Lieut.

He was the only survivor of an American medium bomber shot down by the Japs over New Guinea recently, being co-pilot of the bomber which crashed and sank in the sea after an 80-mile running fight. He was missing 28 days before being rescued. "The Japs swept down over me firing machine guns when I hit the water," he said. "They sank my chute.

I held onto my 'Mae West' (lifebelt) and stayed under water as much as possible while the bullets whizzed close. "None of them hit me and: after awhile the Japs beat it. Maybe they were out of ammunition." He praised the pilot, Lieut. D. L.

Rulison, who gave his life in an attempt to save the crew. "The Japs filled our ship with holes and a cannon burst wrecked our aileron. putting the plane out of control and making it fall rapidly," Lieut. Mitchell said. "The pilot gave the order to jump.

I pulled back my seat and grabbed my chute and tried to get lout through the pilot's escape dome, but the plane was falling so fast I couldn't get out. So Rulison shoved me out. "I hit something hard when I left and I believe that is how I fractured my ankle. I i didn't wait to get clear of the Death Takes Mrs. Sobieralski Mrs.

"I got back into the water again and after struggling for what seemed hours, some natives in a canoe picked me up and took me to their village.

They tended my wounds and gave me food. Then they carried me to an Australian camp." MARKETS AND FINANCE Market Trends NEW YORK Modest advances were fairly well sprinkled over today's stock market but buying reluctance was sufficient to hold many leaders in the rear ranks. Trends were a bit foggy at the start and, in the final hour, prices were uneven with small fractional variations predominating. Dealings were sluggish throughout.
