Thirty-three Tucson boys now in camp will return by Greyhound bus arriving at Tucson shortly after midnight Monday. They will leave Prescott Monday afternoon arriving in Phoenix in time for a swim and dinner before boarding the bus to return home. Eleven of the boys have been at camp for the entire 60-day period.

The others have been in attendance for 30 daj's. The camp located at Groom Creek near Prescott, is owned and operated by the Phoenix Young Men's Christian Association but is open to all boys of the state. The camp has its own outdoor swimming pool water works system, athletic field, string of riding horses, permanent buildings, including large dining hall, craft shop, library, infirmary, office and 15 sleeping cabins.

Gunason, USNR. who was killed in action in the battle off Savo Island in the Solomons where his ship, the USS Astoria was lost along with the cruisers Vincennes and Quincy and the Australian cruiser Canberra.

The medal was awarded to Mrs. W. E. Gunason, the mother of Lieutenant Qunason. Baseball Pitcher Lieutenant Gunason was a former University of Arizona student, a member of Delta Chi and a pitcher on the varsity baseball team.

He was at one time sports editor of the Wildcat, campus newspaper. In a letter to the officer's mother, written by Lt. Comndr. W. E.

Truesdell, the fatal action in which the young Arizonan lost his life was described. "Lieutenant Gunason was the youngest officer aboard in charge of a turret," the commander said. "He was in command of one of the eight-inch turrets and under his command were about 50 men. Gun Crew Killed "The turret Avas firing when an enemy shell made a direct hit on it, killing all but three of the gun crew. Those three men, who were far below in the powder magazine, later died from burns." The letter also informed the mother that "your son's last resting place is with the ship and men he knew and loved so well." Lieutenant Gunason was commissioned in June 1941 and went to sea duty aboard the Astoria, serving on her until her final action.

Refusing to reveal the methods employed by the Greek patriots, lest it violate measures of security, the gunner nevertheless stated that the degree of anti-Nazi action by the islanders assures the Allies of considerable internal aid were they ever to decide recapturing the German-occupied stronghold. In broad daylight, Breedlove continued, the Greeks expose themselves to all sorts of reprisals for their deeds. "With almost religious zeal the Cretians make the kind of sacrifices which assures each bombing mission of success," Staff Sgt. Breedlove declared.

On one occasion, Breedlove recalled, an intense drama aboard his plane, "The Blonde Bomber," punctuated one of the heaviest bombing missions over the island. A new bombardier was assigned to the crew of his plane. He was a Greek, born on the island of Crete but later migrated to the United States. On a sun-soaked day last spring, as the island of Crete sparkled beneath the bombsight of the Greek-born bombardier, the plane crossed the city of Litino. On the outskirts of the town enemy munition dumps were reported to have been placed.

The area of the target was the birthplace of the bombardier and the vicinity in which many of his family lived. Hearing of this the pilot of the ship called in on the bombardier and asked him how he felt about the assignment. The Cretian-born triggerman frankly told the pilot that he was shaky about bombing his birthplace and kin, but that "duty is duty." Just as he uttered these words the guerrillas below began to apply their tricks of locating the exact emplacements. When the Greek saw this act by his own people he practically cried with jo3r, Breedlove says. "Just as he was about to press the bomb-bay button the bombardier yelled, "Excuse please, Uncle Alex, here comes your freedom!"
