Navy announces that Lt. Cmdr. Richard W. Barnum Jr. of Springfield rescued a crewman who fell overboard from the USS Mahan while the ships operated with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean aboard the USS Independence. Barnum hoisted the man to safety and returned him to the carrier before his squadron's return to the United States. Barnum, son of Mrs. Richard W. Barnum, has since been stationed at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Florida.
