Five Still Missing As Result Os Crash Six B-29 Crewmen Are Saved Monday Nome. Alaska, Dec. 30. —(UP) — Bush pilots, army airmen and men with dogteams searched the icy slopes of Mt. Serpentine 100 miles north of here today for five men still missing as the result of a B-29 crash a week ago. Two of the missing men were crewmen of the Superfortress which crashed while on an Arctic training mission. The other three were paratroopers who dropped to the rescue of the B-29 crew but became lost in ah Arctic blizzard. All eight crew members of the B-29 which ploughed into Mt. Serpentine survived the crash. Six men who huddled in the wreckage of the plane were rescued yesterday by bush pilots. All were suffering from exposure. One had a broken leg and another had his face frozen. The missing crewmen, Ist Lt. Vern H. Arnett, Fairbanks, pilot, and Ist Lt. Frederick I. Sheetz, Keyser. W. Va., left the wreckage on Christmas day for Shishmaref, a small settlement 40 miles away. Air search had to be confined to four hours daily, the length of an Arctic day. Air force officials said they were not worried about the three paratroopers —their names wjere not released —because all were well-trained and fully equipped to survive in Arctic weather. The missing airmen were not dressed for the 30-degree .below zero weather, however. Bush pilots expressed the hope they may have found haven in some trapper’s '■■■■■■■■■■■■ FREE Beautiful ahd Handy Hallmark Date Book Free for the asking. Come in and , get yours. SMITH DRUG CO.

along the route to the settlement. A trial party ecjuipped with dog teams was unloaded from a single engined Norseman plane which landed on a small lake aboutl four miles from the crash scene to search for the missing men. The six half-frozen survivors were brought back by two bush pilots—Bill Munz and Frank Whaley. The rescue climaxed a series of unsuccessful flights in which five aircraft and a glider were forced down. The air force listed the six survivors as: Ist Lt. Donald B. Duesler, San Fernando, Cal.; Ist Lt. Francis J. Schaack, Oklahoma City. Okla.: Ist Lt. Lyle B. Larson, Colfax, Wis.; T/Sgt. Wilber E. Decker, Plainfield, N. J.; S/Sgt. Leslie R. Warren, Waco, Ga.; and radio operator Olan R. Samford, Whitney, Tex. The survivors were so exhausted after their six-day exposure they were unable to tell of their experience. 0 Leaking Sewer Gas Blamed For Blast Boston.

— ■ <■ ChurchCongregafion Builds New Church Plan First Service On New Years Eve ——— • Murphysboro, 111., Dec. 30. — (UP) —The congregation of the Missionary Baptist Church turned out with paint brushes asd trowels today to put the finishing touches on the new church they built themselves to save on the cost of labor. Youngsters on holiday vacations joined their mothers and fathers in the work. The congregation was in | a hurry because the want to hold their first services in the fine new building tomorrow evening—New Year’s Eve. The first shovelful of dirt was turned over last May. Since then all of the church's 189 members have pitched in to help construct the two-story auditorium and an adjoining Sunday school building. The Rev. A. L. Cox estimated today that the congregation saved $20,000 by doing the work themselves. The members did everything except the most highly-skill-ed jobs such as the electrical wiring. The total cost was SBO,OOO. Cox said the church was the fifth built by congregations he has led. He has helped parishioners build I houses of worship at Ridgway, i Energyn and Benton in Illinois and at Grahamville in Kentucky. Although he has had no formal training, Cox has acted as architect and contractor for all five construction jobs. He praised members of Missionary Baptist Church today for their zeal in the work. “It was inspiring,’’ he said. “Housewives hurried through their chores so they could help and the men went straight from their own jobs to the church. Often the women would serve hot supper on tables in the churchyard so their husbands could work under the lights on summer evenings.” Whole families turned out and women worked alongside the men on all but the heaviest jobs. People who didn’t even belong to the church got interested and came over to help during their spare time. “You just can't stop people like these when they get started,” Cox said. “Where we only had a little drafty frame building before, we now have a fine big church that we might never have been able to pay for any other way.” But the new church building isn’t the most important thing gained by the congregation during the months of construction, he said. “We found something that means a whole lot more than the church building or the money saved,” he said. “We found good fellowship and companionship that we never knew existed among our group. We're all real friends now.” 0 Owen Wemhoff Enroute Home For Discharge Pfc. Owen C.

He implied that he was justified in shooting his brother-in-law. “Weigh the good with the evil,”'
