Show RESCUE OF SAILORS COST $100,000 EACH It cost Uncle Sam $100,000 each for the rescue of five sailors from the carrier Yorktown in the battle of Midway last June, but there hasn't been complaint. And there hasn't been any censure of the four marines Who left the $500,000 in cash on the Yorktown's deck when they discovered suddenly that the sailors of the stricken ship needed aid. To the contrary, Private First Class Peter Schultz, Short Hills, N. J., has been recommended for a citation because he put his own life-jacket around the fifth sailor, dropped him overboard, and then jumped in to help get him to a rescue boat. The other marines in which the marine public relations department evinced special pride for aiding the sailors went to Sergeant P. E. Canton of North Minneapolis, Corporal Peter Kikos also of Minneapolis, and Private First Class Stanley Kozloski of Turners Falls, Mass. Shristian Science Moniter. |
