new type of fire fighting equipment, to save lives Instead of property, was demonstrated today by the Army Air Forces materiel center here. The problem was how to get passengers out of crashed and burn- Ing planes. Hie solution presented by the experimental engineering division of the center was to smother the flames long enough to permit the rescue. At the edge of the landing field, some scraps of and 'uselage assembled to simulate a crashed plane. The wreckage was soaked In gasoline, and then touched off.

From its position nearby, the rescue squad rushed In with a tank truck spraying carbon dioxide gas from wide nozzles fixed on tho front of the truck and on a long overhead boom, driving the equipment to within five or six feet of the flames. Water was used in smaller amounts to cool the surfaces of the "plane." TKe fire disappeared wherever the force of the carbon dioxide gas was directed. With this equipment, said Brig. Gen. F.

O. Carroll, chief of the division, rescuers, without asbestos suits or other protective equipment, fiad approximately three minutes to enter the plane and remove any passengers. As soon as the smothering gas Is cut off, the flames burst out again, and the job of extinguishing the fire is- left to conventional fire-fighting London Wonders About Changed Appearance of Adolf Hitler Films Seen by Kiivanis Club U.

Three of the bombers were miss- nig, but the communique said a "number" of enemy fighters were destroyed when they attempted to Intercept the raiders over the target area. A joint bulletin from the air ministry and headquarters of the United States Army, European theater of operations, said Allied fighters also made sweeps over enemy territory without encountering air opposition. By LEWIS HAWKINS LONDON. Dec.

Adolf Hitler's jowls, and whether they and their owner have grown fat and flabby, stirred considerable discussion In London today after morning newspapers published a series of pictures purportedly show-' ins the Fuehrer addressing Nazis at the Munich beer hall Nov. 8. These pictures showed Hitler with toiiselcd hair rather sagging jowls, pouchy eyes, a double chin and an enlarged midriff, compared with previous pictures. They were released to the London Press by the Ministry of Information picture section. The Daily Mail said a man who knew Hitler at, first believed the series was not authentic, but on closer examination was convinced it was, and commented: "The physical degeneration revealed here is so marked that the mun is hardly recognizable.

"The fatness he has developed looks like the fatness of ill health, not the fatness of over-eating." Other newspapers in their cal- tions also suggested the idea that fatty ill health was depicted. Comment first was stirred by comparison with another picture, received by the Associated Press of was captioncd as a picture of Hitler taken on the same occa-- sion although not in the same place in the beer hall'or In tho same pose. This latter picture showed no marked difference from photographs of Hitler taken some time ago. but differed sharply from today's published photos. In addition to the lack of fnt In'the Associated Press of Great Britain copy, there also were differences in uniforms, neckties and medals.

Asked about the apparent discrepancies, the Ministry of Information picture section said the pictures which it released were of "German origin" and received through neutral sources. If the man pictured in the photographs the newspapers used is one of Hitler's "stooges," a spokesman for the ministry added, "that does not hurt our case any." Two moving pictures were presented nt the Kiwanls luncheon Tuesday. One'dealt with the train- Ing of U. S. sailors and merchant seaman to carry on the war and the other with the fight china has made against the Japanese, and the need of American supplies for China.
