heroism which won him the Congress
sional Medal of Honor.
Lieut.. Waybur, former grocery
clerk, volunteered to lead patrol into
enemy territory during the Sicily in
vasion. Moving forward in three jeeps,
he and his little band found themselves
trapped in the bright moonlight be-
tween a blowout bridge and four
Italian light tanks. He ordered his
patrol, armed only with one 30 CALI
bre and two so calibre machine guns,
to open fire. Soon their ammunition
was exhausted. Three of the men were
seriously injured. He, himself, was also
badly hit. He directed his wounded
comrades to take cover in a cactus
patch while he stood with his tommy
gun directly in the line of fire of the
leading tank. AT range of 80 yards
he engage! the tank and shot the two
enemy soldiers making up its crew. He
held the other tanks at bay and finally
he and his men were saved by the
arrival of reinforcements.
During the 4th War Loan you have
the opportunity to buy a lot of tommy
guns and other equipment for your
sons and neighbor's sons-boys like
Lieut.. Waybur who want to get the
war over and are pressing the attack on
the enemy. 'Let's all Back the Attack"

A house committee has tentatively
decided to recommend legislation

The house group, headed by
Rep. Smith (D-Va), has been in
vestigating whether federal agen-
cies have assumed powers not

that:
Alleged violations of the price

be made where any injustice is
being done or where there has

duced like most other buildings in
Casino to dust and rubble.
Somehow the hundreds Of bombs
dropped on Casino March Is left
four walls of the Continental still
standing although they showed the
effects of a great concentration Of
explosives. The building did not
become important until several
DAYS after tht New Zealanders
launched an attack. Then the Ger
mans opened UP suddenly through
the front windows of the lobby
with the heavy guns of two tanks
which had been run inside.
Snipers drifted before its WIN
dows briefly tc fire on the New
Zealanders with devastating effect.
One sniper, either in the hotel or
the immediate vicinity, was report
ed by the New Zealanders to have
hit 30 men.
At Casino for the bombardment
and the fighting which followed,
l saw the hotel become dreadfully
important. It was the center of
fortress-like area which stood ath-
wart highway six at a point where
it comes up to the bottom Of Mon
astery hill from the east then
turns sharply south to swing
around the hill.
It is extremely important be-
cause in its somewhat withdraw
position it permits the Germans
to sweep the entire road angle
with their guns.
The only other position in the
immediate area Of the town that
is in a comparable position is
Castle hill which is actually part
of the town although the Castle
en- its crest seems to be isolated
some 600 feet above the main part
Of Casino. The hill dominates al
most every part of the community
and it is in Allied hands.
