Just two more things, briefly
stated: First, why did 1 write
Fort Huachua and 99th Pursuit
Squadron ?" In general 1 wrote it
just as I had written thousands of
other editorials in the last 25
years. But in particular, wro1e
it because these two army posts
are So competent, SO impressivY,
and hope inspiring; and in very
particular, because the officers Of
these two posts, not the white Of
ficers pleaded: Mr.. Pickens. why
does not somebody tell the truth
about this place? They come
here and go away and only tell
that it is a separate place for the
training of colored troops, leaving
the impression that it is a dump.
Everybody knows already that it
is a segregated institution, out
none Of our papers Seem to know
that Fort Huachuca is one Of the
best army posts in the United
States So spoke Shirley Crab
am colored USO official at Fort
Huachuca, in December, 1941, and
every Negro army officer and ev-
cry Negro official Of the auxiliary
services, who spoke about it, back
ed her up.
Besides that, had my eyes
and senses. Three times before
had visited Fort Huachuca and
had written about it, once in coz
demnation and twice in praise. 1t
is only coincidental, perhaps, but
the time when it got from me the
greatest praise was when two

and their Negro soldiers were en-
thusiasticaly devoted to those twu

condemnation was when Cold
blooded commanders from another
part Of the country Were in charge.
The Negro soldiers and their fam
lies hated them, and on a visit of
a few days I learned to desp;sc
them and castigated them to tie

Similarly, at the e9th Pursuit

Rickenbacker Rescue
Cheers Gen. Arnold

Great satisfaction" was expressed
today by 1t. Gen. Henry H. Arnold,
commanding general of the Army
Air Forces, over the rescue Of Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker and members
Of his crew.
A statement by Gen. Arnold, issued
by the War Department this after
noon, said In part:
when the combat airplane In
which Rickenbacker and his party
were crossing the Pacific was forced
down In the open sea, its fuel ex-
hausted, their safety depended solely
upon the equipment carried in the
plane. This equipment was the
same as that furnished the crews of
all Army planes engaged in similar
missions.
The effectiveness Of this equip
ment is demonstrated by the fact
that al but one Of those aboard the
Rickenbacker plane were. able to re-
main afloat and alive for more than
three weeks at the mercy Of opsn sea
and weather."

DAMAGE
To U. 5. and Jap
Ships Reported
Series Of Clashes
Brings Wild Claims
From Nipponese

Both Japanese and United
States naval forces have suffered
losses in a series of naval en-
gagements which started Thurs
day night in the Solomon Islands
and still is in progress, the Navy
said in brief communique to-
day.
The Navy added that no details
would be reported while the action
continues. To announce details
while the battle is in progress, the
Navy said, would furnish the enemy
with information of definite value
to him.
Since the Navy used the unusual
description "a series of naval en-
gagements," it was believed by OBJ
servers that the battle has not yet
reached major proportions.
Japs Make Big Claims.
Earlier today Imperial Toxic head
quarters acknowledged that a Japa-
nese battleship had been damaged
and two japanese destroyers sunk
in fierce three-day old battle still
raging off Guadalcanal Island in the
Solomons, but declared that heavy
blows had been inflicted on the
Allies.
This was the first indication of a
major new sea-air battle around
the lower end of the South Sea ar
chipelago, where United States Army
troops and marines have been hold
ing out for weeks against encir-
cling japanese forces.
More than balancing it's own losses
as usual, the Japanese command
asserted that powerful japanese
naval and air forces had sunk six
United Nations cruisers and a de-
stroyer, heavily damaged two cruis-
ers and three destroyers, set three
transports aflre and shot down 10
planes.
Ten japanese planes were listed as
missing.
Not Confirmed by Allies.
All these claims lacked confirma-
tion from any Allied source.
| The japanese fleet had previously
withdrawn from the Solomons after
suffering heavy losses.
Imperial headquarters said Jap
anese Warships launched the attack
Thursday and by night had pene-
traJed into Allied naval lines and
destroyed more than half of the
entire enemy naval craft and trans
ports there"
Allied communicates OF recent days
have reported that hard-hitting at
tacks on the Japanese ashore, at
sea and in the air were cutting away
enemy strength in the South Pacific.
Tabulating these blows, the Navy
in Washington and Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's headquarters said
yesterday that American and Allied
forces had damaged two Japanese
cruisers and an 8,000-ton transport,
destroyed 80 large landing boats and
80 planes, silenced enemy shore bat
teries and killed 700 or 300 Japa-
nese.
Cruisers Attack Jap Troops.
The Navy yesterday said the United
