Many Examples Of Courage.
There were many examples Of

THE officer, q young doctor, was
staggering along. exhausted from
inhaling too much smoke and bleed

him into the easement, but I was
too weak. Some of the other boys
helped me.
They put the lieutenant on the
table and had just started to work
on him when he snapped out Of 1t

Immediately brushed the boatswain's s

Renken said even before the gen.

manned a machine gun and two
minutes later had knocked down
an enemy plane.

The rangy gunner was getting

acting chairman in the absence OF
James Lawrence Fly, announced Its
denial.
"A great deal Of time and money
has already been expended in the
preparation Of this case," Mr.. Wal
ker said.
Under these circumstances, the
commission is not impressed with
the argument that the war effort
will be forwarded by adjourning the
proceeding sine die and lose the
benefit Of the tremendous amount OF
work which has already been done.
The commission believes the war
effort will be advanced by conplet-
ing this investigation at the earliest
possible moment"
Thomas D. Thacher, counsel for
the newspaper-radio committee, ar
gued that testimony presented by
the commissions counsel "discloses
that even II the commission pos

business interests, there is no ground
for such discrimination against ap-
pncants interested in newspapers"
Inquiry Called legislative.
Mr.. Thacher said the investiga-
ton must be regarded as legislative
In character and designed to deter
mine whether to ask Congress for
legislation discriminating against
persons with newspaper connections

In earlier hearings F. c. c. counsel
had presented testimony dealing
with the past difficulties Of radio

designed to show that no such diff

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. a.
The attack on Pearl Harbor, con-
sidering the Japanese advantage OF
surprise and air power, was described
as a ludicrously bad job" today by
Elmer Renken, veteran gunner's
mate from Alton, Ill.
Renken suffered Is wounds and
severe burns in the engagement and
was one of the two members of a
12-man crew to survive from the
easement of a broadside gun dam
aged by a direct hit from a 1000
pound bomb.
Somewhat of q hero himself,
Renken, who has had IS years
service in the Navy, discounted his
performance in an interview at the
Naval Hospital here to tell of the
mere youngsters who proved in the
attack that they were men"
Proud of Youngsters"
They leaned outside the gun case
ment, looked up at the Jap planes
and shook their fists at them
daring them to come in and fight" ="
Renken recounted. Then, actually
laughing, the kids went on banging
away. We're proud of the young
sters in the fleet"
Renken and others who partici-
pated in the December 7 attack
didn't have much respect for Jap

they had through surprise and air

BY DAVID M. NICHOL.

The peoples Of modern Europe
whom no other force or influence
has been able to unite have found
common bond under the new
order"-their hatred and fear of
everything that Naziism stands for
or does.
Just as the blitz touched of some
hidden wellspringS of character
among the English, so the gray
green legions of Hitler, by taking
freedom away, have taught the con-
tinent what it means. The con-
tinent's response has been almost
unanimous without regard to the
| attitudes of its governments, Allied,
neutral or conquered.
I encountered this smouldering,
often poorly concealed hatred on
dozens Of occasions. It charged the
atmosphere in Prague where CEN
turies of foreign rule have been in
adequate to break the spirit of the
Czechs. 1t added grim significance
to the chalked inscription Reserved"
which appeared overnight on some
Of the telephone poles there, for
Reserved" to every Czech means
reserved for a German hanging
some day!
One felt it in former Poland with
its Jim Crow streetcars for Poles
and its provocative signs limiting
them to certain stores and activities.
In Switzerland it was an invitation
to a fight to speak high German
and the feelings of the French grow
daily in intensity.
We'll chase them out with sticks
some day if we can't do any better" :"

Spiritual Kinship.
Most of the occupied areas and
the General -GouvernementS (former
Poland have been closed to Ameri-
can correspondents for months, but
the signs are evident that a similar
spiritual kinship exists in all of
them. Dutch and Poles, Norwegians
and Belgians alike have been q
source of constant difficulty to their
conquerors who have turned to the
only ultimate answer they know
| brutality. The NaZis in their turn
have been reluctant to let the world
know the full story.
The Chicago Daily News Service
once carried report from London
| that Gestapo Chief Heinrich Hmm
Ter had loosed a blood purge in the
wake of a tour of Norway. I was
called to the Foreign Office in Ber-
| lin, lectured as a recalcitrant child
might be, and instructed that some
thing must be done. declined to
deny the story without having an
opportunity to check it first Hand.
That, I was told, was impossible.
Would Himmler deny the story in
q formal statement? Perhaps. He
never did, but neither did I see
Norway.
No amount Of Nazi censorship was
sufficient to keep many founded
reports from f1ltering out. however.
The police force Of large Nor
wegian city resigned en- masse in
the face of threatened imprisonment
rather than serve under a German
chosen chief, for example, and this
fall there have been numerous un-
announced executions for anti
German activity"

there is even greater. Visiting War

TOKYO. Aug. l0.1Pl - Delay cd - An imperial comnunique asserted that Jap navel units "beat of strong naval force which appeared on August 8 in Aleutian waters. (There Is no confirmation from any source for this claim. The U. s. Navy an nounced that Saturday a naval force attacked Kiska. The com munique indicated an attack but results probably will not be known until the attacking force returns to it's base, probably in two Weeks.)
 A Domei dispateh, quoting Jap naval quarters, said "The Ameri- cans aimed at what they consid- cred the weaker link in the Jap chain of occupied territories, the S0Iomons." :" The counter offensive against the Solomon Islands and Kiska, Domei said, were describ ed by some quarters as nothing but demonstrations of guerilla warfare aimed to soften the cen sure of the American people at the impotence of the American navy"
