CONDUCT PRAISED

T consider that the action Of
my officers and crew in at
tempting to return the fire, rem
dering first aid, safely evacuat-
ing all personnel, transporting
the wounded, keeping together
and returning as one party with
the dead and wounded, is suf-
ficient evidence of their courage,
discipline and fortitude.
I keenly regret that my own
injury prevented me from OBJ
serving individual acts of cour-
ageous conduct Of which I feel
certain, under the circumstances,
every officer and man performed
both while on board ship and
during the subsequent travelling
ashore. I was particularly i'm
pressed by and grateful for the
high morale and cheerful and
faithful manner in which my Of
ficers and men assisted one an
other.
I deem it my duty, however,
to comment particularly upon
the cool and courageous conduct
of Lieut.. Arthur F. Anders, my
executive officer who, though
wounded in several places, un-
able to speak and suffering
severe loss of blood, kept on his
feet, directed the fire and SUI
perviSed the abandoned ship.
His conduct was an inspiration
to all hands.
I also consider that Lieut..
Clark G. Grazier, Medical Corps,
u. S. Navy, our only doctor, who
fortunately was not wounded,
displayed GOODNESS, ability and
resourcefulness with his treat
ment Of the many wounded both
while under fire aboard ship and
under very difficult conditions
ashore. His untiring efforts and
professional skill undoubtedly
contributed greatly to reduce the
seriousness of the injuries.

TRUCK DRIVERS

Christmas gifts, groceries, news
papers and other commodities, a
series of truck drivers strikes
spread throughout Paris today as
the nation observed Christmas
eve. Strikes also were called by
grocery and auto tire workers.
Mobile guards and police were
stationed in strategic positions
and army trucks were ordered to
move supplies to the central mar.
ket. Transportation facilities
there were paralyZed when the
truck drivers walked out at mid
night, demanding improved work
ing conditions and shorter work
ing hours.
BY noon the strike caused an
almost complete stoppage of news
paper deliveries. The streets,
normally crowded on weekdays,
presented Sunday appearance,
No heavy trucks were visible and
there was virtually no traffic.

This surmise is not exclusive
with the Senator. A good many
business authorities here feel
the same way. They are
grumbling that in case Of war,
the President would first take
over the railroads, then the
utilities and probably everything
else before he gets through.
All this means is that business
pressure is likely to be strong
against war and that Mr.. Lam
don apparently did not speak
for the whole Republican party.
MUM has been the only word
W1 from that unusual visit Of
the eight apostles to the White
House the other night.
Senators Norris, La Toilette,
Schwellenbach, Minton, Pepper,
Brown of New Hampshire,
Green and Wagner were called
by the President for no appar-
ent reason and remained more
than an hour apparently for the
discussion of nothing. So they
say.
If you can add, however, you
may be able to foot these fol-
lowing facts up to something:
The President is now thinking
out his coming message to Con-
gress. Big topics will be: Revi-
sion of the public-utilitieS policy
to encourage expansion, wages
hours revival.
The eight apostles were called
in, after the four disciples had
Zen at the White House that
same morning, the latter quartet
being composed Of Messrs.
Garner, Barley, Bankhead and
Rayburn.
The apostles came out grin
ming, apparently well pleased.
The disciples came out gluIn.
RKR. ROOSEVELT was his
W1 usual friendly self at the
White House diplomatic recep-
tion. He moved around among
the foreign diplomats, shaking
hands, remarking how long it
had been since he had seen
them, asking them to drop in to
see him some time.
The diplomatic circle was star
tied. Next day, telephones at
the State Department humed
with inquiries from the embaS-
sizes, asking if the President was
serious, if he had something up.

and realized that the crew was

At the galley I sent Lang to
notify all officers that I was
in the galley incapacitated and
to tell the engineer officer,
Lieutenant q. g. Geist to let
me know if we were taking
water and if we could get the
ship underway.
BOMBING KEPT UP
"From then on the planes
bombed us continuously until
about 2::25 p. m. They ap-
peared to be attacking us in
relays Of two or three each.
The first group that came over
dive bombed from a consider.
able altitude which kept them
beyond range Of our Lewis
machine guns. Later when the
Panay was viSibly smashed up
they came much closer and not
only let go their bombs from
low attitudes Of perhaps one or
two hundred feet, but also ma
chine-gunned our decks, firing
as they came down diving.
"I distinctly heard their
guns which had a different
sound from the Panay's. I was
informed at the time that the
planes were japanese navy

to my reckoning the Panay

possible for such a small ship
to receive such damage and
still float. I was informed later
that the first bomb which dis
abled me also put the forward
three-inch gun and the radio out
Of action and brought down the
foremast.
"At 1853 .. m. the ship ap-
peared to be settling quite fast;
meanwhile before the engineer
officer could reach me to give
me a report on the status Of our
propelling machinery, I heard
a sharp rush Of steam escaping
from our steaming boiler. The
engineer officer, Lieutenant
Geist, reported shortly there
after and said we could not get
underway because the steamtng
boiler had been ruptured.
STORM OF BOMBS
About this time someone in.
formed me that we appeared to
be in danger Of being Eun down
by one Of the merchant ships. I
got Mr.. Paxton to carry me to
the door Of the galley, and from
what I could see I supposed the
vessel was attempting to come
alongside the Panay, probably
to take off our personnel.
About that instant another
storm Of bombs fell both on the
Panay and the merchant ship.
The latter then abandoned her
attempt to help the Panay. It
should be remembered that at
tacking planes concentrated al.
most all their efforts on the
Panay during at least the first
half hour.
