Nations highest honor from the
topmost Admiral of the Navy to-
day on the gallant Cruiser San
Francisco.
In ceremonies amid the grim
scars Of battle, Admiral Ernest j.
King decorated Comdr. McCandless
with the Congressional Medal of
Honor.
Comdr. McCandless, 81, took COM
mand Of the flagship San Francisco
and brought it vietoriously through
a torrent of shells off Savo, Island
in the Solomons last November 13
after most of his senior officers
were killed and Comdr. McCandless
himself was seriously wounded.
Citation Read.
Today he stood on the deck of
his battered ship and listened at
attention while Admiral King,
commander in chief of the fleet,
read citation signed by President
Roosevelt He exchanged a few
inaudible words with the admiral,
then stepped back into a group of
surrounding officers.
Hundreds of veteran blue Jackets
lined the deck and crowded atop
bordering catapults or nearby cranes.
Across few hundred feet of water
on neighboring pier stood thou
sands of San Franciscans. who have
packed their waterfront vantage
point almost every daylight hour
since the damaged ship slipped into
the Golden Gate yesterday.
1t was on the San Francisco
which blew up a japanese cruiser,
sank a destroyer and crippled a
battleship so badly it was later sunk
that Rear Admiral Daniel J. CAL
laghan and Capt. Cassin Young met
flaming death in the winning battle
against heavy odds.
Superb initiative distinguished
service above and beyond the call
OF duty" great seamanship and
great rage'-these were a few
OF the phrases applied to Comdr.
McCandless in the citation.
To Get Plaque.
The San Francisco itself ALREADY
has been designated to receive the
first plaque the Nation ever has
awarded to a fighting ship. Admit
tedly badly damaged but still under
Its own power, it came into San
Francisco Bay headed for the Mare
Island Navy Yard and much-needed
repairs
Among the witnesses at todav's
ceremonies was Cap. Byron Nc
Candies, commander of the de-
stroyer base at San Diego whose
pride in the son he called great
Tor guns was all but brimming over,
Also present were the proud mother
and the pretty wife, Sue. whose
nome is at Long Beach, Calf.
AND there were other top NAVY
men. including Vice Admiral John
w. Greenslade, commander of the
Western Sea Frontier, and Cant
Aloert F.. France, ir.. of New York
City, who now commands the San
Francisco.
The entire water front seemed
quiet and bowed during the brief
ceremonies. Suddenly the ships

There were whoops of JOY as the

specific cases.
The Presidents suggestion that
Congress grant pay raises to Govern
ment employees or authorize him to
do so apparently fell on deaf ears.
There was some hope of passing a
simple resolution extending overtime
pay for certain mechanical workers,
but there were definite, privately
expressed objections to giving the
President any blanket authority to

Against these debts on the leeis-

could count on adjournment stalling

The Seventy-seventh Congress
voted more funds than any other
legislative body in history. The
second session approved a staggering
total of sl47.o71, ,208 s6l in direct
appropriations and ALSO ,634 900 in

War Powers Bill.
Two war powers bills gave the
President authority to juggle ad-
ministrative functions of various
agencies. permitted him to revise
war contracts, order property seiz-

other things.
Congress provided for the regis

making those 20 to "A. inclusive
subject to military service. Later
it dropped the draft age to include
l8 and 19-year-olds. Draft age
limit has recently been reduced to
men under 38 years old.
1t boosted the minimum paw in
the armed forces from $2l to $50 a
month, provided allowances for
service mems dependents and set
up Womens auxiliaries for the
Army. Navy and Coast Guard.
Home Front Measures.
Congress brought the war to the
home front with enactment of a
record-breaking tax bill, the impo-
