But the delay may be due to traditional Navy devotion to the old-fashioned triple release parachute. Instead of ordering the safer type of parachute, the Navy is experimenting with a breathing instrument which will permit an aviator who drops into the water in his parachute to breathe under water for about five minutes During this live minutes, he could get out of his cumbersome triple-release harness. ILLUSTRATION OF DANGERS This, in itself, illustrates the dangers of the triple-release harness and is why the Eighth Air Force in England has junked it using the British harness instead. To get the full picture, it is important to that, when a man lands by parachute, he hits at a speed equivalent to a jump from a 16-foot building. II i he hits Uie water, lie goes under for a considerable depth When lie goes under, he has to cope with 720 feet of shroud lines con necting his harness to his para chute, and it is easy to get tangled up.

Also, if he is in the old triple-release harness, he has to undo a buckle under each thigh and another snap at his shoulder The single release, on the other hand, requires only the turn of a little box on the chest, following which the entire harness falls off. First developed in the United States, it has been adopted by the British, Germans and almost Navy in the But the U. S.

Naval of- ificers are experimenting with the single-release harness, but have made no decision. Most tragic fact about the Navy's slowness is that its aviators must come down in water nine cases out of ten, whereas Army airmen probably can avoid water nine cases out of ten. It is in the water that the triple-release parachute is almost fatal, as was demonstrated by experiments off Florida last summer, when 19 men wearing this type were dropped in the water. None would have survived had not "boats been standing by to pick them up. REPORT ON 10-YEAR-OLD TESTS In view of this, a report written by Colonel C.

L. Fike, U. S. Marine Corps, on Dec. 13, 1943, is especially interesting.

It is through Fike's report that the Navy justifies its delay in adopting the quick-release parachute. Col. Fike reported to the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics that the quick release had been tested out "several years and that the men did not like it because it was too bulky, got in the way, was worn in front rather than in the rear, and that sometimes men slipped through it while in the air. Naval officers admitted, however, that Col. Fike's report was based not on the use of the parachutes in actual jumps, but only on putting the quick-release harness on pilots and letting them get the feel of it on the decks of carriers.

Furthermore, these Navy tests were conducted between 1930 and 1933, at a time when the quick-release was not perfected. Col. Fike's report for the Navy on Dec. 13, 1943, was made six months after General Longfellow had reported from England on June 1, 1943, that "anything but a quick-release harness is murderous." Presumably, Col. was trying to justify the Navy's slowness.

ARMY FINALLY ACTS General Longfellow's report was diametrically opposed to Col. Fike's statement that aviators sometimes slipped through the harness. Longfellow said: "There has never been a failure of the box (single-release) reported." He also said that the RAF, since 1930, had used the single release 'for all personnel engaged in marine operations. And in 1932, due to its success and adaptability, it was adopted for standard issue for all purposes except for training." "The RAF 2ND ANNIVERSARY (Continued From Page One) In the central Pacific, Army, Navy and Marine fliers have joined forces to carry out assaults on four Japanese bases in the Marshalls. In the Southwest fliers struck a double blow at the much bombed city of Ra- baul, New Britain.

More than 100 tons of explosives were dropped in the two new raids on Rabaul. Timor Island, in the Dutch East Indies, also was attacked. Tokyo is adding to this long list of Allied air triumphs, saying that 33 United States bombers by nine Taroa, in the eastern Marshalls. The Tokyo report also says that American Liberators have struck at Port Blair in the Andaman Islands. The Andaman Islands lie in the Bay of 400 miles east of the Malay coast.

In India, British troops are reported to have strengthened their hold on the threatened garrison city of Imphal. The Japs attempting two drives on been pushed back. And to the about 60 miles, other British troops have captured an important enemy position, driving the Japs deep into the hills beyond the Imphal plain. Also from the southeast Asia theatre comes word that British war correspondents have gone on strike against censorship of the news. Five British war writers have stopped filing their stories after appeals to military leaders in Calcutta have had no effect.

The storm struck first at Franklin, tore east through Royston, Sandy Cross and Nuberg, and whipped into South Carolina where it flattened homes at Greenwood, Abbeville, Iva, and small communities in Newberry County. Red Cross disaster workers, doctors and nurses arrived here from Atlanta, Athens, and other cities before dawn and treated scores of injured by candlelight. An emergency field kitchen was set up to feed the homeless, and local residents brought bed springs and mattresses from their homes to set up an emergency hospital in the Methodist Church to care for the overflow of injured from two local hospitals.

BACK To WORK Jim Thomas, former captain of police and Ralph Hoover, night police officer, are back on the job this week after the new 26 year old limit draft law stayed their induction at the last minute. The two policemen had already been accepted by the Army and would have left for induction Friday morning. New draft orders halted induction of most men over 26 recently and the two policemen will not go for some time.

No plan has yet been worked out about the two new policemen who were taken on the force to replace these men.

Despite this urgent request on June 1, the Army ordered only 2,500 of this type of parachute more than four months later, on Dct. 20.

They were not finished until around mid-march. Mean- vhile in February, the material command of the Army Air Forces jot together with the Navy to try standardize their parachutes by jroposing the quick-release for services. The Navy, however, would not concur. And on March 9, the day this column revealed the Army's long delay in ordering what General Longfellow had requested, the Navy once again told the Army that it was opposed to the quick CAR CRASH VICTIM (Continued From Page One) Taylor, accompanied by his brother, Ijames and Richardson, was driving south on Highway No. 601 when the accident occurred.

A blinding rainstorm was in progress at the time. Sheriff L. S. Bowden called Dr. S.

A. Harding, coroner, who impaneled a jury to investigate the accident. The jury found that the four men came to their death when the automobile driven by Taylor crashed into the rear of a transfer truck which was parked by the right side of the road. The Jury found that the truck was surrounded by flares. The truck had been parked for mechanical repairs and the driver was in the truck at thp time.

The truck driver was not injured. The truck was owned by a Kannapolis firm. The driver of the automobile was discharged from the army recently, having seen extensive service in (he south Pacific area. The Taylor brothers are survived by the parents, Mr. and Mrs.

James Oscar Taylor; two sisters, Mrs. Jim Smith and Mrs. Norman Leach, both of Mocksville: and two brothers, Clyde Taylor, with thr United States Army overseas, and Roy Taylor of the home.

CITY GETS TAIL END OF TORNADO April is playing true to her reputation, in that we are having so many showers, of which are really storms. We seemed to have gotten a tag end of the cyclonic disturbance which caused the death of scores of citizens of Georgia and South Carolina, Sunday.

A window in Hefner's cafe was blown out about 2 a. m. Sunday. This was cracked before that time however, and the wind caused it to give way. Yesterday a series of showers were in order, and in some sections there were reports of hail, although no damage of any consequence was reported.
