Four U. 5. Desiroyers
Pour Heavy Barrage
Into Jap Munda Base
Earlier Story on Page ALL
By j. NORMAN LODGE,

Associated freoe war CORRESPONDENT.
OFF MUNDA POINT, July 10 (De-
layed -Four little Davids Of the
United States Navy today tackled
the japanese Goliath of the Central
Solomons-the vital Munda Air base
by pouring many thousands OF
shells into the enemy positions.
These Davids-destroyers-rocked
Munda point and then steamed
proudly away through Blanche
Channel.
The pre-dawn shelling, accom-
panied by air bombing and fire from
American land guns on nearby Rem.
dova Island, previously WAS reported
in the July 10 communique from
Gen. MacArthur's Southwest Pacific
headquarters.
The destroyers carried out their
mission gallantly, risking the danger
of attack from Japanese planes,
naval craft or shore batteries.
Enemy submarines and torpedo
boats were known to be IN the
vicinity.
I had 4 battle station on tor
pedo control tower, just above the
bridge Of one Of the bombarding
''cAns.'
The first flashes of the belching
gun FIRE nearly blinded US, but be-
fore we had thrown our allotted
quota of shells we were used to
the flame and terrific din.
: Our shore batteries on Rendova
Island, some five miles from Munda,
joined in the bombardment, adding
their thunder to the cacophor1y.
Little Heard From laps.
The Japanese land batteries were
Intellectual, firing only twice. Either
they were silenced by hits or their
crews took hssty cover.
Gunners on our destroyers worked
like Trojans to get their shells out
and, responding to word that Qua
dalcanal was having an Air-rAid
alert, passed Jokes about what a hell
of time they must be having down
there"
Once our bow was lighted by a
fare dropped from above and in
stantly our antiaircraft guns sent
burst after burst skyward. They
sent the Washing Machine Char

there in hasty retreat.
About the same time our COM
mander gave the order to with
draw, as our mission was completed.
Our four little Dav!ds did a l80-
degree turn and, their sterrs dip
ping into the water from the pull
Of the screws, leaped forward like
stung kangaroos.
Not A man was inquired during
the bombardment. Not one of our
"cans" was hit. But the Japanese
had plenty of high explosive frag-
ments to comb out of their close
cropped hair.
Our destroyers were all veterans
of battles in the South Seas. One
had IA tiny Japanese flags painted
on her stack, indicating that many
enemy planes shot down. another
claimed the silencing OF two shore
batteries and downing Of four enemy
bombers: the third had chalked up
five bombers, three torpedo planes
and one divebomber, and the fourth
had credit for four surface craft,
including a light cruiser, and four
planes.
In that kind Of company you can't

G. B. S.: My husband is looking
to go into the army any time. We
need a house awful bad. want to
buy home but he thinks that we
shouldn't try to find something to
rent. We have two children and
will appreciate what you tell US.
Ans: Look for an apartment or
house to rent. Before you can
buy a home you will have to have a
substantial down payment and
you should not consider borrowing
it. Conditions are very uncertain
in your home, especially so if your
husband is going in service, and to
Obligate yourself by buying a home
is not a wise thing to do. When
you two get your heads above
water and some money ahead, you
can then arrange to buy a home.
A. E.: l need your help. Pm in
love with a boy who says he loves
me and / know l love him. Mother
doesn't want me to talk to this boy
because he gets drunk. Tell me
what to do?
Ans: Boys who get drunk are

not fit company for high school
girls. Some Of the young fellows
today have the foolish idea that |
it's smart stuff to drink whiskey |
and get tight but, it's not. When
young people submit to this tempta-
tiOn, they get into all kinds of
trouble. If you value your reputa-
ton and that of your family 4.
you will not associate with any boy
who has a weakness for whiskey.
l. P. NJ: l stay sick and don't
have any life about me. don't
want to lose my husband cause
have good one. He is very frisky
around other women, but still he
does respect me and provides for
me so what kick have l coming?
He always tells me not to eat or
drink at other peoples houses. Why
does he do this?
Ans: Your husband is CAV and
likes a good time but he knows Just
how far he can go and he doesn't
Overstep his bounds. He's worried
about your health and had rather
you did not eat away from home.
See your doctor Immediately for a
checkup so that you too can kick
up a dust with him.
A. R.: have fallen in love with
a man about 20 and lately learned
that he was a married man and
naturally l quit him but didn't
want to because he is the first and
only man I've ever loved (hand-
some of course) and it is very hard
for me to forget him. Ny whole
heart and mind stays on him night
and day. What must 1 do?
Ans: You've done all you can do
when you quit him. know it hurts
and your heart aches but think how
much worse it could have been.
Consider yourself lucky to have
found this fellow out for what he
really is twO-timing cheat.
The kind of love you have for each
other wouldn't last over the years
and it's better that you chalk this
little affair up to experience.
E. D. L.: l was in love with him
before he was indicted into the
army. When he got his furIough
home l was the second one he came
to (his mother first). He seemed to
care for me but he hasn't wrote me
since he left. He's been gone long
enough to write. I have always
been very respectful toward him
and never have gone out of the
way as to be unfit. Pm sure of
that. Pm plenty decent.
Ans: Of course you are and he
knows it and appreciates it too.
But, a soldiers life is a busy one
sometimes -. on the go from early
dawn to long after shutdown. So
be lenient with him, write him a
sweet letter of love and good cheer.
If you want to keep his respect
,. avoid picking a fuss with him
about his not writing.

AS far as president Bob Quinn

policy that now appears unncc-
cssary. Before the current sea-
son opened, and long before
Quinn, or anybody else in base
ball, figured that the Braves
had so much pitching strength,
Gomez, then free agent at the
comparatively tender age Of 80,
appeared to be of great value as
salvage, despite the fact that
nothing could be expected from
him until the hot mid-season
weather arrived.
Regardless of Gomez skill as
morale builder, Quinn, due to
Major League baseball law, must
cut his roster to Is players by
midnight tonight. Since all of
the other hurlers on the club
have proved themselves in COM
petition, Gomez, who worked
only few innings for the
Braves in Spring training cx-
hibition game, was the logical
one to be cut from the pitching
squad His removal reduced the
Braves list to 26 and the club
will get down to the limit to-
night, most likely, by riding it.

BOSTON, May 20 - tT) -
Speaking on the National
Leagues record, Lefty Vernon
Gomez, who helped pitch the
New York Yankees TO seven
pcnnants while winning 1879
games for that glamorous club
in IS seasons, has been given an
other unconditional release by
those surprising Boston Braves
without a regulation test.
But speaking off that record,
as several of his Braves admirers
have done, Gomez, without a
single pitch in single league
game, has done much TO inspire
that consistent Scvcnth-place
club into a terrific drive that has
moved it TO within a game of the
first-place BROOKLYN Dodgers,
according to todays National
League ratings.
Although Gomez, except for
those he encountered in World
Series competition. knows but
little about the Nat iOnal
Leagues players, most of his
Braves teammates agree that
his baseball superiority COM
plexes, ingrained during his
many years with the success
full Yankees, has, by mere con-
tact. helped them rid them
selves of their defeatist re-
prcssiOns.
If Gomez never works a
game for us, he will more than
earn his salary, ono of the
Braves outstanding players said
recently. "Hc still acts like a
Yankee, f he considers all Ma
tional LeagucrS as Sccond-raters
and when he tells us We can
