plant was formally opened here
Friday in the heart of one of the
principal broiler producing sec
tions of the nation.

Columbus, March 14—Four sol
diers of the 176th infantry are be
lieved to have been drowned on
Saturday when the assault boat
in which they were crossing the
Chattahoochee river at Engineer’s
Landing, Ft. Benning, overturned.
Although the bodies have not yet
been recovered, conclusive evi-
j dence is on hand identifying the
, missing men. Their emergency
addresses have been notified. The
missing men are Pfc. Earl J. Mur
phy, Gary, Ind.; Pfc. Milton I.
Brumbaugh, Martinsburg, Pa.; Pfc
Roy K. Coppenger, Knoxville,
Tenn.; and Pfc. W. T. Radscavage
Old Forge, Pa.
1 The accident occurred during a
! rehearsal fo rthe Infantry School
i demonstration “Attack of a River
Line.” An entire battalion was
participating in the problem and
the assault elements had success
fully crossed at the Alabama side
of the river and were on the re
turn when the accident occurred. [
The boat, powered t / an out- i
board mo^or, was heading for the I
Georgia bank when water was 1
shipped into the bow and the men
in it began to stand. The operator
j Cpl. R. B, Tate, Galesburg, 111.,
' slowed the boat and idled the en- I
gine until the men reseated them
selves at his order, after which the
boat was started again. As it pro
ceeded against the current a bow
wave swept into the forward sec
tion causing the boat to sink al
most immediately.
As theb oat sank tnere was no
confusion among the men, accord
ing to witnesses. Troops entered
the water and attempted to swim
to the Georgia bank. Four men on
the Georgia shore swam into the
water and two assault boats on
the opposite shore put out into the
stream to aid in the rescue. With
the help of rescuers from the near
bank and in boats, all except the
four missing soldiers were saved.
Cited by Col. Edwin Cox, Rich
mond, Va., commanding officer of
the 176th Infantry for outstanding
performance in effecting rescues
were the following: 1st Lt. J. K.
Kerley, Philadelphia, Pa.; Sgt. W.
C. Yalenty, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Staff
Sgt. H. N. Webster, Crewe, Va.; Sgt
J. H. McGill, Richmond, Va.; Pfc.
W. C. Flaig, Altoona, Pa.; Tech
Sgt. A. W. Walker, Norfolg, Va.;
and Tech Sgt. A. J. Lester, also of
