ModesfAirHeroBdek
from South Pacific

A 24-year old Army officer.
whose initial distinction came
late in 194l when he was
member of the first aviation
class graduated by the United
States Army under actual war
time conditions, today can claim
fame as one of East Detroit's
most outstanding war heroes
but he doesn't!
Captain Wallace c. Schroeder,
whose arrival Sunday came as a
complete surprise to his par
ents, Postmaster and Mrs. Fred
w. Schroeder, of 1880 Cam
den, East Detroit, scorns any
reference to heroics, and abso-
lutely declines to discuss his ex-
ploints as flight operations Off
Ger in the South Pacific.
MALARIA VICTIM
Four times Capt. "Wally"
was stricken with malaria, and
lacking the ability to eat, for
months subsisted on vitamin
pills and coffee.
He is credited with SO mis-
sions, but that does not include
numberless strafing flights over
Jap-held territory. Capt. Schro-
der's dislike of display makes
itself evident in that he wears
no campaign bars on his uni
form, though his operations have
taken him to many theatres of
war. He does, however. hold the
Air Medal, which was pinned on
him in May, l943, by Comman-
der of the Fifth Air Forces,
General Kenney. He has also
been recommended for the Cross
of the Legion or Merit.
The Army officers homeward-
bound flight from the South Pa
cific took less than two days to
accomplish. He arrived here
wearing Australian flying boots
thickly lined and made for bit
ing cold weather. Schroeder eX-
planned that he flew most of the
way just under the shakespeare
where lit isn't exactly sum-
mer."
"Wally" enlisted in the Army
Air Corps just one day after
reaching the minimum age re-
quirement of 30 years, and was
accepted as cadet on Nov. 3
1910. So that he would be eli
| gible for his commission inn
mediately after his graduation
from the Air Corps, his actual
flying training was deferred for
a while, even though he held a
private flying license. This was
necessary because commissions
were restricted to a minimum
age of 81 years. He was trained
at Corsicana, Texas. at Randolph
Field, and at Ellington Field,
Houston, Texas, and received his
silver wings and commission as
second lieutenant on Dec. IL,
1941.

Navy Mechanic
Named Edison
Invents Labor ond
Time-Soving Tools

WASHINGTON-U.H - Jo-
seph M. Cooper, a civilian avia-
ton mechanic, is called the Ed
ison' of the u. S. Naval Air Sta
ton at Jacksonville, Fla, be-
cause of his time an labor-sav-
ing inventions which have earn
ed him nine cash awards.
The Navy, in telling about
him, said that he has four other
inventions now being consider
ed for awards. He has concen-
trated on time and labor saving
devices for the overhaul of air.
craft engines.
Cooper has invented SO many
different tools that he can't keep
track of all. More than 20 are
listed on official Navy records,
but not even Cooper knows how
many more he has developed
and put into use through the air
station.
And his head still is full of
ideas he has not yet had time to
develop ana put into. productive
use.
Four of his inventions are
named gear lock tool" "oil
seal pulled tappet installing
tool and engine mount bearing
remover. All are designed to do
efficiently little operations that
usually consume so much time
and effort in the dismantling
and repair of engines.
Cooper began his career at
the Jacksonville air station as a
civilian employee two years ago,
when he was hired as an in
spector in the assembly and re-
pair shop where he now holds
forth as inventor.
"While l was moving around
the shop as an inspector" Coop
e. said, Il noticed many opera
tons that ! thought could be
performed more efficiently with
the proper tools, SO l designed a
few on the side and submitted
them"
So well-received were his sug-
gestions that he was transferred
six months ago to a mechanic s
rating so he could devote more
time to building his labor saving
devices.
One of Cooper's most priced
inventions, for which he receiv-
ed $50 award, is lifting eye
that will fit practically all the
engines overhauled in the Jack
sonville engine repair shop.
Separate eyes formerly had to
be used for each type eff engine,
causing large unnecessary as
sortment to be kept on hand at
all times. Lifting eyes are used
in hosting engines for diSmantl-
ing and repair.

KODIAK 1. DIARY

You'd better shut the door. This is another draft story.
 This one, a true tale, concerns a native boy living at a remote island point hereabouts. His name is Willie Larchen. Ills name is Willie Larsen. You take your pick of those two state ments after you read on.
 One day the local draft board went through the list, by call numbers, and sent out the cus- tomary greetings, among them one to Willie Larchen, height 5 feet.
 Willie got on a boat and came to Kodiak to answer the greet ings, and took his physical. He was measured, and his height was really 4 feet 8 inches, so he was marked 4F and rejected. He went home.
 | Another day the local draft board went through the list, by call numbers, sent out custom ary greetings among them one to Willie Larsen, height 5 feet. 1 Willie got on a boat and came 1 to Kodiak and took hls physical and was measured and was real I ly 4 feet 8 inches and was mark I ed 4F and was rejected and it was the same Willie.
 It was sometime later before i it was found out why one Willie was r, gistered twice The first time he registered he gave his name as recorded at birth, Lar chen. Later a new postmaster Tn his village, with new ideas, stop ped Willie and told him with a name like that he should change it to Larsen and he, the post master, would handle his mail that way, and he'd better make out new. draft registration card. The card was made out with the new name and the esti- mated height again put down as 5 feet.
 Which was why Willie was greeted twice,
 In the meantime the personnel of the draft board changed and came a new order to reclassify 4F's and the list was gone through again. When Willle's papers were came to they were marked "4F, ! Rejected because of height" but careful clerk checked the reg isration card and saw it was marked 5 feet. So a notice to come in was sent Willie by mail.
 Just after the sending a draft
Kodiak mirror., 1944-09-23

board official, looking through the list, saw Willie's name and remembered his two registrations and his height and told the clerk so. Hastily a wire was sent, tell ing him to disregard letter in mails, do not come in again for physical" {"
 But you know the mails and the wires. The mails must go through, so he got the letter, but the wires got crossed and he didn't get the wire. So Willie caught the next boat and came to Kodiak.
 Immediately on arrival the convivial cup called Willie, a bit too strongly, and Willie ended up in jail. As usual the coppers asked for his draft classification card, which he didn't have, but he told them he was 4F.
 To check on it the police took him bright and early the next morning to the draft board.
 The draft board explained 1t to the police, and what was hard CT, to Willie. And Willie, sadder but wiser, went home again.
 We are told that once a regis tration is made it can never be destroyed, so technically Willie is still registered twice and is still 4F twice.
 Weary Willie will soon become wary Willie if this keeps up.
