Bronze Star Medal Fifth Air Force, Philippines Nine enlisted men, including Sgt. Delmar D. Wagoner of Decatur, under tiie operational control of the 310th bomb wing have been awarded the bronze star medal for heroic achievement in defense of the Hill air strip, Mindoro, P. 1., last December when attacked by a Japanese naval task force. The citation accompanying the medal eaid: “When a Japanese naval task force approached the island and threatened the Hill air strip and installations, these enlisted men volunteered to haul bombs from the bomb dumps and load them into airplanes preparing to attack the enemy. Although the strip was subjected to constant enemy istrafing, bombing and naval shelling, they completely disregarded their own safety and continued to work until midnight. In making this contribution to the elimination of a serious threat to allied positions these enlisted men demonstrated outstanding courage and exceptional devotions to duty.” Every available airplane on the Mindoro base was ordered into the attack against the enemy task force on the afternoon of December 26. First contact was made with the enemy six miles out and ail planes returned to the base, time and again, to refuel and rebomb at which time the nine men volunteered their services to assist the ground crews in the thick of battle. Although suffering heavy fatalities to gun crew personnel, the enemy continued to bore toward the beach during the night, with continual air protection from their Luzon bases. Bombing and strafing of the air strip continued, followed by paval shelling from two miles out. Concentration of the enemy attack was toward ammunition dumps and parked aircraft, waiting to be reloaded for other strikes at the Japs. Sinking of three enemy destroyers, damage to three destroyers, a heavy cruiser and a light cruiser caused the enemy to give up his hopeless attempt on December 27 and scamper to safety from the wing’s bomber and fighters. Pvt. W. L. Davis, son of Mrs. 11. O. Davis of Pleasant Mills, who was inducted into the army three weeks ago, has the following address: Pvt. W. L. Davis, 45017545; Co. B Ist Tug. Bn. B.T.S. A.S.F.

Nation's Capital Begins Celebration Demonstration Begins In Predawn Darkness Washington, Aug. 14 —(UP) — This capital's victory demonstration began in the predawn darkness today when a jubilant marine paused on a downtown street corner and let go with the mightiest of war whoops. It wa« then shortly before 4 a. ni. But the marine wasn’t the only one stirring; the news from Tokyo radio had spread rapidly. Four blocks from where he stood, a crowd of 200 or so —mostly servicemen — already was gathering in Lafayette Park across from the White House. In scores of homes of officials and newsmen the good word was preceded by the jangling of a telephone bell. The Washington City news service had a list of 95 persons to call when Japan hollered “quits” and 93 of the persons were aroused before 3:30 a. m. Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift, commandant of marines and commander of the August, 1942 assault on Guadalcanal, said "This is great news.” President Truman had gone to bed at 10:30 last night and the "lid was on” at the White House. But Capt. James Vardaman, White House naval aide, appeared in the executive offices at 2:10 a. n. Newsmen and photographers already were gathering there. Lights burned throughout the night at the Swiss legation, which will deliver Japan’s formal reply to the United States. At 3:09 a. m. an attache said there was no word from Bern “but we are waiting for it and are ready to speed it along when it comes.” There were occasional yips in the downtown area from late celebrants. Their numbers were few but their enthusiasm was overwhelming. At George Washington University, co-eds in Strong Hall many of them wives or fiancees of servicemen—staged a riotous celebration in their dormitory rooms. The throng in front of the White House greW slowy as the morning wore on. Occasional jitterbugging demonstrations by white-clad sailors and their girl friends broke the monotony of the waiting.

Capehart said: “At this moment — though I might change my mind in the litht of future events —I believe it is best to eliminate all OPA regulations except price, controls.
