of W. Chicago Blvd., this week
learned that injuries suffered
by their son and his family in
an airplane crash last weekend
were not serious. ,
The son, Paul Elden, his
wife, Peggy, and 10-year-old
daughter, Arlene, were passen-
gers aboard the Miami-bound
DC-6A, which crashed on
Riker's Island, moments after
taking off from LaGuardia Field
in New York.
Mrs. Elden, although uncon-
scious after the accident, was
thrown_ clear of the plane. Elden
aided his daughter to escape
through a broken window only
a few minutes before the plane
went up in flames.
All three suffered minor in-
j uries.
Freedom is worth whatever
price we have to pay far it.

the truce took effect, and is the only American buried at
West Point who gave his life for an alien cause.

yette, the Jewish soldier and former American army of
