March 16, 1944 Megleglectful Japan War Worker Saves Life of U.S. Marine By T/Sgt Milburn McCarthy, Jr. Marine Corps Combat Correspondent BOUGIANVILLE, (Delayed) — There's at least one N.S. Marine live today because of a mechanical error made by a Japanese war worker. The Marine, Pfc. Anthony Martin of Los Angeles, Calif., had a 55-pound bomb hit two feet from his head. It failed to go off. Pfc. Martin was flattened out in his foxhole, but that wouldn't have saved him if the bomb had exploded. Only two feet away, the blast would have torn through the wall of the foxhole and filled Pfc. Martin full of Japanese wrapnel. "It was one tough night," recited 22-year-old Pfc. Martin, a well-blooded Blackfoot Indian who used to box professionally around Los Angeles. Felt Bomb As It Struck "I heard the planes diving," he said. "Then I heard the stick of bombs coming. 'Whoooosh, Whooooh,' they screamed. My stomach muscles dug me about six inches deeper in my foxhole." Then the whole earth shook, explosions went off all over the face, and I felt something shove bottom of my foxhole up in my face. Our ack-ack was filling the air at the same time, and there were so many explosions I didn't know what was coming off. But since nothing more happened to me, I figured the nearest bomb explosion was about 50 yards away, and that was what had taken the bottom of my foxhole. Gasoline Coupons Cut One-Third Effective March 22, when No. 11 "A" book gasoline coupons become valid, motorists will be allowed only one-third as much gas as they have been able to obtain within a month on their A tickets. Each coupon will be good for three gallons of gas, as heretofore, but the block of No. 11 coupons will have to last for three months instead of two, reducing the per week gallonage to two gallons instead of three. This new ruling applies to all states west of the Alleghney mountains. Holders of "B" coupons in the five states of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona, will have their monthly mileage reduced from 460 to 400 miles. Wings Received By 'Jerry' Heinz At Recent Ceremony Recent visitors to Anaheim were Second Lieut. Gerald B. Heinz and brother, First Lieut. Robert J. Heinz, sons of B. J. Heinz of North Palm street. Lieut. G. B. "Jerry" Heinz graduated on March 12 from advanced pursuit training at Williams' Field, Arizona, receiving his pilot wings and commission in the Army Air Corps. His brother flew to Phoenix from Denver where he is assistant base operations officer at Buckley field, Colorado, for the event. After the graduation exercises the brothers flew to Santa Ana where they were greeted by their father. Lieutenant "Jerry" is a graduate of Fullerton schools and joined the air corps in February. James E. Walker Submits to 'Draft' Of Party and Army According to a prepared story released from Democratic headquarters, H.C. Head, county central committeeman, states that leading Democrats of Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties "drafted" James E. Walker of Santa Ana to be the party's candidate for nomination to congress from the 22nd district. Walker has been a strong supporter of the Roosevelt administration and the principles guiding the Democratic party, Head said. "We drafted James E. Walker with the full knowledge that he would join the armed forces this month and that he would not let anything interfere with his entering the military service, and that he could not actively conduct a campaign in his own behalf. We appreciate the spirit in which Mr. Walker submits not only to military service, but also to the demands of his political party and its welfare." It was pointed out today in political circles that Army regulations, to which Mr. Walker will soon be subject, prevent him from participating in the campaign in any way, but his many friends will carry on an active campaign in his behalf.

Our ack-ack was filling the bay at the same time, and there were so many explosions I didn't know what was coming off. But since nothing more happened to me, I figured the nearest bomb explosion was about 50 yards away, and that was what had taken the bottom of my foxhole. Since bombs were still dropping and ack-ack still going, I can't dare stick my head up. So event back to sleep. After all, didn't have enough strength to awake." At dawn, when Pfc. Martin Luke, he looked over the rim of foxhole and saw the fin of the lab. The bomb had dug into the ground. Plowing diagonally, it had stopped directly under Martin's foxhole. When I saw that fin I sure jammed out of there," he said. NORS BRIDE-ELECT Mrs. Gerald Baker entertained a week with a pretty shower. Miss Betty Dickenson, bride of Leonard Becker, also of city.

SON BORN RECENTLY Mr. and Mrs. Anson Lewis of Anaheim made known this week that they are the proud grandparents of Terry Arnold, born February 19 to Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Lewis of Bell. Maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. William Gunnell of Maywood. SERIOUSLY ILL Mrs. Anna McDuell of West La Palma street received word this week that her son, Lieut. John McDuell of the U.S. Navy has been seriously ill somewhere in the South Pacific, but is now recovering and rapidly regaining his strength. Yanks in the South Pacific have a new offensive weapon, a cannon and machine gun-firing armored amphibian tank, the "Water Buffalo," a Southern California product. It was revealed for the first time today, the tank has been one of the reasons for the success of the United Nations invading forces in the battle for the Marshall Islands and other recent island-takings. Equipped with a revolving turret, a .37 millimeter cannon, a .50 calibre machine gun and two .30 calibre machine guns, the "Water Buffalo" has proven a new striking power for freedom. The new fighting arm of the Navy, Army and Marines is put over board by ships. They swim ashore, surmount barriers, whether they be reefs in the water or blockades ashore, and knock out blockhouses with their cannon; strafe troops with their machine guns. Until today, the only permitted information regarding the "Water Buffalos" was that they were a troop and cargo-carrying tank equipped with light machine guns. The new turret-equipped tank, which can fire from any position has been turned out in quantities during recent months by the Food Machinery Corporation.
