ABOARD THE FLAGSHIP OF
JOINT TASK FORCE 7. off In
chon, Korea, Sept. 16-The land
ing at Inchon in a large part is
the story of six brave little ships
and a wonderful blunder.
The North Koreans made the
blunder. The little ships. the big
ones, the planes and finally a
Marine assault force capitalized
on it.
A chain of events started by
those six ships led directly to the
victory of Inchon.
In the entrance to Inchon Har-
Dor, and commanding approaches
to it, is the Island of Wolmi. 1t
is a wooded island shaped like an
oyster shell. From the beaches
the ground rises 800 feet to a
rounded top. A stone causeway
connects the island to the Inchon
waterfront.
Wolmi was the key to the entire
operation. Before the main attack
on Inchon could begin Wolmi had
to be taken. In. an order issued
before the battle Rear Admiral
James H. Doyle, commander OF
Task Force 90, said:
"This mission (WolmD must
be successfully completed at any
cost. Failure will seriously jeop-
ardize or even prevent the major
amphibious assault on Inchon.
Therefore, press the assault with
the utmost bigor despite loss or
difficulty"
A big question loomed-what
did the North Koreans have on
Wolmi to defend it? How many
guns? How big? Where?
Six brave little ships-six de-
stroyers-were sent to find out.
Vice Admiral Arthur D. Struble.
commander of Joint Task Force
II, ordered a reconnaissance in
force"
The mission frankly was to draw
fire from Wolmi-the more fire
the better.
A destroyer's armor is three
eighths of an inch thick. Prac-
tically anything stronger than a
slingshot will pierce it.
On the morning of September
13, ID day minus two" the six
brave little ships, moving in
column, and slowly. sailed into
the narrowing channel leading
past Wolmi to Inchon.
One anchored of the southern
face Of the island. Three passed
through the neck of the channel
to the other side. Two remained
in the channel.
None was more than q mile from

Sitting Ducks.
They were sitting ducks"
That's what they were meant to
be. juicy targets for the concealed
guns on the shore.
From all over the elbow Of the
channel farther down, thousands
of binoculars were trained on them
from the American and British
cruisers and the other ships. The
silence was like a blanket. It was
a brilliantly sunny day and you
could see even without binoculars.
Suddenly there was a single
sharp white fash. Seconds later
the muffled crack of the gun came
back. 1.-The 730 reports she spotted
q battery moving on Shore" a re-
port to the bridge of the flagship
said.
A few more tense, breathless,
incredible seconds OF waiting
passed.
Still silence. Wolmi Island
looked like a picnickers' paradise,
green wooded and serene.
Then the North Koreans made
the fateful and wonderful blunder.
Suddenly necklace Of gun
flashes sparkled around the waist
of the island. The flashes were
reddish gold and they came so fast
that soon the entire slope was
sparkling with pinpoints Of fire.
The destroyers were quick to
answer.
Lightning flashes leaped from
their guns. They hit back. shell
for shell, firing faster and faster
until the whole channel was a
tunnel of rumbling thunder.
The pace increased. On Wolmi,
still more gun positions opened
up. The red necklace spread and
widened. And they were hitting
the destroyers now. They could
hardly miss at that range.
Then a report came down to
the bridge and your blood ran
cold. ut looks as though the 1873
is dead In the water. sir" Ad-
n1iral Struble's answer was quiet
and the words were taut. Make

If the guns on Wolmi Island
had never been discovered, if the
North Koreans had not blundered
into exposing their armament, it
is hard to say what might have
happened to the transports and
the little landing craft when they
came in for the assault two days
later.
At best, the casualties would
have been enormous-for Wolmi
was studded with guns-at worst
the invasion could have stalled
right there at the first objective.
Six brave little ships exposed
themselves to the fire. The big
ger guns and hordes Of planes
knocked it out before the Marines
ever appeared.

sure, and then see what we have
to do to get her out of there"
Slug It Out.
The duel went on for an hour.
It was a slugging match. toe to
toe, and nobody quit or backed
away. Six brave little ships sat
there and shot it out with the
dug-in enemy gun crews on Wolmi
Island.
Three of the six were hit and
one seriously. but not so seriously
she could not come out under her
own steam. An officer died. There
were other casualties.
The mission was accomplished,
successfully the Navy will say.
Gloriously is a better word.

Reporter Was Key
To Freedom OF
Doomed Man
By John E. Rousseau Jr.

