Victor Schmelzer In Hospital at San Francisco S/Sgt. Victor Schmelzer, son of Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Sschmelzer of this city, who was injured in action in the South Pacific last January 15, has been returned to the States and is now in a hospital at San Francisco. This information reached his parents a few days ago when he telephoned from San Francisco, soon after his arrival. A radio man in an attack bomber, he was injured in both arms when the plane he was on collided with a tree on a low-flying mission over one of the Jap held islands. One of the four men aboard the plane was killed, another lost his eyesight, and the pilot of the plane escaped serious injury. Since the accident he has been in a hospital in Australia. He will now be sent to Santa Barbara where bone specialists will attempt to rebuild his arms. The right arm was shattered between the elbow and wrist and the left arm was jerked out of the socket at the shoulder. It is hoped that by scientific treatment the use of both arms may be restored. Should he recover sufficiently for further Army duty he will be returned to service, otherwise he will be discharged from the air corps. As soon as he is able he hopes to come home on leave but at this time that date is indefinite. PVT. KILLINGBECK HOME ON FURLOUGH Pvt. Marvin D.
