REPUBLIC CITY 10 The Arizona Republic Phoenix, Dec. 12, 1960 Crash Survivor Walks To Safety PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) men who parachuted from a jet tains walked out safely yesterday -covered terrain where First Lt. George M. Davis, 27, of the Plattsburgh Air Force Base Hospital, suffering from exhaustion and frost feet.

He was unable to talk to newsmen. Still missing was Staff Sgt. Pierre Maheux, 27, an experienced woodsman from Auburn, Maine. SEARCHERS believed they had located Maheux's parachute in the same general area where Davis landed, but he was not near it. Davis had almost reached a rural road near North Hudson.

Essex County, when he was met by two searchers from a party that was formed to hike to where his parachute had been spotted. Air force officials said Maheux, Troops Hold Snow Jump CAMP DRUM. N.Y. (AP) Weathe Operation Snow Chute, first mass parachute drop at Camp Drum in seven years, finally got off the ground yesterday and 780 troops landed for a mock attack. Ten of the paratroopers were injured, a total the base said was unusually low for the number of jumpers and the type of exercise.

The two most seriously hurt suffered leg fractures. In previous airborne exercises at this northern New York camp, 15 men were killed and more than 100 injured. Waves of 46 troop planes flew the men, members of the 52nd Airborne Division, from Griffiss Air Force Base, Rome, to the drop area. ONE DAY SERVICE DENTURES Gas Extractions or Nerve Block Dr. Joe M.

Pawtucket, R.I., was brought to because of his experience in the woods, had a good chance of surviving if he had not been injurd in the jump from the crippled B52 bomber Ba that crashed Friday night near Barre, Vt. The air and ground search for him continued after dark in a against an approaching snow storm, but finally was suspended for the night.

THE BOMBER, based at Westover, AFB, was headed for Watertown, N.Y.. on a practice mission when trouble developed and the eight-man crew bailed out. Five crewmen were found Saturday the Schroon Lake area where came out of the wood, raround and one was found near Crown Point on Lake Champlain. All carried survival kits and were dressed warmly. More than 250 air force personnel, aided by state police, forest rangers and volunteers, were in the search.

THOSE found previously were: Capt. William T. Combs, 43, Bristol, Maj Henry Luscomb, 41, Simsbury; Lt. James Saravo, 25, Newport, R. Maj.

Karl E. Keyes, 4. Hyattsville, Capt. Ronald D. Little, 29, Altoona, and Airman IC Charles E.

Morris, 32, Clearwater, Fla. Morris was the only one seriously injured. He suffered a fracture of the pelvis. COMBS was the pilot and aircraft commander. Plattsburgh AFB said the bomber was turning slightly and desending at the rate of 6,000 feet a minute when it reached what Combs considered an "unsafe altitude" and he gave the order to bail out.

The plane apparently turned around and headed back east. It traveled more than 100 miles before crashing. Missing Egypt Plane Crashes CAIRO (AP) Authorities reported yesterday an Egyptian Ilyushin military transport plane crashed in flames about 50 miles north of Luxor.

believes the best way to learn about biology and science is to do it yourself. Jacky is learning from the ground up. He presently is converting an old fluoroscope machine, used in a shoe store for checking the fit of shoes, into an X-ray machine that will give him answers to a raft of scientitic questions. One of the first things he will do with the machine is to conduct X-ray defraction experiments with salt or quartz crystals. Jacky is president of the 14- member science club at Superior High School and is interested in "crystal structure at the atomic level." Pretty high-flown language and interests for a teenager, but Jacky is an unusual youth with a fund of scientific curiosity.

HELPED BY HIS brother, and with science teacher and an X-ray technician as advisers, he will soon have a perfectly safe mdchine to be used in his crystal research as well as for X-raying animal specimens in the biology classes. Jacky and brother Danny, 15, will have the machine in a shell made of lead sheets a quarter inch thick, which will give it four times more protection than it had YEA CARPET ET (CLOSEOUT SALE We Have New ROLL- ENDS REMNANTS FULL ROLLS All Styles Colors Qualities MUST Excellent Selection BE SOLD Wonderful Color Choice THIS MONTH at Reductions of to See Wagon Wheel First For Rug Carpet Savings!

(UPI)-The liner United States sailed for Europe Saturday with 1,600 passengers and 15,000 sacks of Christmas mail. The big ship arrived here onlv Friday after being delayed 24 hours by storms on its East-West crossing. The turnaround deparwas the fastest in its eight years at sea. Orbited Flesh Samples Rushed To Scientists SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP)-A samples, which was carried 48 satellite, was being rushed yesterday to space radiation hazards.

The payload capsule of Discoverer air over the Pacific east of Hawali Saturday by Air Force Capt. Gene Jones in his second personal catch of a space research package. PROMPTLY loaded on an air force transport plane, the capsule was flown Saturday night from Honolulu to California. The slender aluminum tube containing test tissue samples was removed from the cargo capsule yesterday at Lockheed Missile and Space Division's headquarters here. The test samples will be rushed on to the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine at San Antonio, where scientists will measure the radiation effects on samples of bone marrow, eyelid tissue, gamma globulin, and cancer cells carried on the Discoverer XVIII flight.

"It's becoming almost a regular operation," said Captain Jones, 39, of Walla Walla, after landing his capsule-fielding C-119 Flying Boxcar at Hickam Air Force Base. Jones's plane caught the previous Discoverer XVII satellite capsule Nov. 14 in the same Pacific ballpark area 670 miles due east of Hawaii. MAJOR Gen. 0.

J. Ritland, air force ballistic missile division commander, said "everything worked out to the split second" in the precision timing of Discoverer XVIII's recovery after three days in orbit. The capsule was kicked loose from the orbiting satellite by radio signal at 3:43 p.m. Twenty minutes later one of Jones's crewmen shouted his report of prized cargo of living human tissue times around the earth in a space to scientists seeking answers XVIII was plucked from the sighting the capsule floating down on its parachute. Jones picked up the capsule on the first pass with his C-119's trailing nylon rope and grappling hooks.

HE FLEW as a substitute for a pilot suffering from penicillin reaction illness. "The mission was normal. We took off on time in clear skies. It was exactly like the last one," said Jones. Air force spokesmen said one of the key test samples in the capsule was a cluster of spores of soil bacteria.

Scientists are seeking to develop from the spores a technique of measuring radiation effects biologically rather than with physical instruments. The strain of spores used has been determined to be capable of withstanding many times the level of radiation a human can. when it was delivered from the factory. The youths tore the machine apart several weeks ago and Jacky cleaned and reinsulated the supports for the roentgen tube. He attached a 50-foot control cable which will allow the machine to be operated from the hall outside the school laboratory.

RANSOM BAKER, medical technologist at Magma Hospital, and Charles Gilbert science and biology teacher at the high school. are checking the device for safety measures and will be present during its operation as a precaution. An X-ray engineer will be asked to the machine after it is finished. The machine that holds he hopes the answers to Jacky's questions is no toy It puts out 50.000 volts at 5 milliamperes. Despite his intellectual learnings, Jacky is not a constant bookwarm.
