enjoying the usual Airman’s priv
j ilege of sacking in on Easter
I morning when they were rudely
j awakened from the land of
I dreams, in the early morning
hours, by the voice of their NCOIC
T/Sgt. Edward Rice calling out
“Happy Easter.”
Wondering for a moment if
the sergeant had been at Nome
too long or if he was just pulling
a joke, they started to roll back
over and return to their slumbers;
but did a double take when the
sergeant started talking of Easter
Bunnies and an Easter Egg hunt.
Rubbing the sleep from their

maintained by the school to hide
colored eggs the day before.

seemed to be wearing an airman’s
“exposure suit” appeared to be
lying on the raft.
However Danish naval authori

cled the spot where the raft was
supposed to have been found said
the American airmen may have
mistaken a buoy for a liferaft.
The first shipload of American
arms for Italy under the billion
dollar military aid program was
safely unloaded in Naples yester
day. A heavy guard of police and
soldiers prevented communist in

Italian-Yugoslav relations are
boiling again over the former
Italian territory of Trieste, part
of which is now held by Yugo

The Nationalists claimed they
have wiped out a crack regiment
of Chinese Reds which attempted
to invade Hainan island.
