Glen F. Slipsager, 33, pharmacist's mate 1c, U.S.N., previously reported a prisoner of war and father of a Portsmouth boy, and Lieutenant (jg) Earle A.

Mr. Slipsager, former husband of Mrs. Marion Malone Bell, and father of nine-year-old Frederick A. Slipsager of Portsmouth, had been listed as a prisoner of war of the Japanese.
Mr. Slipsager, who was in the regular navy previous to the present war, was taken a prisoner by the Japs in the Philippine Islands in 1942. He was interned in Camp 7 in Manila and was being transported to Japan in a prison ship which was reported lost December 15, 1944. He was with a group doing rescue work among men being bombed out of a hill in the Philippines, and had rescued two men, when he was wounded by a bomb and taken prisoner. He was subsequently awarded the Silver Star Medal, which was forwarded to his son.

Lieutenant Nason, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earle A. Nason of 30 Friendly road, Cranston, was reported missing, last December when his ship, destroyer Hoel, was sank in the second battle of the Philippines, off Leyte.
Son of Earle A. Nason, formerly of this city, who served overseas in the World War as a chief yeoman in the Naval Reserve, he leaves a wife, Mrs. Julia McCaskey Nason of Lancaster, Pa. Besides his wife and parents, there are two brothers, Second Lieutenant Richard Nason of the Air Transport Command, who has seen service in both the China-Burma-India and Atlantic theatres and Ensign Robert Nason, with the 7th Fleet in the Pacific, and a sister, Miss Rosalie Nason, a student at Cranston High School.
