DON'T DESPAIR, my pretty

advise you 10 buy one or two
well-made garments for the on
coming seasons.
Later, II the supply is near
exhaustion. some ingenious per-
son will come forth with a SUBJ
stitute.

White House Rule Sought
By WlB on Rail WAGES
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The War Labor Board, authori-
tative sources disclosed today, has
decided to propose a presidential
order to assure that railroad wage
decisions shall be made in con-
formity with the sterilization primo
iples 1t has laid down.
The National Mediation Board has
taken jurisdiction of the first major
railroad wage dispute to arise since
the War Labor Board was consti-
tuted and the WLB, it was learned,
is concerned about the possibility
of a depression from the wage pat
tern 1t has cut out for the rest of
industry and commerce.
The Labor Board has proposed
informally that the White House
issue an executive order requiring
any emergency railway wage panel
to take cognizance of the WLB wage
policies and to file with the WLB
a copy of its recommendations
which would be subject to review
and comment for a 30-day period
The railway wage dispute involves

to the fantail and the bodies were
prepared for burial. We buried
about IS, five at time. Each was
given the customary burial service
at sea.
while the service was in progress
the alarm was given and another
attack was on, this time by both tor
pedo planes and dive bombers. One
bomb and one torpedo hit the ship.
The torpedo appeared to strike in
the vicinity Of the fantail. The
explosion of the torpedo was quite
severe. The burial service was in
terrupted. We all got on our knees,
assuming a position designed to
safeguard our bodies from the
shock. The blast blew me up in the
air a considerable distance. 1t
caused very few casualties. The list
to starboard increased. We almost
had to hang on to keep from sliding

Carrier Abandoned.

said, and shortly after pm. orders
were given to abandon ship.
I'VE went down ropes and in
cargo nets. went down on a rope,
got In the water and headed for
a raft. When 40 yards from the ship
I heard the carriers gun and a de-
stroyer's guns firing. I looked up
and saw formation of enemy high
level bombers. I think there were
nine.
TT occurred to me then that If
they dropped bombs, one would hit
on the port side of the carrier and
get all of us in that area. I looked
up as they released their bombs.

toward me. closed my eyes and
said few prayers.
One hit the fantail where I'd
been standing few minutes before.
The others all hit in the water on
the ships starboard side. The ship

Though we felt the conclusion, it
was not strong enough to cause
casualties.
I'VE had eight or 10 on my raft.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 24-Sev-
enty-five Japanese ve-bombers
and torpedo planes and nine high
level bombers attacked a United
States aircraft carrier repeatedly on
october Is before the ship went
down hours later, her chaplain re-
lated here yesterday. The Navy
hasn't identified the carrier. al
though the sinking in the Solomon
Islands area was announced several
weeks ago.
1t. Comdr. Edward B. Harp, jr.,
of HagerstoWn, Md. told the Asso-
ciated Press that the crew of the
American warship that rescued him
after he had jumped from the car
rler said they had participated in
the rescue of survivors of three
other American carriers sunk in the
Pacific and that none of the other
carriers had received such terrific
pounding.
Chaplain Harp said his carriers
gun crews and planes shot down IS
or 40 OF the attacking planes.
The carrier was about $50 miles
northwest Of Guadalcanal when the
attack came at $40 am. Chaplain
Harp was in the No battle dress
ing station, directly beneath the
flight deck and accessible to all
other dressing stations, which are
set up to care for casualties that
cannot be taken to the main hos
pital quarters.
I'VE had word that the enemy
feet, composed probably of three
aircraft carriers, several cruisers,
transport and destroyers, were head
| ed toward Guadalcanal in a deter
mined effort to retake the base" the
chaplain said.
Spotted Each Other.
1--WE had their position spotted
and apparently they had ours spot
ted also. We launched fighter
planes and few minutes later were
informed that enemy planes were
approaching to attack the ship.
We were all at general quarters.
I'm short time the signals came
over the telephones to stand by for
a dive-bombing attack. In the
dressing station. as elsewhere. every
one was at his post Of duty. There
were II or Is dive bombers In the
first wave"
Some of the dive bombers got
through, he said, and made two or
three hits on the carrier. The first
bomb exploded in the vicinity of the
forward generator room. It put out
all lights and stopped all power and
left us without radio communica-
tons. We used emergency lights and
flashlights in the dressing station.
Quite a number of casualties
were brought to our station, pri-
marily for the reason that practically
all other stations had been knocked
out in the initial attack, with the
result that we had to set up an emer-
gency station on the fantail OF the
ship, where there were no severe
! fires,
One demolition bomb exploded
on the port side aft of the island
structure, causing considerable dam
age and many casualties among the
gun crews. One enemy plane whose
pilot had been shot made a crash
landing-I doubt that it was sui
eide dive-and struck the island
structure and fell over on the night
deck
He had 500-pound bomb

bomber-made q crash dive, COM
ing in on the port side of the
forecastle and landing on the for
ward elevator pit in the hangar
deck. It caused a fire, which was
soon extinguished. The pilot had
released a torpedo or bomb but 1t
missed the ship. It was not a sui
eide dive-the ships gunners had
got him.
Another bomb, exploded in the
fourth deck, causing a number of
casualties. The first attack lasted
about 20 minues, then seven torpedo
planes came in from all directions.
Two of them got hits before all
seven were shot down. The torpe-
does struck on the starboard side,
causing considerable list to star
board. The ship was dead in the
water after the two torpedoes hit.
The engines were stopped by the
explosions. Some fires were burn
ing, but gradually were being
brought under conttol
Jap Planes Withdraw.
About 1910 or 10:15 am. every
thing seemed to be clear again. All
enemy planes had withdrawn. All
the seriously wounded were brought
to the emergency station on the
fantail, where doctors continued
treating patients.
Meanwhile, cruisers and de-
stroyers were standing by. We felt
1t expedient to remove the seriously
wounded"
Chaplain Harp said that although
the carriers list and heavy swells
made the operation difficult, a de-
stroyer came alongside and I'VE
transferred about $50 wounded men
on stretchers and Army cots.
There was absolute calm among
all the ships personnel. No one be-
came frantic. Even the seriously in
jured made no cutlery. None de-
manded immediate attention. Each
was willing to wait his turn. The
medical department did a grand job
in caring for the patients, although
much medical equipment had been
destroyed.
After the transfer it was decided
that we would collect the dead on
the open decks. They were brought

men in the ready room. If it had
exploded, it would have gotten a

Fires started from the first bomb
and from the plane crash, but were
extinguished quickly. Our dam
age control and fire parties did a
marvellous job in extinguishing
them.

Some men swan alongside. We

minutes and were taken aboard. We

Soon after they were taken aboard

enemy planes came over. I'VE were
ordered to take cover. The group

We were SO tired we crawled under
a washing machine and relaxed for
the first time since that morning.

Destroyers Stand BY.
The ship which had taken Chap
lain Harp aboard and another de-
stroyer stood by the carrier, he
said, until she went down at 1890
or II O'Clock that night"
Planes from enemy surface craft
came over the two destroyers, the
chaplain related, land dropped flares
around us. We shot at them but
didn't hit them. The enemy planes
chased us all night. Possibly they
found out we had only two destroy
ers and we lost contact about 4 or S
am. the next day."
Among the things that went down
with the carrier, Chaplain Harp
said, was "a very beautiful organ"
1--WE played the organ at night as
well as at services. The music
soothed tired nerves. 1 had played
it the night before the attack. 1t
had been in the tropics SO long that
moisture had swollen the wooden
pegs and made the keys stick. !
shudder to think what would be re-
quired now to put the organ back
into playing condition again."
