EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBtTlfB Wednesday, Jan. I. 1MB CENTRAL PT. WAR HERO GIVEN D.S.C. FOR ITALY ACTION EX-LOCAL WOMAN, IN PLANE WINS IN RACE WITH STORK With the 88th Division In Italy (Delayed) The Dis tinguished Service Cross has been pinned on Pfe. McDonald Coleman, Central Point soldier who has been harrasslng the Germans' in Italy for some time. Pfc. Coleman Is a little guy, who packs a six-shooter almost as big as he is, but big or little. 32 Germans is a pretty good record in two actions, not count ing six or seven he got on the march, on Rome last spring. "Windy" Coleman was made a sergeant shortly after his out fit crossed the Arno near Flor ence but it didn't last long. He got a "yen" to see Florence and failed to heed sign reading "Off limits to 88th division troops" and now his mall comes addressed to PFC once more. Gets "Souvenirs" ' In action west of Castel Del Rio, a hot spot on the road to Bologna, "Windy" took off for a small Italian village In search of souvenirs. As he neared a house, nazi bullets whizzed past his ears no he pulled out his six shooter and plucked off three Hitlerites with three shots. "Windy" walked Into the house and came across six Germans setting up a machine gun. His six-shooter persuaded them to quit nd it also persuaded the officer In charge to holler for the rest of hp men and they came swarming down from every nook and cranny In the house. "Windy" swears he even saw one of them come out from behind the moulding. Hits Jackpot In the house he found six ma chine guns and 'a couple of mor tars set up to ambush his- com pany when they came down the hill. A bit later, "Windy" and some 15 other men were setting up a road-block, It was necessary to go Into house to check up on things so he and pal went in. The score: 12 Jerries. "Windy" sent his pal back with the pris oners and continued to look through the house. He found three German majors and when the dust cleared away ha had hit the Jackpot again. In the meantime, a German counterattack started up and "Windy" was trapped In the X house. A German shell crashed through the roof, setting it afire ani he was able to escape In the dense smoke. IT. TOMMY WHITE SENDS LETTER TO RELATIVES HERE Wilton A. White, Hlllcrest road, has received a letter from his brother, Lt. Tommy White, former prominent Medford high school athlete, who has been a German prisoner for about a year. It was the first word re ceived from him in three months, According to the letter, Lt. White has received no letters or packages since he was taken prisoner. He wrote that he likes the country where he is con- lined and that his leg, broken in two places when he para chutcd from his plane, is now much better.- Lt. White wrote that he Is working in the athletic office repairing equipment and has played in several ball games, He says the prisoners spend considerable time planning moala they are going to eat when released and of fishing trips they will enjoy when they reach, their homes. Their eve ning meal when he wrote the letter consisted of coffee and sandwiches, he said. Because the army arranged for a transport plane to fly Mrs. Louise Arnold from Long Beach, Calif., to Brlgham City, Utah, Mrs. Arnold's daughter was born December 17 In the same hos pital where her husband. Second Lt Jesse F. Arnold, was recov ering from wounds suffered dur ing the Leyte campaign. Lt. Arnold, stationed at. Camp White for many months, was the first wounded man to be returned to this country from the Leyte bat tles. Mrs. Arnold was brought to Bushnell General hospital De cember IB for the joyous reun ion with her husband, whom she had not seen since June. Be cause the arrival of the baby was expected at any time, the army wife was accompanied on the plane trip by her family doctor and a Red Cross nurse. The army pilot won his race with the stork, and the six-pound, seven-ounce daughter was delivered two days later. Lt. Arnold was stationed at Camp White for a time when the camp was first opened. He subsequently was transferred to the 96th division and returned to the local camp with that di vision in November of 1843, re maining here until the division left in April of last year. Lt. and Mrs. Arnold spent six weeks as guests of Miss Hazel Swayne, Medford nurse, who resides at Cargill Court, and Mrs. Arnold was employed by Western Un ion here for about two months. She returned to her home at Westminster, Calif., when the 86th division was transferred from Oregon. ' Lt. Arnold's wounds were suf fered early in the Leyte cam paign while he was serving as a mortar platoon commander with the 96th division. First aid men were unable to reach the officer for several minutes and he was forced to put tourniquets on his legs, both of which had been broken. The right leg was laier amputated.
