stopped at Johnston Island on 23 April to top off on fuel, then pro- ceeded to station to patrol off Guam, Tinian, Saipan and adJa- cent islands. The only enemy ships encountered were small pa- trol craft which were not worthy as targets. Lifeguard duties were performed for reconnaissance mis- sions by our aircraft over the Ma rianas but no rescue services were required. The Gabilan then re- turned to Midway for her first reft by the USS Holland during the period 6-29 June.
 From 29 June to IS August the Gabilan was on her second patrol in the waters south of Honshu. Several ship contacts were made but only one night radar contact could be developed into an attack. A three hour chase was necessary to close this single target, which was never seen but ascertained to be destroyer, headed toward To- kyo Bay. The proximity of is- lands and reefs, bright moon and very phosphorescent water made the chase particularly diffi- cult; and the best position obtain able required firing at maximum torpedo range. Nevertheless, submerged approach was made and four 'torpedoes were fired, one of which hit the target, setting off numerous explosions and sinking the target in eight minutes. The Gabilan was credited with sink ing a 17OO ton destroyer.
 The second refit was given by SubDiv 221 at Pearl Harbor from 18 August to 25 September after which the Gabllan departed on her third patrol in the area south of the Empire during the Philip pine Invasion. The first phase of this patrol was spent as a coor- dinated search and attack group consisting of the Besugo, Ronquil and Gabilan, the mission of which was to prevent the undetected sor- tie of major enemy units from Bungo Suido. During this phase an attempt to attack two destroy CTS failed when one target turned directly toward the Gabilan at high speed, forcing her deep. The Gabilan was later detached from the group and ordered to patrol the approaches of Xii Suido. Here the only contact was a 2200 ton
Eastern Connecticut news., 1946-10-12

with a new 5-inch gun in place of the old 4-inch, and loaded to capacity, the Gabilan departed in company with the submarine Hardhead. A stop was made at Onslow, Aust, to top off on fuel.
 The Gabilan's fifth patrol proved to be the most successful one of her career thus far. The Besugo and Charr joined the Gabilan to form a wolf pack to patrol the East Java Sea. A bright moonlit night and large two masted sail- boat gave the 5-inch gun its first chance at real shooting Two hits were sufficient to sink him. The Gabilan, Charr and Besugo spent four days playing tag with a Jap light cruiser and it's three escorts. The Gabilan was disheartened when the CL went by her unes- corted and was unable to close sufficiently to make a submerged attack. However, the following night found the Gabilan on the surface in a position to close the CL. This was done by making flank speed for an hour and a half to get ahead and the submerging on his track. An escort on each flank was his only protection. An unexpected zig forced a down the throat" shot; five torpedoes were fired, the second one hitting the cruiser in the bow and stop ping him. The two escorts dropped depth charges at random, appar- ently to provide diversion while they transferred personnel from the cruiser, and to prevent fur ther attacks. While preparing to make a second attack to finish off the cruiser, three explosions were heard and seen through the peri scope; that was the Charr giving the cruiser the deep six. That night while steaming through a heavy oil slick several miles wide, a thorough search was made for survivors by the Babilan but nothing could be found.
 A second attack was made on three luggers and a small trawler four days later, but their shallow draft caused the three torpedoes
Eastern Connecticut news., 1946-10-12

fired to miss. Three days after that, another contact was made just before sunrise, this time with freighter and three escorts. A periscope approach was made, four torpedoes fired, the first two of which were solid hits on the freighter. The target sank imme- diately and the escorts milled around but never made contact or dropped any depth charges on the CabiIan. The Gabilan opened the range, surfaced and attempted an end around for another attack on the escorts. While making the end around another convoy was con- tacted through the high periScope: this one consisted of two merchant ships and one escort. They looked like juicier target so the initial end around was abandoned. Con- tact was maintained with the new target by periscope and radar un- til after dark at which time the range was closed and the Gabilan submerged for the attack. The es- cort was ahead of the two freigh- ters and was allowed to pass by: the freighters passed in review presenting an overlapping target.

The "shake-down" of the Gab- ilan consisted of extensive train ing in Long Island Sound from 2 Jan.-1 Feb. 1914. Leaving New LoNdon, Conn.,, on 3 Feb, the Gabilan arrived at Key West, Fla, on 10 Feb. where she participated in training exercises for anti-sub- marine units of Key West Sound School until 28 Feb. when she took departure for Balboa, c. z After transitting the Panama Ga nal and arriving at Balboa on 3 March, the Gabilan reported to ComSubPac for duty. 9-23 March was spent en route from Balboa to Pearl Harbor, and 24 March-21 April in voyage repairs and train ing while temporarily attached to SubDiv Al and the USS Bush- nell.
 The first patrol of the Gabilan covered a period of Al days and was spent in the Marianas just prior to the invasion of Saipan. On 21 April she left Pearl Harbor,

PROFIT SHARING
!. PLAN SPREADING

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 6-tR-
Eric A. Johnston, president Of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce and the Motion Picture AS,
sociation of America, explained
today that the profit-sharing plar
inaugurated recently in his Spo'
kane concerns is designed to give
every man chance to take q
chance and shoot for larger gains.'
In telephone interview from
Los Angeles, Johnston said:
"In democratic capitalism, where
the employe participates in man
agement and shares in profits, thai
chance is made possible within q
framework of security for the work
er. Thus the business becomes 9
joint project and the interests Of
owner and worker become one"
Johnston said that since he an
nounced adoption of the program he
has received requests from many
firms and labor unions asking fo1
details.
A statement by the Washington
Brick and Lime company, the
Columbia Electric and Manufactur'
ing company, and the Brown-J ohns
ton company issued here said thai
the point-management and profit
sharing plans were adopted by the
firms after managers had studied
operations Of such plans at Johns
tons request.
The joint-managem plan, the
statement said, is based upon the
multiple management pl 7
adopted by Charles P. Mccormick
in the Mccormick company plan
in Baltimore.
It provides for a junior board O.
directors composed of employe:
and elected after the first grouE
has been appointed by department
workers. The junior board has ac
cess to company books and ma,
submit any suggestions to thu
management which reserves th'
right to veto suggestions it be

ment said, provides a system 0

ON ANNIVERSARY
Retired Episcopal Bishop

anniversary of his conservation as
bishop, the Rt. Rev. Thomas C..
Darst, retired bishop of the Epis-
copal Diocese of East Carolina,
yesterday told the congregation OF
St. James church that ''there are
two doors which the world may
open; one leading to the selfis'- Way
of life, which was responsible for
the last tragic war, the other open,
ing to the road appointed by God
for the attainment of worldwide
peace"

quoted a passage from Revelations.
"Behold, I set before thee an
open door," which he said express
ed the opportunity given to peoples
of the world today to take steps
for everlasting peace
Bishop Darst asked, "1s the
church conscious of its response
bility? Has it the power to direct
this unsettled world?,
s"The world is swinging rapidly
into a democracy tinged with
dangerous radicalism; can true
democracy count on Christian
leadership" he asked. If not.
democracy is doomed" he pre-.
dicted. ,rt-. =
Stressing the imminent neces-
sity of a forceful policy to sue
cessfully prevent fresh outbreak
of bloodshed, he reminded church
goers of Joshua's words to the
Children of, Israel on the eve OF
their passing over into the Promis-
ed Land: Choose you this day
whom you will serve.'' IL,
Bisnop Darst said that God and
the Christian. faith must be fore
most in the hearts of men it an
other worldwide catastrophe is to
be averted.
