Firemen were summoned by Mrs. William Shorter who reported a fire in the woods. "I knew there was snow and the woods couldn't burn, said Vo-gelsong, "so I thought it must have been a plane crash." Vogelsor.g said much of the first rescue work was directed by Tech. Sgt. Charles Riddle of New Cumberland, home on furlough who had been a member of the fire company.

"He knew just what to do because of his experience on a crash crew in north Africa," Vogelsong said. Welfare Committee Distributes Baskets Clear Lake The welfare committee of the Civic League distributed 14 baskets of Christmas supplies to Clear Lake families Saturday in anticipation of the holiday. A good supply of canned fruits and vegetables and other foods was obtained from the free show at the Lake theater in the morning. Mrs. Arthur Johnson, chairman of the committee, was assisted by Mmes.

m. Monday. The Middletown army air service command, announcing the casualties, said names would not be released until next of kin have been notified. Fifteen injured men were brought to the Harrisburg General hospital. Vogelsons said the plane was crumpled against a tree and that a wing and 1 engine were on fire when he arrived shortly after 5 a.

Sunday in a hospital at Rochester, Minn. Taken ill a month ago, he was taken to Rochester Dec. 11, suffering from a liver condition which did not respond to treatment. He had been in a coma 4 days. Mr.

Marshall was a member of the state rehabilitation commission and co-chairman of the Cedar Rapids postwar planning committee both of which he had been working diligently for many months. He was deeply interested in the welfare of returning service men and had completed a business survey of Linn county to help prepare the way for their employment. Born in Cedar Rapids, the son of the late Gazette editor, Harry L. Marshall, and Emily Kirkland Marshall, he attended Coe college and the University of Iowa. He One Man 's Opinion Continued From Page 1 Utah beachhead, Omaha beachhead and perhaps some others that have been opened since my time in the European war theater.

And that brings metto the second of the miracle to be discussed in this commentary. TECHNIQUES employed at these beachheads are something new and wonderful. In most respects they are in flagrant disregard of all the rules developed by sailors and longshoremen down through the centuries. I can, imagine that many of these mariners of other days are doing a "whirling Joe" act in their graves in contemplation of the unorthodoxy of these beachhead operations. My own trip across the channel from a port city in South England was on an LST meaning "landing ship for tanks." We rode into the beach on a high tide.

The next morning the tide had receded and our ship, a little more than a block long, settled down on its flat bottom on the sandy beach. Straightway the crew began lowering the bow of the ship. It became a platform and the trucks and tanks which constituted our cargo began rumbling down that inr- chases and taxes, that wonderment too would have been wiped away. I saw and felt a complete answer to both questions on this 2-day trip from Cherbourg to Paris. TN addition to this line of traffic of which I have spoken there was the Red Ball route.

When I was in France, it was in its infancy. Since then it has been developed to the extent that historians. I'm quite sure, are going to refer to it as another of the transportation miracles of this war. Red Ball transport bottoms on the principle of 24-hour travel by huge trucks over loop roads one way up to the front where the supplies are needed and another road back to the shipping base. Red ball routes are reserved for Red ball vehicles.

Those who man this transport system, including the military police along the route, are specially trained. Drivers work in shifts. Each truck has 2 drivers. One sleeps while the other drives. Stops are made only at regularly designated places along the way.

Trucks are maintained at a high degree of mechanical perfection by special Red Ball mechanics, at the terminals and along the way. The drivers themselves, many of whom are Negroes, are skilled mechanics as well as good drivers. It was upon the Red Ball organization that Patton depended as he scurried with his army into France. It's upon the Red Ball organization that our boys fighting along the western front today are dependent for their vast volume of supplies. Surely if there are any miracles in this war, the Red Ball transport will have to be listed among them.

THEN there's one more about which I'll speak in closing. It takes the form of a multiple pipeline from the channel port cities to wherever it is needed. Fuel oil and gasoline from ships lying at anchor in the harbors are carried to our fighting men through these hastily laid lines. The speed with which the layers of these pipelines work will be clear to you when I tell you that in those days last August when Patton was moving toward Paris at the rate of 10 or 15 miles a day, the pipelines were right there all the time to serve his army. As a matter of fact, on more than one occasion, the pipe layers were actually out in front of the American fighting men farthest forward.

Whistling bullets from enemy snipers served more than once to tell them that they were working too fast. That's my story for this time. Maybe I'll have more miracles to tell about in some later 1300 ON "THE MESSIAH," an original drama by Jean Holloway, inspired by experiences in the life of George Frederick Handel in connection with the writing of his famed oratorio of the same title, will be presented on KGLO-CBS' "Theater of Romance" Tuesday, at 7:30 p. m. The play dramatizes the Bible story of Christmas as it is used in Handel's "Messiah" and tells how he came to write the oratorio.

