Edward Poch, 706 Fig St. wai reported yesterday to have died in the tame disaster. Word of Elechkoa death was received by his mother from the War Department, which lists him ns killed in action on that date. Information came from the International Red Cross, which received an official Japanese list of victims of the sinking. The men were being transport eel north from the Philippines when the ship was sunk by a sub marine, it was reported.

Elechko was captured when Corregidor fell to the Japanese May 7, 1942. A veteran of seven and one-half year- of Army serv ice, he had been in the Philippines since October, 1941, and was serving with an ordnance 'unit at the time of his capture. Reports to the War Department indicated that the ship left Manila Oct. 11, 1944, carrying 1,775 prisoners of war. It was more than 200 miles from the China coast when it was sunk by submarine action.

Five prisoners reached the coast in a small boat and four others were said to have been recaptured by the Japanese, who said all others aboard were lost. They are presumed to have died, in view of the circumstances, the War Department stated. Two postcards from Elechko received about a month ago, said he was in good health and ac knowledged receipt of a package and letters from his family in March, 1944. He asked them to send "the limit of dehydrated food, vitamins, spices, dried fruits cocoa malt and sweets. A former North Scranton Junior High School student, Elechko was a member of St.

Stanislaus Church.

Gen. Earl S. Hoag's European Division of the Army Air Forces Transport Command in London, according to recent word from headquarters there.

The pilot is Lt. Jack T. Race, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nile B.

Race, Crystal Lake, near Carbondale, and husband of Mrs. Kathryn A Race, 12 Canaan St, Carbondale. A former University of Scranton student and a former flight instructor at Scranton Airways, nis experience ranges from flying Bitish officers from plain open fields to transporting high German officers to thq peace table at Rheims, France, a few days before V-E Day. Flying a Douglas C-47, Lieutenant Race was assigned as pilot to Maj. Gen.

Sir F. W. DeGuingand, Montys chief of staff. As such, Lieutenant Race often flew Montgomery or. special flights.

On some of the hops that we made with high British officials," said Race, we had fighter escort. We were that close to the German lines. Lieutenant Races assignment was no easy one. As the Allies advanced. headquarters were moved and frequently there were no airfields available at the, new sites.

In that case, he explained, we just flew around near the headquarters until we found a suitable field. Then we would fly low over the field and inspect it. If it looked suitable we set down on the strange field. One of the features of the C-47 is that it can be landed at comparatively slow speed and it is a rugged ship -that can take the bumps. I never flex Monty into such a field but I have flown his staff officers out of such fields, and believe me, some of those places were never meant for airplanes.

Serving with the 21st Army Group from last July until early June, Lieutenant Race enjoyed an unusual distinction. He never had to obtain the necessary clearances to take off. Frequently, he took off on special high-priority missions when other planes were not permitted to leave the ground. His last special mission flight came a few days before V-E Day when he flew Gen.
