WAR HERO "BREAKS THE BANK" FOR $4,150 ON VICKS PROGRAM

"And now Sergeant Whittington, you have broken The Bank!  For $4,150--an all-
time high!  It's okay with Vicks."  Bert Parks, quiz master for "Break the 
Bank", Vicks Saturday night quiz show, seems to be even more excited than the 
Sergeant, who has seen lots of action and holds the Congressional Medal of 
Honor, the Silver Star, the Purple Heart and five campaign ribbons.  He is 
Staff Sergeant Hulon Whittington and hails from Ellaville, Ga.  Sergeant 
Whittington's first thought for using the money was to erect a monument to his 
mother who died while he was in the service.  Whereupon a Seattle firm wired 
that they would furnish the monument free in recognition of the Sergeant's 
brilliant war record.
