and they are eaten raw, more as an
appetizer.
The radish is variable IN form,
size, shape and color, as we'll rs in

varieties for spring, summer and
winter. They may be lf-long, very
long and round as a cherry.
In China, 1t is claimed that the
radish has been grown for over 300
years. In japanese gardens, the
same form is cultivated. 1t is be-
lieved that the radishes grown in
Europe are from another form
Americans are not so fond of this
vegetable as are Europeans. In East
ern Asia, there are forms not known
In America. There is a radish that

Those who are really fond of the
radish insist on the small ones, as
they are crisp, tender and sweet.
The older ones are pithy, tough and

tender leaves may be used as salad

taken place permitted to mature.

Admiral Merrill Is Revealed
As BougoinviIIe Battle Victor
D. 6. Officer Awarded
Navy Cross for
Leading Fleet
BY GEORGE KENNEDY.

Rear Admiral Aaron Stanton Mer-
rill, WaShingtonian weu-known to
rod and gun enthusiasts, and one
of the best golfers of the Chevy
Chase Club, was the American COM
mander of the task force that sank
five japanese warships in the naval
victory of Empress Augusta Bay.
This was the decisive night battle of
November l and 2 in which the
accuracy of American fire sank
japanese cruiser and four destroyers
and made possible the landing of
United States marines on Bougain-
vile.
The name of the commander of
the task force was withheldSi in re-
ports of the battle. It was revealed
In the presentation Of the Navy Cross
to Admiral Merrill last Saturday on
board his flagship, a cruiser, in the
South Pacific. The award was re-
ported in delayed dispatch by the
Associated Press.
The story of the battle as told by
the then anonymous commander the
day afterward was: Reconnaissance
showed - enemy ships approaching
-. We opened fire about 2:40 am.
They returned the fire almost i'm
mediately. They sent up planes
which dropped flares to silhouette
us -. You understand that in these
night actions everything is vague as
can be, and from cruisers fighting
at long range it is impossible to tell
exactly what is going on :. We ex-
changed fire without break for an
hour and 10 minutes until the enemy
started to withdraw Then we
pursued the enemy ships an hour
longer until after am. while they
were retreating into the Solomon
Sea-" Later reconnaissance estab-
hshed that five ships had been sunk.
Won Legion Of Merit.
Admiral Merrill was given the
Legion of Merit for the action of
March 5 and in which his task
force sheled Munda and Villa in
stallations in the Solomons and
sank two Japanese destroyers which
attempted to intercept.
After this battle Admiral Merrill
signaled Admiral William F. Hal
sey, "Bagged two destroyers. What's
my limit?" Admiral Halsey sig
nailed back, mo limit. It's open sea-
son on the bastards"
