Tales RFC George KojtopouJos, 85, has oeen given high commendation for his ship radio work In bringing aid to torpedoed ships. Thirteen months ago when his freighter was the midnight victim of a Nazi sub linking In the Caribbean, Radioman Kostopoulo was mighty glad for sid of American radiomen In directing help to hie vicinity.

War is not new to me. Ive seen so much of It all over the world," he said. I've teen ehipe sunk, talksd with survivors, seen Italian planes disguised with Greek Insignia bomb lng Greece, been on ships dodging bombs from planes and torpedoes from Kostopoulos had his first chance to do a good turn when a German sub torpeioed a Belgian liner. His fieighter came to the aid, picked up ts) survivors and took them to England. The Belgian ambassador personally thanked him in that instance.

Another tim an American Liberty ship was hit nearby: "We were watching it from our freighter admiring It a nice new one when bam. It blew up. There were quite a few ships around and we didn't know where the sub was. They fire them (torpedoes) below the water. So we started to zigzag and try to get out of that area.

I contacted the Navy and Coast Guard by radio while we escaped and Navy planes rescued 50 Americans. When we reached port, a high ranking officer came aboard and asked to see me. We went to the radio room to talk and he thanked mb for himself and In the name of his country. Naturally I was proud, but 1 only did what I'd want someone elso to do for me. Our time came 13 months ago.

I was on duty at the time, around midnight, and sellout a call. One of our lifeboats broke up and we lost the chief mate. I had to dive over the side and another lifeboat picked me up. Then Navy planes located us and flashed a message by lights. We waited and a destroyer picked us up and landed us in Cuba.

After our visas were cleared it took about a month we flew to Miami and went to New York, where our office was. Kostopoulos was working for the Alcoa Line (Aluminum Co. of America) at the time, under the Panamanian flag, but part of the U. S. Maritime Service.

"When I got to New York my ques' tionnaire was waiting, smiled Kostopoulos, who is glad to be doing his bit in the war wherever it is. He came In the army five months ago, was assigned to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, before coming to Monmouth three weeks ago. "Being a ship radio operator ia a real job. explained Kostopoulos. "Usually on a freighter theres only one on duty 24 hours.

I had an automatic alarm to wake me whenever we picked up a signal. Theres a lot to learn code, radio theory, regulations, how to fix your radio when It goes out halfway across the ocean. Kostopoulos has filed an application for U. S. citizenship.

CGA1L HDEALEEl AG A EEAE5ASEE What a predicament to be in! First, he had shortage of coal because his normal shipments were allocated, by government regulation, to more desperate areas. Then came that coal strike! What a break. No supply on hand, yet he must maintain his regular delivery staff. Without thought to the cost he has made telephone calls to the mines, has sent representatives to Washington, begging and pleading, for coal shipments.

He has done everything in his power to solve the problem. On the whole, you coal consumers have shown a wonderful understanding of the serious situation here in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Your patience, your cooperation, your spirit of fair play have helped tremendously to ease the burden heaped upon his shoulders a burden not of his own doing, but one he is doing everything to lick.
