Sergeant Who Offered
Life 10 Save His Plane
To Get Medal Of Honor
By the Associated Press.


AN AMERICAN FLYING FOR
TRESS BASE IN BRITAIN, April
24.-Tech Sergt. Forrest L. vosler
of Livonia, N. Y. wounded radio
man and gunner who vainly pleaded
that he be thrown overheard to
tighten crippled Flying Fortress
over Germany, has been approved
for the Congressional Medal of
Honor, according to word received
at his former base here yesterday.
The 20-year -old Sergt. Vosler, who
now is in the United States and last
was reported in Deshon Hospital,
Butler, Pa, lost the sight of one
eye and suffered other wounds in
the dramatic aerial incident which
had an equally dramatic sequel.
He was over Bremen, Germany,
December 20, 1943, on his fourth
raid, when anti-aircraft fire hit
two engines of the Fortress, knock
ing it out of formation. Immedi-
ately, scores of German fighters
pounced on the damaged plane.
Takes Gmner's Place,
Wounded in the legs, Sergt. Vosler
found the tail gunner had been
wounded seriously and the Ger
mans were concentrating on the
defenseless tail. Sergt. vosler took
over, and was hit In the face by
shell splinters.
Through q bloody haze he con-
tinued to fire until the German
planes gave up the attack.
Losing altitude, the bomber
limped homeward. Gear was jetti-
|soned to tighten the load.
Sergt. Vosler, working entirely by
touch, repaired the broken radio
and sent out distress signal. Then,
considering himself of no further
use, he urged that he himself be
thrown overheard to increase the
others chances.
He argued 1t would tighten the
ship by ITS pounds and also would
better enable us to care for the
wounded tail gunner If we had to
ditch the plane" said Sergt. Stanley
E. Moody of Lewiston, Me, top tur-
ret gunner.
Plane Fell Into Sea.
Sergt. Vosler's offer was refused,
and the plane fell into the sea.
Unaided, he climbed out the radio
hatch and held onto the wounded
tail gunner until the others could
place them in a dinghy. Shortly
afterward rescue launch found
them.
It was first reported that Sergt.
Vosler had lost the sight of both
eyes. Reading this, Mrs. Pauline
Venard, Is, University of Cali
fornia coed, offered to have one
lof her eyes removed and trans
planted to restore his sight.
The offer proved unnecessary, as
specialists in America said an opera.
ton would restore vision to one of
Sergt. Vosler's eyes without grating
The sergeant, scoffing at his own
heroism, was almost speechless at
the offer of sacrifice which he re-
garded as far greater than his own.
He d was recommended for the
Medal of Honor, and yesterday word
came that the award had been ap-
proved,

JUICE TENDERIZES TOUGH STEAKS

IOWA CITY, Ia. CAPl-There is a chance that you have milkweed juice to thank for that last juicy steak you tasted.
 Prof Walter F. Loehwing of the University of Iowa botany department says that such juice is highly efficient in tenderizing tough beef from average cows.
 Before the war, meat from old cows was treated with papaya and pineapple juice, Prof. Loeh- wing says. Curtailment of imports of those juices has caused about 500,000 pounds of milkweed juice to be used annually, he added.

COOTIE HAZARD ELIMINATED NOW

FORT COLLINS, Colo tAP)- The cootie, that persistent, irri- tating, obnoxious, underwear loving constant companion of World War I soldier, has been eliminated as major nuisance of World War II by agricultural researchers.
 Homer H. Henney of Colorado State College says the cootie chemical is one of the secret U. s. instruments of warfare, but it was discovered while scientists were experimenting with agricul- tural insecticides.
 The discovery was discussed at recent meeting of representa- 'tives of land grant colleges and universities in Chicago, which heard that the. discovery will save the Army hundreds of thou sands of dollars by eliminating expensive delousing stations.
 And soldiers will be saved dozens of hours which they otherwise would have to spend reading their undershirts for cooties" says Henney
