enlisted men and two officers, the
Navy said, after the terrific blast
split the Turner in two. Most of
the rescued had injuries.
No figures were given by the Navy
OF the number of casualties in the
loss OF the two vessels, each of which
carried more than 100 men.
Notifications have been sent to
the next of kin of all casualties,
the Navy said.
Built by the Federal Ship Build
ing and Drydock Co. at Kearny
N. j., the Turner, one Of the newer
type destroyers, carried four 5-inch
guns and had 10 torpedo tubes. 4
The Leary, commissioned Decem-
ber S, 1919, was armed with four 4
inch and one 3-inch guns. She had
quarters for 145 officers and men
but that complement would be in
creased in time of war.
Both in 1880 Class.
Comdr. Kyes was born in Ever
EFT, Wash, in 1906, and was grad
uated from the Naval Academy in
1880. He was given command of
the Leary in August, 1912, after pre-
vious service aboard the aircraft
carriers Saratoga and Ranger. His
wife lives in Seattle.
Comdr. Wygant, born in King
fisher, Okla, who also was graduated
from the Naval Academy in 1880 and
since then has been assigned to sea
duty. He received command of the
Turner in February, 1943.
The Turner, launched less than 25
miles from the scene of its sinking,
was christened at Kearny by Mrs.
Louis E. Denfield of the Westches-
ter Apartments, widow of Rear Ad-
miral Denfield.
Mrs. Wygant said today that she
was getting ready to go to New
York to see her son when the Navy
notified her he was missing in the
explosion OF the Turner.
The last time she saw him. she
said, was in April, when she at
tended the Turner's commissioning
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Her son, she said, attended schools
at Harrisburg, Pa, and Ithaca, N. Y,
where her husband was stationed
before his appointment to the Naval
Academy.
In 1881 he married Miss Peggy
Howe at jamestown, R. I. She is
the daughter of Capt. William B
Howe, U. S. N. Mrs. Wygant, jr.
lives at Jackson Heights, Long
Island, N. Y, and Is the mother OF
three children, Peggy, 8; Billy, 5,
and Dickie, 2.
In 1884, while on the -stroyer
Gilmer, Comdr. Wygant was COM
mended by the Secretary of the
Navy for fruitless attempt to
rescue Navy pilot from shark
infested waters" Comdr. Wygant
was. officer Of rescue boat that
put out from the Gilmer in an
effort to save the pilot, whose ship
crashed after taking off from the
carrier Lexington. Although it was
200 miles off shore, Comdr. Wygant
dove into the water and brought
up the body.
While on the Gilmer he escorted
President Roosevelts cruise in
southern waters on the Houston in
1885.

Southwest Pacific Landings
Keep Jops on Defensive
BY WILLIAM F. BONI,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
SOM WHERE IN NEW
GUINEA, Jan. 5.-On the basis of
eyewitness observation of all three
amphibious landings which 9th
Army forces have made-at Arawe,
lew Britain, December Is; Cape
Gloucester, New Britain, December
25. and Saidor, New Guinea, Janu-
ary 2-it is safe to say the Japa-
nese are on the defensive through
out the Southwest Pacific. In fact,
they're almost on the run.
With the exception of one small
diversionary raid at AraWe, which
suffered heavy losses, all three in
vasions were accomplished virtually
without opposition.
200 of Foe Slain at Gloucester.
Since those landings only the op-
position at Cape Gloucester has been
worth mentioning. There today's
advices from headquarters of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur told of marines,
attached to the 9Th Army, killing
200 enemy soldiers Monday in shat
tering counterattack made in the
Bergen Bay area. Approximately
$500 japanese have been slain at
Cape Gloucester since the invasion.
The character of the opposition on
the whole reflects credit on the in
telligence sections of the various
services which chose the sites where
the japanese were expected to be
weak.
The smoothness with which each
landing was eXecuted-they conSti-
tuted almost letter perfect team
work between the Navy, Army and
Air Forces-left the definite impress
sion however, that each would have
been successful even against a sub
stantial defending force.
Rabaul Kept on Defensive.
The reports today from headquar-
ters of Gen. Macarthur were barren
of developments concerning Arawe,
which was intended from the begin
ming as diversion for the Cape
Gloucester operation. But the trap
set for Japanese forces caught be-
pWCCll I1uOll anu OdloOl
on New Guinea began to close.
The lower jaw on the peninsula
has been moved Is miles northWard
in three days by Australians who
now are 80 airline miles from
Saidor. The upper jaw at Saidor
itself is beachhead three miles
deep and three miles along the
shore, wedged into the enemy's
coastal supply route.
Rabaul, the New Britain strong
hold 265 miles northeast of Cape
Gloucester was kept on the defen-
tive by two new Allied air raids,
one 32-ton bombardment Sunday
night and the other midday strike
Monday during which II of 80 enemy
interceptors were shot down.

