which was performed August 13.
 Gives Navy Credit

Gives Navy Credit
 When the announcement of the award was made, it said, While acting in the capacity of pilot of naval patrol plane, Lieut.. Smith effected the rescue of six Army bomber survivors. The principal Jap anese operating base lay not more than 75 miles away, whereas, the Lieutenant's own home base was more than 600 miles from the scene. Weather conditions, the distance, and the known presence of enemy aircraft and submarines made the rescue extremely hazardous.
 Facing these obstacles with com mendable persistence, technique and fortitude as well as in disregard Of his own personal safety, his action reflects great credit on himself and the United States Navy"
 Simultaneously announced were awards, in connection with the same feat, of the Army's air medal to Ensign David R. Orwig, second pilot, of St. Louis; Ensign James E. Clark, Jr., navigator, of Hutchinson, Kan sas; and aviation machinist's mate Charles Wootan Kimberly, Pensa- cola, Florida.

 Three others awearded air medals were also announced today.
 They are Sgt. Clarence w. Durbin, engineer, Savannah, Mo. Sgt. Allen A. McRae, radio operator, Turner, Oregon; Pvt. William R. Colson, 2305 Sharendale Avenue, Nashville.
 A soldiery medal was awarded Pfc. Thomas Gray of Washington, Kan sas, for rescuing another soldier from burning building.
 Pvt. Grant Warren Spofford, no address, was given the same medal for rescuing another soldier from drowning in the sea. The rescued man fell in with full equipment dur ing a transfer from boat to dory making landing. Spofford jumped overheard to make the rescue.
