WE CAN do 1T AGAIN
Naval Task Forces Poised for Grim Role

BY s. J. WOOLF
NEA Staff Correspondent

LONDON-When the invas-
ion starts, standing on the bridge
of a warship and commanding
the landing operations Of Ameri-
can troops will be Admiral Alan
G.. Kirk. He is the head of the
Task Forces which will man
the bargcs and provide the naval
protection for our sea-borne ar
my.
Anyone who has seen the Ad-
miral aboard his ship knows
precisely how he will act. His
shoulders thrown back, his sim
ewy hands thrust into his poe
his steclY blue eyes mar
rowed into Sits, his determined
mouth drawn down at the cor
ners and the wrinkles in his
weather beaten face etched
deeper, he will snap his orders
with salty vocabulary. He will
not spurn explosives of profan-
ity. Enemy fire will not bother
him. He will get his job done.
But it was a different man
whom | sketched is a hotel room
here In appearance, he still re-
manned the old ea-dog But the
eyes which can be so hard took
on twinkle, and the stern face
often lighted up with smile.
USES HIS LAND LEGS
In many ways, Admiral Kirk
is an exception to the salty pat
tern. In the first place, he does
Mt play poker. Moreover, al
thought the sea holds lure for
him, it doesn't blind him to the
beauty of the English country
side. When he gets the chance
be takes walkiny trips.
In addition to Army and
Navy men, he numbers among
his close friends such opposites
as Justice Frankfurter and Lady
Aston. Now, while busy per-
fecting naval plans, he finds
time to delve into Macauley's
History Of England All his life
he has devoted much of his
leisure 10 reading.
Despite his diverse tastes, he
made it clear that the sea is his

first love. He said he does not
remember the time when he had
not made up his mind TO become
a sailor He was born in Phila-
delphia Sc years ago, and many
Of his forebears on his mother s
side were seafaring men. At
II, he entered the Naval Acad-
envy from New jersey. and he
has spent % out the 80 years
since his graduation aboard a
ship.
He puts tremendous store up
on the psychological influence Of
commander over his men.
1T is necessary, he said that
an officer be sure Of himself. He
must feel certain that he will
succeed in what he sets out to
accomplish, and he must be
able TO impart that confidence
to the men under him. This is
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1944-04-27

what makes a successful leader
When anyone gains the reputa-
ton for winning battles he be-
gins his new operations with a
head start.
What we as Americans did
in Africa and Sicily will make
what we are going 10 do some
what easier. Men who led our
boys to victory there are on the
job again.
This does not mean that the
invasion is going to be walk
over or that We are not prepar-
cd 10 meet stiff opposition. But
in addition to What We learned
in our landings on the Medit-
erranean we also are taking
with us in our landing barges
the knowledge that we did it
once. And what we have done
once, we can do again"

AS Corcoran Cadets
Recall CoIorfuI Past
Al 61st Anniversary

Brought together by common pos
session OF something colorful of the
lpast, As members of the Corcoran
Cadets met last night in the organ
ization's 61st anniversary at the
knights of Columbus Hall.
A sergeant's dress uniform, with
white doeskin facing. brass buttons,
cloth of gold chevrons, epaulets and
formal tails was the only relic of
the days when crowds along the
Avenue awaiting inaugural process
sions cried, Here come the Cor
lcorans."
They marched in Cleveland's
first inaugural, 1884, and every one
after, including Wilson's first in
augural-1913. When the National
Guard was put on a war footing
and sent to the border the Cor
corans lost their identity and were
disbanded. No members have been
taken in for more than 80 years
and the old members feel they be-
longed to something exclusive.
George Howe, 76, one Of the orig
inal 1883 cadets, was there. After
nine years of retirement from the
District Department of Weights and
Measures he is back at work to
help relieve the manpower shortage.
He was living at Long Beach, Calf,
with his wife. One night shortly
after the attack on Pearl Harbor,
he went out in time to see plane
caught in the searchlight beams.
Whether or not it was a Jap plane
was never settled. but four persons
were killed by falling shrapnel and
the Howes started back for Wash
ington. He is now wrapping bum
dies in the Woodward g. Lothrop
warehouse.
Harry T. Sheehy, SIS, who as kid
Sullivan" fought Battling Nelson
early this century, was present.
At 1870 pm. the party went on
the radio over VOL and William
Carter recalled the District National
Guards role in the Spanish -Ameri-
can War when they were marched
to Soldiers Home. then marched
back and discharged. Some who
were not satisfied with that war ex-
perience volunteered and got to
Cuba. One of them, Maj. Charles
A. Meyer, was present.
The Corcorans stood in silent
prayer for a moment for six mem
bers who died in the last year. They
were Col. Laurence Hazard, Thomas
Chick, Occy Walter, Jesse Thorn
ton, Charles Boss and Louis Lowe.
On Sunday at 1915 pm. they will
go to st. Mary's Cemetery where
their chaplain, Vice Comdr. Will
liam H. Grovermann, will conduct
a memorial service for the Corco-
rams organizer and leader Mai.
Eugene c. Edwards. The Corco-
rams were named for William w.

Several U s
 Worships Hit

Pearl Harbor, Nov. 2 = (UP.) = Several ships of the U. s. Third and Seventh Fleets were listed as dam aged today from action in the battle of the Philippines last week.
 Admiral Chester ". NiInttz said, however, that neither the names of the ships nor the amount of damage would be announced at present.
 Such information. would be of value to the enemy in estimating accurately the size of our naval force operating in the Philippines waters and what ships are available for immediate action," he explain ed.
 A previous announcement dis closed that the Third and Seventh Fleets lost in the Philippines battle tn elight Carrier Princeton, two es- cort carriers, two destroyers, one destroyer escort and a number of slnal craft.
 These losses were small, however, when compared with those of the Japanese who lost GO to 62 warships sunk or damaged.
 Nimitzs' air forces meantime car- ried out new attacks on widespread Japanese bases, hitting Paramu- shiro in the Kuriles Monday; Yap Island, in the western Carolines, and Two Jima in the Colvanos Sunday.

Will the destruction of Japan's war machine, and the liquidation of the so-called militarist clique in Japan, guarantee Is lasting peace in the Pacific?
 No leader of any of the United Nations has dared to predict that 1t will, and the reason is quite simple. Our statesmen realize that the war lords of Japan are not alone to blame for Japan's atro- cious record of plunder, slaughter, rape and cruelty.
 Our leaders know the responsi- bility must fall also upon the overwhelming majority of the Jap anese people themselves, and that we shall still have tens of millions of these people living in the same world with us after the war
 In rcent years Japan has delib- erately slaughtered 12,000, 900 hu- man beings. and starved fully as many additional millions. She has conquered and plundered 10 coun- tries in which she has enslaved al- most 500. 900, 600 human beings. She has distributed narcotics among these enslaved people on whole sale basis, and she is guilty of an estimated 100000 cases of rape. Tens of thousands of other authen- ticated examples of savage atroci- ties are part of the same record. .. WON'T ADMIT WRONG
 Anyone who considers the i'm