Well known radio actors will portray the characters. Handel wrote "The Messiah" at a time when his fortunes and his health were at a low ebb and when he thought he was through as a composer. A friend selected te words of an oratorio for him from Scripture on the subject of the Messiah. Handel was so moved and inspired by them and by the theme that he remained in his room for 22 days until he had finished the complete oratorio. A mixed chorus of 8 voices w-ill sing passages from "The Messiah" during the drama.

but failed to gain The uermans dropped para chutists near Stavelot and Beau-raing, intent on disrupting allied communications, but all were wiped out. Eise nhowers counterassault along the 25-mile southern flank was striking heavily toward Bas-togne, and against the Echternach shoulder on the nazi bulge. Gains of 1 to 3 miles were reported in 24 hours up to Christmas morning. Fierce fighting thundered around American-captured Chau- Imont just west of the Arlon-Bas- togne road, and doughboys were gouging out steady gains east of the road. They pressed north of Bieonville, cleared Arsdorf and pushed close to Neuenhausen miles farther northeast, A few miles farther east Ameri cans gained near recaptured Heiderscheid, 8 miles west of Diekirch.

German attacks were repulsed at Heiderscheid and at Kehmen 3 miles farther northeast. In other advances south and east of Diekirch, Americans took Mostroff, 4 miles south of Vianden where the nazis originally broke across the Luxembourg border in their Bastogne drive, Mortrof is 9 miles northwest of Echternach Elsewhere on the western front German patrols were active along the Maas (Meuse) river in Holland. Patrols were active on the 7th army front near Wissembourg and along the Rhine, and north of Colmar the allies entered Benn- wier. (Berlin said Schiesseck fort of the Maginot line north of Bitche on the Tth's front had been recap tured by the Germans, with Bun- denthal 7 miles northwest of Wis sembourg also retaken.) The allies Monday sent out more than 4,000 planes, some 600 of which directed their blows at sealing off the battle bulge in the rear line rather than in frontline attacks. BREAK NAZI CELEBRATION Authorities Use Force at War Prison Camp Phoenix, (JP) A nazi celebration of western front victories was broken up with clubs at Pa-pago park war prisoner camp near here shortly before 5 Germans escaped, Col.

William A. Holden, commandant, has disclosed. Holden said army guards had to resort to force in endinjr a demonstration Saturday by a "couple hundred" prisoners in one of the camp's compounds. Only 6 of the escapees, all sub marine omcers ana men, nave been apprehended. The ranking member of the group is Jut.

L-oi. Jurgen Wattenberg, 43. Many of those at large speak several languages. Preliminary investigation, Hold en reported, indicated the sailors escaped by scaling an 8-foot double-wire barbed fence. "We hesitate to say exactly what happened until the investigating board of officers reports," Holden declared.

The camp was "alerted and pre cautionary measures taken Saturday morning because I felt some thing was in the wind, the com mandant said. Some of the prisoners may have fled during the demonstration but Holden said probably most of them got away during a severe rainstorm Sunday evening. Saturday's display by the pris oners, Holden declared, "osten sibly was a combination celebra Hon ot von Kundstedt success and Christmas." The activity was mainly singing and shouting. The escape served to make public a war rumor long current in Phoenix that Guenther Prien, Germany's famed U-boat commander, was prisoner here. Prien, decorated by Hitler for sinking the British battleship Roy al Oak at Scapa Flow in 1939, did not escape, said Maj.

YOUTH ARRESTED FOR AUTO THEFT Admits Taking Dozen Cars in Past 9 Weeks Osage Deputy Sheriff Lewis Haberkorn arrested 17 year old James Bower of Osage who is being held in the county jail on a charge of automobile theft. The arrest followed the theft of a car of George Tupper.

The lad, who had been under suspicion, was taken from a theater by the officer, and after questioning he admitted taking a dozen cars during the past 9 weeks. In explaining his misconduct, the lad said, "I just wanted to learn how to drive. I've never had a chance to learn." When but 9 years old the boy was sent to the Toledo industrial school and later to the training school for boys at Eldora. He was paroled and spent some time near Mason City where he worked for farmer. He then went to Osage and lived with his father and stepmother and their family of 6.

The boy told officers that sev eral times after he had stolen cars he had to abandon them because he was unable to manipulate them. The chief damage was to bearings and clutches. On 2 escapades he took cars be longing to Harvey Norby and Clif ford Lewis, lost control of the ve hicles near Osage and drove over small trees and stumps before he succeeded in stopping the cars. The boy tried to get into the navy but he was turned down because of a foot ailment. He was toldlo go through selective serv ice He is hoping he will be given a chance to enter the service next month.

Sheriff Theo Horn said because he is a juvenile he will be taken before the district judge on a charge of operating cars without the owners' permission. JURY LOOKS AT CHAPLIN, BABY Officially Compare Facial Characteristics Los Angeles, (JP) The jury in Charlie Chaplin's paternity trial Tuesday officially compared the physical characteristics of 14 month old Carol Ann Berry ana the man Joan Berry accused of being the baby's father. Joan's counsel. Joseph Scott, asked the court for permission to have the jury study the 2. It was a dramatic moment when Chaplin and the baby, in her mother's arms, stood in front of the jurors.

Baby and mother were about 8 feet away from Chaplin. Chaplin stared at jurors. Joan stared at them, too. The baby, who had been gurg ling all morning, was quiet. After standing there for 30 or 40 seconds, during which time there was not a sound in the court room, the judge told Chaplin and Joan to take their seats.

