much toward bringing about ulti-

attacked by japanese suicide planes.

cannon. The plane broke its course
and swerved off to our port side
where 1t ran into the fire from our
20 nm. cannons. absorbing several
hits. The pilot then tried, TO crash
on our foredeck, but the plane al
ready was out of control. and plunged
into the sea some fifteen or twenty
feet from our bow. Nearly every
machine gun on board was aimed at
the plane as it dove toward us. and
as 1t exploded, bits of shrapnel and
explosives rained down on our FORE
deck. The deck and Lighthouses were
damaged. and two Of the crew we're

 Not once were we caught with our pants down." he said. "The Japs invariably came over cur bases on holidays, apparently fig uring that our boys would be off the posts, celebrating. Instead, I gave them days off either before or after the holidays, such as the Fourth of July, Christmas, etc., and we always were ready for them when they came over.'

The W ashinqton Merry Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The admirals and generals couldn't say so pub .licly, but they were boiling mad at Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes over giving Russia the Kurile Islands-the strip of island stepping stones extending fro m Japan north toward Siberia. Of course, the brass hats boil easily, but they say the Kuriles are the ! best Pacific site for launching rocket bombs against the United sStates.
 Here is the inside story of what happened. It goes back to some of the super-secret conversations at Yalta and Potsdam.
 Jimmy Byrnes was absolutely c right when he said that at Yalta, Russia had been promised the Kurile Islands. As matter of fact, she had been promised much more sthan that. Roosevelt, straining at the leash to get Stalin into the War against Japan, went the whole hog in dangling Asiatic bait before Uncle Joe's eyes. Here is what he promised:
 Russia would get CD all the Sakhalin; @ the Kurile Islands; ? (3) puppet Chinese Government in Manchuria which would be under the Russian thumb; (4) a .,puppet Government in Korea also under Moscow's thumb; (5 a
