyo (U.R) A spokesman
for the Tokyo metropolitan
school board ' today defended
against newspaper criticism its
policy of barring the hiring of
women teachers who are less

"There are many difficulties
invol . ing teachers less than five
feet in height," the spokesman
said. "In outdoor activities it is
difficult to locate her, and in the
classrooms she will not be able
to reach, the top of the black
board." .....

I may shock you a mite, but
the month of February was
named after Febulia, the Roman
festival of purification. Histor
ians tell us that this month is
sort of an assistant cousin in the
family of months.
That is because the Roman
Senate robbed "Feb" of a couple
of days to make up a month

February for a moment, "Aug
ust" was named after August
Caesar who was disinclined to
play second cello to his uncle
Julius. Julius, already had it
made because "July" had been
named for him.
Calendar Problem
Anyhow, research at the Li
brary of Congress should ease
the minds of folks born on Feb.
29. The idea of these people get
ting presents only on every
fourth birthday is nothing but a
calendar problem, according to
one student of leap year.
"In reality," once wrote the
late author George Stimpson who
used to toil down the hall from
me, "there is no problem at all,
because none of us observe our
birthdays on exactly the proper
24 hours owing to imperfec
tions of tHe calendar.
"Every four years, the calen
dar is about 24 hours behind the
astronomical or true solar j'ear.
This difference is made up by
adding an extra day to February
every four years."

us to write It down that the
Gregorian calendar, introduced
by Pope Gregory in 1582 A.D.
put it this way:
Every year divisible by four
is a leap year, "with the excep
tion of those years whose num
bers are divisible by 100 and not
by 400."
If you are still with me and
can divide, maybe we can wind
up with the. same results:
The years 1700, 1800, and 1900
were not leap years. The year
1600 was ,of course.
And if you can add and figure
to stick around until 2000 (you
swains) you can look for another
year that will not be a good one
for the man-chasing Sadie Haw
kins clan.
According to history, the Gre
gorian calendar was a modifica
tion of the Julian calendar. That
one was introduced by the above
mentioned J. Caesar in 46 B.C.
The high minds of the Roman
astronomical society at that
early date fixed the solar year
at 365 days and six hours. The
six extra hours added up to a
slop over. But it was discovered
to thi amazement of: a lot of
people that the extra hours add
ed up to too much to make. the
