Stettinius Talks

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9 (INS)
Acting Secretary of State Stet
tinius conferred today with am
bassadors of the other American
republics in what he described as
a continuing series of discussions
on the Dumbarton Oaks proposal.
This was the third meeting OF
the series. IL differed from the
others, however, in that il was d
working session held TO examine,
paragraph by paragraph, the
Dumbarton Oaks document and
its relation 10 the Pan-American
peace machinery.
Today's conference was at
tended by Is Latin American dip
lomats. The representatives OF
Argentina and FL Salvador were
not invited. since these two gov
ernments are not recognized by
the United States. Recognition OF
the new government OF FL Saliva
dor now is the subject of con-
sultation among American repub.
lies.
Stettinius said the exchange Of
views regarding Argentina re-
quest for a consultative meeting
of foreign ministers had not yet
been completed.

stacked in V'formations for 5000
feet.
After a wild melee, with Jap
planes flaming. smoking and ex-
ploding in all directions, the Japs
fled. The eight Hellcats had shot
down rs Jap planes and lost only
one of their own.
The ferocity of the onslaught
apparently took the heart out of
the Japs. whose attacks never
reached the same intensity. Days
later the convoy reached safe
waters and carrier escort re-
lieved this ship-its captain salut-
ing the job they had done and
saying:
~ feel like a WAVE taking
the place Of a fighting man."

ton to acquire a 100000 site for

he expects TO have ready in 10
days.

hall commission. which
provides for acquiring property

TROUBLE JUST STARTING

A tug arrived Oct. Is. relieving
the cruiser of its towing duty. But
trouble had only begun.
That night a second American
ship was "fished' by enemy planes
and joined the plodding caravan.
Two more medium sized raids
were driven off during the morn
ing of Oct. l6.
The cripples by this time were
leaving a 40-mile oil slick which
could be readily tracked by ap-
preaching Jap planes. II proved a
good hunting ground. One enemy
spotter was shot down over the oil
slick and few minutes later how
ering Wildcats bagged another.
Early in the afternoon OF Oct.
is the Japs made an about bId,
with as many AS Is enemy planes
diving on our formation. Opposing
them were eight Americans.

Jeffries advised council that he
was certain the city could handle
purchase of the site, but it would
be necessary to make acquisitions

IN BOMBER RANGE

The first ship was torpedoed the
night of Oct. l3 and lay dead in
the water until taken in tow by
a cruiser within easy range OF
land-based bombers from For
moSa.
Three other cruisers, four de-
stroyers and this carrier were AS
signed 10 try 10 get the ship out
of danger. Jap shoppers lowered
nearby throughout the night and
organized the first big attack the
next afternoon.
They were driven off after three
enemy planes had crashed flaming
into the sea and two others had
been smoked down-causing the
Japs to withdraw for a new esti-
mate of our power.

early in October.
With the ships now being re-
paired, details of the nightmarish
u hours can be told for the first
time.
American fiiers put up such a
vicious fight that Jap ships never
dared TO appear. Beating off day
and night attacks by as many as
rs japanese planes, carrier pilots
destroyed at least al of the at
tackers. probably shot down three
others and damaged 10 more.
The total of planes that fliers
from this light carrier got was 80,
with rs accounted for in one after
noon by eight Hellcats. Only one
pilot from this ship was shot down
and he was rescued promptly.
