September IS, 1912, will live as a
vivid memory in the mind of Naval
Aviation Ordnanceman Joseph Zane
Redman, back home in Washingto
today after the disastrous torpedo
ing by the Japanese of the United
States carrier Wasp in the Solomons
area.
Tanned by the Pacific sun, this
23-year-old sailor, who is spending
his 30-day leave with his mother,
Mrs. M. M. Rothery, at 631 Park
road NV, said he was working off
his surplus energy during these
quiet" days by riding q new red
motorcycle about the District. He
said the motorcycle was one of
his first purchases when he got
home, and added that "it is about
the best release from boredom
know"
Sometimes it leads to a feeling
of loneliness, though, as it did the
other day when he took of to
Quantico to see friend enter the
Marine Corps. Nearly all of my
friends are in the services now," he
said, "and it left me feeling pretty
low when I saw this one leave the
other day"
Ordnanceman Redman, whose
Evening star., 1942-10-29

the planes were occupied at the
time.
"One flight of planes had just
landed" he said, "and most of them
had been taken below deck and the
ship had turned again into her
course when she was hit. This was
at about 3 pm, and 1t was an hour
before we began to abandon ship.
The hit was lucky one" he said,
"for it got the Wasp in q vital place,
her water mains and
the ships communica-
tions system. We had no warning
that the torpedoes were coming.
since they evidentally were fired at
close range, and even after they
struck and we were knocked OF our
feet, we couldn't believe for q time
that we were really torpedoed.
Leave Ship Quietly.
Ordnance Man Redman said he had
come up to watch the fight come in,
and 1t was one of the few times that
he had moved about the ship with
out his life belt, SO when the order
to abandon ship came he got mat
tress, which he said Is made of the
same kopak contained in life belts.
There was no disorder in getting
OF the ship" he related. 1.-THE men
lined up and as their turn came slid
down the lines which had been
thrown over the ships side. We had
trouble getting away from the ship.
due to the wind and the drift of the
Wasp, but finally managed to paddle
our way out of range of the carrier.
"By this time the fire which had
been spreading over the ship had
gotten to the ammunition, and I
saw q sailor on q mattress just in
front Of me get hit in the back by
a piece Of flying shell. That is the
first time I really felt fear, since I
knew I had to pass that point, and
couldn't do anything about It,"
Surprised by Rumors.
Ordnance Man Redman said he
was picked up by a destroyer after
about two and a half hours in the
water, and when his rescue ship
finally left the scene at about Z
o'clock that night the Wasp was still
burning. "We grippe a lot in the
Navy, and I was. one of the worst
ones," he said, but when we saw
the Wasp going up in smoke we got
pretty sad feling. It would have
been too bad for any Jap who might
have happened along at that time
Surprised at some of the rumors
which have reached him since he
landed in the United States, Ord
nance Man Redman said he hearc
once that the Wasp had been tied
up somewhere and had been ordered
not to move, and that the Japanese
knew her exact position.
If this is true" he said, II would
like for the same people who started
that story to tell me why I didn't get
any shore leave all this time.
Anyway" he said, "it's nice to
be home and able to think of some
thing else except the Navy, although
we do get little impatient to gel
back in the fight against the Japs.'

Principals 10 Report
On Volunteers 10 Help
Serve School Lunches
boIIou Asks Thut List
Of Recruits Be Turned
In Within 10 Days

Principals and supervising prin-
cipals of District schools have been
ordered to report to the Franklin
School within 10 days the progress
of recruiting of volunteer mattresses
for Work Project Administration
school lunches, it was learned today.
After meeting yesterday of Supt.
Frank w. Ballou and other school
oficials with principals Of the 10
elementary schools which serve the
lunches, the supervising principals
we're asked Ito keep in touch with the
authorities" on the progress of Par
ent-Teacher Associations drive to
sign up volunteers.
Workers to Be Reclassified.
An appeal for volunteer mattresses
was made by the school officials
Monday after District WPA admin
istrator Paul Rogers said he would
have to withdraw WPA workers serv-
ing the lunches and reclassify them
for industrial and other war work.
The Parent-Teacher Association Of
each school affected has been asked
by its principal to work out a weekly
schedule of mothers to serve the
lunches and wash the dishes.
Principals of schools in the down.
town area, such as the Thomson,
Grimke, Gales and Seaton, indicated
they are having hard time finding
any parents with free time.
Most of these people live in the
downtown area in the first place be-
cause both parents are employed
and want to be near their work."
said DR.. r. w. Eaves, principal
of the Thomson School He ex-
pressed the hope that mothers living
in other areas would help in the
downtown district.
Most of Volunteers Working.
'The parents I usually depend on
for volunteer work are all employed
now" said Mrs. E. H. Rhines,
principal of the Grimke School. She,
too, is anxious for volunteers willing
to come in from the residential
areas.
Principals farther out from the
business district reported "a few"
volunteers, but indicated large re-
serve of workers would have to be
registered If one or two we're not to
be overworked. The recruiting must
be done within 10 days, 1t was ex-
planned, so that new workers can be
trained before experienced WPA
personnel is withdrawn.
