Crippled Father Rescues
Daughter From Drowning
HUGO, Okla., OP) — A frantic
father, crippled since, childhood,
rose from his wheel chair at a
family picnic Monday night to
save his 11-year-old daughter
from drowning.
*
Olen Petty, however, could not
reach his son, Joe, 9, who sank
within inches of his grasping fin
gers. The body was recovered
later.
Joe and his sister, Lucille, were
wading in Schooler Lake, 16 miles
northeast of here, and stepped
into deep water.
“It was miraculous,” said their
uncle, Cecil Garner, in regard to
Petty’s attempt to save them.
Petty, he said, is able to walk
only on his hands and knees. Wit
nesses, shocked by the tragedy,
were unable to recall how he
reached his children from the
bank so quickly.
Rev. and Mrs. Denny Ost have
announced the arrival of a son,
Timothy Paul, bom at McAllen,
Texas, where the Ost family are
serving with the Christian Fellow
ship Union.

Army Unveils First
New Tank, M-48,
Since End of War
NEWARK, Del., UP) _ The
Army unveiled Tuesday what it
called’ the first completely new
medium tank to be developed
since World War II—streamlined,
more powerful, and almost as
easy to handle as a new automo
bile.
Designated the M-48, or “Patton
48,” it is being produced at the
Chrysler tank plant here and at
two other arsenals. Officials said
sizable deliveries are expected be
fore the end of the year.
#
The tank, in the 45 to 50-ton
class, has several notable new
features:
1— A lower silhouette than any
other American tank of corres
ponding size. Present U.S. tanks
have been criticized because their
height made them easily spotted.
2— An egg-shaped, sloping el
liptical hull and turret. This
makes it harder for an enemy
shell to get a “bite” into the
armor.
3— Wider treads than present
medium tanks. The wider the
tread, the better the tank can op
erate on muddy roads, in swamp
terrain or in snow.
4— A 90-millimeter, high velo
city gun with a quick change
tube. Using only simple tools, the
liner of the gun barrel can be
changed in the field in minutes
instead of sending the tank back
to rear areas for replacement of
a whole new gun when repeated
firing has worn the rifling of the
tube.
5— A 50-caliber machine gun on
top of the turret which can be
aimed, fired and loaded from
within the tank. No longer does
the gunner have to stand with
head and shoulders exposed to
enemy fire.
