terrace Sc, Washington, D. c.,
crawled up to a cave and threw In
a 16-pound satchel charge Of ex-
plosives. A Jap inside the cave
threw the explosives back.
Sergt. Shreve, unhurt by the blast
that followed, crawled away few
yards to the shelter of rock and
prepared another 16-pound charge.
He rushed to the entrance of the
cave and arrived there just as the
Jap started to come out.
Take this" Sergt. Shreve yelled,
as he swung the satchel charge.
He dashed the Jap over the head

Virginian 'Sweafs Out
Fire From Both Sides,
Trapped in Old Castle
ITALY.-Enduring American and

ITALY.-Enduring American and
German artillery by night and
Yankee dive bomber attack by day,
Corpl. Calvin Hopkins, 20, Of Falls
Church. Va, spent several terrifying
hours In an ancient castle on the
5th Army front in Northern Italy.
Corpl. Hopkins, rifieman, and
seven comrades from the 133d In
fantry Regiment, 34th "Red Bull''
Division, were trapped in the castle
after they had wrested the strong
point from the Nazis.
The patrol entered the castle by
crawling through a wa!st-wide
breach in the lofty wall which sur
rounded it. The men were con-
fronted by more than 20 hysterical
Italian men, women and children
who had converted the building into
q shelter from air attacks and she'll
ings.
One of the Italians explained that
the Germans occupied the castle at
night for guard and outpost pur-
poses.
The Nazis had temporarily moved
out. Corpl. Hopkins Immediately
searched the building and then
stood guard.
During the night the enemy she'll
ing increased and was augmented
by artillery and rocket fire from
American positions. Some of the
men suffered minor injuries from
falling stones, timber and plaster.
The uninjured stood guard all
night and treated the wounded
They assumed their officers had
given them up as captured. 1t would
have been suicidal to try to get word
back that they had occupied the
castle.
Early next morning American dive
bombers attacked the castle. Its
solid walls cracked from the violent
conclusion. Both sides Unbiased ar
tillery barrages, and the raging bat
tie of bombs and shells continued
unabated for a half hour.
Shortly afterward 1t. Wayne w.
Patrick Of Conyers, Ca, and squad
of rifiemen approached the build
ing to attack. Both groups withheld
their fire until they identified the
other.
I'VE jumped all over the place
when 1t. Patrick and the others
showed up" said Corpl. Hopkins.
Frankly, all of us had given up
hope of seeing our buddies again.
That was one hectic night I'll never
forget"
Corpl. Hopkins has been on the
Gothic Line since last September.
One brother, Staff Sergt. Joseph D.
Hopkins, is a prisoner of war, and
another, George w. Hopkins. is in
the merchant marine. Their mother,
Mrs. w. J. Hopkins, resides at 1872
Lee boulevard. Falls Church.

Recreation Hall of AIeuts, Several Dwellings Are
 Destroyed by Fire

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Fish and Wildlife Service said today that fire last week destroyed the re- creational hall and some dwellings on tiny St. Paul's island, one of the Pribilofs, in the Boring sea. Dam- age was estimated at between $30, 1000 and S35,0 ,000
 It was indicated the Service will seek an appropriation to construct new buildings. It was expected, however, that the island will have to do without the buildings throughout next year, since all building mater ials have to be imported.
 Four hundred cases of canned milk were detroyed, leaving the island with only one weeks supply.
 There are approximately 500 Aleuts and some Fish and Wildlife Service personnel on the island.
