Sailors Here Told of Toxic Raid tn January
Tregaskis
Called Ace
Reporter

NEW YORK. April q CINS)-
Richard Tregaskis, International
News Service correspondent in the
Southwest Pacific and author of
the best-s ling "Guadalcanal
Diary" today was named winner
of the annual George R. Holmes
memorial trophy contest for 1912.
Announcement OF the selection
of Tregaskis' war dispatches as
the outstanding example of an
ms. reporters work during the
year was made by Joseph V. Con-
molly. president of international
News Service, 10 a group of sew
cral hundred editors and publish
ers from all over the country
gathered here for the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
convention.
A close second in the contest
was the team" of William X.
Hutchinson, manager of the Wash
ington Bureau of ms. and one
of his assistants, Jack Vincent.
VI lIltli dIlldLIilH @J-llOuI DGdl
on the sentencing and execution
of six Nazi saboteurs in Wash
ineton.
The majority of the judges de-
cided in favor of Tregaskis on the
grounds that his dispatches from
Guadalcanal were written and
filed under circumstances of great
peril. One of the Judges credited
him with outstanding reportorial
achievement of a continuing char
acter on dangerous and difficult
assignments.
The hazards of war reporting
also figured in the tributes paid
by the judges TO a dispatch from
Jack Singer describing a flight he
made in a u. s. Navy torpedo
plane which attacked a Japanese
aircraft carrier. Singer was killed
a few weeks later when the u. S.
Aircraft Carrier Wasp was tor
pedoed in The Pacific.

Australia Grows

UNITED NATIONS HEAD
QUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA,
April n QNS)-Another heavy
raid on the important japanese
base at Wewak, on the north shore
of New Guinea, was disclosed to-
day as a spokesman for Gen. Mac
Arthur repeated recent warnings
against over-optimism concerning
the Allies position in the South
Pacific.
THE question has been
raised" he said. las 10 why, in
view of our forces splendid sue
cesses in the past year, the stu
alton has now become more
menacing on the Australian
front.
THE answer Is simple. The
enemy has been bringing for
ward heavy reinforcements of
both air and ground components
with great rapidity.
ut Is our hope that our force
will grow to match his"
Just before dawn yesterday
Allied heavy bombers attacked the
harbor and enemy airdromes al
Wewak Flying in at mast height
our bombers destroyed a 6,O00-ton
cargo ship and damaged a smaller
vessel.
The larger vessel, apparently
loaded with fuel, exploded after
three direct hits and six near
misses were scored on it with 500
pound bombs. The smaller boat
probably was a harbor tender.
In the same raid, airdromes at
Wewak and nearby Boram were
bombed and fires started IN dis
persal areas.

$4,000 Pounds Of
Bombs on Kiskd

WASHINGTON. April 21 (INS)
"A series of damaging attacks by
bomb-carrying fighter planes on
the Japanese airfield and sub
marine base at Kiska was an
nounced late yesterday by the
navy department.
Abandoning their usual role Of
escorting the big Liberators and
Mitchells, formations of Lockheed
LightningS and Curtiss Warhawks
poured $4,000 pounds of bombs
into the KiSka installations during
nine separate raids last Sunday
A navy communique said that
the attacks started fires in the
submarine base area at kiska
Harbor, and that bomb hits also
were scored in the main camp
area. i'm the camp at the north end
of the harbor, and at Salmon
Lagoon. site Of the enemy aircraft
runway.
Development of American flying
fields i'm the Andreanof Islands,
only about 200 miles east of Kiska,
has made possible the employment
of fighter planes as bombers for
the short runs 10 and from the
japanese positions.
As L.. s. Army flyers in the
Aleutians piled up "A total OF 30
attacks on Kiska since April !,
japanese bombers in the Solomon
Islands made another night attack
on Henderson Airfeld at Guadal-
canal. and American planes raided
Japan's Munda base in tho central
SolomonS for the 10Sth time.

statement was issued after the
raid.
ITO have named the fliers and
disclosed that they were still
missing would have intensified
the efforts OF the Japanese IN
capture them" II said. Also,
consideration had 10 be given 10
the possibility of reprisals on
friendly Chinese who helped the
Americans in Japancse-Occupied

All of this information I found

The Hornet had come almost
10000 miles 10 this historic rendez-

Still most Of US didn't know
where we were going or what we
planned 20 do.
The first hint came one morning
when our destroyer was delivering
