THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1944 Sgt. James Hussong Relates Escape After Landing in France "The most thrilling part of it all," says Sgt. James C. Hussong, local airmail who turned up in England in February after his plane failed to return from its December 30th mission, "were the moments when I was hanging upside down out of the rear escape hatch of my plane, my-foot caught in the door, my body swinging up against the under side of the shio. and nothing but several thousand feet of space between me and the ground." Brown-eyed, 20-year-old Jim, looking more like the carefree high Bchool boy he was only a few short years ago than like a returned vet- DIAPER RASH Soothe, cool, relievo diaper prevent it with Mexsana, the astringent medicated powder.

Hussong, who lives at 413 Elizabeth street. "We took off early in the morning," Jim said, recalling the fatal fourth flight of the Liberator bomber of which he was tail gunner. "Making our formation over the southern North Sea, we climbed to the coast of France, proceeded to Germany, and dropped our bombs on the designated targets. "Returning off our targets and starting out for home on the prescribed course, we met some heavy fighter attacks over the French- German border. Our ship was knocked out of formation when a shell hit one engine.

We were unable to climb and stay with the formation, so we descended to medium altitude. There we were met by at least ten Focke-Wulfe ISO's, members of Hitler's famous 'Abbeville reputed to be his best fighters. "We carried on a 30 minute battle, diving for clouds all the time. But had-put shells into another of our engines, and the pilot signalled the crew to bail out, diving into a cloud for our benefit. "Just as prescribed in training, Ye started to bail out.

1 was the last to leave the rear of the ship but caught my foot in the escape hatch door and had some bad minutes before I pushed myself free of the plane, after seeing two of my crew members bail out of the nose." This was Jim's second experience with a parachute. The berth 10 which his 'chute carried him turned out to be the top of a large tree in a dense woods. It wasn't until the youngster had freed himself from his 'chute run away from the spot where he'd landed aerial spotters he explained, watched for abandoned chutes), and buried some of his flying equipment, that he noticed one of his feet was injured. "Funny," he says with a grin, "but it must have happened during the battle u- there, and I was too excited to notice it. "I removed the bullet and treated the wound with my first aid kit.

Finding a small timber" path, I followed it until 1 sighted a group of men near a farmhouse, and judged by their speech that I was in France. When one walked away from the group I approached him, identified myself as an American airman, and was ordered to follow him. "When I arrived at the farmhouse I found two other members of my bomber's crew; one of them was wounded in the shoulder and both had injured their legs when they fell, unlike myself, on hard ground." For the next several weeks Jim and his buddies were initiated into the intricacies of the French Underground, which he maintains "even the Germans fear."

St. Alban. The ancient ritual of "laying on of hands" was delegated to the Most Rev, Cyril Forster Garrett, Archbishop of York, and bishops, many of whom were close friends of "A.D." since undergraduate days at Yale.

At their new refuge they met three other members of their crew. In two weeks, Jim's- wound was healed, he was given civilian clothing and false identification papers, and together with a French guide he set out for Spain.

Also in the group were two Dutchmen and three Americans, not Jim's fellow- crew-members. Although the boy is reticent about disclosing-details of how the Underground works, he will tell you that they had amusing, thrilling times when their fluent guide was forced to explain their silence. None of them could speak French well. "Later we. exchanged our guide for another guide and set out on foot.

In 48 hours we had walked 42 miles and were safe in Spain. "There we (the Americans) contacted the American consul, spent a very pleasant 10 days internment in one of Spain's finest hotels, and were escorted to Gibraltar by the military attache to the ambassador. Issued U. S. Army uniforms again, we new to Bristol, England, were taken to a London prisoner of war home and were interrogated by U.
