Claude Leonard In Action Aboard Sub-Chaser Claude Leonard, motor machinist's mate, 2/c, USNR, of 413 West Chestnut street and member of a 40-mm gun crew, has been seeing plenty of action in the Pacific and he won't soon forget the invasion of Leyte where he was serving aboard a sub-chaser. A Jap vessel, part of a force which came out from hiding to give battle to the American fleet Owen B. Johnson Commissioned Ensign in Navy Owen Bryce Johnson, 22, son of Ernest R. Johnson of route 3, box 327, Anaheim, has been recently commissioned an ensign in the naval reserve and designated a naval aviator at the Naval Air Training bases, Pensacola, Fla.

Ray Wangrud Enroute Home WITH THE 6TH ARMY ON LUZON. — Sgt. Ray Wangrud, who holds the Silver Star, is now enroute home for reassignment under the Army's redeployment plan. He is the son of Mrs. Magda H. Benson, route 2, Anaheim, and has been overseas since August, 1942, serving from New Guinea to the Philippines. In the Army since March, 1941, he is a member of the famed Alamo Scouts of General Walter Kruger's Sixth army and as such brings home with him many memories of how a crack outfit has done the infighting in a very rugged war. He knows how quiet a jungle looks in the hot sunlight while observing the enemy within touch of his hand and he knows how a beachhead looks at night from... Sub-Chaser Claude Leonard, motor machinist's mate, 2/c, USNR, of 413 West Chestnut street and member of a 40-mm gun crew, has been seeing plenty of action in the Pacific and he won't soon forget the invasion of Leyte where he was serving aboard a sub-chaser. A Jap vessel, part of a force which came out from hiding to give battle to the American fleet units, lobbed in a shell that smashed the ammunition magazine. With the deck afire and with explosion threatening the commanding officer ordered partial abandonment. After a desperate fight the heroic crew members who stayed behind managed to control the blaze and avert further explosions. Moving from under the protective covering of a smoke screen the ship was then attacked by a waiting Jap bomber. A bomb exploded off the port quarter and two other near misses shook the subchaser but no further damage was done. A small, newly-painted Japanese flag now adorns the bridge. ASSIGNED TO NEW SHIP Ensign Warren Heckman, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Heckman of 519 East Chartres street, has been assigned to a recently commissioned ship and expects to ship out soon. Stationed on the east coast he is hoping to have a leave at home before going to the Pacific. His brother, Harry, is stationed with an army of occupation in Germany.

A former student at Anaheim Union High school, Phillips entered the Navy in May, 1944. Railroaders identify various types of locomotives by the number and arrangement of wheels from front to rear. The Union Pacific locomotive pictured above is known as a "4-8-8-4"... two pairs of small wheels in front, then four pairs of driving wheels followed by a similar unit, and two pairs of smaller wheels in the rear—not including the tender.

This giant of the rails is 132 feet in length and weighs approximately 600 tons. Water capacity is 25,000 gallons; fuel 28 A fleet of 25 "Big Boys" is now in U.S. Pacific service. Built primarily to haul freight loads on western mountain grids they have proved invaluable in transing tremendous quantities of war material over the Strategic Middle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast. The "Big Boy" is a typical example of American industrial skill and labor, sparked the spirit of individual enterprise; the that 65,000 Union Pacific employees working and fighting to keep alive, to a bright future for your America. ★ Listen to "YOUR AMERICA" on your favorite Mutual Network Station 1 to 1:30 pm every SUNDAY afternoon.
