Friction in Honolulu
Has City Disturbed

HONOLULU, Nov. 81 R.-This
one-time Pacific playground, turned
into an armed camp after Pearl
Harbor, has postwar hangover
which is straining tempers of civil
tans and servicemen to the point of
creating . major problem.
Recent clashes, which prompted
Secretary of the Interior Ickes to
ask the Navy for an investigation, is
surface evidence of a social problem
far deeper than any hostile feelings
between so-called native "gooks" and
servicemen.
This friction has reached the
point where unfounded rumors of
fights put the Army and Navy men
in a mood to carry chip on their
shoulders.
One of the factors involved is the
Islands juvenile delinquency situa-
ton resulting from upsets in nor
mai life due to the war.

Vice Conditions Found
On Every Front, Say
Service ChapIains

Service chaplains at the November
meeting Of the Army Navy Chap

voiced the opinion yesterday that
vice conditions are similar to those
in Japan described in a letter by
Navy Chaplain Lawrence L. Lacour,
were prevalent on every fighting
front. Chaplain Lacour's letter
published originally in the Des
Moines Gowa) Register, was re-
printed Sunday in The Star.
The chaplains met yesterday at
the Continental Hotel with 1t. Col
John K. Borneman. USA, chief of
Army chaplains of the Military Dis
trict of Washington and president of
the local organization presiding.
Recognizing the fact that service
authorities were faced with an al
most impossible situation" the
chaplains nevertheless deplored a
condition which put the Navy in the
position of apparently sanctioning
houses of prostitution.

lckes Calls on Navy
For Investigation Of
Clashes in Hawaii
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Fress.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes to-
day asked the Navy to investigate
recent disturbances in Honolulu in
volving naval personnel and civil
ians.
In letter to Secretary of the
Navy Forrestal Mr.. Ickes said he
believed such an investigation would
lead to closer cooperation between
naval authorities and law-enforce-
ment authorities of the territorial
government
Mr.. Ickes told Mr.. Forrestal that
Gov. Ingram M. Stainback of
Hawaii would "assist you personally
in every possible way and will also
make available the assistance of
territorial officials"
Mr.. Ickes said reports of disturb
ances between personnel of the
Honolulu Air Station and civilians
In the Damon track residential area
OF Honolulu ARE deeply disturbing
to me as I know they must be to
YOU"
Gov. Stainback has reported to
me that the disturbance which took
place on the night of November u
involved upwards of 500 sailors and
resulted in limited amount of
damage to civilian property" Mr..
1ckeS wrote.
He also reports that the outbreak
apparently started from unconfirm-
ed rumors that two sailors had been
murdered on the same night in the
Damon track neighborhood.
Accordingly, should like to sug-
gest that an investigation be ordered
as quickly as possible. I believe
that such an investigation should
lay particular stress on the basic
causes of friction and at the same
time provide recommendation lead
ing to closer cooperation between
naval authorities and the law-en-
forcement agencies of the territorial

THE 26th's withdrawal was made possible
by thousand acts Of valor, but none
exceeded the courage of that of Mai. T. J.
II. Trapnell, fine football and polo player
and fine officer who had served under

Cavalry before the war.
Trap" commanded the 26th rear
guard as it pulled the Japs eastward. Jap
tanks were pressing him severely as he
edged back About half way between Da--
mortis and Rosario he came upon a wooden
bridge over deep, muddy stream, i'm
practicable for tanks to ford
So he Communicated a truck and
damned it sideways across the important
little bridge. The Jap tanks were within
range of him now and giving him every
thing they had But he calmly took out his
pistol, shot the car carburetor off the

got away-a feat for which he eventually
was given the Distinguished Service Cross

knows what indignities begin, when
Bataan fell. He survived not only his i'm
prisonment but also escaped from the sink

so many others to their deaths few short
months before the end of the long war.

They had suffered about $50 men

standard seven-ton light tanks of that day,
were operating in my area but were under
the independent command of Brig. Gen.
James R. n Weaver.
T ASKED that a company (16) of them
Il be sent to Damortis to help the 26th in
its difficult and varied mission. Instead,
only platoon of five was sent and it was
not nearly enough.
The platoon fought as we'll as it could
against the Japs, whose light mortars and
pie-pan mines were death on such tanks,
especially when there we're not many to
contend with. Suffice it to say those tanks
should have been wholly mine or not at all.
But on its alternate mission the 18th
more than made good When it withdrew
it succeeded in pulling the Japs to the east
ward toward Rosario, fighting gallant de-
laying actions all the way.
AS | fofesaw, the 26th backed across
the kennon road, and when the Japs fol-
lowed they thus cut off Bonnet and his
resting men. The 18th continued its
battling withdrawal until it reached and
crossed the Bued River below and east of
Rosario.
Bonnet and his men were isolated
somewhere up the sacrificed Kennon road.
But the 18th shaky flank, indeed our whole
right side, would not now be crumpled.
