history equalled it (or boldness
of conception or force of execu
tion, the Allied invasion of
France last June was the unani
mous choice of the editors of

In listing the reelection of
President Roosevelt as the year's
second biggest story several of

fourth term.

LEYTE ACK-ACK
4 JAP PLANES
American 'Sixth Army Head
quarters, Leyte, Dec. 15 (U.R)
This army's anti-aircraft, com
manded by Col. William L. Mc
Namee, Riverside, Calif., who at
39 is probably the youngest ack
ack commander in the U. S.
armed forces, has averaged four
Jap planes a day definitely shot
down and an equal number prob
ably destroyed or damaged since
the invasion of Leyte began.
The ack-ack guns have bagged
more than 400 enemy craft, most
of them during the first few
weeks when McNamee did not
have too many - anti-aircraft
pieces, especially the heavier
type. During his last two years
overseas the last year as the
Sixth army's ack-ack command
er he has made many improve
ments in the disposition of guns
and the dispersal of quadruple
machine guns in connection with
40-mm pieces.
. The closer General MacArthur
comes to Manila the more at
home McNamee feels. He was
commander of anti-aircraft at
Fort Drum the "concrete battle
ship" and also at Corregidor
from 1937 to 1B39. He was gradu
ated from West Point in 1927
and has been in the army ever
since.
As soon as it is possible, Mc
Namee said, he plans to bring
his wife and their two children,
Martin, 12, and Ann, 9, who live
in 1 Paso, Tex., to Manila.

Richard E. Winchester, 55

years.
. He is survived by two sons,
in the armed forces, a daughter,
Mildred, at home, and his wife,
The body is at Perl funeral
home pending arrangements
