MORE EST0NIANS
ARRIVE IN MIAMI
Eighteen Refugees Cross
Atlantic Ocean In 40
Foot Sloop Linda

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. % - up -
A third group of Estonian refu-
gees arrived here today after a
s.5O0-miIe voyage acros the At
lantic in a boat small than the
caravey which Christopher Column
bus used to discover the new
world.
The 4O-foot sloop Linda docked
at a municipal pier where two
other boats of similar size were
tied up after bringing other Es-
toaians and one Finn on the voyage
from Sweden.
With TIE 10 new arrivals on the
Linda the total number of Es-
tonians swelled to At. All told the
sane story they fled their
country when it was in German
hands, and refused to return since
It became Russian-occupied.
Two mishaps marked the voyage
Of the Linda" Otto Ellik, "A, suf-
fered a broken back in rough
weather in the Bay of Biscay, but
arrived here feeling all right"
Then, with Miami before their
eyes, their little craft grounded
and was relocated on the next high
tide.
Capt. Walter Rull, 80, captained
the Linda on the voyage from
Goteborg, Sweden, to Miami via
Scotland. Ireland, Madeira, Puerto
Rico and Santo Domingo. They
sailed from Sweden July 7.
The first group of 10 to arrive
was aboard the fIndanda'' skip
pered by Cept. Fleix Tandre,
which tied up here Aug. 81. A
second group arrived on the
Brill Sept. 9. Eleven Eston-
!ans and a Finn were aboard the

Battleship Has Enviable
Record Covering Almost
Fifty Engagements

RALEIGH, Sept. 2S.-R-The
USS North Carolina, whose battle
ensign will be presented to the
State of North Carolina in cere-
monies to be held at II a. m.
Monday in the state capitol building
here has an enviable battle record
which covers almost fifty engage
ments during fifteen Pacific cam
paigns, according to a Navy de-
partment report.
During her three years in the
Pacific the North Carolina bonn
barded enemy territory nine times
and shot down "a planes. Twice
she suffered battle damage but
went back to continue the fight
against the Japs.
Commissioned at the New York
navy yard on April 9, 1871, the bat
tleship began her fighting career
as a support ship in a task force
for the campaign of Guadalcanal
and Tulagi on August 7, 1912. On
one afternoon a large Jap air at
tack was launched at the task
force with the carrier Enterprise
and the North Carolina as the
principal targets. A heavy anti
aircraft fire was maintained de-
spite the heavy sea, spray, STRAIT
ings and near misses, but one man
was killed by enemy strafing at
tacks.
Soon after. on September Is, 1912,
the North Carolina was struck in
the port bow by a torpedo while
operating on patrol around the
Solomon islands. Five were killed,

was torn in her side.
Upon completion of repairs at
Pearl Harbor, the North Carolina
rejoined the fight to take part in
the eastern Solomons campaign,
the New Georgia operation, Gilbert
islands occupation, the Marshall
islands air strikes, the strike
against Truk, and, with Task Force
SO, supported carriers in the strikes
against Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Pa
lau, zap and Violet. japanese con-
voys, aircraft and naval vessels
were left destroyed in the wake of
each operation.
Following the western New
Guinea campaign and the landings
on the Marianas islands, the North
Carolina returned to the Bremen
ton navy yard for an overhaul,
making it back to the Pacific in
time for the Philippine campaign.
AS part of a carrier task force,
the battleship continued air strikes
against Kwajelein Atoll and Hon
shu with heavy damages inflicted
On enemy shore installations and
shipping in Tokyo bay. Three days
later the battleship supported the
landings on Two Jima, lombard
ing japanese installations.
The Okinawa assault began for
the North Carolina on March 10,
1945, and for nearly six weeks the
ship supported that campaign
while repelling many fierce Jap
Air attacks.
Afte- a run to Pearl Harbor for
repairs, the mighty battleship
again took up the fight and with
the Third fleet, continued the air
strikes against the homeland of
Japan which resulted in untold
damage to the industrial areas and

