snapped. "In some respects, its
the mcst notable Navy Day in
the course of all history because
the Navy never put up a gamer

How do the Japs manage, de-

FIiers From Wasp
Still in Battle

PEARL HARBOR, Oct. 27.-U.PD
Filters from the aircraft carrier
Wasp are in the thick Of the Solo
mons fighting, avenging the loss
of their ship and their mates, Capt
Forrest P. Sherman, skipper of the
sunken warship, disclosed today in
telling his own story of the trag-
edy.
Sherman, now chief of staff to
Vice admiral John H. Towers, COM
mander of the Pacific air force, said
three torpedoes struck the Wasp
forward without warning.
Fire broke out and the carrier
became an inferno as it spread to
the Wasp's fuel and ammunition
stores. After an hour and 20 min
utes, it became necessary TO aban-
don ship.
He said one of his squadron COM
manders had been responsible for
damaging or destroying several
Japanese ships in recent actions.

The combined aerial offensive was

the clear superiority of the Allied

at least four and a half miles into
Rommel'S maze of barbed wire and
mine fields in two thruStS and that
a third drive might be already under

The communique indicated that
the Allied forces held the upper

The official announcement laid
heaviest emphasis on the air fight

aerial torpedoeS.

The allies had lost 10 planes in

The convoy attacked off the vul-

he was forced by the allies to make

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Dec. IA
A special study Of rumors and hap

Institute for Research in Social
Science at the University OF North
Carolina.
DR.. Howard w .Odom, director OF
the institute, said that because
Of the great Importance of the
study to the South emphasis Of the
study would be placed on changing
race situations
Our inquiries will be directed
primarily" he said. 'for rurnors
and stories in the white South.
These will be supplemented by
other stories among the Negroes.
Prof. Charles Johnson of Fiske Uni
versity is making a similar study
among Negroes"
He said the Institutes prelim-
mary studies would cover the fol-
lowing points:
Examples of rumors of what
ever sort about what they say is
going to happen; stories of what
they have heard has happened,
such as women quitting work for
one purpose or another; actual hap
penings, such as treatment of
Negroes in buses or railway stations
or the relationships between SOL

incidents that are on the positive
side, where whites and Negroes

Roles Of Captive and Coptor Played by U. S.
Ensign in Africa; Strofed by Own Aircraft

Separated from the Coast Guard
transport unloading troops north of
Casablanca, a small detachment of
Navy men led by Ensign Harry A..
Storts, 26, Peoria, ILL.,, spent four
hectic days ashore as captors, then
as captives Of French forces, during
which they were strafed by American
planes, the Navy disclosed over the
week end
Ensign Stort's story follows:
II was in command of tank
lighter. We left the ship according
to schedule, but on the way In we
developed engine trouble. We had
just about got that fixed in good
order when an enemy plane that
looked like q Messerschmitt came
down and strafed Us. We lost one
man and the boat filled with water.
We were able to make an emergency
landing and get the rest of the men
ashore, but we were forced to land
several miles up the beach from the
main landing operation. This meant
that We were isolated in hostile terri
tory.
Planes Came Over.
Shortly after we landed, eight
planes came over after us and we
lost several men. Everybody, in
cluding coast guardsmen and SOL
Evening star., 1942-12-14

diers, dug themselves into shallow
pits and fox holes. This was about
noon, and every half hour during
the rest of the day the planes came
over and strafed us. In the mean
time, we were forced to keep up an
intermittent duel with snipers who
were trying to pick us of from con-
cealed positions inland. We thought
1t would never get dark. but it finally
did. BY this time we had lost an
other man and had three wounded
and We decided TO send for help.
Five men salvaged a rubber raft
and started for destroyer anchored
offshore. -Four others and myself
started to walk to the town of
Fedala. We took enough yations for
one meal and three canteens of
water. We walked all Sunday night
and all day Monday, and after dark
Monday we arrived at an Army
command post. The officer in COM
mand detached a force to relieve our
men on the beach. I went with
them to show them the way.
Early Tuesday morning as we
came around a bend in the road
we surprised group of French SOL
diers eating breakfast. We quickly
made them prisoners and took them
along with us. However, our trip
was in vain. When we reached the
beach we found that the men we
had left there were gone.
Captives of French.
"They themselves had been cap
tured by the French. This informa-
ton was given to us at this point
by one OF our French prisoners.
There seemed to be nothing to
do but return to the Army command
post, but before we left we BOBBY
trapped the equipment we had
originally left on the beach. Then
we started back on the route that
we had already been over twice be-
fore.
THE country was fat, but occa-
sionally we had to detour around
ravines or heavy brush We were
getting along well when suddenly
native soldiers appeared all around
us as If by magic and opened fire.
Their sand-colored clothing had
camouflaged them and they seemed
to emerge from the ground. There
were between $50 and 200 of them
led by French officers. In the first
burst of fire they killed several of
our men and eight of the French
soldiers that we had originally cap
tured. Every other member of our
party was wounded
I'VE were then taken to the first
aid station at Bouznika. On the
way we saw several other ambushes
similar to the one into which we
had fallen. At Bouznika the French
treated our wounds and sent us on

haut and spent Tuesday night there.
The French treated us Is well Is
they could, but there was only
enough food for those seriously
wounded and only two glasses OF
water per man.
"The next morning, Wednesday,
we heard that Casablanca had
fallen. We got hold of a French
priest who could speak English and
demanded that we be released. In a
short time the French allowed us to
leave, although only two of us,
another man and myself, were able
to walk. We were driven to Fedala.
where my ship had docked. and 1
got aboard at noon, exactly four
days after I had left it in the
landing boat"

MANY PEOPLE hesitate to borrow
lNA in wartime. Their hesitation is
justified. This is a time to avoid debts
if you can do so without undue hard
ship, 1t is better for you and for the
war effort to reduce your debts if
you can.
Before you get loan in these times,
be sure that you really need it. Much
borrowing which is reasonable enough
in peacetime now appears exuava-
giant and unwarranted. Don't borrow
to buy something you may be able to
get along without. Don't get a loan
to pay for a trip which you may not
need to take at ALL Don't borrow to
buynew thingsify you can makeyour old
things do for the duration. In short, be-
fore you borrow, ask yourself if a loan
is necessary and will be really helpful.
