Keep Your Draft Cards
U. 8. District Attorney Howard Caughran settled the question of whether the men still have to carry around their draft classification cards now. The answer 1s. yes. They'll probably be permanent prop= erty in the billfold until the draft ends. The last classification card is all that’s necessary to carry with you but Mr. Caughran says it's good to have the draft registration card along, too. . . .

WASHINGTON.—When Navy Radioman 1-¢ Are thur Jibilian stepped out of a plane over Yugoslavia and pulled the rip-cord on his parachute, he thought he was going to rescue 40 American airmen. Before his mission was finished, he had led more than 600 stranded fliers to safety, Jibilian had volunteered for duty with the office of strafeg i ¢ services, following his training as a parachutist. He had already qualified as an expert radios man. His first assignment was with Tito'’s Partisan forces in Yugoslavia. He spent many months there maintaining radio com ~- munication between Tito and th e allies. : Early’ in July, 1944, he was taken out to rest in an army hospital in Italy, : At the end of the month he was informed he was

of 40 American airmen. They were with a band of Mikhailovitch’s Chetniks. An army lieutenant and sergeant would accompany him. The night of August 2 was a perfectly clear moon~ light night. They were supposed to be dropped in a prepared clearing, but Jibllian missed it and landed in a cornfield. A peasant helped him to his feet and led him to the clearing. . The ‘chute on one of his radios had failed to open, This worried him because it left him with no spare.
Prepared Clearing
WHEN HE reached the clearing he was astonished. Instead of 40 fliers, there were 200 waiting to be evacuated. Some were wounded and in pretty bad shape. Jibilian set up his radio equipment, contacted headquarters and explained the situation. For six days the peasants and Chetniks worked furiously to prepare the clearing so that C-47s could land. They used oxcarts to haul dirt and trees. There was the ever-present threat of German patrols stumbling onto their work. One afternoon several Ger-

man Junkers planes, used for dropping paratroopers, flew over the clearing, This gave them all a bad scare, but the work continued. Jibilian was having trouble with his battery. The charger wasn't working well and fuel for it was almost gone. Two days before the clearing was finished the fuel was spent. Without radio connection with headquarters the whole project was threatened, He was desperate. A peasant was sent to steal some fuel from the Germans, and to Jibilian’s intense relief, he succeeded. He was in a cold sweat as he filled the small tank and started the motor. It sputtered into action. The nervous men who had gathered around shouted with joy. Jibilian tapped out this message: “We suggest day evac, starting night, with fighter cover.” He got his reply: “Expect six C-47s night of August 9th. Evac to continue through 10th. First plane at seven.” The fliers were organized into groups of 12. The wounded were to get out first. They were told to stay away from the field if they were scheduled to leave the next day, but they all jammed the edge of the clearing hours before the first plane was to land. It got worse when the planes failed to- appear, An hour and 45 minutes after the appointed time for arrival, the unmistakable sound of C-47 engines were heard. The field was small and crude at best. Jibilian exchanged light signals with the ship as it circled once and nosed down to land. Visibility was perfect,
Perfect Landing AS IT came closer, the landing lights disappeared beneath the bushes at the end of the field. A groan went up. Jibilian was sure it had crashed. The men held their breath until the plane appeared above the clearing and rolled in for a perfect landing. The wounded were carried out and in five minutes the plane took off again. Three more. landed that night and each took off within five minutes. Most of the wounded were out.

It got into the air and the other craft landed for their human cargo. Shortly before the last plane left, a messenger from Mikhailovitch told Jibilian that the Chentik chief wanted him to stay. He said he had heard about more airmen in the area who needed assistance. Jibilian stayed, and during the next months aided in getting 400 more American fliers to safety.

Super Fuels Discovered
JET ENGINES, he explains, open the way to air travel faster than the 750 to 850 miles-an-hour speed of sound. Among the laboratory's secrets have been discoverles in the ‘field of super-fuels. Beneath distillg~ tion columns three stories high, nuclear physicists are experimenting with triptane, the highest performance fuel so far developed. Fuel of 100 octane—a measurement of anti-knock properties—once was regarded as the peak of gasoline refinement, Now it is revealed here that 130-octane gas was being produced at more than 500,000 barrels a day when the war ended. Triptane’s rating is 175. Across the way, the scientists put a mixture of 20 per cent triptane and 80 percent 130-octane gas into the fuel tank of a Liberator bomber. An air blast is trained on an engine to simulate flight conditions. The engine's speed is increased until a knock develops. The experiment is repeated with. straight 130-octane gas. The gauges show the engine develgped an additional 200 horsepower with the triptane-blended fuel. Super-fuels are developed by processes which alter the molecular patterns of the component atoms, a | science of limitless possibilities in the development of propulsion power, says Addison M.
