Shot Seven Times Then Left for Dead, American Private Stumbles to Lines Br STEPHEN BARBER CAIRO, July 24 (IP) A story of how he was captured by the Italians in Sicily, shot seven times and left for dead, and yet escaped and made his way back to the American lines, was told today by Private Michael Scam bulluri of Albany, N. Y., a para chute trooper who is recovering in an allied base hospital in the Middle East Scambulluri landed in an area alive with enemy troops and was surrounded and cap tured before he could join his mates. 'The Italians took me to tcwn and stripped me of every thing I had. including food, he said. "I was led to a captain's office in the troop barracks and asked a lot of questions about how many soldiers had been landed and what kind of arms we carried. " "I told them only my name, grade and serial number and refused all other information. When I spoke to the captain in Italian, asking the name of the town, he became enraged and accused me of being a spy. He ordered my hands tied behind my back and I was led out of the barracks and stood against a wall in the courtyard. "It looked as though they were going to begin some rough stuff. I wasn't far wrong. The captain walked about 20 feet away from me, took out his re volver and fired one shot at me. "All hell seemed to burn in side of me and I collapsed. The captain continued firing at me, pouring six more shots into me as I lay there on the ground. I was moaning and did not know what to do, but did know that I was not hurt in any vital spot." Scambulluri said a soldier, apparently dissatisfied with his captains work, lobbed two hand grenades in his direction, the force of which spun him around completely. He added, however, that he was still con scious when he heard the cap tain give orders for his burial the following morning. T heard the group walk away, he continued, ana when it got quiet I wiggled to a tree about 20 feet away and worked myself to my feet. I don't know where I got the strength, but I managed to get out of the place and across the fields into some nearby woods." At dawn he was found by a group of civilians, who ran to him crying, "Peace. Peace." They helped him to where the American soldiers were ad vancing. - But that wasn't the end of Scambulluris story. After he was placed aboard a hospital ship it was bombed and sunk at its moorings. Later another hospital ship brought him to safety.

" IS YOUR DUTY By RITA WHISENANT Ltetnttd CotmttologUi ' X I'VE heard so many women remark, "If I I could just do something so I'd feel that I really had a part in the war effort. Because of the children, you know. ..." And there must be thousands I of women here who have their hands full, and have per fectly logical reasons for not doing some extra, outside job. I I IM I IOBODY expects them to take up nursing or join the WACs, but there IS some thing that every single woman j in Klamath can take part in right now. The Business and Professional Women and Sor- optlmlsts, who are handling the Bond drive this month,' have just announced a plan for every woman to take part . . . and a chance to get on the Roll of Honor.' a a a a ANY woman who turns in signed applica tions (with check or cash) for $200 worth of E War Bonds will have her name pub lished on the Roll of Honor, You can phone Judith Brown, 5193, at the war savings depart ment of the chamber of commerce, for partlcu lars. a THAT shouldn't be too hard to do, if you'll just ASK people. And it's a real patriotic duty, because we sure do need the bonds this coming week. I'VE been saying that cosmetics build your morale well, here's something that really builds morale, too.

There IS one kind of hoarding that has good results. We're talking about War Bonds. It's plain common.sense to save up now, through War Bonds, so you will have a sizeable nest egg for the things you'll need when the war is over. And of course, the faster we gst equipment for action, the sooner it WILL be over. . KEEP HOARDING WAR BONDS EVERY PAY DAY! men 3
