Ohio Surges Over Banks-;
7 Killed; War Output Hii

Tho Ohio river, out of Its

at Chicago reported, and clearing

Tho cold, extending below freez

runoff, and thus give the river
an opportunity to drain its crests.
Report Crests
Louisville, Ky., where a 45

day, reported 1.55 inches of rain.
Pittsburgh, at the confluence of
the swollen Monongahela and
Alleghany rivers which form the
Ohio, reported precipuauon

Similar conditions prevailed
along the watershed. L.iarKs
burg, W. Va., had 1.73 inches.
Check Expected
Cold air moving across south
ern Illinois and southwest In
diana changed the rain to sleet,
and by freezing the ground was
expected to check the runoff.
Temperatures of below freezing
were expected to cover most of
the Ohio valley by nightfall.
Tho cold spell, the weather
bureau said, will be of short
duration, and be followed by
clearing and warmer temper
atures from Minnesota south

Officer Shoots Sergeant Trapped in
Burning B-25; Freed of Manslaughter
By CLYDE A. FARNSWORTH
KUNMING, March 2 (Delay
ed) (IP) An officer at a forward
American air base who fired
two mercy bullets into the head
of a flier hopelessly trapped in
a wrecked and burning plane
was acquitted today, ot volun
tary manslaughter.
A general court martial of
seven colonels drawn from the
U. S. 14th air force and as
sociated service organizations
returned the verdict after hear
ing 10 witnesses piece together
one of the most soul-searing
episodes of the war.
The defendant was a 31-year-old
lieutenant colonel, com
mander of a fighter group, vet
eran of 80 air missions, and
ranking officer at the base. The
accident victim was a 20-year-old
sergeant gunner in a B-25
bomber.
(No names were given in this
dispatch. Presumably censorship
withheld them).
The incident happened Jan.
18. Two other crew members
of the five-man bomber were
killed in the crash, which oc
curred when the craft overshot
thn rttnwav on returning to base
from a mission against the
enemy. The plane hurtled down
a fiO.foot embankment.
Witnesses said rescuers reach
ed the wreckage almost immed
iately. Three men were in the
flight compartment at the time
the pilot, co-pilot and the
sergeant gunner, whose duty on
missions was to man the twin
50-caliber machineguns in the
top turret.
Co-Pilot Dead
The co-pilot was killed in his
chair. The pilot was seriously
iniured. Both were removed as
flames spread through the plane.
As many as six men, Draving
gasoline flames from a broken
wing tank, took hold of the
sergeant's arms and shoulders
at one time, witnesses said, and
tried to pull him free, but he
was pinioned tightly about his
crushed legs Denina ine armor

seat. The wreckage had folded
in upon his legs when the right

Witnesses said that a long
effort would have been neces
sary to cut away the metal that
had snapped in on the sergeant's

bear trap, and that physicians

amputate the legs.

All hope ol rescue naa peen

the lieutenant colonel, standing
off about 15 feet, fired twice
at the sergeant's head where it
showed in the wreckage of the
flight compartment.
(The dispatcn cua not say
what fire fighting facilities were
available).
No Defense
At the court martial, which
sat throughout the afternoon in
the recreation hall of an air
force hostel here, the defendant
elected not to testify In ms own
behalf.
The defense counsel, Lt. Col
John H. Hendren of Kansas City,
Mo., rather than base his case
on a contention tnai ine snoot
ing was indeed an act of mercy.
brought out testimony intended
to show that the defendant naa
acted irrationally under great
emotional strain. r
The main pillar of the de
fense, however, was medical
testimony that the con
dition of the victim's body,
when finally recovered, left a
reasonable doubt that the
sergeant had indeed died from
the bullets rather than from
burning.

growers are receiving notices

In tetlegrams to Senators Cor

may result in a 2500-acre reduc
