Ex-B-29 Gunner Spends Ten Minutes On Tail of Spinning Cessna in Snow BATTLE CREEK UP—Frostbitten Lloyd Bowen classified the 10 minutes he spent on the tail of a spinning small plane yesterday as his most harrowing experience—and he was a gunner on a B-29 superfort in World War II. Here's what happened: Bowen, 39, landed his two-place single engine Cessna at Kellogg airport and started taxiing toward a hangar. The engine conked out in the seven above zero cold. Bowen alighted to spin the propeller by hand and got the engine started again. It started with a roar and almost chopped Bowen down, be wrapped his arms around the rudder as it passed and held on, but the plane didn't stop. He forced the rudder to the side, making the plane run in a circle. Finally, after 10 freezing, diarying minutes, the spinning plane was spotted by the airport tower. A crash truck speeded up. Two attendants jumped off and grabbed the tail with Bowen, who then let loose and ran to the cockpit, forcing in the throttle he'd left too far out in the first place. Caked with snow and ice when he got off, Bowen got first aid for his frostbitten face and cars. He also got a bruised leg. Airport authorities said the engine was running around 2000 revolutions per minute during its wild, but Bowen-controlled spree. At that speed, they said, the plane, without a man's weight on its tail, likely would have taken off and possibly crashed into hangars or nearby homes. Ralph De Palma Relates Thrills Of Speed Driving to Optimists Ralph De Palma of auto racing fame spoke before a joint meeting of Anaheim-Fullerton Optimists last night at Mother's Kitchen. Speaking in behalf of safety, he urged each individual listener to "see to it that you, as an individual, delay that millionth traffic death that statistic show will occur at some time during these Christmas holidays." Optimists were loath to let the gray haired veteran of 27 years of automobile racing end his talk. Safety measures have already been recommended and adopted upon Anaheim highways. Walter Lunsford, heading the campaign in Fullerton, outlined progress there. Caution signs have been painted in every crosswalk throughout the city. Sven Harberg of the Anaheim club was given much credit for the success of this project. Safety Bulletin Out Don May, editor of the Optimist's safety bulletin, distributed done by competitive bidding... Optimists were loath to let the gray haired veteran of 27 years of automobile racing end his talk. They deluged him with questions and for every question De Palma had the answer and a story. He told of his first race in an Italian car "Fabrica Italia Automobila Torino," better known in the USA as a Flat. He raced that car in the 1900 Indianapolis classic. The race was stopped after seven people were killed. Though De Palma was in the lead, broken springs would have forced his car out of the race in another lap. Same Track. Little has been done other than resurfacing the track on the Indianapolis Memorial Day Speedway. The bricks have given way to macadam but the turns are banked at the same pitch and the track follows the same old contours. The "Fastest Five Hundred" proved a breathtaking cinema glimpse in technical color of the 1851 event. Safety proved the high note. Except for two sldgs into the infield resulting in no damage, not a single accident occurred, a tribute to the auto industry, makers of better cars. Deputy District Gov. George Tucker from Laguna Beach commended the northern Orange county clubs on the success of the Safety Program and stated that other clubs in Orange county would inaugurate the campaign in the very near future. Nolon M. Doss, president of Laguna Beach, and Norman Morgan, president of the Fullerton club, were both present. Safety Program Outlined Dr. Brock Roberts, chairman of the Anaheim Optimist's "Your Brake is 'Their Break'" safety campaign outlined the entire program. Parents of elementary school children including kindergarten signed up 100 per cent in schools at Thomas Jefferson, George Washington Lincoln and Walter Lunsford, heading the campaign in Fullerton, outlined progress there. Caution signs have been painted in every crosswalk throughout the city. Sven Harberg of the Anaheim club was given much credit for the success of this project. Safety Bulletin Out Don May, editor of the Optimist's safety bulletin, distributed copies to the visiting Optimists. Five hundred copies will be edited and mailed each month. Subject matter will deal primarily with the local problem of making our city's streets safe for our children. Persons interested may receive the publication by submitting their names to the Optimists. Introduced was Jim Grigsby, the plastering contractor contributed his service to the Optimist's Boys clubhouse being built on the Boy Scout lot on West Chartres street. Receiving their richly deserved share of the plaudits were three hard working members of the Grigsby crew. Roy Payton, Don Duvall and Paul Peterson. Grigsby stated that—the finish coat would be started Saturday morning.

Center — Anaheim — Pharo Anaheim 5191 Reds Refuse to Lift Curtain of Camps Security MUNICIPAL KOREA (P)—The reds flatly refused today to lift the curtain of secrecy surrounding their prison camps, but said they would okkla the rotation of 5000 troops a month if the Allies accept other communist terms for enforcing a Korean truce. The limited rotation plan was part of a new six-point communist proposal which made little impression on Allied negotiators. An official U.N. communique made no mention of rotation and said the proposal showed "little significant departure from the unacceptable proposal of Dec. 3." In Stockholm, the Swedish foreign office said the U.S. had asked if Sweden would join the neutral inspection commission to help police a Korean truce. It said Sweden has made no decision. Negotiators have not agreed on how an armistice would be enforced. The Allies have indicated they might accept a communist proposal to use representatives of neutral nations for behind-the-lines inspections. Red delegates said International Red Cross inspection of communist prison camps was "out of the question." They again refused to turn over lists of Allied prisoners unless the U.N. command first accepts the communist idea of exchanging all prisoners. Rear Adm. R. E. Libby wanted to know why. He asked: "Is it because your list contains just a handful of names and you are ashamed to give it to us?" The reds complained the great majority of prisoners held by the U.N. would not be returned if WE MADE A TERRE IN BOOK CASE IN BOOK CASE YOU GET ALL THIS at a saving of $33.85 "SHELF-CASE" YOU GET ALL THIS at a saving of $33.85 "SHELF-CASE" HEADBOARD upholstered in rich, colorful all-plastic Regularly $14.95 INNERSPRING MATTRESS in durable woven stripe ticking Regularly $39.95 MATCHING BOX SPRING more comfort for you, longer life for your mattress Regularly $39.95 STEEL FRAME strong and readily moved when you sweep Regularly $8.95 TOTAL REGULAR VALUE $103.80 GAREY'S SALE PRICE 69.95 You SAVE The Difference 33.85 OPEN EVERY NIGHT TIL CHRISTMAS at Anaheim, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa & Fullerton Stores TUCUMCARL N.M.
