Hold Reunion With Parents After Being Apart 20 Months;
Navy Man Relates Thrilling Experiences in
African Invasion

Two brothers, both lieutenants
in separate branches of service,
met after 20 months apart
when Lt. (j.g.) Joseph Stone of
the Navy and Lt. Edward Stone
of the Army Air Force were re-
cently home with their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Stone of 2650
Webb Ave.
Lt. (j.g.) Joseph Stone re-
turned after serving 17 months
in the British Isles aboard a com-
bat transport and taking part in
the original landings in the Al-
giers and North African cam-
paigns. He survived 190 bomb-
ing attacks and the boat he was
on was torpedoed.

First Experience
When he experienced his first
torpedoing, he was in charge of
an anti-aircraft crew. "The time
was 5:30 a. m.", Joe recalls, "and
it was just getting light when
we heard the roar of a plane and
saw the bomb drop about 1,500
yards away. Eighty-five seconds
later, I saw the wake of a tor-
pedo headed toward us and we
tried to turn in the same direc-
tion, but our speed was not suf-
ficient and we were hit. I was
thrown from the ladder, leading
up to the gun platform, to the
deck below. Although the ship
was crippled, we remained afloat
for four and a half days in the
Mediterranean, fighting planes
and subs. Two British ships final-
ly came to our assistance and
escorted us to port."
March 29, 1943, was the 25th
wedding anniversary of Mr. and
Mrs. Stone, and Joe celebrated
it by giving a command for the
blast that shot down two enemy
planes. He was in charge of the
ship, at the time, as officer of
the deck.

Jews Aided Invasion
Speaking of the Jewish popu-
lation in North Africa, Joe re-
lates: "It is to the eternal credit
of the Jew that the underground,
movement in Algiers, which
made the Allied landings com-
paratively easy, was made up
largely of Jewish people."
He attended services in the na-
tive synagogues and was given
"plenty" of Jewish meals. The
girls there, he said, are very
lovely and hospitable, "but when
you court the daughter, you
court the whole family. The fa-
thers and mothers have to be
with them."
Arriving back in this country,
Joe was quick to notice the air
of complacency among the Amer-
ican people: He said:
"Personally, I don't resent this
at all since I know that over-
seas no one is being deprived of
their necessities. My only resent-
ment goes to the fact that the
folks at home have failed to
couple with this God-given en-
joyment of life, a consciousness
of their responsibilities to the
men overseas, to their country
and to themselves."
Passed State Bar
Lt. (j.g.) Stone is a graduate
of Central High School, Wayne
University and University of
Michigan Law School, and has
passed the bar. He has been in
service two and a-half years and
was stationed at Notre Dame
and Northwestern University
before going overseas. His legal
