Clarence J. Case of Los Angeles has been commended for gallantry by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. At Cape May New Jersey on April 11 he helped save a bridge tender from drowning during a storm. Case, 23, is the son of Mr and Mrs A B Case of 1583 West Forty-ninth street. He enlisted in the naval reserve about a year ago and served at San Pedro before being sent to Cape May. His father says he received a letter from his son describing the Cape May storm and rescues, but the son did not mention his own role until telegraph dispatches confirmed the act.
