Drake Is javcd By Mistake J’RARL HARBOR, Aug. 2—(UP) - Ritflgn John Crake's adventures with the Japanese sound like sonv:thing right <Hit of a story book. The Japs saved his life by mistakenly dropping him a life* raft after he 1 ' iiibed Iwo-Jima just 600 miles from Tokyo.

Drake who is from Wilmington, •

Del. and his wingmun. Ensign Jack Ci.ffey, of Greencastle, Ind.. we it > aft r the southern runways of Iwo*

Jim e through fierce nck-ack. Drake droppea his bon.*>* Then he I

heard explosions. He looked up and * saw that the engine on his port wing had I. ust into flames. He* ordered f the crewmen to nbanelon ship. He

v.at hid them parachute doven. Drake himself came down a feu

miles off shore. He floated aroun I

in the water with the help of

life jacket.

Three-quarters of an hour later

two Jap fighter planes spotted him and came down closet to investigate. Those planes left. But a half hour later two Jap torpedo bombers flew over. One dropped to 30 feet and wiggled its wings. Drake hoped to deceive the enemy into thinking he was one of their downed pilots. So he waved at the n frantically, and flashed a small light. A few minutes later another torpedo bomber returned and dropped a large life laft. And soon he saw a small boat put out from Iwo-Jim. and head for him. Fortunately American airplanes came to the rescue and drove off the Jap boat. And he was picked up. The only injuries Drake suffered were a sunburn, and moderate burns and cuts on his legs.

TURKEY MOVES TO BREAK WITH AXIS POWERS

(CVnlilwd G .itn l , !i!£<* One I grand assembly. The action probably will be followed by a Bulgarian attempt to make peace with the Allies and a Nazi withdrawal from Greece and the Aegean islands. Finland named Mannerhelm to succeed President liisto Ryti in a move that automatically may have nullified agreements made by the Ryti government with Germany and pave the way for an armistice with Russia. Mannerheim was scheduled to take office Friday. Both developments, in bold defiance of German wrath, stemmed from Germany's disastrous military defeats in Poland, Fiance and Italy and the internal crisis touched off in the Reich by the abortive attempt

on Hitler's li/e.

As by-products, the Finnish and Turkish actions were not expected to affect the course of the war except insofar as they will undermine Hitler’s prestige further in Europe and strike another blow to home-

front morale.

Germany's political front apparently has cracked beyond repair, however, and the approaching decisive battles in the east and west may complete the downfall of the Reich. An Ankara dispatch said Turkey's rupture of relations with Germany probably would take effect at 11 p. m. Thursday, with a 10.day period pf, grace wherein German nationals may leave the country. The estimated 3,000 Germans still in. Turkey, were expected to be escorted ijr special, trains as far a.s the Bulgarian bord-

er, the dispatch said.

Baron Franz Von Papen, Gerpian Ambassador to Ankai;a, conferred with Turkish, .president.,lafvft.jtyonu and foreign minister Sukru Saracoglu for 45 minutes' yesterday. Turkish

sources deseribed^the v. step toward the nffitun

ICnnllmiril From I'nice Onn of Brest and Lorient, with Paris. The Germans were believed to have drawn off the bulk of their forces in Brittany for their futile attempt to ( hold Normandy. Pontorson lies four miles inland on the Couesnon river. While the battle for Brittany an^l the roads for Paris was shaping u^. other American 1st army and British 2nd army forces began .squeezing the Germans out of the salient extending ' into American lines northeast o(; Avranehes. American troops re-captured Percy and Tcssy-Sur-Vire, main Gormap resistance points 17 and 2.3 miles northeast of Avranehes, and fought 1 their way into the companion strong- I hold of Villedieu-Les-Poeles, half way between Avranehes and Tossy. It was from Tossy, Percy and Vil- , ledieu that the Germans mounted a ! series of fierce counter-attacks in a j futile attempt to drive through the American flank to the sea, 18 milys to the west, and isolate the spear- ' heads which advanced through Avranehes. On the northern and eastern rim of the German salient, British forces broke into open country ideal for tank warfare after capturing Lo Benybocage, 11 miles south of Caumont, starting point of their offensive three days ago. The latest advances reduced the ! enemy salient to nine miles in ; width the base and four and a ' quarter miles in width at the top, ' and it still was shrinking rapidly.
