The "M.P." is the local information bureau, too, with the primary function of helping soldiers to keep out of trouble, rather than looking for petty violations. Before his entrance into the AAF on July 17, 1942, Pfc. Schroeder was engaged in farming. Anaheim Pilot Wins Third Oak Leaf Cluster AN EIGHTH AIR FORCE BOMBER STATION, England—Tech. Sgt. Ray N.
