about 400 to 500 drums of gasoline. Explosion and fire were practically instantaneous.” At the time of the attack Gruber was “back on the fan tail loading 20 mm. magazines.” “Gruber, without any orders from anyone, ran forward to the after end of No. 5 hatch and ‘manned a hose at that particular point. The smoke was so bad that I don’t see how he managed to live through it and the gasoline drums were exploding by the dozens.” Soon afterward Gruber wondered

Braving “terrific heat” he went down into the magazine and found that the flooding valve was shut off. “It is my sincere belief that if this young man hadp't done what he did the whole stern of this vessel would have been blown off and great loss of life would have re= sulted.” Mrs. Fern Gruber, Edward's mother, said yesterday, “That's” the way he is. That's exactly like him. Whenever there was trouble, he was right in the midst of it, never thinking of himself.”

Another Son in Navy Mrs. Gruber’s first intimation that her son had been in danger was when she read a newspaper column last Christmas, The column printed a letter from Capt. Coughlin describing the battle his ship had recently been through.

It was a shock to Mrs. Gruber, “I was so upset,” she said yesterday, “that I cried for two or three days. I was frightened to death. Then I realized that if anything had happened to Edward I would have been notified before any story was published.” A phone call from Edward in San

Mrs. Gruber, who was born in Hendryville, Clark county, has another son, Richard, aged 20, who is a first class petty officer in the Navy and now stationed somewhere near Guam. : Her two daughters, Pat, aged 16, and Judy, aged 13, attend Shortridge high school, as did the boys.
