At 6:15 in the rainy morning Of
August 8, they took off with Dave
ShumWay's Bombing 3 with orders to
eXcavate the Japs from a hill on
Tanambogu Island. Tanambogu was
the toughest nut the marines found
to crack during the occupation. The
tiny island was almost filled by a
single hill and the hill was almost
filled with Japs holed up in i'm
penetrable coral caves.
The Japs in those caves taught
the Western world something we
had not known before-that the Jap,
man by man, is the toughest, least
domitable fighter in the world He
does not give up but fights until
killed. When an explosion kills
everybody around him and wounds
and dazes him he fights wounded
and dazed until killed. He does not
let his dead discourage him. He
makes wall of them to protect
him and he holds on to his mind,
whatever the shocks against it, and
bends it relentlessly to the single

cannot hold on to his mind any
longer the nerves in it have been
shot out from under it. even he
does not surrender, he kills himself.
Learn Terrible Truth.
Our men learned the terrible
truth bloodily in the caves in the
hill on Tanambogu. They had to
go into every cave separately and
fight it out separately with each
Jap and kill each Jap there sepa-
rately. They threw dynamite in
and, where the cave, was too deep
for the dynamite to reach all the
way through it, they ran into the
smoke of the explosion with tommy
guns and bayonets and finished up
that way.
SWede and Dave ShumWay flew
their fellows low over Tanambogu.
They saw fires burning and lots of
landing boats, some of them
wrecked. A Kawanishi 4-engined

CHAPTER 9.
At Takataka Bay, Squadron 8's
flyers found sloppy, hasty clear
ing and nobody waving at them,
SO they went down and worked it
over, doing it in style and at their
leisure, plowing it up and blowing
it up and digging holes for it to
fall down into.
Then they started heading back
for the carrier. There was, sud-
denly, whole blurt of blubbery
Jap voices in their ears. and one
high-pitched. squealing scream of a
pilot hit and falling and sounding
his pain into his radio and an
American voice saying. There's
blue-plate special coming up on
your port quarter; get it," and an
American voice replying with nerv-
Gus elatlon, 'RaaaWther,"
Torpedo 8 kept their eyes peeled
for the Japs who seemed at that
time to be all around them. But
they couldn't see any and saw only
people along the shoreline-a white
shoreline jumbled up with jungle.
The people were waving at them in
the way that people wave at his
tory going by, as if it were a cir
Gus parade. There We're few
whites, missionaries and those
strange, generally surly and neurotic
people known as South Sea traders.
but most were black and had red
frlzzled hair and cleaning bone
needles stuck through their noses.
Then Guadalcanal came into view.
1t was smoking. The marines and
the Navy down there sure looked
as if they We're cooking with gas.
Long lines Of landing boats were
threading across the water to Tulagi
on the north ard Guadalcanal on
the south. They looked from the
air like ants marching They had
the same purposeful, ceaseless re-
lentleSSneSs. AT the time, as Tor
pedo 8 found out later. under the
smoke over Tulagi a Jap was max
ing a bid to kill with his native
Weapon-jujitsu. 1t was to be the
first and last time. as far as any
intelligence officer on Guadalcanal
could discover, that the Japs were
to try their nuch-vaunted much
dreaded jujitSu in hard-to-hand
combat with our men on Guadal-
canal. This Jap-a burly one, the
picture shows-picked out a marine
STRIPPING. an 18-year-old boy with
the skinny bones and pale face of a
city boy. He got the boy down and
got the boy rolling, but the boy
made the Jap roll with him. They
rolled together down a 25-foot in
cline.

The nthe boy stood up. He was

up among bomb craters and SOM
berly smoking buildings. Marines
were waving at them, these, of
course, being marines who were not
in a line of fire.
Then Group Comdr Thorne, whose
Office was a dive bomber perched
high in the air between Guadal-
canal and Tulagi, tol dthe pilots to
wait a while and. in the meantime,
to do submarine patrol There
were too many marines embroiled on
the hill and camped in cave mouths
to make bombing of the hill any
thing but dangerous.
So, for 2 hours. while marines
killed Japs and got killed and pulled
themselves slowly away from the
target area, Torpedo 8 said "Ho
hum, what a life!" Zone actually
said it, the rest thought it, and
went growing through rain squalls
up and down the coast line, looking
for enemy subs. The enemy subs
were there, but they wouldn't come
to the surface when airplaness were
around, and that was the general
idea of the patrol, to keep the subs
down and harmless.
Evening star., 1943-04-20

At $50 Thorne whistled the boys
back to work. On the first pass,
Thorne said, Bring 'em up a little.
You're falling short" "Okay," said
Swede, watch this one" and went
tearing for cave mouth. But
Andy Divine was just ahead of
Swede and, as Swede points out, de-
spite the official record on the pro-
ceedings, it was Andy's bomb that
dorpped into that open mouth.
That's fine work, boys" said
Thorne, you're really digging now
In few minutes the whole hill
looked shaken up, as If big steam
shovel had picked it up and put it
down. The hill was still there. but
it didn't look natural anymore. 1t
looked as If it had been put together
loosely. However, bombs are not
very good against dug-in person.
nei that doesn't mind the noise they
make and the shaking-up they
produce and the Marines still had
plenty of work to do when Torpedo
8, out of bombs, headed back for
the carrier.

The sandwiches were still there
and still, as Torpedo 8 recalls, bad.
So they went to bed bubbling from
them, too, from emotions and sand
wiches, and slept like separate logs.

Feeling that the government poll

tendency to destroy free enterprise

nor of the Health and Accident Tn
derwriters Conference, told XII

lions engaged in nationwide re-
search on post war problems. This
is the greatest number that has
ever been in existence, he assert
ed. Free enterprise allows indivi-
dual development he said. At the
present time the question is, will
government become the master or
the servant?
'At the end OF the present war
one fifth OF the manufacturing will
be owned by the government. Free
enterprise must be restored or state
socialism will be the result. At
the present time we are collecting
two billion dollars annually for
social security. The Wagner Doug
ell bill will call for ten billion. The
present scheme is social security
from the cradle TO the grave. The
benefits should not be set up on
wartime prosperity because this
cannot endure, he said
1t will cost IS billion dollars
