MEDALS OF
HONOR ARE
GIVEN OUT
Gen. Omar Bradley Makes
Awards for Gallantry
in Korea
WASHINGTON, June 21 —tiB—
General Omar Bradley said today
that in Korea “the Free Nations
gained at least one precious year
to prepare for whatever may come.”
He told the kinfolk of 11 gallant
men of the Army to whom he gave
the Medal of Honor, the nation’s
paramount military decoration, thai
these men made an "eminent con
tribution” to attaining that pcrioc
of grace.
Ten of the men — infantrymen
engineers, a medic, men and of
ficers — are dead and one is miss
ing in action. Of 23 Medals of Honor
awarded to Army soldiers who
fought in Korea, only three have
been alive and present to receive
them.
The valor of these 11. above and
beyond the call of duty, was demon
strated on what Bradley said wa;
“the grim battleground” of Korea
He said their deeds had “placed
their names on the roll of courag
eous, patriotic Americans whose ex
ploits will never be forgotten.”
Profound Gratitude
For their deaths and for theii
daring, the five-star general of th(
Army offered "the deep sympathy
and profound gratitude of our Na
tion.”
“World War III was a distinct pos
sibility when the 38th Parallel wa;
violated that morning in June, 1950,'
he continued. “Any signs of weak
ness on the part of the United State
and her Allies — any shrinking
from the challenge — most certainly
would have indicated that the Free
World uras ripe for conquest.”
The 11 and the relatives receiving
the medals Include:
Sgt. 1st Class Loren R. Kaufman
Bth Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division;
his father, D. A. Kaufman, Portland
Oregon.

Two Defective Mortars Ex
plode During Marine

company.
Scene of "Real War”
The scene became like a real war.
Highways leading into the camp
were clogged with ambulances. Other
roops ran for cover. Field tele
phones started buzzing.
Bitter members of the company
told a reporter they did not blame
ihe mortar section, but felt that de
fects in the amunition could have
been noted by careful inspection.
Quick Inquiry
General Clifton Cates, Marine
corps commandant, was visiting the
base when the accident took place.
He ordered an immediate investiga
tion and a board of inquiry was ap
pointed.
A public information officer said
that of the 23 wounded, 12 were
In serious condition, at the base hos
pital here.
There were no officers among the
casualties. The ranking man in the
