WASHINGTON, May 2.-In thu

American casualties In World Wal
III. the navy today listed 6,39;
bluejackets, Marines and coast
guardsmen representing every
state in the Union as dead, miss.
ing or wounded as the result OF
direct action with the enemy
In approximately four months oil
fighting on scattered fronts.
Covering the period from the
Japanese surprise attack upon
Pearl Harbor December z to April
Is OF this year, the navy report
classified the casualties as fol.
lows: Dead. 1891; missing, 2.495
and wounded, GOT. Subsequent re-
ports may boost these totals.
The prcdonderant share Of
these casualties resulted from
direct action with the enemy"
the navy said, "but included In
the total are names of those
who were lost In accidents ut
sea and I'm the air on duty
directly connected with wartime
operations"
NO BREAKDOWN OFFERED
No breakdown was offered by
the navy on the number OF
casualties in various war theaters.
but the all-inclusive list embraces
fighting against Axis submarine
raiders in the Atlantic and against
Japanese forces in Hawaii. Wake,
Guam. the Philippines and the
southwest Pacific.
The total does not include
United States army casualties. To
date the war department Of
ficially has announced the death
of 283 officers and enlisted men.
In addition. more than $1,000
American and Filipino troops were
presumed captured in the fall OF
Bataan Peninsula in the Philip
pines.
OF those listed by the navy as
dead, the majority. about 1000.
were killed in the japanese sneak
attack upon Pearl Harbor.
200 ON TWO SHIPS
Many OF those listed as miss
ing also are presumed to be dead.
some in action during the furious
battle of Java. For example. APP
proximately 1900 were believed to
have been lost in the sinking in
he southwest Pacific Of the air
craft tender Langley and the
naval tanker Pecos.
No accurate check OF the crews
on the two ships is possible i'm
pediately because a number OF
men from both vessels were
rescued and others may have
reached isolated islands in that
area.
Included in the list OF missing
are more than 400 Marines who
held out so valiantly on Wake
Island for two weeks early In
the war but finally were over
whelmed by japanese forces and
are presumed to be dead or
prisoners of war

The American destroyer quickly
disappeared in the enveloping
darkness and mist just as the Jap
cruisers opened fire in her direc.
tion-and, incidentally, at one
another.
DESTROYER SCREEN
Suddenly. off In the distance. a
signal lamp started working to-
ward the cruisers and the crew
on Cooper's ship realized that the
Jap cruiser squadron had a flank
ing destroyer screen which they
had yet to run.
But not another vessel was
sighted and when morning came,

United States and Great Britain
today are striving to dissuade Gen.
Charles De Gaulle, leader of the
Free French movement. from at
tempting to establish himself as
the future political leader OF
France.
A highly authoritative source in
Washington disclosed that an eff
fort by General De Gaulle to con-
vert his movement into political
organization with himself as its
head has split the Free French
wide open.
DE GAULLE WARNED
Both the United States and
Great Britain have let De Gaulle
know that they are unwilling to
grant him diplomatic recognition
as the head of any political re-
CINE, and the American govern
ment has intimated that it may
suspend its aid to his movement
If he persists with the plan.
The United States wants Gen.
eral De Gaulle to remain as the
military leader of the Free French
movements. but IL wants him to
confine his activities to military
resistance against the Axis.
This government takes the 20.
sition that the question of who
shall be the future political Leader
of France is one which the French
people must decide themselves
when they are able 10 express
their free will.
HULL EXPRESSES VIEWS
These views of the American
government are understood TO have
been made clear by Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull yesterday ir

ton in this country who has JUS

TRALIA. May 2.-Directing q
single American destroyer through
a Jap cruiser squadron and de-
|stroyer fiotilla unscathed is nc
mean feat in itself. but to accom-
plish il and get the japanese
ships battling each other in con-
fusion to boot-well, to a United
States Navy man that sounds like
the fine hand of Georgia Jock"
Cooper.
Georgia Jock" Is Lieut.. Com
mander Jack Cooper, soft-spoken
man who can snap out his orders
without losing his southern drawl.
You may have guessed by now
that the story OF the destroyer's
dash and the japanese bungling
did not emanate from Georgia

about anything else--unless IL is
about how Commander Cooper
led his own destroyer fiotilla
within 80 yards Of the Japanese
fleet in the Macassar Straits bat

When asked Cooper about
both episodes, he drawled:
"You know the navy, my boy.
We never say anything"
The ship which weaved through
the japanese vessels was one Of

Cooper. With other United Ma

ing through the Bali Straits at
the close of the Java campaign.
WARSHIPS SEPARATE
The United Nations naval units
had been dispersed and ordered to
make for Australia. so Cooper's
ship parted company with II. M.
A. S. Perth, the u. S. S. Houston
and the Dutch destroyer Evertsen.
The latter ships were over
whelmed in the Sunda Strait and
the Houston, at the time, engaged
the enemy with only two turrets
operating.
Cooper's vessel laid on with all
speed possible and entered the
Bali Straits near midnight. II
was just clearing when the look
out telephoned from the bridge
and reported:
There are enemy vessels on
the port and starboard bow,
SIR"
He knew they were enemy ships
because Cooper's was the only
United Nations vessel in the Bali
Straits.
Georgia Jocks" boat went
among what he believed to be a
mixed squadron of light and
heavy cruisers so quickly that he
had no choice but to drive straight
ahead, firing torpedoes TO port
and starboard as they passed.
Almost immediate explosions
told the Americans they had
scored hits, certainly damaging
two and possibly three cruisers.

men of America who have sons and sweet
hearts in the armed forces.

mother and to my sweetheart. and to all the
many mothers and sweethearts OF young fellows
like myself who have entered the armed forces
of the United States.
After the separation from my home life to
an army camp l,500 miles from the ones love.
I found loneliness in my heart that changed
my view entirely this 1 found that TO
keep this free and democratic way Of living we
must put more than just machinery and men In
the struggle for victory. We must all put our
soul and moral support first. And i also find
that a mans spirit is wrapped in the faith and
trust that our loved hold with a grip that
never be broken.
$50 with that in mind make this pea-that
those we love at home keep always in their
hearts and tell often that they have faith In
us. Do not let us down and will fight until

presenting n compulsory course on vocations.
This would be conducted by an expert In per-
sonnet Employers, union leaders and actual
workers would be invited to speak before these
classes. The students would learn concrete facts
about the labor market-what occupations are
available, chances Of finding job, pay, working
conditions and requirements for employment.
They would visit plants and offices and watch
the people at work and talk TO them.

MYSTERIES?

Loretta Dennison Of San Jose, Calf.
makes a few remarks of the hosssense
variety concerning the Women's Army.
Dear Elsie Robinson
Are We getting hysterical over this war?
This talk Of drafting women for war makes II
look that way. In all the public opinion polls
and other 'uhoop-it-up' propaganda for drafting
women. has one single reason been advanced for
the necessity Of such move? No Because
everyone knows there is no such necessity. win
millions Of men still unemployed and undrafted,
Their Is no excuse for organizing a womenS army.
How can this country possibly afford the
sxpenSe-the large hut inevitable drain on our
already strained national finances? Imagine the
millions IL would take 10 uniform and equip mil
lions OF wOmen--and for what? To provide ex-
element and gIamOr for a bunch OF otherwise
idle women who would spend their time muddling
through makeshft and unnecessary activities.
To be sure England has trained womens army,
but England's needs are entirely different from
ours.
Canada still has not conScrpted men for
military service. II CONSUMPTION OF men Is I'm
necessary in Canada. does It seem reasonable
that zee should conScrtpt t0omen IN the United
States?
