Companion on Leave Says

FREEHOLD, N. J., Dec. 18 (U, P.), ~Pvt, John Bartek, 23, who was Fescued from the vast stretches of ke South Pacific with Capt. Eddie ckenbacker, believes in miracles. The youth, who is spending a B-day furlough with his parents, r. and Mrs, Charles Bartek, today Jrelated one incident of his ordeal which “was a miracle if I ever saw one.” “The six oranges we managed to save when our plane crashed lasted for six days,” he said. “I happened #0 have with me a copy of the Bible, which we used as 8 prayer e. . “We could hardly belleve our eyes when two fish jumped into the raft. ey "disappeared in short order, cooked or uncooked.”

Bartek described the death of a companion, Sergt. Alexander Kacz-

marczyk, who had swallowed much | § sea water and finally died after 15 :

days on the raft. “Lieut. John de Angelis, a mem-

MEANWHILE , OOR DEEP IN ENEMY TERRITORY, PICKS UP THE TRAIL OF HIS MISSING DINOSALR

FAIRLY FRESH... IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SO 9, LONG TO FIND OL

ber of our party, used the Bible to] |}

read services over the body as we buried Alex at sea,” Bartek said.

A few days later, Bartek said,

after a plane flew overhead with-

out sighting ‘them, Capt, Willam| 'P’

T. Cherry suggested that the three

rafts be parted to give them | Ewes better chance for rescue. They had| f=—¢

been lashed together.

Capt. Cherry was the first picked | Ԥ

up by a rescue vessel

before enlisting last year.

CORPORAL'S STAND SAVES HIS COMPANY

WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS ASOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA, Dec. 18 (C.D.N.).—In the steaming ,morass, almost within sight of the ‘sea, which' separated American troops from Sanananda’s black beach, Infested with prepared Jap- - anesé machine-gun positions, a for- ; die setter from Hollins, Mich. ‘Is looked up to as the man who saved the lives of his entire com-

pany. He is Corp. Vernon Dross, a :

sandy-haired six-footer.

When the Japs. were counter-at- |! tacking here along the Sanananda|'

road, almost all of Dross’ squad were wounded or killed. Dross held

the position in face of advancing

Jap fire and caused the Japs to re-

veal the extent of their deployment.

His act in holding fast alone saved the lives of the other platoons of his company which were behind his. Dross was also able to crawl back safely. His only harm was “some-

thing I swallowed—whether a Jap

bullet or my own tooth, I'm not sure.” .

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Dec. 18 (U. P.).—The American soldier in Iceland or Morocco can be fed ‘the same ration provided he wears clothing suitable to the climate, ‘George R. Cowgill, editor of the. Journal of Nutrition, said today. , Cowgill, an associate professor of physiological chemistry at the Yale school of medicine, in. an article in the Yale Review, said “the kinds of food people in different areas eat depends largely upon economic and socio-re-ligious factors, rather than upon heat and cold. “The army, therefore, has found

“I don’t think the supply sergeant likes me very well!”

and

a basic ration containing fundamental nutritive requirements, with minor modifications for climate.” A compact field ration has been developed, said Cowgill, that contains 3726 .calories and occupies space of only 6x6x4 inches! Also, he said, an emergency chocolate bar was perfected, which would remain solid at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It was deliberately made not too tasty because, he said, it would be eaten t00.soon and thus be unavailable when the emergency finally occurred.” :
