7orpedoed Worship Is Saved
By Prompt Action of Skipper
Copt. Thurber, Once
Press Chief Here,
Averts Disaster

An American warship commanded
by Capt. Harry Raymond Thurber,
former director of the Navy De-
partment's Bureau of Public Re-
lations, was hit ammidships by an
aerial torpedo while presumably
taking part in naval support of the
invasion forces in the Philippines
on October 81, delayed Associated
Press dispatch reported today.
Alert damage control saved the
vessel from capsizing or sinking
and prompt order by Capt.
Thurber for the ship to be backed
probably saved it from taking a
fatal hit near the engine room,
according to the dispatch.
Capt. Thurber was having his
hair cut when the alarm was
sounded, the dispatch said. 1t was
the third torpedo hit scored so far
IN the war on his ship.
Some of the officers and men were
killed when the torpedo hit port
side just forward of the bridge SUI
perstructure. A flaming blast shat
tered the antiaircraft crews BERTH

sion killed nearly every one there.

received from Mr.. Erickson TODAY
placed him Aboard a Warship off

that the attack on Capt. Thurber' 5
vessel was in the vicinity of the
Philippines.
Capt. Thurber, 40, of Hoquiam,
Wash, served here in the Navy De-
partment's information section from
1924 to 1927, returned for another
two-year duty in 1890, and came
here again in 1910 as officer in
charge of public relations. He was
director of the Office of Public Re-
lations in December, 1912, when
transferred to the staff of Admiral
William F. Halsey, jr., then COM
mander of the South Pacific area.
He has received the Legion of Merit
for outstanding service as operations
officer on Admiral Halsey's staff.

The text of the naval communioue
from japanese imperial headouar-
ters, as broadcast in English and re-
corded by the FEC, said:
Japanese naval units in close
cooperation with japanese air units
have been f1ercely attacking the
enemy task force and transports
since yesterday morning. Enemy
losses ascertained so far are as fol-
lows:
Sunk: -Four aircraft carriers, in
cluding an Enterprise type; two
cruisers, one destroyer and more
than four transports
Those damaged: Two aircraft
carriers, one battleship and two
cruisers.
Japanese losses were two cruisers
and noe destroyer sunk"
Little Doubt Fleet is Out.
While japanese stories of naval
actions are highly unreliable, there
appeared to be little doubt that the
Mikado's feet had at last come out
of hiding to engage in one of the
crucial naval battles of the Pacific
war.
Domei asserted 'the navy and air
forces of both Japan and the United
States" have been engaged in vio-
lent battles in waters east of Samar
Island in the Philippines since this
morning."
The Tokyo radio was deyoting
more broadcast time to stories of
the Philippines naval action that it
did to its wildly extravagant claims

naval abattle off Formosa that was
never fought.
At that time Tokyo claimed 81

Rushed 10 Walter Reed

Eleven wounded American soldiers
who returned Friday on the re-
patriate liner Gripsholm arrived al
GAS pm. yesterday at the National
Airport from Newark and were i'm
mediately taken to the Walter Reed
Hospital in ambulances.
The seven officers and four en-
listed men were taken to the New
ark Airport from Halloran General
Hospital, Staten Island, in Red
Gross ambulances and put aboard a
CAT transport plane which had
been temporarily converted into a
hospital transport.
Five of the men were in the Air
Corps, three in the infantry, one
each in the arlnored forces and the
Transportation Corps and one whose
service unit is as yet unknown. All
the men were repatriated from Ger
many with the exception of two, one
from Africa and one from Italy.
The men, most of whom have had
either leg or arm amputation, will
receive further treatment at the
hospital.
Two Army nurses, Capt. Leora
Strouf and Second 1t. Irene Brown,
accompanied the veterans on the
trip from Newark TO Washington.
