Helena was hit, but repairs were
made promptly.
She escorted the aircraft carrier
Hornet. She was with the WASP
when that carrier was torpedoed

vivors were picked up by the Helena,
her men turned over all their cloth

pair Of dungarees each.
Nine Jap Ships Sunk.
The Helena's first big engagement
came shortly thereafter, in the night
Battle OF Cape Esperance, where
four Japanese destroyers, four cruis-
ers and transport were sent down.
Just SO seconds after the battle
was joined, the Helena's guns had
fired and sunk Japanese destroyer.
Then her big guns swung on a cruis-
er. -Four and half minutes 1ater,
the cruiser went down.
A Japanese cruiser and another
United States cruiser were swapping
punches. The Helena moved in.

The United States lost one-the
Helena.
When the action began, the
Helenas main battery Immediately
sank an enemy ship. The secondary
downed two destroyers in one-two
order.
Both batteries then shifted to new
targets and had badly damaged two
more ships when enemy destroyers
closed in. Their torpedos crashed
into the Helena, and she went down
20 minutes later.
Her men swan through the oil
covered water, floated on RATS. BY
the following morning all but 166
of her survivors had been picked up.
Those still in the water made
their way to Vella Lavella. There.

in camp hidden under giant Ban
yam trees.
japanese troops were on the Is
land, and once patrol approached
close to the Helenas survivors.
But natives disposed of the patrol.

Governors Confer
On Tobacco Holiday
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 23.-Govs.
Broughton of North Carolina
and Darden of Virginia conferred
by telephone today on a recon-
mendation by tobacconists meeting
here that the two State chiefs call
tobacco marketing holiday in an
effort to halt further price declines.
The tobacconists were called to-
gether by Gov. Broughton after
prices on lower grades of tobacco
dropped from as much as 35 cents
a pound to as low as eight cents a
pound
They passed a resolution suggest
ing that holiday be called begin
ming Wednesday or Thursday, for
at least two days and to continue
as long as the Governors deem nee
eSsary.
The tobacconists also asked that
Representative Cooley. Democrat,
who was present, confer with other
North Carolina members of Con-
gress and the Commodity Credit
Corporation in an effort to halt fur
ther price declines. They were asked
to request the CCC to restore for
mer buyer allotments and to 're-
store tobacco prices to their former
levels"
At Wilson, N. NJ Schaum. chair
man of the United States Tobacco
Associations Sales Committee, said
that no action would be necessary
by his group If the two Governors
called the holiday.
The tobacconists acted after sug-
gestions were made that "the Gov
ernment let us alone" and that the
holiday be called to determine
whether any "manipulations have
been going on"

down. But the secondary hammered
a destroyer into the sea.
Six enemy ships sought to flee.
The Helena chased them. One was
a big cruiser which, it was learned
later, had hurled the shells that tore
the bridge from the San Francisco,
killing Rear Admiral Daniel J. CAL
laghan, task force commander and
former naval aide to President
Roosevelt.
The enemy cruiser was sunk. The
Helena's secondary battery got an
other destroyer. Lighter guns poured
shells into the bridge of another
japanese ship.
Still another enemy ship. lined
up In the fleeing force, was set afire.
The secondary battery got another
destroyer.
Helena Lost at Kula Gulf.
The japanese feet scattered in
confusion.
Came the battle of Kula Gulf on
July 5-6, when the Japanese lost
nine to II cruisers and destroyers
Evening star., 1943-10-24

and the Japanese cruiser quickly
went down.
An enemy destroyer sneaked in to
fire a torpedo, but the Helena
lodged, The destroyer tried to flee
to late. 1t already had been fired
on by another American ship. The
Helena's guns finished the job.
The Helena's biggest day came
later.
japanese shore batteries had
opened fire on American transports
unloading troops at Guadalcanal,
and the Helena was ordered to sill
ence them. She did. Then the
Japanese sent in bomber and fighter
planes. Nine enemy bombers were
shot down by American fire, four of
them officially credited to the
Helena's anti-aircraft batteries.
Japs Turned Back.
That night came the battle of
Guadalcanal, a desperate effort by
the japanese to regain control of the
Solomons. They failed, turned back
crushed and beaten.
The Helena was the first to sight
the enemy of Savo Island She held
her fire until she had steamed into
the enemy fleet. Then a japanese
|searchlight found the Helena.
Her main battery, first to fire in
the battle, struck with a full salvo
on the enemy cruiser from which the
searchlight beamed. The enemy
burst into flames lighting the battle
area while American destroyers
rushed in to loose their torpedos.
Fire was maintained on the japanese
cruiser. She went down.

When she's flying for the Army,
a girl can't do as she pleases in the
air. There are prescribed methods
to be followed. If you're flying with
Others, you learn to fly in specified
formations. All of that takes time
to learn. And it's a hard grind"
IF it proves to be too hard, may
a girl resign?"
Mrs. Love smiled. "Yes," she
said, but so far we've had just one
resignation. 1t came from the moth
er of four children - when she
learned her children were sick. She
had no choice but to 60 to them"
Graduation
WHAT happens" I asked, when
the four weeks training course is
finished? Do you have formal gradu-
alton ceremonies?"
There's only one ceremony. The
girl goes into Wilmington and orders
her uniform, Up to that time she's
been kicking around in coveralls.
The uniform is the symbol of her
right to wear wings"
l asked if l could see the girls
living quarters. Experience at vari-
Gus Army bases made me expect
that Mrs. Love would send someone
else to show me the building. In
stead she rose cheerfully, drew on a
slicker and took me across the mud
dy field herself.

there's never enough time to do

We walked through mud and rain
again to one Of the hangers. The
women's Alert Room is located here

are assigned. A peg-board on the wall
showed where every girl of the
WAFS was at that particular mo-
ment. Ten were at the New Castle
Base, either studying or awaiting
assignments. Fifteen were scattered
over the country. Studying the pegs,
l asked, What is the significance OF
their various colors? Does green
peg mean one thing, red another"
"Oh, no." said Mrs. Love. 1--WE
just use whatever golf tees we can
find" ..
Well, I'm back in New York. It's
raining outside. l can hear a plane
overhead, but when l look up from
the window l can't see it. It's lost
in the clouds.
It's quite possible that somewhere

She's flying up there, mile above

the WAFS numbered only Is women.
That's because our rigid require
ments limit the number available to
u.s. Mrs. Love said. There are
probably no more than hundred
women in the country who have all
the necessary qualifications"
For one thing, woman must hold
a commercial pilots license. with a
minimum of 500 hours certified fly
ing time and 2OO-h.p. rating. She
must have cross-country experience.
She must, moreover, be between the
ages of 81 and IS; and she must be
an American citizen with at least
high-school education. One can see
why there aren't many women who
can fill the bill.
Of course. girls are being schooled
so that they may soon have the
equivalent of these requirements.
The Women's Flying Training De-
tachment. operating in Texas under
the dictatorship of Jacqueline Coch-
rane. is preparing more and more
girls for service in the WAFS. Ulti-
mately it will be large organiza-
ton. But for the present it is func-
tioning with these hardy Is pioneers.

Each member of the WAFS has