By John E. Rousseau Jr.
NEW ORLEANS (ANP)-The
story of the recent freedom of
John Griffin from, false charges
of murder after being imprisoned
10 months without bail is a true
life story Of a reporter who
sought and discovered the facts
behind the facts. The heroic re-
porter was James B. LaFourche,
crack correspondent for the
Louisiana bureau of the Associat-
ed Negro Press.
TT all started a year ago when
one Eugene Brazey was found
dead in a yard about four blocks
from the police station. All that
was known about him was that he
had engaged in a fight or two on
the night of his death and that
he was stabbed to death. Oonly
suspects were Florence Collins, his
common-law wife; Manuel Aug
Justine, her sweetheart, and Cuff
fey Matthews, son of Rosa Mat
thews, mother of Miss Collins.
Police we're stalemated until
the Collins woman positively
identified Griffin as one of two
men she saw fighting with Bra
zey. Police arrested him, got him
to sign a Confession" and had
indicted by the grand jury.
At this point LaFourche en-
tered the case. AS a reporter he
had been following developments
all the time. He noted that police
reports on how Brazey died diff
fered from the coroner's report.
The corners jury ruled that he
had been stabbed Is times with
a weapon leaving pinholes in him
probably an ice pick.
With this as a lead LaFourche
did a bit of sleuthing on his own
a tour of night spots visited by
Griffin and his wife onthe night
of the Staying. He discovered
from one owner that the couple
had stayed in her place most of
the evening and was there at the
time the killing took place. He
also learned that Florence Collins
had travelled three miles to the
home ofthe dead mans sister be-
fore notifying the police of his
although the station was
only four blocks away.
Armed with this vital evidence
La Fourche presented his story to
the district attorney and the

feel in those languages and the
average artist has such a time
pronouncing that he has no time
for Interpretation. The mere pro-
nunciation of some foreign words
of a language, foreign to our
experience may sound fine and
appear classical; but the heart,
out of which music must come if
it touches the heart, is not there.
When our artists reach their
heights in their praiseworthy per-
formances they ordinarily are
dealing with Negro spirituals.
They understand these and feel
these and can interpret these as
they can no other type of music.
This is not arguing for an all
spiritual concert for all Negro
artists. But with a group of folk
songs and ballads and sentiment
al songs to intersperse the weari-
some wading through foreign
music theordinary audience would
be edited and the cause of good
music would be advanced.
The music world is waiting for
a consummate artist who will give
programs of Negro spirituals and
Scotch and Irish and English bal
lads and sentimental songs.
The average patron does not
attend concerts to learn
how music should be rendered,
nor to learn how to render such
music; but most of them like your
humble writer, go to musicals to
hear music that warns the heart.
A prominent Negro minister of
yesteryear once remarked eff you
want to learn how to preach hear
a white man; but if you want to
hear preaching hear a Negro.
The average audience is not parti-
cularly interested in musicianship
that the average musician tries
so hard to evince. Most of our
artists white and Negro seem more
interested in the opinion of the
music critic than in the satisfactc
ion Of their audiences. It is here
contended that the average audi
ence should not be the guinea
pig for the music experts. If music
experts would cater merely to
other music experts, why afflict
a larger audience who must pay
the bill? This attempt at expert
ism is a common and popular
mistake. Why our artists do not
give the average man a break?
We enjoy most what we under
stand best!

invariably conclude their concerts

Often young people are told
what adults expect. Today for
turnabout, tips to parents from
typical sons and daughters are
relayed to herald the start of
Better Parenthood Week. Oc-
tober 8.
Now don't brace yourself for
bitter truth from youth. Most
thinking teen-agers agree with
the current philosophy that prob
ably you are much better parents
than you might think.
Customs change in parent-teen
psychology. Once it was conven-
tional to try to pretend that all
parents were perfect. Then came
the rebellion when parents were
blamed for so many mistakes that
some started losing self conf
dence in their own wisdom. This,
naturally, made troubled young
people feel even more insecure.
In a wing-back, some of to-
days ychologists say that many
parents and teenagers would be
happier in their relationships II
neither aimed for perfection.
Today's young students of psy-
chology can reassure parents this
way:
If by self-test you are doing
your best to be a really good par
ent, it is realistic to realize that
you can make minor mistakes,
and admit them, without tor
menting yourself about being a
poor parent.
Many of today's parents do try
to live up to the following ideals,
conf1ded by young people in Teen
Etiquette polls and other surveys:
1T is better to trust us" one
high school group agreed. 'By
the time we reach senior high, it
should be assumed that we have
reached the reasonable age. From
then on, it Is UP to us to measure
up to what has been taught since
childhood. Distrust might make
us want to defy the rules or fool
suspicious parents. Faith in us
inspires us to set high personal
standards, on our own. in any
social situation"
Young people also ask today's
parents to:
"Tell the truth, without evasive
answers to honest. sensible ques-
tions. If you cannot give out in
formation for some good reason
say so. instead of acting 50
mysterious that you make the