In granting the permission, the court said that neither attorneys could make any comment and that the principals were to remain silent. As Chaplin walked to his chair, he glanced briefly at Joan and Carol Ann. Scott was unsuccessful in an effort to introduce a photograph of Chaplin's 2 sons, Charles, and Sidney, when they were The comedian's lawyer, Charles E. Millikan objected, and Judge Henry M. Willis observed: "As far as possible in this case, I want the jury to indulge in no imaginative speculation.

When you get to comparing photographs you are treading on dangerous ground in getting satisfactory evidence." "When you were younger," Scott asked Chaplin, "was your hair straight or curly?" "It was more or less curly," Chaplin replied. Carol Ann's dark hair is riotous ringlets. in Canadian Troops Take Rossetta in Italy Rome.

-v" WH' i I if-. 'k t-S platform, out on to the pavement hard sand and up over the precipitous embankment, studded with concrete nazi pillboxes which had to be neutralized before our iads went ashore on D-Day, That's the way thousands upon thousands of trucks and tanks have been taken into Eurcpe. Fighting men by the hundreds of thousands have been trans ported by ships known as LCIs landing craft for infantry. Their sides rather than their bows let down to form platforms. Ship crews since the earliest days of water navigation have been taught that the one thing above all others they mustn do is let their ships become beached.

And to think that a war is being won by violating that cardinal rule! BUT not all of the supplies for the European front are being taken in by flat-bottomed ships. As much, and probably more, is being taken in by giant Liberty and Victory ships and over those same beachheads for the most part. That's where the little amphibious vehicle known as the "duck" comes into the picture. These ships of conventional design have to anchor from a half mile to a mile out from the shoreline. Getting the cargo ashore from that position is the problem and that problem is solved by the ducks.

They're on the beachheads by the thousands. You fix your gaze on just one of them. It scoots down across the beach and noses into the water. Soon you note a little agitation in the water at the rear of what has been a truck and it isn't a truck any more. It's motor boat or a launch.

Then you see it cut a path out to one of the big ships lying at anchor. There's a crane arm suspended with a netting bag filled with just the right amount of cargo. This is quickly lowered into the cargo department of the duck, which straightway putt-putts its way back to the beach. Other ducks, by the dozens and by the hundreds, are on hand to repeat the process 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. THAT, sketchily, is how the great bulk of the supplies for our fighting men is going into Europe.

Its volume simply staggers the imagination. Its enormity is beyond the comprehension of one mind. But on my way from Cherbourg to Paris, I gained some conception of it. We didn't go the short route. We couldn't because that direct road was still a part of the battle line.

We had to go a circuitous route, down through Rennes. What normally would have been a 6 or 8 hour journey required 2 long days in our lumbering, command and reconnaissance car. And during that entire trip of ZZo miles, our car was a unit in one grand caravan of tanks, trucks, jeeps. C. R.

cars everything that would roll. WEV fE traveled through a veritable t-alley of demolished trucks, tanks and vehicles too. These had belonged to the enemy. He had left them behind in his hurried retreat before the columns of Gen. Patton only a couple of weeks before.

Some had been destroyed by our bombers or by artillery fire from our guns. Others had broken down and been demolished by the nazis. The well-observed rule was never to leave anything that could be of use to our fighters. When these blocked the road, as often they did, they were pushed aside by our bulldozers to make way for our own tanks and trucks. Every block or so we would see where bombs or shells had fallen.

The craters thus made bad to be filled in hastily. The re sult vas either mounds or depressions in the road surface that made travel in a C. R. car a bit rough. UT the thing that impressed me most was the enormity of this procession of which our vehicle was a unit.

MERCHANT LEAPS TO DEATH Note Says "Lady Robin Hood" Had Ruined Him New York, (U.R) Oscar Grop- per, 57, Fifth avenue leather goods merchant, leaped to his death from a hotel window early Tuesday leaving a note which said the "Lady Robin Hood" bookkeeper who gave away $40,000 of his money had ruined him financially. Gropper wife, Estelle. and his daughter, June, were asleep in the apartment when Gropper plunged to his death at 1:15 a. m. He had donned a pair of trousers over his pajamas and was wear ing bedroom slippers which fell several feet from where his body struck the pavement.

It was learned that Gropper left 3 notes, one each to his wife and daughter and a 3rd to his attorney, Millard Ellison. The note to Ellison was reported to have contained Gropper's statement that his former bookkeeper's gifts to fellow employes and friends had ruined him. The serio-comic preliminary to Gropper's death began last Dec. 8 when Mrs. Marline Dunnigan, 22 year old wife of a navy yard worker, walked into the New York district attorney's office and confessed that she had been financing her personal philanthropies with Gropper's money.

Asst. District Atty. Francis X. Clark said the $40 a week bookkeeper with the $100 a day heart began spending her employer's money last Jan. 1.

It was disclosed that she had kept some $2,000 of nearly $40,000 for herself and spent the rest in raises to other employes and gifts of cash and luggage to 50 soldiers overseas, some of whom she didn't know.
