The battle of Washington" Is
harder than the battle of the
Pacific, Rear Admiral Thomas l.

We don't have the occasional fun to

Speaking in more serious vein
Admiral Catch described the Jap's
fanatical disregard for human life
During the Guadalcanal battle, he
said, between 10000 and 10000
Japanese in loaded transports lost
their lives when our forces sunk
the ships as the enemy tried to
storm our positions.
The admiral described the night
action as horrible thing" because
you only have a faint idea what
Is going on because the flashes of
the guns going off partially blinds
you"
Twice wounded in the two battles,
Admiral Catch said that during the
battle off the Savo Islands he felt a
