U.S.S. Tennessee Skipper Wore
StrowHot inPeorIHor Battle
Copt. 6. E. Reordon
Was on Sick List
When Jops Came
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
KEY WEST, Fla, April 12.-No
other American naval officer ever
commanded a battleship during a
major action while wearing civil
ian clothes and a straw hat.
But Capt. Charles E. Reordan did
it-and that's only one of the quirks
of a Pearl Harbor story with a
happy ending.
The propellers of Capt. Reordan's
ship, the Tennessee, spun for "a
hours at full speed and probably
saved the vessel from destruction
yet the huge battle wagon didn't
bulge an inch.
One giant Japanese projectile hit
the Tennessee few feet from the
bridge-Capt. Reordan escaped in
jury and the skipper of an adjoin-
ing battleship was killed by the
blast
When the japanese opened their
sneak attack, Capt Reordan was
an i'll man, ordered to stick to a
rigid diet. When he walked off the
bridge SO hours later for a few
moments rest, he was we'll again,
and his only nourishment had been
hunks of bread and thick slabs of
corned beef.
Commended for Performance.
Now commandant of the Key
West naval operating base, Capt.
Reordan is the only surviving bat
tleship commander to be COM
mended for his performance at
Pearl Harbor
For distinguished service in line
of your profession as commanding
officer of the U. S. S. Tennessee"
said a citation from Admiral C. w.
Nimitz, commander of the Pacific
Fleet
The devotion to duty and disci-
pline displayed by the entire ships
company during the attack on the
United States Pacific Fleet in Pearl
Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Jap
aneSe forces on December 7, 1941,
and thereafter in fighting the grave
ly menacing fires in the ship
throughout the remainder of the day
and that night, was outstanding and
reflects great credit on your force,
leadership and ability as a COM
manding officer"
Capt. Reordan tells the story today
because he is proud of the crew
which brought the Tennessee
through the attack.
On the morning of December 7,
the Tennessee was tied up at a dock,
alongside the battleship West Vir-
ginia Astern was the Arizona:
tied to another dock ahead were
the Oklahoma and the Maryland.
Ashore When Japs Attacked.
Capt. Reordan was ashore, wear
ing civilian clothing in accordance
with peace-time custom. When the
japanese planes struck, he hurried
to his ship and took command.
1T was several hours later" he
recalled, that some one noticed
that I was wearing a straw hat,
and handed me helmet"
| Meanwhile, the Arizona had been
sunk and was burning f1ereely.
Flaming oil spread over the water
and threatened to engulf the Ten
nessee. which was pinned against
its dock by the West Virginia, also
hard hit and af1ame.
With fire hoses, the Tennessee's
crew fought the flames menacing
from two directions They were not
enough to hold back the burning oil
from the Arizona.
L thought we might be able to

was holding back the flaming oil
from the Arizona"
A smile wrinkled the veteran
officers face.
Il felt dumb for not thinking of
it before"
The propellers protected the Ten
nessee for "a hours. until the flames
subsidized.
The West Virginia and the Ten
nessee were moored so that their
bridges were only a few feet apart
Capt. Mervyn Bennion was on the
starboard side of the West Virginia S
bridge when Japanese bomb
believed to have been a 16-inch
armour-piercing projectile - struck
the Tennessee admidship.

move forward little and get into
a safer position" the speaker re-
lated, and I ordered slow speed
ahead. We didn't move. I ordered
the speed increased until the en-
gines were turning over at full speed.
Still we didn't move, because the
West Virginia had us damned.
Propellers Held Back Flames.
But about that time I noticed
that the wash from the propellers

Capt Bennion was fatally in

tected officers and men on the Ten
nessee's bridge.
The Tennessee finally was freed
after the dock was dynamited, and
was at sea within a few days of
the attack.

