dio).-Two American destroyers
and a small destroyer escort, in
a virtual suicide stand, one of
the most heroic actions of the
war, straddled the path of the
main Japanese battle fleet off
the east coast Of Samar to cover
the retreat of vulnerable escort
carriers the morning of Octo-
Der Is.
The odds against the trio were
overwhelming. Four japanese bat
tleships, cruisers and 13 destroyers
were enveloping the carriers.
Joseph I. Russell, Miami, Fla,
aviation chief machinist's mate,
standing on the fight deck of car
rier in the center of the attack, saw
the destroyer escort lay smoke
screen and then dart back into it
to deliver a close-range torpedo
blow.
The two destroyers then fol-
lowed up.
Their torpedoes struck a Jap
battleship," Russell said II saw it
much later, dead in the water. That
was one of the greatest perform

MEDICAL CORPS SEEKS
WOMEN

The Medical Corps now has 10
women doctors on duty as COM
missioned officers. four of whom
hold the rank of Lieutenant-COm
mander. Many more women physi-
clans are needed by the Medical
Corps and they will receive the
same rank as men of comparable
professional standing. The doctors
are classified as WOmen's Re-
serve members of the Medical
Corps and are assigned to duty
anywhere within the continental
limits of the United States. on rec
ommendation of the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery. Their pro-
fessional classification is indicated
by the oak leaf insignia of the Med
ical Corps on the sleeve of their
uniform.
With a continuing supply of
trained Navy women throughout
the coming year. it is hoped that
many more shore establishments
will be able to depend on the Wo-

Extension Conference
Studies Farm Labor

essential to the war effort before
the worker can be considered for
deferment. And a fourth require
ment is that every effort must be
made to replace him before he
can be deferred. This new system
replaces the farm unit system of
deferment which was stopped about
two weeks ago.
Colonel Foreman stated that
these steps were necessary in or
der to get the armed forces the
number of men necessary to pros
ecute the war, and that at the pres
ent time we are better equipped
with food and munitions than with
me. AT present these rulings will
be applied in the reclassitication of
men between the ages of is and 26.
1t is expected that they will soon
apply to other age groups.
The emergency extension con-
ference was called chiefly to con-
slider labor problems on farms for
1914, and the solutions which the
extension service is finding for
them. On farm labor, the Exten-
sion Service has the responsibility
of determining the needs for farm
labor, the mobilization OF all intra-
state workers, and the placement
of all farm labOrers in the state.
Another chief consideration in
the conference was a study of job
method training and labor simpli-
ficatiOn in order that each individ-
ual could do more work with the
same use of time and labor.