to the employment of men who want
to rebuild their farms, their bust
nesses, or go into business for them
selves
Many servicemen believe that fed
eral legislation should be enacted now
to provide for their immediate en-
ployment upon being mustered out,
and that mastering out pay should
not cease until the serviceman is en-
ployed.
A very touchy question, but com
mented upon in almost every letter
is the suggestion that women be re-
turned to the homes, while wounded
WAC from a hospital in Italy re-
marked, 1.-THE war has really eman-
cipated the females; we've built bomb
ers, ships and tanks and have gone
into the front lines with the men;
nobody is sending me back to the
kitchen"
Among the suggestions offered by
servicemen for making jobs available
to all, is to get new inventions off
the shelves, setting up of industry
production quotas, slum clearance.
Also that America become homestead
ly self-sufficient and do away with i'm
ports and exports, uniformity of
prices, creation of annual minimum
wages in all industries, highway con-
overseas employment with
the Armies of Occupation, reduction
of taxes, incentive taxation and the
of television into an avenue
of employment for millions.

MILITARY "MoTHERS"

Existence of a novel Japanese mill
tary institution-the Mother Unit
was revealed recently by the Tokyo
radio Members of such units, it was
explained, are uniformed handymen
who go along with Japanese troops in
the field and perform such helpful
little chores as making charcoal, pre-
pairing hot meals, citing trees, weav-
ing sacks, storing equipment and even
mending the soldiers clothing.
The Tokyo radio told the Japanese
people that these non-combatant sup
ply troops were known as Mother
Units" because they minister to the
needs of the soldiers "just like the
mothers at home"
Reporting on the activities of one
of these units in the Torokina area of
island, the broadcast
dwelt at length on the Herculean eff
forts of the mothers" in sewing but
tons and patches on torn uniforms.
"The Mother Unit does not con-
front the problem of mending few
Clothes" the broadcast said. "They
come in the hundreds as the men who
fight vigorously send their torn and
tattered clothes to this unit for repair.
The Mother Unit works fast and
hard to return the fighting mems
clothes back to them, if possible even
a second sooner. 1t is a big job they
have"
Another "big job" for the Mother
Unit" according to the Tokyo radio
Is to prepare charcoal so that the
soldiers can cook hot meals without
having too much smoke give away
heir positions.
"In those large, thick forests on
he fighting front in the South Pacific,
our soldiers cannot burn fire even by
lay" the broadcast said, for just as
soon as a tiny bit of smoke goes up
nto the sky, enemy planes are upon

The maximum duration of temper
airy disability benefits is 26 weeks il
year. Although the duration of un
employment benefits may be in
creased to So weeks in year follow

adequacy of the fund to effect such
increase, no such provision is made
with respect to temporary disability
benefits.
The Health Provisions Meet an Urgent
| Need of the American People
We approve the health and disabil-
| ity provisions of the bill. We regard
them as urgently required for the pro-
lection of the health of the American
people.
These provisions have been opposed
by some physicians organizations, al
though organizations such as The
Physicians Forum have expressed
their support for the general princi-
pies embodied in these provisions.
In essence, the argument of the
opponents is that these provisions
would bring about system of Estate
medicine" and would destroy the pri-
vate practice of medicine in the
United States. These contentious are
without foundation. Nothing contained
in the bill requires any physician to
render any service if he does not wish
to do so. Beneficiaries, similarly,
have free choice of physicians.
The experience of physicians in
countries which have had health in
surance systems for years demon
strates the unsoundness of these con-
tentions. In Great Britain, health in
surance has been in effect for over
a quarter of century, and the British
Medical Association has repeatedly
approved 1t. British physicians would
regard as absurd the suggestion that
health insurance has brought about
system of state medicine.
The opponents of health insurance
ignore the fundamental problem which |
health insurance is designed to meet:
how to distribute the costs of medical
care so that those who need medical |
care will receive it. 1t is because
sickness is unpredictable that it is
for majority of the Amer
lean people effectively to budget to
meet its costs. 1t is because catas-
-rophic sickness most frequently falls
upon those who can least afford to
pay for its costs that a method for
distributing the costs is necessary. 1t
IS because the whole nation is con-
,erned with the health of all the peo-
pie that his problem must be solved
IN a national scale. The bill provides
sound and effective means of deal
ng with the problem.
Next week we shall discuss "the
and extension of unem-
,loyment insurance to replace the ex-
sting state systems.")
