TERS, Aug. 20 (U. P.).—Don't say anything to American Gunner Sergt. G. C. Hollister about a “man en the flying trapeze.” SI might remind him again of his Bairbreadth escape from death recently, | Hollister, manning the “belly gun” in the blister protruding from the bottom of a bomber over New Guinea, was blazing away at Japanese zeroes which had attacked the plane, when a cannon shell from one zero blew off the blister door. Hollister ‘fell out backwards, with 25,000 feet to fall—but luckily his feet caught behind the bar connecting his two guns. There he “swung through the air,” until another gunner, hearing his shouts on the intercommunications system, dragged him in.

Chief Metalsmith Eddie ‘Reagan:

is back home in Indiana just a little: weary from his last trip to

sea. Ho has good reason to je because

the trip was especially’ strenuous . » he was aboard the U.S. 8. cruiser Magblehead when it was “bombed to hell” in thé Java sea battle early this year. As chief metalsmith it was his task to help make repairs of the damage done by. the Jap. bombs and nurse the ship through its three-month trip back to the states. Mr. Reagan, who has been in the navy for more than 24 years, was wounded by the Jap bombs when they landed on the ship, even though he was below deck. Two bombs struck the vessel and one other scored a near miss: which was just about as damaging for it

blew a hole in the ship's side below |”

the water line. The attack lasted approximately three hours and in that time the Marblehead gunners accounted for two Jap planes. After the other 35

the vessel by hand and with the

aid of pumps. It was a giant task to get the rudder in working order, too, for one of the bombs had jammed it whilg, the. ship was tuming and it stuck % a . 35-degree angle, ’ Chief Reagan is glad to be back

lin the U. 8. A, but se is resting

¥. |up and will soon be ready for an- | |other brush with the enemy, he i: |says. He is a native of Louisville,
