(Delayed) (JP) "So the engineer.the bombardier and I moved Bolick out of his seat and into the nose, and there he died.

We never had named the plane, but Bolick'sxchoice was 'Paper Doll' so call it that, will you?" Gallantry and unselfishness and even death are so commonplace among American airmen that sometimes they slip by almost unnoticed. Especially when there are other big events such as the hell that was Schwemfurt. At Schweinfurt we lost 60 Flying Fortresses and 600 Americans, and this overshadowed what hap pened on the "Paper Doll' even though Churchill came out the next day and personally con gratulated the "Doll's" surviving crewmen with "a good show, boys, and God bless you. "Everybody was happy, as Lieut. Miles McFann, 25 and husky, the navigator, tells it.

"We'd been through a tough time in the target area, but we hadn't been hit. I calculated we be over the irench coast in about seven minutes. "Then flak started and our ring wing was hit. Two fighter planes came in at us and one hit us from underneath." A rocket shell and a 20 mm hit the cockpit. Hits were scored too in.

the bomb bay, the rudder and the No. 1 engine. All told, 132 holes were counted later. "I went into the cockpit to see what had happened. "The pilot (Lt.

Robert H. Bo lick, of Washington, D. C), was slumped over, but straightened up long enough to right the ship arid motion to the co pilot to take over. Then he slumped again "Fred (Lt. Edward F.

Downs, 26, of Arlington, the co pilot), asked me to see what could do for Bolick. "Bolick had been hit in the face, leg and neck. I held his leg to stop the bleeding. In spite of his injuries he raised his hand in an effort to take over the controls again. "But he passed out.

"Then Fred, who hadn't said a word about being hit, told me he'd need help. He'd been hit in the right arm, the right side, the leg and knees, and was cut around the head." So the engineer, the bombar dier and McFann "moved Bolick out of his seat and into the' nflse, and there he died." McFann then went back to Bo lick's 'empty, seat facing the Myriad instruments, switches and controls McFann who's been trained as a navigator, not a pilot. Luckily he'd done some "puddle jumper" flying around his home town of El Dorado, and also luckily Bolick had let him handle the "Doll's" controls a few times in the air. So McFann took Bo lick's seat and hoped. "Fred would go in and out be conscious a while and then pass out.

"That's the way this gang of ours is guys who are up to any emergency and always thinking of their duty "We got Fred to the hospital and he's going to be all right." The "guys who are always thinking of their duty" included Sgt. Kenneth H. Stump, 21, left waistgunner, of Kutztotwn, Pa. Widow Is Heir William R.

After Duty In Sicily and Italy Charleston, S. Dec. 16. "The finest buoy I ever saw," said Lt. Franklin D.

Roosevelt, in describing his pleasure at sighting the first land marker off Charleston as he returned yesterday from eight months of duty with the Navy in the Atlantic and in the Sicilian and Italian campaigns. He described as "scratches" the shrapnel wounds he received in an engagement on Italian waters and discounted personal credit for his rescue of a wounded sailor from the bridge of a warship under air attack. "It's not the individual who counts in this war," he said. "I haven't done anything. Guys everywhere are doing a thousand things that turn out to be re markable jobs all over the world," Coxswain Nunzio Commarada, of Baltimore, whom Roosevelt rescued, recently transferred from a Navy hospital here to one at Washington.

The Lieutenant was entertained at dinner by Rear Admiral Jules James, commandant of the Sixth Naval District, and left for Wash ington "on Navy business." Cans Collected in City Area Today Tin cans are being collected in Harrisburg, Steelton, Penbrook and Paxtang today for the Harris burg Dauphin County Salvage For Victory Committee. Albert Schmidt, chairman of the com mittee, said at noon that while the collection will be far from those during the months when cans were more plentiful, the district: will make a good showing and probably surpass the last collection made two months ago. Schmidt asks housewives of the area to begin immediately the processing of cans for the next collection. The collection in the city was made by men and trucks of the ash bureau. The trucks were taken to a railroad siding at Seventh and Maclay where the Britain's Miners Seek Immediate Increases in Pay London, Dec.

16, (IP) A demand byThe Mine Workers Union for immediate wage increases ranging up to about $8 weekly for Britain's 690,000 coal miners produced the threat of a fuel crisis today. The government, warning of the prospect of a shortage, cut coal rations for home as much as 20 per cent some time ago, and a shutdown of the mines now might result in further reductions. The executive committee of the Mine Workers' Federation announced last night that it would press for a national minimum of $24 a week for underground adult workers and $22 for surface workers. The committee added it would present the demands at once to a national wage tribunal composed of union, employer and government representatives, if the employers declined to grant the increases. There is no national minimum at present, scales being set by districts, but the Laborite Daily Herald said the national mine pay without overtime, averages about $16.80 for underground workers and $13.40 for those on the surface.

Although the miners unions have pledged not to strike in war time, scattered walkouts have oc curred. Incendiary Bomb Plant Destroyed In Dallas Blaze Dallas, Tex, Dec. 16, IJF) The incendiary bomb casing plant of the Austin Bridge Company here was destroyed last night by flames from fiercely burning and exp od ing magnesium which cast a dazzling white glow visible to airliner pilots 225 miles distant. The loss was reported to be several million dollars. Despite the intensity of the heat, no injuries were reported.

Fire men operated either at a distance or behind shields. Flames raged fiercely for sev erai hours and began to wane about midnght. Firemen and plant officials said the fire could not be stopped until all the highly in flammable metal was consumed, probably this morning. The glow was so bright that: A Braniff pilot said he could see the light almost ps soon as he got into the air at Houston, 225 airline miles southward; a Braniff Airways hostass saw the glare when her plane left Wichita Falls, 140 miles distant; A newspaper could be read on the courthouse steps in the Dallas business district, three miles to the east; Sheriff Jess Sweeten of Athens, 80 miles away, phoned to say we can see the explosions plain; thty reach way up into the sky." J. W.

Williams, office engineer of the plant, said the loss in stock would be at least "several million dollars."
