As One Of Z Suicide
Planes Hits Target
Pictures on Page Az.
~ ihe Associated preSa

Official Navy reports today placed
at 43 the total casualties suffered
by the escort carrier Sangamon
when hit by japanese suicide plane
near Okinawa on May 4.
The ship, the former tanker ESQ
Trenton, was converted into a car
rier at the Newport News, (Va)
Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. and
was commissioned August Is, 1912.
Her arrival at the Norfolk Navy
Yard for repairs was reported We'd
nesday night.
The NaVy's announcement listed
her casualties as II dead, l3 miss
ing and 1a wounded.
Nine Kamikazes Downed.
The Sangamon had been help
ing destroy the Japanese air force
in the Southern Ryukyus immedi-
aCely before the kamikaze attack.
Twelve japanese suicide planes
started out on the attack which had
the Sangamon as its target. Nine of
the II fell victim to Marine Eau
Corsairs and one fed. The l1th, a
single-engine fighter, came in to at
tack, but was shot down by the
ships gunflre. The 18th, a two
engine bomber. escaped the gunflre
by plunging into a black cloud
astern of the ship.
Then, in his death plunge and
travelling at nearly 400 miles an
hour, he plummeted out of the
cloud.
AS the Sangamon and the Fullam,
an escorting destroyer. took him
under fire with all guns, he leveled
out slightly, nosed over into a shall
low dive. took hits, burst into flames
about 900 yards from the carrier,
dropped his bomb and crashed al
most simultaneously into the center
of the flight deck.
Ship Burned Five Hours.
For five hours the ship burned and
the crew fought flames heroically
without communications. sometimes
without control of the ship and
sometimes without water pressure.
The fire divided the ship. making it
impossible for those in the forward
portion to reach those in the after
part.
The ship finally was saved. said
1t. Lloyd r. Sorenson, Fargo, N
Oak, assistant first lieutenant of the
ship, "by individual effort of un-
numbered and, for the most part
unnamed little people who dug a
greatness up from the depths OF
themselves somehow and did what
had to be done. and did it effec-
lively"

Gets Orders for Pacific DUTY

occupation ana disarmament OF
Japan.
"The manner in which the Army
is meeting its moral obligations to
men with long and arduous service
is well demonstrated in the 86th
Division"
Before returning to the United
States the division was screened to
eliminate all men with IS points or
more. After 30-day furloughs at
home, the division was reassembled
at Camp Gruber, Okla, and was
screened again. This led to trans
fer of enlisted men with scores con-
siderably lower than IS, and men
over SO years old. The only excep-
tions were volunteers.
Object of the screening was to see
that no enlisted man with long and
arduous service was sent back over
seas and assist in the early return
to the United States of high score
men now in the Pacific.

Transition to peace meant sud-
den loss of jobs today for mounting
hundreds of thousands of war
workers.
Drastic slashes in Army and Navy
contracts left no section of the
country immune.
Many workers were laid off only
temporarily, but other jobless thou
sands jammed into United States
Employment Service Offices every
where. Applications for unemploy-
ment insurance scared.
No accurate estimate of the total
number of laid-off war workers was
available. War Mobilization and
Reconversion Director John w.
Snyder has predicted there would
be 100000 unemployed by Novem-
ber and possibly 100000 by spring.
Plane Workers Hard Hit.
Aircraft workers were hard hit.
Wright Aeronautical Corp, praising
its employees part in Americas
giant war production, handed final
pay checks to 1900 in Woodbridge,
N. j., and $4,000 in Cincinnati.
In Chicago, the Dodge B-29 works
dismissed $4,000 and the same num-
Der was laid off in Akron by Good

be jobless soon.
Detroit Picture Confused.
Connecticut big industrial re-
glons were in doubt as to their
status, but 26,500 were to be dis
charged in Bridgeport warplants
alone, and 1000 in Waterbury.
The picture also was confused in
Detroit, where ordnance cancella-

ployment estimate for the next few
weeks is between 250,000 and 300 900.
job terminations in Los Angeles
now total nearly 25,000-and unoffi-

workers imported from the East and
Midwest plan to remain in Califor-

rectly answered would receive pass
ing grades.

ing CAA regulations, acceptance of
gratuities and issuance of a flight
instructors rating to an applicant
who twice had been found unquali-
fled in another CAA region.
