 courage under great odds are daily setting records of which the Navy is proud. One, bombardier on medium patrol bomber, spent 27 days on a life raft in the vast Pa cific after his plane was shot down by the concentrated fire of eight Jap warships. The other, a pharm- acist's mate on a destroyer, was credited with helping to save the lives of five Army flyers whose crippled plane was forced down following a hard-hitting raid over Tokyo.
 Raymond R. Govea, Aviation Ordnanceman. Second Class, of Oakland, Calif, and member of Local 39, AFL's Brotherhood of BoilermakerS, had just screamed bombs away" when a wall of fire from Jap destroyer below vir- tually blinded all members of the crew. "I1l never know how Govea kept his eye on that destroyer" said one of Govea's mates, another survivor among the 11-man crew of the ill-fated Navy bomber
 Suddenly Govea's craft shook like leaf, it's controls shot away, it's tunnel hatch hcled like a sieve. It crashed virtually in the middle of Jap fleet of six destroyers, one heavy cruiser and one battleship. The Nips kept firing while the men scrambled out of the escape hatch into their raftS.

DAV OFFICIAL HITS BILL OF RIGHTS

There is more transformation passed out on veterans laws and benefits than any other subject, ex- cept possibly the income tax, Capt. Cicero F. Hogan. assistant national adjutant of the Disabled American Veterans, recently declared in an address before the National Asso- citation of Personnel Directors In Chicago.
 Captain Hogan termed the CT Bill of Rights ''the biggest fraud ever thrust upon the American public and the American Veteran" !"
 Referring to the great difficulty encountered by a veteran who

six men from the Army Superfort after it was forced down between Two Jima and Saipan. The fast work of Navy doctors and the help given by Ruble was credited with saving the lives of five of the sur vivors. Artificial respiration per- formed on two other crew mem berS was unsuccessful.
 Ruble'S destroyer was escorting a convoy when 1t sighted the limp ing BPS. The plane lost no time in sending a distress signal, flew low over the convoy, then struck the water about five miles ahead.
 When Ruble arrived on the scene, the plane was nose down, with her tail assembly missing. De- bris covered a wide area. Three yellow life rafts were nearby. Some of the survivors, barely con scious, even lacked the strength to wave a welcome as their rescuers approached. Four other crew mem- bers presumably were thrown clear of the plane when it crashed and were drowned before getting their life jackets inflated.
 AFL Papermaker Gets Soldiers
 Award
 Washington, D. C.-For heroiSm without thought of personal safety, Sergt. Anthony T. Pierro of Jersey City, N. J., a member of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Paper makers-AFL, has been awarded the Soldiers Medal, the War De- partment announced.
 On March 12 at Camp Gruber, Okla, Sergeant. Pierro'S company was engaged in an assault practice against fortified positions in which overhead fire was used. Under cover of small arms fire and smoke, an enlisted man placed de- molition charge on a pillbox and after igniting the fuse, ran to safe- ty. Sergt Pierro, squad leader, up- on seeing a soldier fall wounded from a ricocheting bullet near the pillbox, ran to where he lay, picked him up and carried him away from the danger. As the charge explod- ed, Pierro shielded him with his own body. The promptness, cool ness and courage of Sergt. PierrO saved the wounded man from addi- tional injury and possible death.
 Vets Urged to Keep Policies
 Disabled veterans who may face ineligibility for life insurance be- cause of their disabilities have been urged by the Disabled Amer ican Veterans to keep their gov- ernment life insurance in force af- ter their discharge from the armed forces.
 Vivian D. Corbly, national adju- tant of the DAV pointed out:
 Under present regulations re- turning servicemen are given an opportunity to continue in full force all or part of the insurance carried while in active service. This is permitted regardless of the state of health at time of discharge.
 Disabled Benefit
 Tt is extremely important that the disabled veteran, for his and his family's protection, continue his service life insurance because of the fact that as a civilian he may not be able to purchase in- turance became of disabilities" Corbly said the DAV has joined with the Veterans Administration in a nationwide campaign to help returning servicemen keep their government insurance in force.
