Honored Vet Coming Home
A Pittsburgher who was decorated Sunday by Slovakians for parachuting behind German lines in 1944 to help a partisan uprising will return home tomorrow. He is Steve J. Catlos, 45, of 312 E. Elizabeth St., Hazelwood, a maintenance supervisor for the Transit Division of the Port Authority of Allegheny County. He and three other veterans of the wartime Office of Strategic Services were honored over the weekend in Vanska Bystrica, Czechoslovakia. They and a fifth man are the only survivors of a 16-man team which was parachuted into German-occupied Slovakia. The others were captured and executed by the Nazis while trying to rescue a British mission. Catlos and his wife have two children, Steve J. Jr., 18, now in the Navy, and Mrs. Barbara Lasher, 21, of Gibsonia.
