DETAILS OF SGT. CLEVENGER'S DEATH
LEARNED IN LETTERS FROM HIS SISTER

Details of the death in France of
Technical Sergeant Robert w.
Clevenger, formerly Of Redwood,
have been learned by his family
from letters received over the
weekend from a sister, 1t. Hila
Clevenger, Army nurse stationed in
France, and an Army chaplain.
Sgt. Clevenger died about 6:35
pm. June Is from pleurisy with
effusions and pneumonia He was
inferred in a military cemetery in
Marseilles. on June 20, with bis sis
ter attending the services.
Memorial services for him were
held in the First Baptist Church,
Redwood in connection with reg
ular morning services, Sunday
morning. Brief but impressive, the
services were conducted by the
Rev. Donald Hobbs, present pas
tor, and the Rev. Herbert GOewey,
former pastor of the church but
now an Army chaplain. The latter
had seen Sgt. CIevenger in France
a short time ago. The services
consisted Of appropriate remarks
by the two ministers, and the read
ing of Scriptural passages which
were favorites of Stg. Clevenger's.
First Word To Brother
First word of Sgt. Clevenger'S
death was contained in a V-Mail
letter received by a brother Will
lard Clevenger, of near Pharis-
burg, from 1t. Hila Clevenger, at
noon Thursday. She asked him to
tell Sgt. Clevenger's parents and
wife.
Just let them understand ne
passed away very easily and that
he was reconciled to whatever God
had in His plans for him." she
wrote.
He was sick in the hospital
four days and everything was done
for him that was humanity pos
Sible to do"
Letter To Parents
In a letter to her parents, writ
ten June 20, 1t. Clevenger said
they had performed Chest taps"
on him to remove the fluid and
"were preparing another one when
he raised his head to see what they
were doing and then put it back
down and was gone. 1t was a very
easy death with no severe pain or
struggle.
THE chaplain has been more
than kind to me and told me he
had been with Bob a great deal
and they had prayed together
many times.
THE funeral was this morning
and I'm happy that / could be here,
happy that one of his loved ones
was present for the service.
THE cemetery is a very nice
little place and with a little more
time will be quite beautiful. 1t has
white fence around it and pretty,
white stone pillars at the en-
trance"
Tells OF Trip There
On the same day, 1t Clevenger
wrote to Sgt. Clevenger's wife, the
former Margaret LeMasters, of
Redwood, substantially the same
information she sent her parents.
She also told of meeting a friend
of Bob's, named "VIc" and from
all the bits can piece together, he
has not been too well since coming
to France; he just never let us
know anything about it -.
'The Army issued me orders to
come here as fast as they could
and gave me air authority so |
could fly down with the least pos
sible delay"
(From the tenor of 1t. eleven
gers letters, and from information
from the chaplain, however, it is
believed she was unable to reach

 Finally. with bitter disappoint- ment, the exile received from Fran co in June, 1943, an offer to restore the monarchy under the Franco re- gime.

 Juan's heated reply declared 'my acceptance of this demand would imply evident negation of even the essence of monarchy Accept ance of the Falange would tend to encourage discords which would ruin the restored monarchy in the tu- ture :" and called for urgent in- stallation of new national regime and Catholic monarchy, would find itself free from compromising posi- tions and injurious ties and capable of carrying out the concept of strict neutrality"

Don Juan Looks For1Oard to Early
 Restoration to Throne of Spdin
By HOWARD COPPENBARGER
 NEA Stan Writer


 NEA Stan Writer
 Prime prerequisites of pretend ing monarch are patience and per- severance. Sometimes these quail ities pay of.
 Don Juan de Bourbon of Spain, who for IA years has been patient and persevering, may soon be re- warded by restoration to the throne of Spain, upon his own terms.
 Rumor is that Dictator General issimo Franco, onetime friend and sometime foe of the 32-year-old exile whose followers hopefully call him King Juan III, sent two emissarieS to the Lausanne, Switzer- land, villa of Bourbons with an in- vitation to return to Spain. Cir- cumstances lend credence to that rIImor.
 Franco's back is against the Wall. Spain is a summed ntaion, its Axis friends beaten and it's belated efforts to conciliate the democracies cold-shouldered.
 Franco shook up his cabinet this summer, kicked out nine of his 13 ministers, mostly Falang- ists, and replaced them largely with Monarchists. He waited in vain for applause from Great Britain, France and the United States. The next step obviously is restoration of the Monarchy, which he has long promised and which is believed to be favored by many Spaniards.
 Juan holds priority to the throne by right of lienage. His friends believe his personality and back ground would make him accept able both to the Spaniards and to the democracies.
 TRAINED IN BRITAIN
 Don Juan de Bourbon, in his earlier life, was somewhat a Spanish counterpart of Britain,s Edward, Prince of Wales. He was slim, tall, dark like his father the late King Alfonso XIII. He was democratic, made friends easily and was a favorite with the ladies.
 Third in line for inheritance of the throne, Don Juan spent a childhod free of the restrictions bearing on crown prince. Alert intelligent, physically active, i1e loved the sea and was attending the San Fernando Naval Academy at Cadiz when the Republican revolution in 1891 drove the royal family into exile. His father en- tered him in Dartmouth Naval college, England, and after c years training Don Juan enlisted in the British Navy.

 The exiled King Alfonso was cheered, too, by Franco's appar- ent friendliness. He contributed $1OO0O 900 of his personal fortune to the revolution and frequently conferred with Juan March, Franco's "contact" man in Rome. Britain, hoping the revolution would banish communism from Spain and that return of Alfonso would prevent fascist dictator ship, was plugging for a mon- archy, and Italy was favorable.
 But Franco had stronger oblga- tions. Hitler held both a debt and a threat over his head, and Hitler could use Spain more profitably under fascist dictator than under king whose only interest was in the peace and prosperity of Spain Besides, there was too much Brit isfl about Alfonso and Juan. AL fense's estranged queen, Victoria Eugenie, was a British princess. Juan had been education in Eng land and still was a reserve officer in the British Navy.

While he was in this service, in 1883, his father cabled him that his oldest brother, Alfonso, Prince of the Asturias, had relinQuished his claim to the inheritance be- cause of his health-he was 8 victim of haemophilia, and several years later died after on auto acci- dent. Don Jaime, second in line also had stepped aside because of his health-he was deaf mute.
 Don Juan refused to leave the British Navy to take up his in- heritance, and served until 1935, when he left to study law and political economy at Florence uni- versity in preparation for his royal position. In the fall of that year he further evidenced his faithful ness to his obligations by marry- ing Princess Marie de la Esper- anzo, his second cousin and a daughter of the last King Of Naples.
 The couple toured the world on their wedding trip and made friends throughout every country they visited. Prince Juan already was looking forward to restora- ton of the monarchy.
 His hopes skyrocketed with the beginning of the Franco revolu- ton, and on July 31, 1886, the day after his first child, daughter, was born he stole across the border into Spain to offer his strength and life for the defense of the Spanish nation and re- ligion."
