Helena Got Six
Ships Before Sunk

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS South
Pacific, JUL II. CUP) The skipper
of the cruiser Helena, which hac
more fighting in the Pacific thar
any other American warship, sale
today that she sank three japanese
destroyers and damaged three cruis-
ers before going down from tor
pedo hit.
ut was just like ten pins; they
set them up and we knocked 'em
down. Capt. Charles P. Cecil, 40
of Louisville, KY, said, describing
the battle of Kula gulf on the early
morning of July 6.
Binding flashes from the guns of
cruisers 2nd destroyers split r..'c
blackness. Cecil said.
His crew was keyed for its great
est effort.
Il never saw the Helena put out
shells SO fast" he said. The main
batteries seemed to be firing even
faster than the secondaries.
I'VE approached the Kula gulf
from the east at high speed, hoping
to meet the japanese surface forces.
Our task force commander man.
euvered our forces into favorable
position to attack. 1t all happened
In the space of few minutes.
MASTER SWITCH
"All of the initial Salvoes from
the cruiser appeared to have been
fired simultaneously if a master
switch had been pressed. I feel
confident that my ship had the hit
ting range with the first salvo.
I'VE maintained fire for a brief
space of time on the initial target,
believed to be a cruiser, until it
disappeared. Then we switched to
the second target, probably cruis-
er, until it disappeared. Then we
switched to another cruiser and fir
ed several salvoes."
The enemy'S light forces closed
in then, and the secondary batter
les of the American Warships OPEN
up on them.
Our forces knocked them out
one after another as they closed
the range" Cecil said, but at least
one succeeded in launching the
torpedoeS that gave the Helena its
fatal blows"
The night was too dark to see
the torpedo wakes until too late to
escape them.
Cecil did not see the enemy ships

direction OF protecting free speech

Praises A. p. Practices.
He cited "the phenomenal sue
cess of the Associated Press" as ar
example for radio, observing:
"The Associated Press serves news.
papers of every political preference
1t gathers news for papers in every
section of the country and readers
in every walk of life look to it for
the complete and candiA coverage
Of the news.
Surely nobody would argue that
the freedom of the press Is cur
tailed" he continued, because the
Associated Press does not permit
its great corps of reporters to use
this agency of public service as a
device for purveying personal spleen
or for propagandizing and lobbying
for public policies"
'As a believer in private radio
he declared, II am growing steadily
more convinced that either through
voluntary steps or through legisla-
tive channels, arrangements must
be made to discontinue propaganda
activities on the air by speakers
utilizing sponsored advertising time"
Favors Private Operation.
1T is our hope" he continued,
that the radio industry will take
steps to eradicate its own evils, but
if Government must act it is felt
that Congress can prescribe regula-
tions which will make freedom of
speech on the air an equally true
privilege of all and not merely an
opportunity for propagandizing to
the privileged few"
While expressing favor of private
operations, Mr.. Mundt declared that
although few wealthy radio
tycoons" might not take the warn
ing seriously, private ownership
and operation of radio in this coun-
try Is not a guaranteed certainty
for even the next four years-to say
nothing Of the permanent future"
Let these big men of radio scoff
if they want to-" he said. Il happen
to know that the danger that pri-
vately operated radio in this country
may have short life is not some
thing to be blithely overlooked"
Good Reporting Urged.
1t is not necessary, he said, to
destroy the sparkle and spirit and
pungency" of radio reporting, but it
is necessary to remove the mali
cious, the prejudicial the inimical
and the purpose e-serving tactics of
certain broadcasters and to safe
guard the interests of veracity by
insisting that radio reporters fol-
low the precepts Of good reporting. 4"
