Bridges Wins In Court

Pocatello Gunners Break Through in Pacific Skirmishes
On a U S carrier in the Pacific two Idaho men Le Vaughn Haskell and John H Eiman, both with wives back in Idaho, proved themselves after three major operations. They and the gunnery team repulsed six attacks in one afternoon, shot down a torpedo plane near a carrier, and likely destroyed a light bomber. The story ends with an odd, unrelated line about muskox.