Civil Rights in Hawaii
Washington Post)

Lieutenant General Richardson's decision to re- linquish the title of military governor of Hawaii has eliminated at least one of the various points of irritation between the military establishment and the civilian population of the islands By precisely what authority legality this title assumed in the first place by General Richardson predecessor is not clear AS far as We learn. the office of military gov ernor' had previously existed only in conquered or occupied territories in districts actually tech nically in state of rebellion, and it is not much that the residents of Hawaii who of course much citizens of the United States say Kansans or Caifornians, were sensitive on the point.
 On the whole General Richardson appears to have adopted more conciliatory and tactfu policies toward the civil authorities and toward civilian abilities than his predecessors However 1t does not appear that in his surrender of the title the Army has made any further surrender of its powers over civilian activities The division of functions between military and civil authorities apparently remains just what it has been since March TO- 1943 when General permitted certain measure of civil govern ment to be resumed.
 In other words, although the actual front of the Pacific War is farther away from Hawaii than the European battlefront from Atlantic seaboard the islands remain in state of quasi martial law. Re- gently there has been complaint not only about martial law but also about the enormous emergency powers vested in Governor Stainback by the Hawaii Defense Act which presumably would remain operative even if martial law were entirely revoked The suspension civil rights by the military and the exercise of extraordinary powers by the territorial governor though in both cases of doubtful legality might have been justified as emergency measures when Hawaii stood in imminent danger of invasion, but 1t is hard to see how they can be justified now.
 Hawaii is still and is likely to remain the great central base of all operations throughout the Pacific but this hardly seems reason why Amer ican citizens in Hawaii should be denied liberties enjoyed by American citizens on the mainland.

Now I think Hitler may do the same thing and spoil the Vice Presidents next speech" Re- publican Senator Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska surprised colleagues by ordering hearings of the Senate Small Business Committee on used- car price ceilings, despite the fact that Wherry himself is used-car dealer. Senators traditionally are not supposed to participate m pressure legislation for their own financial benefit, but Wherry ap- parently sees no wrong with try ing to jack up used-car ceiling prices, although such an OPA in- crease would personally benefit him. Wherry is one of the largest Ford dealers in Nebraska. |. q. FDR has finally posed for d new campaign picture, after much

persuasion from Democratic Pub hcity Czar Paul Porter, who hasn't
 liked recent pictures. Roose- welt finally agreed after Porter ar ranged to have him shot at Hyde Park by Perskie Bros, the New York photographers who took the official shots in 1892, 1886 and 1940. GI Joes are plenty peeved over the Army's mastering out pay program. Canada gives Its discharged men S100 for clothing
 plus $900 for each months service
 :. GI Joes are writing the War Department that most men will need an entirely new wardrobe costing their total mastering pay. GIs also want Congress to see that they get paid for fur tough time-off which they don't receive. :. Under the law, ser vicemen are entitled to 21 days off each year, but the pay is not cumulative, nor can they collect this extra pay for all the time off when they are discharged.
 Officers receive extra pay for all the time-off they are entitled to

when they leave the service. CTS want to draw their furlough pay when they leave the Army too {. Servicemen also complain that although they are healthy enough to be shipped overseas, the Vet erans Bureau refuses to give them maximum insurance policy unless they pass stiff physical exams =. Many men entering the Army don't take out maximum insur- ance policies, wait until they get ready to ship out before insuring to the hilt. The law provides that men can get maximum gov ernment insurance during 12O days in uniform, must take special in- surance physicals after that time . Result is that many pass mus ter for shipment overseas, but fail insurance tests because of minor disabilities

stand up under that assault? Apparently Admiral Nimitz does not think In the field the Japanese have proved to be fanatica fighters, large numbers of them preferring suicide to surrender But there are probably cooler heads at home-statesmen who faced by certain defeat will want to salvage what they can, industralists who will no advantage in having the labors of generations destroyed merely to foresta the inevitable and then not for long. The Emperor and his circle may also feel that while unconditional surrender would certainly mean the destruction of Japanese mtarsm it might not neces sarily mean the destruction o1 age-old Japanese
 institutions Japan in the past has accommodated herself to hard facts when she had to and she may do it again. Under pressure from Germany, Russia and France, she gave up of the gains she acquired as a result of her successful in China in 1894 Under pressure from the United States she gave the Shantung issue in 1922 In this respect history may repeat itself.
 However neither Admiral Nimitz any other American military or naval leader is banking a Japanese surrender. If Japan only be defeated by invasion then we are prepared to invade In the meantime the certainty of her ultimate defeat is being brought home to the Japanese daily and on dozen of the far-flung Pacific front
