Bob Hope Receives
Medal Of Merit
Headquarters Alaskan Depart
ment—Bob Hope, film and radio
star, today received from General
of the Army Dwight D. Eisen
hower the Medal for Merit in rec
ognition of his wartime contribu
tions to morale on the homefront
as well as on virtually every war
front.
Throughout the war years, Mr.
Hope lead groups of entertainers
overseas—to Alaska and the Aleu
tions, to Great Britain, Africa,
Sicily, Iceland, and many other
zones. In the Pacific he staged
shows so close to the front lines
that on one occasion a Japanese
sniper was shot from a tree by a
soldier watching a Hope perform
ance.
“Mr. Hope’s contributions were
of inestimable value in building
and maintaining the high morale
with which the people of the Na
tion—on the homefront as well as
on te battlefields—faced and won
the war,” the citation by President
Truman reads in part.

To Germany
FRANKFURT, (/P) — U. S. air
force officials awaited today the
arrival of the second section of an
eight-plan flight of six Super

two ships in the group, a pair of
B-29’s, landed here yesterday on
what was officially described as
“a routine training flight” to Ger

Aboard one of the lead ships
was Col. James S. Selser of New
Orleans, commander of the entire
group which left Tucson Thurs

“Flight is purely for orientation
of ourselves and of air force per
sonnel in the European theatre in
B-29’s,” said Selser. He said the
the planes are expected to remain
in Germany a week and then re
turn to the United States.
Selser’s plane took off for the
flight across the Atlantic from
Morrison airfield, Fla., and made
the 4,900 mile trip in 22 hours
I flying time. Bad weather delayed
the flight for a day in the Azores.
