The miner. William I'arsim. c»f Brookside, Alabama, was notified by the war department that his aon. staff sergeant Nolan Parson, was missing in action. About the eame time. United pre*. correspondent Walter Logan filed a dispatch from Allied air force headquarters describing a dramatic cwccapc from the Germans by numbers of an American bomber crew. Sergeant Parson was mentioned among the Americans who came back. Back home, the elder Parson and his wife didn't know who to believe —the war department or the United Press. The United Press didn't want any argument with the war department. So the Alabama bureau wired New York, and New York cabled Algiers, and all U. P. reporters In North Africa were put on the lookout for sergeant Parson.
