Filan Back Mourning
Pictures He Lost as
Landing Boat Sank
BY JAMES LINDSAY,
Associated Press Staff Writer,


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.-Frank
Filan came back from the Pacific
wars today, saying little about the
pictures he got but complaining
loudly about the ones he lost
through destruction of his cameras
in the landing at Tarawa.
Mr.. Filan, the Associated Press
photographer whose pictures of the
Tarawa landing made for the war
time picture pool have been termed
among the best of the war, said he
returned primarily to get some new
equipment.
The first two days I spent on
TaraWa were the worst of my life"
declared the short, slightly built war
correspondent. There I was, with
war going on all around my ears
and not q thing to take a picture
with"
The third day Mr.. Filan borrowed
camera from Coast Guard pho
tographer and with it took his un-
forgettable Tarawa pictures.
The worst of it was that I got
some wonderful shots on the way
IN to the beach from the landing
boat. There was one in particular
1 remember of big, mean looking
marine major. standing in the prov
OF the boat with Jap bullets whiz-
zing all around him, yelling def
ance and urging the crew on so he
could get on the beach and get in
some licks himself"
The craft eventually sank, and
that's when Mr.. Fi1an lost his equip
ment. He took to the water, hold
ing the cameras above his head,
and headed for the beach. But he
stepped in a hole and went under,
the salt water and sand running his
cameras and exposed film.
Mr.. Filan, after nearly eight
months Of Pacific service, says he
must be lust plain lucky" because,
with marines falling all around him
in what has been termed the tough
est engagement the corps ever
engaged In, he escaped unScathed
except for some painful cuts on
his arm when he scrapped them on
a coral reef.
He expects to spend a couple of
weeks with his wife, Katie. and
their 3-year-old daughter, Sheila,

Senate Action Urqed
To Promote Study
Of u. 5. History
Guffey Calls Neglect
Of Subject in Some
Schools Shocking
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate was asked yesterday to
write an educational prescription
for some history deficient students
who can't tell the difference between
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln.
Expressing shock at the results of
an investigation which he said dis
closed IAN appalling neglect of
United States history in public sec
ondary schools" Senator Guffey,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania submitted
a resolution calling for an inquiry to
promote more thorough study Of
the subject.
Reading newspaper showing re-
suits of test given college fresh
men throughout the Nation, Senator
La Toilette, Progressive, of Wiscon-
sin told the Senate that many were
unable to identify Lincoln, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson and
Thomas Jefferson.
This is an Indictment" he as
serted, "of the failure of our educa-
tional system to drive the subject of
history home"
While Senator La Toilette termed
the students ignorance of history
remarkable" Senator Guffey's S
measure proclaimed that the future
welfare of the Nation is dependent
upon what children learn and that
"the present astonishing neglect
could not have existed without ap-
proval of educational forces con-
cerned with the direction of our
schools
1T is well-known fact" he added,
that State legislators have been
interested in deleting chapters and
statements from history books at the
instance of certain powerful groups
which are unwilling to have the
public know the truth
Senator Guffey also said "enthu-
siasts of the so-called social science
studies" have contributed to igno.
rance by convincing many educators
that these subjects should be taught
in place of history.
AS an example, he cited a book on
civic and social studies which he
declared was widely used In Pitts
burgh.
Il was amazed to find" he said.
"the account of famous society

What this had to do with training

The Associated Press further
stated that because the procedure
represented such violation of its
elements of accurate newsphoto re-

mentals always have applied as in

photographer under suspension and
asked the War Department to ter

correspondent.