While packing books the other
day, I came upon a Hebrew
German Siddur (prayer-book).
Inscribed on the flyleaf were the
words "Given to Rabbi Lefko-
WITT by his friends, the Polish
Jewish Officers. And toward
the bottom of the page, stamped
in blue, was the official seal
"Oflag vi B" (Officer Prison
Camp vi b. 1t called to mind
an incident which had occurred
in March, 1915, while we were
triumphantly overrunning the
German defenses east of the
Rhine River.
Near the town of Warburg
(where our command post was
located was one of the first
prisoner of war camps that had
been liberated by American ar
mics. In this were Polish Off
GERS, among them some of Jewish
faith, who had been captured by
the Germans in 1941. Amply
supplied with prayer-books, mez-
zuzahs and more worldly mater
iel, visited the camp. A barb
ed wire fence surrounded an
area in which were about thirty
or thirty-five barracks. One bar
rack was separated from the
others by a wooden fence. AS
customary, I first reported to
the Polish Commanding Officer,
General Leon Berbecki. After
the usual formalities, expressions
of congratulations, affection and
gratitude, all carried on with the
assistance of an Interpreter, I
inquired, just to make converse
ton, as to the cause for the sep
aration of the one barrack from
the others, assuming it to be
hospital ward or a place of de-
tention. "No," the General an
swered, Jewish officers live
there" Astonished, I asked him
if he thought it right for officers
who wore the same uniform,
who fought for the same cause
and who suffered the same pun
ishment at the hands of the en-
envy to be further Disseminated
against by fellow-countrymen.
He emphatically denied any re-
spOnsibility for the condition, as
SCI ling vehemently that the Ger
mans had required it even above
his objections and expressed or
ders. Not only were some of his

best friends Jews but in Poland
many Rabbits had assisted him
in his special field of Army work.
1t was his honest opinion that
people of every religion were on
an equal status; not only was
this his private opinion but the
Polish constitution guaranteed it
as well. My objections to the
wide variance between theory
and practice were brushed off
with the thought that Poland
now and in the near past was
going through the social revolt
ton experienced in other coun-
tries in years gone by. Anti-sem-
itism was one of its manifesto
tions. Officially and in his own
mind it was wrong. No point
could be gained by pursuing the
subject further but I did obtain
from him an order removing the
barrier and permitting all Off
GERS to billet wherever they wish
ed. With an iron handclasp (his)
of friendship, we sealed a new
pact of understanding. A snap
shot was taken immortalizing this
historic moment. Only music
was needed to make it genuine
ly comic opera.
I was introduced to a Lieuten-
ant Mauryzy Berger, the iaison
officer for the Jewish group, who
led me to the barrack where I
met about fifty Jewish officers,
ranging in rank from second
lieutenant to lieutenant colonel,
most of them medical officers:
physicians, dentists and pharma-
cists. It was a joyous meeting
with emotions running high. I
was greeted not only as the per-
sonal representative of the Am
erican Army and of the United
States Government but also as
the leader of the Jewish people.
Each one had something to tell
me, some personal word of
thanks and gratitude, each had
a gift he wished me to take. And
that was when, with appropriate
remarks, they presented me with
the prayerbook they had used
for their devotions during the
long years of imprisonment.
Knowing too well my own in
significance, I distributed my
wares" chocolate, cigarettes,
comfort supp lies, magazines,
prayerbooks leach one of which

be far removed from the path Of
the Maxi tornado when IL was
strong and we were weak. We are
c0nquerors because, by the grace Of

the winners because we did not

everyday living, have we won?
Il IL the right TO know that we
suffer less while most Of the world
suffers more? Is IL the satisfaction
that we conquered In the name OF

a ghetto because his skin Is the
wrong color, or his religion based
upon a philosophy different from
ours? Is IL the right TO break a
strike by Presidential order, or the
privilege to eat less bread so that
there can be more cake and pastry?
We must have won something be-
cause we killed more enemy soldiers
