ABOARD A BRITISH CARRIER
FLAGSHIP OFF THE RYUKUS,
Sometime in May. (CP)-Two Jap
anese suicide planes barrelled down
through the blazing barrage. carom-
ed off the deck of this British car
rier and crashed into the sea.
The Kamekazis made a deSper-
ate try at Rear Admiral Sir Philip
l.. VANS flagship.
Three of these suicide filters came
down on us within 10 minutes. They
broke through the fighter screen
covering the four big carriers in
his task force and two of them
rammed straight at our flagship.
The third went after the carrier on
our starboard beam
ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE
Both of our ships suiciders clip
ped the carrier. But because our
gunners DETECTED them at the last
instant the only damage was a red
paint scratch on the flight deck
and broken antenna on a gun
director mount.
The first came in from astern.
The 20-mm gunners on the fantail
put in long burst that knocked off
piece of his wing.
Heavier guns on the flight deck
blazed into him point blank as he
closed on the island" and by this
time he was burning furiously and
riddled with shell holes.
The barrage completely broke the
force of his dive and levelled the
plane off. He struck the flight deck
amidships at crazy angle, bounc-
ed and plunged overheard, clipping
off the antenna just before he
struck the sea.
The pilots body popped momen-
tarily to the surface, clad in a green
funeral uniform" Then it disap-
peared
The wheels and tail surfaces of
the first Kamekazi were just drift
ing astern when the second came
in off the starboard beam. flying
level.
We watched him angle toward
our carrier with agonizing slowness.
When he was almost directly over
head and slightly astern, he lifted
enc wing, swung slowly up and over,
and started dropping on us.
He had beautiful plane. 1t was
a sleek "Zeke" that cleaned silver
in the sun. We watched him come
straight down at us for long sec
onds.
The big guns already had opened
up on him. The pompoms started as
he swung his nose down. Then the
small caliber machine guns ratified
away from all over the ship.
He was almost on top of us and
still not smoking.
Suddenly, in the last 100 feet of
his dive, he was hit He swerved
just enough to miss hitting the is
land fulton. His wing clipped the
islands starboard side and the plane
sheered off to strike the sea at full
throttle.
The explosion threw up boiling

And Food For Thought

Thousands of tons of grain liter ally pour into Schenley's distilleries, then thousands of gallons of alcohol for war purposes, made from this grain, pour out of its distilleries- And then, later, thousands of tons of cattle and poultry feed, made from this same grain, pour out of the distilleries to go back to the farm areas where the grain was grown. Sounds like a complete cycle, doesn't it?
 You see, very large portion of the grain used in making either war alcohol or beverage spirits or whiskey is recovered, because only the starch content of the grain is actually used in the distillation process. After the starch has been taken out, the grain is processed into just the finest kind of high protein feed for dairy cattle, hogs and poultry.
 Right now, Schenley is expanding it's facilities for grain recovery installing new equipment at its plants in four states, which will in- crease feed production to approxi- mately two hundred forty-four million pounds, yearly All of which is important to the farmer, because shortage of feed means shortage in his production of the country's basic foods: milk, meat, poultry and eggs.
 And here is something else worth while remembering: even when the beverage industry is producing alcohol at top capacity for vital war purposes, these alcohol require ments consume only about 29o of the nations grain supply, and about one-third of this grain is subsequently, converted into farm feeds.
 Surprising?

 So it goes. The whole set-up of the Veterans Administrator lacks the proper number of employees. Sc don't be annoyed, Veteran, if that claim of yours for disability pay or that application for something else is delayed until your teeth are all broken off from the gnashing you give them.
 You'll need to use patience. And if you can use job-maybe be V. A can use you.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-04-23

Recently, the operations of V. A. hospitals were taken for a ride in a couple of articles in one national magazine.
 The Administrator of Veterans Affairs met the criticism with a clever maneuver He calmly called ! in the heads of the Disabled Ameri- can Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion and asked them is they would make their own investigation of V. A. hospital conditions.
 To me that indicates how sure General Hines is of his V. A. hos pital operations. He asks for an im- partial investigation. No strings at tached. Te results will be made pub lie and they will be interesting.
 Everyone knows that the V. A. is short of doctors. A further trouble comes from the number of nurses the V. A. hospitals need but ain't got. They need 1000 right now they're already short that many. By July 1, there will be many thousands more hospital beds completed for the V. A. and another 2,000 nurses will be needed.
 But the Army needs 16,000 nurses the Navy at least 2,00O more. Paul McNutt, the War Manpower Com mission chairman, has announced that 25,0O0 private duty nurses are available for military service. Sure, they're available; but it's doubtful 1 if they'll all meet age and physical requirements; so a draft of nurses may not get the 10000 needed by the services.
 In the meatime, where are the nurses for V. A. hospitals coming from? It's going to have to be from those who don't meet Army or Navy requirements. And then, after the war, there's only the hope that many service nurses will trans fer to the Veterans Administration. Anyway, if you know just one pri- vate-life nurse. put the squeeze on her to get into the Veterans Ad- ministration Service. She'll be car ng for and helping the same young man who yesterday was in an Army Navy hospital He has a dis
 ,srge, but he's the same guy The
 's7bilities of these Global War Vet
 ms can be frightened and short
 ned with good nursing care.
 A V. A. nurse is a Civil Service employee. She doesn't have to leave the country = may not have to leave
 sr own locality or home.
 She doesn't have to meet age or physical requirements demanded by the Army or Navy. She can be a married woman with a dozen kids.
 The minimum pay is $2,190 year for an eight hour day. She has a regular, lasting position, and she is sharing heavily and directly in the war effort.
 Besides lack of enough nurses in V. A. hospitals, there's a real short age of male hospital attendants. It's so serious that the Army has detach- ed about $500 limited-service en- listed men to the Veterans Admin istration. Many male attendants were lest to war plants and the arm- ed forces V. A. hospitals could ac- comodate many more disabled men than they now have, if the hospital personnel were available to take care of them.
 i The construction of V. A. hospital facilities with beds to accommodate disabled ex-service people, has gone ahead satisfactorily enough. At the moment, there are 5000 beds of all types in 94 Veterans Hospitals and Homes, and others already author ized should bring the total to 138,- Oo0 beds of all types. This may meet V. A. needs for the immediate fu-
