Quick Thinking By Kreole Boy Aids
In Dispaiching 7 Heavily Armed Japs

To come face TO face with seven
Japs loaded with hand grenades,
rifles, and gasoline soaked rags,
was the experience of Walter
Lee Johnson as told in a delayed
letter received this week by his
mother, Mrs. Ethel johnson of
Kreole. Because he and his
companions beat the Japs in the
draw and killed them before they
could get into action is the only
reason why Johnson lived to
write home about it.
According to the letter it hap
pened early in the morning of
August 81, when johnson and
"a fellow named Bennett" were
on patrol duty guarding an am
munition dump.
"As we were going along a
path behind the ammunition
dump" writes johnson, I'VE ran
right into seven Japs. We open
ed fire right away and killed all
of them before they could open
fire. They were heavily armed,
some of them having rifles and
all of them having hand grenades
and rags soaked in gasoline.
'"The only thing that saved us
was the fact that we were very
fast in opening fire on them and
we were dead shots. They almost
got a chance to use the hand
grenades, but they were not fast
enough. They had pulled out the
pins, but hadn't hit them to fin
ish setting them off. We we're
very lucky.
"The Jap officer had a beau
tiful sword and pistol on him. l
took the pistol and Bennett the
sword.
"They are going to give us the
bronze medal for gallantry in
action.
Don't worry about me because
it's all over" SO concludes the let
ter.
Johnson has been a member of
the Marine Corps for the past
seven years. He has been in the
Southwest Pacific for % months
and taken part in several major
engagements, but is now resting
at a home base somewhere in the
Pacific theatre of action.

Optimistic battles news from vir-

hopes the Republican National Con-

ammunition for business, seemed to
spur purchasers. The outlook for
quick reconversion to civilian man

. Low-priced oils, motors, utilities
and other industrials came out in
blocks of several thousand shares
