Nimitz Sees Attacks
By Ships and Planes
Deep in Jap Areas
By the Associated Press.

PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Pearl Harbor, May 81
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz now
foresees the day when American
planes and warships will move bold
ly into Japanese areas where only
submarines roam now in search of
more ships to add to the $500 900
tons the suJmersibles have sunk.
Decorating submarine heroes for
deeds which must be kept secret, the
commander of the Pacific Fleet and
Pacific Ocean areas told the men
they will "be Joined sooner or later
by our surface and aircraft" in their
field of action.
Only a short time previously, the
admiral announced that for the
second time in the war land-based
Army and Navy Liberators moved
1,l00 miles west of their Marshalls
bases Sunday to attack Saipan in
the Marianas on the south approach
to Tokyo.
These bombers tangled with IL
interceptors, shooting down two,
weathered anti-aircraft opposition
In bombing theirv targets and all
returned safely from the long flight
over waters dotted with enemy bases
such as Truk.
Among the heroes decorated by
Nimitz at submarine base was
Comdr. Richard Hetherington
O'Kane of New London, Conn. and
San Rafael, Calf, whose submarine,
Tang, recently rescued % flyers of
carrier planes downed in or near
Truk's lagoon. The Navy Cross was
added to Comdr OKanes silver
star and two gold stars.
Another Navy Cross went to Capt.
Charles B. Momsen, inventor of the
MomSen lung, and this fact attached
added interest to Admiral Nimitz's
assertion that submarine crews
have shown noteworthy capacity
to learn new tactics and new meth
ods of getting the most out of their
versatile weapons"

Grounded Ship Lashe'
BY Sea After Rescue
OF 1000 Sailors
BY the Associated Press.

/ ~ tsAS AspoSi6tCa 1859
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-The
sea today was pounding the Liberty
ship Henry Bergh to pieces on the
Irocks of Farralon Islands, 80 miles
west of the Golden Gate, but her
more than 1000 Navy passengers
were safe.
The 10.500-ton vessel ran ashore
in fog and rain at dawn yesterday
while bringing the sailors home
from war service in the South Pa
cific.
Rescue Operations Orderly.
Rescue operations were orderly
and the Navy said there were no
reports of casualties among the
men, hundreds of whom fioated in
life jackets or rode RATS until picked
up by patrol boats.
So swiftly were rescue operations
put in effect that the majority of
the men were removed directly
from the grounded transport to
patrol boats. Others made the
shores of the small islands. All
were brought to San Francisco.
Distress signals from the Henry
Bergh were first heard at am.
Robert Klares, "a, of Minneap-
oils said that when the alarm
sounded my first thought was that
in the fog and darkness we had hit
another vessel"
Water Covered With Oil.
"But the skipper told >us in a
good -natured, calm voice over the
speaker system that we had gone
aground and directed us to get off
the ship in RATS and boats" Klares
said. THE water was covered With
oil and was cold as hell"
The Navy reported the transport
was breaking Into pieces rapidly"
Efforts were speeded to salvage all
possible material.
The Henry Bergh, operating un-
der private charter as a transport,
was built in 1912 at Henry j.
Kaiser yard at Richmond, Calf,
and was owned by the War Ship
ping Administration.
