Whittington Ben * on ' N - c • / I Gdynia’s Akademia Hospital, said i he and five companions were trap ped in an underground German army food and supply warehouse by retreating Nazi troops who j : dynamited the entrance early in J 1945. The soldier and one other sur- j vivor of the entombment stumbled bearded, blinded and blubbering from the bunker about a month ago when Polish workers cleared wreckage from the entrance to the depot at Babie Doly. near Gdynia. SECOND SURVIVOR DIES The second survivor dropped dead of shock on emerging into the daylight. The other said two of his com- • panions committed suicide a few . moiiths after they were entombed j by German troops who did not know the soldiers were in the de pot. The' trapped men were be lieved to have been looting. Two others of the trapped sol diers died of unknown causes, the survivor said. Air entered the tomb through an air vent undamaged by the ex plosion. Water trickled through cracks and the men had plenty of food. But they lived in darkness after their supply of candles was exhausted two years ago. The trapped men had no tools with which to dig their way out of the concrete bunker, the sur vivors said. He said they washed in Rhine wine and encased their dead in huge flour sacks. The bodies were almost perfectly mummified. Senators Ask For Bipartisan Foreign Policy By Herbert Foster Washington, June 18.—(UP) A House Democrat and a Republi can senator urged Congress today to rise above ‘'personalities” in or der to re-establish a bipartisan for eign policy. The results were made by Rep. Brooks Hays, D.. Ark., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Com mittee, and Sen. James H. Duff, R. Pa. Their views were expressed inde pendently Hays in a statement and Duff in a speech to the gradu ating class at Lehigh University at Bethlehem, Pa. , However, the time of their pleas was the same and each without naming names unmistakably di rected their remarks at some mem bers of their own parties. I Suspend Vendettas “Let’s suspend the political ven dettas until 1952,” Hays said. "If it is inevitable that foreign policy should become a political issue in 1952, it nevertheless would be igno ble for either party in 1951 to seek an advantage with only presiden tial politics in mind.” Duff also told the Lehigh gradu ates that a bipartisan foreign policy is “the only answer” to meet the free world’s battle against Com munism. “If we are going to ffieet the greatest crisis in our history,” Duff said, “we have to rise above. per sonalities. This isn’t a time, to be tearing people down in this coun try: this is a time to un derstand the best or everything that everyone has to offer.” In holding out the olive branch to the GOP, Hays conceded that the administration’s record on foreign policy is not perfect. It has much to answer for in 1952, he said. But this year, Hays added, some public services are needed that only the Republicans can supply, and he asked the GOP to "give us a chance to establish the basis for coopera . tion.” TRAIN AT FORT BRAGG FAYETTEVILLE, June 18 (IP) Some 600 West Point cadets began a one-week training course with the Army and Air Force at Fort Bragg today.
