Camden Soldier Credited With Saving Child's Life in Germany

Headline: Camden Soldier Credited With Saving Child's Life in Germany — Pfc. Allen Rudderow, 920 North Twenty-eighth street, is credited with saving the life of a two-year-old Yugoslav child recently when he observed smoke pouring from a house in Pudolstadt, Germany, where a group of displaced persons had been quartered.

Rudderow, barred by fire from entrances to the house, climbed to the roof of an adjacent building and swung across to the burning dwelling. Seizing the child from a smoke-filled room he passed the baby across the area between the building to a waiting soldier.
