Every effort kas being made this

orable vote br the e.s-mill school
levy which v ll be decided in spec
ial election bday, Thursday, at the

The proposed levy includes the re-
newal of 3.2 mills and an additional
3.7 levy to meet operating costs.
School board members have pointed
out that passage of thA levy is doubly
important because faill Fe to pass will
not only reduce revenye on the local
level but may-cut off an appreciable
revenue from the staj funds.
When the state foufdation program
went into effectsin 4 g6, school dis
trict had to levy aNieast mills to
participate in the 2program. Since
that time, the ami bnt has been in
creased until, in 1875, the figure will

BY the Assoeiated Press


A Maryland soldier has won
the Congressional Medal Of
Honor for an Incredible display
of valor" that cost his life but
saved a United States position
in Korea.
The Army announced today
that the Nations highest mill
tary decoration has been awarded
to the late Sergt. Dom F. Porter,
son of Joseph D. Porter, Sewick-
ley, Pa. and Mrs. Edith w.
Shaner, Ruxton, near Baltimore.
The lone surviving witness of
Sergt. Porter's gallantry, Corpl.
Raymond E. Schwab. Struthers,
Ohio, told the story of what hap
pened in the early hours Of Sep
tember Z, 1852.
Sergt. Porter was In charge of
a four-man outpost attacked by
two Communist platoons. The
first wave of attackers knocked
out the United States outpost
telephone and killed two of the
four Americans. Sergt. Porter
said Corpl. Schwab had ordered
us to stand and fight" despite
the overwhelming odds.
And fight Sergt. Porter did,
killing IL or Is of the Reds with
his rifle fire, and turning back
the first wave. Corp. Schwah
said that the fire gave warning
to the United States main line
defenders in the rear.
Early nj the fight Sergt Porter
was wounded by enemy artillery
fire, but when a second Red wave
swept toward the outpost Sergt
Porter gathered all the hand
grenades in the foxhole and
Evening star., 1953-04-26
MARYLAND Soldier Gives Life;
Awarded Medal of Honor

hurled them into hte ranks of
the onruShing enemy.
His grenade supply exhausted,
Sergt. Porter charged from his
foxhole with fixed bayonet,
Corpl. Schwab saw his sergeant
kill or knock out at least six
Reds. The enemy utrned and
ran, Corpl. Schwab added, be-
cause Sergt Porter was fighting
like a mad man."
When he was within a few
feet of the outpost his one-man
charge had saved. Sergt Porter
was felled and killed instantly
by an artillery shell.
Sergt. Porter was born March
l, 1881, at Sewickley. He enlisted
in the Army in February, 1851
and went to the Far East in
November of that year.
