Willkie

Willkie asserted that America
was "also punching holes in our
reservoir of goodwill every day
by failing to define clearly our
war aims" and continued:
Besides giving our Allies in
Asia and Eastern Europe some
thing to fight with, we have got
to give them assurance of what
we are fighting for. The 200,-
100000 people of Russia and the
100000 people of China -
people like you and me-are be-
wildered and anxious.
"They know what they are
fighting for. They are not SO
sure of us. Many of them have
read the Atlantic Charter. Right
ly or wrongly, they are not sat-
isfied. They ask: What about a
Pacific Charter? What about a
World Charter'?"
Willkie attacked what he
termed a 'half-ignorant, half-pa-
tronizing way in which we have
grown accustomed to treating
many of the peoples in Eastern
Europe and Asia"
He said leaders of America S
Allies and potential Allies were
proud, intelligent men who
agreed substantially on a need
of "abolishing imperialismy of
liberating the peoples of the
world, of making freedom a re-
ality, instead of just a nice
word"
He mentioned the Shah of
Iran, the Prime Minister of Iraq,
the Prime Minister of Turkey
and the Generalissimo of China,
and said the United States had
faile,, consistently to send them
representatives with authority to
discuss problems "intelligently"
and to take realistic steps
toward their solution.
He declared that no man of
Cabinet rank had been sent to
Russia on special mission ito
talk to Mr.. Stain" adding that it
was the British Prime Minister
who spoke primarily for this
country on the last such mission.
I'VE must wipe out the dis
tinction in our minds" he said,
between first class and second
class Allies. We must send to
represent us among all our AL
lies really distinguished men
who are important enough in
their own right to dare tell our
President the truth"

Village President William
Harper, of Roseville, was back
home today from Chicago where
he won assurances that contro-
versy over the community's de-
ferred interceptor sewer pro.
gram will be accorded recon-
sideration.
Harper, accompanied by Vii.

sell LaBarge. had met with top
flight officials of the Federal
Works Administration in the
wake of reports that the vital
sewage project had been defer
red inasmuch as it was not con-
sidered necessary to the war
effort.
Harper reported today that
Il. A. Ashton, engineer for the
FWA, after learning further
details of the necessity which
hinges upon authorization Of the
interceptor, had agreed to ask
Washington officials to reopen
the matter and to conduct a
new survey of the field. Harper
pointed out that prior govern

based upon the 1910 census Of
the village which showed a
population Of but 9,023 whereas

One-sided.
The Japanese have suffered
damage to two carriers, two
heavy cruisers and one light
cruiser since Sunday. Twenty
two of their planes have been
knocked out of the skies, includ-
ing II fighters and five bomb
erS.
NAVAL STATUS
The Americans e e m e d to
have the edge in the air but the
matter of naval supremacy ap-
peared yet to be decided.
A force of enemy cruisers and
destroyers was able to stand off
and shell American positions on
Guadalcanal from the north
Sunday while enemy land troops
were charging against our south
ern flank.
Five heavy tank and artillery
assaults were made on the west
flank Friday and Saturday but
the enemy apparently found the
going too tough there.
To add to Sundays day-long
inferno, enemy dive bombers
screamed down on the Ameri-
can-held airfield, inflicting mi
nor damage. Five of the bomb
ers were shot out of a flight Of
about 16 and Grammar wild
cats" were reported to have ac-
counted for the II fighters.
Although battered from land,
sea and air. the American SOL
diers and Marines on the ground
"held their positions" the Navy
announced.
1t was while protecting the
movement of supplies and rein
forcements to these men, who
have fought off wave after wave
of fresh enemy, troops, that the
Wasp was lost.
PROWLING SUB
She was MORALLY wounded by
a prowling submarine that fired
a salvo of three torpedoes into
the vicinity of her powder mag
azines and gasoline storage
tanks during the afternoon of
Sept. IS. A series of heavy ex-
plosions tore through the ship,
starting fires that ragged out of
control. 1t was necessary to
abandon ship about three hours
after the attack.
, All hope of saving her gone,
a u. S. destroyer administered
the coup de grace with torpe-
does and she sank down to join
two other American carriers, the
Lexington and the Yorktown, on
the bottom of the Pacific. She
was the 18th ship reported lost
in the Solomons.
The Navy said all but about
10 per cent of her personnel,
normally 1900 officers and men,
were rescued.
1T felt like an earthquake"
was the way w. c. Chapman, ID,
fireman second class. described
the impact Of the three torpe-
does.
"Men in the forward part Of
the ship were thrown around
like tenpins," he said. shells
were exploding forward and
amidships. heard fragments
whine through the air over
head.
THE ship listed heavily to the
seaboard. One fighter plane roll
ed over the side. a" Every
one lay flat on the flight deck
awaiting the word to abandon
ship"
Chapman, on leave in Miami,
said he was rescued from rub
Der life raft by destroyer.
Another survivor. James Will
bur Turner, 81, ship filter Sec
ond class, told in Atlanta of how
sailors hit the water singing and
laughing when they were order
ed to abandon ship.
"You don't have time to be
afraid" he said. "Those torpe-
does came boom, boom, boom.
Just like that"
Rescue destroyers paused now
and then, he related, to shoot
sharks that approach swimmers
in the water.

MOST RESCUED
The Wasp was sunk shortly
before 5 pm. While covering
reinforcement operations t
Guadalcanal.
(The Navy department, in an
iouncing the sinking yesterday,
said about 80 per cent of the
WaSp's complement, about 1900
was savcd).
The torpedoes struck in the
vicinity of the gas tanks, said
Captain Sherman, whose home
is Melrose, Mass. The gas sup
ply actually was in use refuel-
ing planes and other plants were
being armed with bombs. The
shock of the attack was very
great. Many heavy internal ex-
blossoms followed. The bombs,
gas tanks and ready ammunition
exploded and oil and gas on the
water caught fire"
Captain Sherman said the
flames spread with intense fury
as explosion after explosion
tore at the ships vitals.
One explosion surrounded the
bridge with gas and smoke and
caused many casualties. He add
ed that there were great many
courageous and valiant efforts
to combat the fire but that due
to breakage of the water mains
very little could be done.
WANT TO GO BACK
Captain Sherman declared
that he and every survivor with
whom he talked on the hospital
ship want to get another car
rier and 60 after the Japs.
He disclosed that he joined
the Wasp last spring after she
had been used in supplying be-
sieged Malta, in the Mediter-
ranean, with planes.
When the order to abandon
ship was given, Captain Sher-
man said, he knew there were
other enemy submarines in the
vicinity and it was mot pos
sible to be deliverate."
The men swan to destroyers
and 90 per cent of the crew was
saved, he said.
Captain Sherman paid tribute
to Commander Bartholomew
w. Hogan, senior medical Of
ficer, for carrying on without
sleep for 48 hours despite in
juries, and to Commander
Michael Holt Kernodle, air Of
ficer, who was lone of a dozen
who got life belts to men who
couldn't swim and got lines tied
to them"
True to the traditions of the
sea. Captain Sherman was the
last to leave his ship, one hour
and 20 minutes after the tor
pedoes hit.
He said he jumped into
clear water but later had TO
swim through oil-covered water.
He was in the water an hour
and q half.
Il was bruised and stiff but
after three or four days rest am
in fine shape again."
Some of the crew members
were in the water as long as
three hours and some died on
the destroyer after being pick
ed u pand were buried at sea.
