PERIL LURKS IN AFRICAN SKIES

German Flier’s Bullet Sears Neck of Writer Sitting Unarmed in Plane.

By VIRGIL PINKLEY United Press Staff Correspondent

AT AN ADVANCED AIRDROME IN THE WESTERN DESERT, Dec. 8.— (Delayed) — There always is danger in the North African skies. Early this afternoon I was seated unarmed in a Lockheed plane made at Burbank, Cal. I was in seat No. 13, awaiting a flight to Cairo, when

nearby. Just as I jumped out of the plane, eight Messerschmitt 110’s and two Messerschmitt 109s dived at the plane from 40 or 50 feet. The soft clay footing retarded my escape and machine gun bullets thudded into the ground two yards away. One bullet seared the right side of my neck as it whizzed between my right ear and shoulder. Several British Tomahawks dived immediately on the tails of the enemy. Looking to my right, I saw a number of bullets bury themselves in a Bombay plane parked nearby. At the edge of the airdrome, I ran toward a ledge just in time to see the German planes dive toward a Red Cross ambulance plane which was starting a takeoff. The ambulance plane, clearly marked with the Red Cross insignia, crashed and burst into flames, but the pilos

Bedridde

By EGAN LECK

It's a big job for even an able|bodiad expert to build a model air'plane that will fly. But Buren Pedigo, 26, of 5109 Plainfield Ave. makes

them while lying flat on his bed and they're big ones, with six-foot w

ings. Bedridden for two years as the re'sult of a motorcycle accident which |crushed his left leg and paralyzed ‘his right one, Buren is a one-man factory. He's the president, sales manager, designer, head mechanic and superintendent of his thriving business, all conducted from his bed at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Pedigo.

Sought. to Forget Plight

By trade; Mr. Pedigo was a tool and die maker in Denver, Colo., at the time of the motorcycle accident. After that there was a succession of operations, bone-breakings and bone-settings. In order to forget his plight during the many months of convalescence, Buren plunged into the model plane manufacturing business with zest. Now, as the old saying goes, “the world is beating a path to his door” to see and buy his model planes. He works mostly while lying on his stomach and spends many hours a day wriggling around in bed with tools and raw materials that gradually grow into airplanes with motors in them. His planes, ranging from tiny ones with six-inch wings to the big

six-footers, would fly for miles if

The doctors have predicted that Buren may be ahle to get back on his legs again next year. Then he expects to get back into some large defense factory. He was graduated from Ben Davis High School in 1932 and worked as a tool and die maker at the RCA facvory, the Switzer-Cum-mins Co. and the Real Silk Hosiery Mills before going to Denver.

OFFICERS DENY HITCH TORTURE

And Asks Admission of Confession.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, Dec. | 10 (U. P.).—Prosecutor Ralph M. Bounell today called additional witnesses for the state in the trial of Pail Hitch, accused of the fatal shooting of Scott Gerald Carver. He indicated that the case would

not reach the jury until next week. Defense counsel for the 39-year-old road laborer, after battling for three days in an extra-judicial hearing to prevent admission of a confession signed by Hitch, reversed their stand yesterday and asked that confession be included as evidence. Defense Attorney Arthur MeGaughey said admission of the written document before the court was necessary in order to crossexamine state’s witnesses on questions arising from an oral confessiol made by Hitch to police which Judge Edgar A. Rice had allowed before the jury. Merle Remley, Crawfordsville police chief, and State Detective Paul Rule testified for the State yesterday that statements in both confessions were true, and denied Hitch was tortured, as he claimed, to force admission of the crime. Hitch is accused of killing Carver at the latter’s shanty near the city dump Sept. 13.

EXPRESS WORKERS AGCEPT PAY OFFER

CHICAGO, Dec. 10 (U. P.)—The Railway Express Agency early today accepted the wage recommendations of President Roosevelt's emergency fact-finding board and averted a na-tion-wide strike of 40,000 scheduled for this morning. Wayne Lyman Morse, board chairman, announced the last-minute settlement of the dispute after a four-hour conference with A. M. Hartung, vice president of the company, and George M. Harrison, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks (AFL). The Board had proposed a 10 per cent wage increase compared with the management offer of 81% per cent. The express agency was the only management group which failed to accept the Board's wage proposals Dec. 2. The railroads granted proposed increases to 1,150,000.

STATE'S BEER

Brewers’ Report; Pledge Support in War.

Indiana's 13 brewers madé ‘mére beer and less profits this year, they reported at the eighth annual meeting of the Indiana Brewers Association yesterday. Executive Secretary Harold C. Feightner said earnings were smaller because of increased taxes. production — 1,866,000 barrels — was nearly 14 per cent more than last year and placed Indiana, for the first time, among the 10 leading beer producing states.

Pledge War Support The Association adopted a reso-

lution as follows: “We individually and collectively reaffirm our whole hearted support of our country, and we dedicate ourselves and our resources to the supreme task of winning the war so

ideals may survive.” Adolph B. Schmidt, president of the F. W. Cook Co.; Evansville, was re-elected for his sixth successive term. Others re-elected were Charles Reuss, president of the Centlivre Brewing Corp., Ft. Wayne,

SCHOOLS REFUSE UNION BARGAINING

The School Board has rejected the claim of Building Service Employee’'s Union 69, A. F, of L. as the bargaining representative for public school janitors. In a statement answering the union’s petition for recognition as bargaining representative, the Board last night held it would consider petitions of any group but that it would not bargain with any union or other organization. The Board warned that any school employee who acts to interrupt school service “shall be considered as having resigned.”
