A brave and durable Air Force
corporal received Silver Star and
Purple Heart medals yesterday at
Boiling Air Force Base.
Under normal circumstances the
awards would have been postum
nous. 1t was an odd coincidence
that an earlier injury should have
been the thing that saved the life
of 19-year-old Corpl. Richard F.
Webb.
Knocked down in a hand-to-
hand fight with g North Korean
near Taechon last November, the
youth lay still as the Communist
pressed the muzzle of his rifle to
the corporal's forehead and fired,
The bullet bounced off half dol
lar-si2s metal plate in Corpl.
Webb's head.
"All I can say is that God was
with me-" Webb said about his
escape.
The metal plate, Of tantalum,
was put in place in 1947 to save
the boys life after he suffered a
skull fracture in a truck accident,
After shooting him, the COM
munists bayoneted him in the
shoulder and left him for dead
His luck held out. however. and
the bayonet glanced off a bone.
Corpl..~ Webb played dead for
two hours before he retrieved a
Ijeep nearby and headed back for
the u. N. lines.
He had gone about a mile, with
out lights and in pitch darkness
when he missed a turn III the
twisting road and plunged over
"a 20-foot embankment. The jeer
was demolished. but Corpl. Webb
escaped further serious injury.

day Arnold F. Snead may recover
from his self inflicted bullet
wound. while police prepared
murder charges against the 35-
year-old garage mechanic for the
Staying of his estranged wife.
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Snead, 80,
was shot and killed yesterday be-
hind the counter of a downtown
department store where she was
employed as a saleswoman.
Horrified shoppers heard her
scream and then saw Snead whip
out a pistol and fire it at her
chest as she apparently attempted
to flee. Police said he then fired
two more bullets into her body.
Snead then turned the pistol
on himself in an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide. The
couple. parents of an 8-year-old
boy, had been separated for a
week.
Police said Snead telephoned
his wife and then came to see her
at the store crowded with Friday
afternoon shoppers. They talked
for few minutes, witnesses said,
before Mrs. Snead screamed as
her husband pulled out his az
caliber pistol and fired.
Mrs. Snead and her son lived
with her father, John T. Layman.
a Batesville farmer, some IA miles
