Commander Gordon Campbell, mys
terious hero OF the British navy. leap
ed zoo junior naval officers IN promo
ton. became member Of the Distin
guished Service Order and was dec
ornted with the Victoria Gross IN
less than a year and a half. Yet with
a storm raging around his secret ca
reer. he is hound by naval ethics not
70 toll publicly how he own either his
promotion or the high honors bestow-
cd by King George.
Curiosity started mildly. but when
Campbell and the Admiralty remained
silent. the demand for Information
reached tho proportion OF q public
uproar Campbell IS not criticized,
exactly; the public really wants a
chance TO sing his praises. The music
Is ready, but English hero worship
pors refuse TO sing q song without
words. which makes the present dem
onstratlon a clamor instead of q pop
ular laudation.
A high official OF the Admiralty to-
day assured the United Press that
Campbells achievements and bravery
during the war deserve every ray OF
honor turned upon him. When the
p war is over the people may know
, what he did and how he did II, but
for The time being his war deeds must
remain behind the veil
Just recently his name appeared N

. ors for sheer bravery. SO Campbell
. must have found something more an
citing than the command Of the Biz
tern.
