He had suffered a slight wound
from a ricocheting bullet which
struck him in the mouth. Pvt.

shoulder In the same fusillade
which resulted In Gately's being

The way In which the marines
took the japanese positions and
their two little villages should go
down in marine history as another
of many great sagas of heroism.
Our forces reaching Kukum, one
of the main Japanese camps on
Guadalcanai, on Saturday, August
3. the day after our landing, found
the camp deserted. They also
found. on the beach. a japanese
pompom, or multiple mount OF
heavy machine guns, about IL In
caliber, loaded and ready to fire,
abandoned by the japanese crew.
No doubt the Japs had been
frightened back into the hills, and
left their weapon in the greatest
haste. when shells from lombard
ing American vessels began TO
scream into the island, and shred
the encaInpment on Kukum with
high explosives.
On the day following capture OF
the Kukum camp, Sunday, Ameri-
cans taking over the area fired a
few trial rounds from the pompom
gun. The rounds went out TO sea.

was hit, inflicted mortal damage
on the japanese who shot him.
II talked 10 Gately as he lay flat
on his back on a stretcher, and
he told me the story.
He had seen the Jap crawling
toward him through the jungle,
but thinking the enemy marine
he had calmly waved a hand and
said Hold your fire"
Then, said Gately. he noticed
that the Jap was not a marine,
and tried 10 fire his submachine
gun. only to find that the safety
was in ION" position. The Jap
tried to fire at the same time,
but something had gone wrong
with his rifle. too. He, too. tried
TO clear the gun, and managed to
get off the first shots. Gately was
hit and fell, but got off a burst
Of five shots, one OF which hit
the Jap MORALLY through the lungs.
Decide to Return
We were still under sporadic
rifle fire as corpsmen came up 10
ltend the wounded, and there were
levidently machine guns facing US
ahead, so even though by that
time we had killed two OF the
Japanese snipers, Ii was decided
to return TO camp.
Captain Kaempfer ordered the
return to our starting point. and
we headed back. sending the
wounded to the rear on "jeep.
AS we trudged along the road. the
thought of the japanese perfdy
was irritating.
Even though we had half ex-
pected il, we still were surprised
TO find that they would hoist the
white flag, then lie in ambush for
us when we came to receive their
surrender.

Cal, commanding officer OF the
unit nearest the japanese position.
vowed. We'll get them If IL takes
whole battalien." And he took
the necessary steps.
II was estimated there were
about 200 Japanese soldiers in the
camps ranging along the shore
between Matanikau and Kokum-
bona. So we sent out enough men
to take the Japs from three sides,
and drive them into the sea.

marines say In nautical fashion,
secured" for the time being, we
started out. TO 60 on foot down
the coast from Kukum 70 Matani-
kau, and into the village TO receive
the Japanese surrender.
The detachment was under the
command OF Capt. William p.
Kaempfer OF Syracuse. N. Y, who
had been one of the first marine
officers to land on Guadalcanal.
He led the second boatload OF men
to jolt UP on the grayish sands OF
the beach where we landed.
Among the officers under Cap
tain Kaempfer on that jaunt along
the coast was 1t. John j. Cately
of West Roxbury. Mass. who in
later developments Of our adven-
ture was to prove himself a hero.
Captain Kaempfer is short and
well built. He has dark hair but
clear blue eyes and his mien Is
slightly sardonic. He is in his late
twenties.

They Pause in Open

With Captain Kaempfer in the
lead on Monday, August 10, we
started along the road leading
from Kukum to Matanikau, ready
to receive the japanese surrender.
Our expectation was TO walk into
the camp without firing shot,
but Of course we were prepared to
shoot II necessary.
And 70 we hiked along the road,
which consisted only Of two auto
tracks, through several miles Of
seuly spaced cocosnut trees,

Sudden Silence

The bullets were still pinging
into the sand around the log and
-whizzing over our heads when one
OF the lads spotted a Jap sniper
down the beach. Riddle the -"
somebody shouted as he ran for
cover and our automatic rifles
spoke hard and fast. I could not
see the Jap from my position. but
a mutter of satisfaction told me
he had been hit.
I worked my way back toward
the Jungle road. and reached the
heavy foliage at the edge of II
just in time TO hear fusillade of
shots ahead of me. Then there
was sudden halt and silence.
Lieutenant Gately had been
wounded. / found he had been hit
twice in the chest and once in the
leg. but no bones had been broken
and apparently the wounds were
not critical. Pvt. Herbert ]. Doyle
of Essex. Mass, was the marine
who had been hit back on the
beach.

thy thought the japanese were
trying to surrender. The situation
was humorous because that day
the Americans were too busy or
ganizing their own positions to be
able to go and receive the surren-
der of the japanese.
We thought il was comlcal that
the japanese concept OF face and

sun-bleached log. Just at that
moment a heavy rain of fire came
at them from down the beach.
We could hear a machine gun
chatter, and then saw the marines

them had been hit. They passed
the word along. Send UP a corps

and we could hear the cry moving

CHURCH MEMBERS
SIGN PETITION

A petition signed by more than
three hundred members of four
church congregations in st. Paul
asking that the liquor industry be
required to go call out" for CONVEX
sion to war production was sent to-
day to President Roosevelt and the
War Production Board. The petition
was circulated by the st. Paul In
terdenominational Alliance of which
Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson, pastor
of the Camphor Memorial Method
list Church, is the president and the
Rev. C. B. Wheeler, pastor Of the
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, is the
secretary. It said:
1--WE, the undersigned, desire to
90 on record as in favor of requir-
ing the makers and distributors OF
alcoholic liquors to use their plants
and facilities as other industries
are doing to win the war, so that
the four billion pounds of grain,
sugar and molasses now being used
for beverage purposes and the half
million men employed in this indus
try may be released to help secure
the results for which we strive and
must strive in the present emer-
gency."
Churches whose members signed
include the Camphor Memorial

publishing training schedules and
assisting in the work of co-ordinat-
ing activity for the battalion.
Not missing a rung on the lad
der, Sergeant Reed was given the
grade of Technical Sergeant the
first of this year. When he came
to the new 18th regiment, his rat
ing was upped again, this time
Master Sergeant, the highest grade
available for an enlisted man.
The job that Sergeant Reed is
now assigned would carry an ex-
ecutive title and salary in civilian
life. He is directly in charge of
the entire enlisted administrative
staff. He supervises the great pile
of work that the men handle each
day. The many essential army
records, orders and personnel mat
tiers are his direct concern.
Sergeant Reed is a graduate of
the University of Minnesota, class
of 1889. After receiving his bach
elor degree, the sergeant stayed on
at school to do research work in
his special field of concentration,
bacteriology. The sergeant worked
his way through the University
handling a great variety of jobs.
One of the most remunerative,
though most demanding, was being
Red Cap at Union Station.
Despite the fact that Reed had
to work to put himself through
college, his record at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota is outstanding.
The same ability to concentrate
and get a job done that Sergeant
Reed showed while in college, has
carried him up in the army.
Before entering the service, Ser
geant Reed was active in the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. He was
chairman of the St. Paul branch.
