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.

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.

The picture is ridiculous, of course, but that
WOULD be the picture if you had started
hoarding clothes a few years back.
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!
