Since that time he has been in four hospitals receiving treatment and at the present time he is confined to the hospital at Van Nuys where he has undergone a major operation on his left arm and is now receiving specialized treatment. "I was a radio operator and gunner on a B-25 bomber," he said while telling his story. "We were based in New Guinea and were engaged chiefly in bombing and strafing enemy installations. We had completed our 30th mission and were on our way home when suddenly we knew we were gone. It is a strange thing but we never knew what hit us." "The plane plunged into the sea and afterwards we discovered that we had hit a submerged reef which fortunately kept the ship from sinking right away. When I came to my head and right arm were all that was out of the water. A crash boat from an anti-aircraft battery on shore came out and picked us up." The information was given on the same program that he had been recommended for the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters and the Purple Heart, which he richly deserves for his valorous deeds while in active service. Sgt Schmelzer will undergo another major operation on his left arm on Thursday. This arm was badly mangled, having been caught between two objects and almost torn from the shoulder socket. Since this accident happened, osteomyelitis, an infection in the bone, has developed and the future operations will be for this trouble. Lt. K. McCloud In Pacific Battle Lt.
