Announcing the second award OF
the Congressional Medal Of Honor
within "a hours, the War Depart
ment today cited twice wounded
6ergt. Jessie R. Drowley of the
Americal Division for extreme
heroism" in the early fighting on
Bougairiville.
The 24-year-old machine gun
squad leader was recommended for
the Nations highest award by his
regimental commander, Col. Joseph
K. Bush, 442l @ street NV.
Last night the Army announced
award of the Medal of Honor to an
other hero, First 1t. Arnold L.
Bjorklund, 26, of Seattle, Wash,
who fought near Alta Villa, Italy.
That attack was one in which Sergt.
Charles E. tCommando) Kelly of
Pittsburgh, Pa, also won fame,
though they were in different units.
Sergt. Drowley had dragged three
wounded comrades to safety under
heavy Japanese fire and then sue
ceeded in locating an enemy pillbox
which had held up the advance of
his unit. He leaped atop the turret
of tank, whose crew had been
unable to find the pillbox, and gave
directions to the driver He OBJ
tained tommy gun from the crew
and its tracer bullets served to guide
the tank.
First wounded severely in the
chest, the sergeant stuck to his job
Then bullet struck him in the left
eye and knocked him off the tank
when they came within point-blank
range. Despite his wounds. the ci-
tation said, he rose to his knee and
kept firing as the tank blasted the
pillboX.
Said Col Bush: His brave &C
ton was entirely voluntary and he
refused to be evacuated for treat
ment of his wounds until his mis-
sion was completed
The actiolf occurred last January
and after recuperation in hospitals
in this country Sergt. Drowley now
wears an artificial eye. His wife
and parents live in Luzerne, Mich
The Americal Division, so named
because its men trained in New
Caledonia. was the first army divi-
sion to take the offensive in the
Pacific. 1t is distinctive in that it is
the only unnumbered division.
1t Bjorklund, the other hero. used
three hand grenades to destroy two
German machine guns and heavy
mortar to kill seven of the enemy.
The day after his exploit he was
wounded and sent back to Walla
Walla, Wash. to recuperate from in
turies to his feet and right arm.

and Dennis, too. Doesn't it seem to

Beths face was almost green
with the sudden sickness that
welled up-in her.
She went to the door and
opened it.
Il know you'll do It, Beth-for
all of US. Good night, darling"
Beth went nut without saying
anything.
She went downstairs, got her
hat and coat and let herself out Of
the house.
The clock on the mantle struck
four as the door closed behind her.
1t was striking seven when she
returned to the house and went
into the kitchen to make herself
some coffee.
Cook was there preparing break
fast things.
Nah goodness, Miz Kinnan, you
look all tuckered out. What you
dom out so early in the mawnin' ?"
Beth sat down at the kitchen ia
BILE and took off her shoes. i've
been walking for three hours.
Walking Is a good way to think,
Cookie. When you're out alone in
the daybreak, you find that YOU
can do things you never thought
you could. You can fight for what
you want, even though you've new
er fought for anything before"
You fghtin'. Miz Kinnan? All
doan believe you could!"
"Oh, yes ! CAM Beth put her
shoes on again and vent upstairs
and knocked at Andrea's door.
Come IN" Andrea called.
I've come to give you my terms.
Andrea"
Andrea pulled the blanket over
her shivering shoulders and waited.
Il have decided to go to Califor-
MIA and see Jim. l shall tell him a
story. Jim will give you a divorce.
but Jim will have custody Of Bess.
I'll see that my story will guaran-
tee that. Jim ard l. will bring I'D
Bess. You can contribute whatever
you wish. Ill see that she has the
lu%uries. You and Dennis will have
other children. This child will be-
long to Jim and me. DO you UNDER
stand?"
Andrea could make no answer.
Her chattering teeth made an
eerie sound in the silence OF the
room.
Il can't get away until this aft
ernoon. but l will go to Dennis
when my work Is done and ask him
TO manage TO get me a scat on a
west-bound plane tomorrow"
Without another glance at tho
girl in the bed, Beth walked out Of
the room.

CHATTER FORTY. SEVEN

BETH S KNEES seemed TO turn
TO water and she clutched the post
Of the bed to give herself support
after Andrea spoke in that conf
dent tone. Looking steadily into
Andreas face. where a strange
smile had smoothed away her look
of wild desire for escape, Beth felt
a chill run through her veins. Never
moving her eyes from Andrea S
face, she asked, What can you
have to tell me that could possibly
make me waver in my instructive
resolution not TO help you do any,
thing so cruel and selfish as you
ask"
Il can tell you that l know, and
always have known, that you were,
and are now, in love with Jim Ron
aid" Andrea said quietly.
Beth's heart cried NO. you
wouldn't have done this thing to
me" But she stood tight-lipped
and silent.
That's not very nice, is II, Beth :?
I pretended that I thought you
were just good friends. but l knew.

Bcth's white face was utterly

primitive, but my kind Of woman

challenging"
Must hear this? ?" Beth turned
10 90, but Andrea's hand shot out
and caught her.
Yes. you must!" Andrea said
with harsh brightness. Il want
you to know. I could have stopped
1t, Beth. You could have had Jim,
because he loved you"
Jim never loved me-" Beth said
in low tone.
He did. He's told me so. He was
going to ask you to marry him in
September two years ago. That
was when l spoiled il all"
please stop. Andrea" Beth
pleaded.
I'm not going TO stop until
you've heard 1t all. I'm giving him

love you again, and need you. will
turn from me TO you. You'll marry
him. Beth, and be his wife" Hell
voice was growing unsteady.

that you could?"

Arrangements can be made. A man
doesn't want young baby around
when he's trying to readjust HIM
self. He may be in hospitals for
months. Then he'll have to be re-
absorbed into civilian life some
how. We couldn't even be together
during the early years of the
baby's life maybe. I would arrange
so that he could always share her.
But when she's mine she's going to
have a protected, luxurious life.
You know how Dennis feels about
her"
You love her dearly, don't
you?"
Isn't that the real reason why
I'm willing to sacrifice my own
passion for Jim, Beth Kinnan? Are
you blind? I want her to have
everything that money can buy.
That's why I want you to go to
Jim and tell him anything you like.
Whatever terms you make will be
all right with me, except that /
will not see him. You think that
he will care? Yes, his vanity will
make it a blow. But you will be
there, making him see himself
through your eyes and he'll trans
fer his affections to you and be
glad to do it."

into the other girls eyes. Maybe

be I'll go to Jim. I think shall.
But first you must answer my ques-

New York City because of It's abb
lily TO give to Democratic or Re
