All we saw were Japanese planes," said Rear Ad- miral Thomas L. Gatch, Judge Ad- vocate General of the Navy and com- mander of the famous "Battleship X" recently revealed as the USS South Dakota. Admiral Gatch, who spoke, at the Judge Advocate General's School yes- terday, also commanded the ship in the Battle of Guadalcanal in Novem- ber, 1942, and as a result of his con- duct in these actions was awarded the Navy Cross, and the Gold Star in lieu of a second Navy Cross. Admiral Gatch indicated his opin- ion, based upon his experiences in these struggles, that a modern bat- tleship can well take care of itself against a goodly number of enemy planes by throwing up such a screen of steel that planescannot pene- trate. In the first battle, the USS South Dakota fired 50,000 rounds of ammunition against enemy planes in 25 minutes. "This is the only way to stop planes," he said. Thirty-two en- emy planes and dive bombers were shot down. Resuming command of his ship for the Battle of Guadalcanal despite severe wounds suffered at Santa Cruz, Admiral Gatch used the radar device to follow the approach of the unsuspecting enemy, and opened fire at eight miles. "My eyes were not able to see evidence of the Japs until we fired and then their leadinig heavy cruiser burst into flames." The ene- my never knew what hit them and were not in battle formation. Although the Japs were not using a radar device in those battles it is' probable that they have now received aid from the Nazis of a similar de- vice which they may now be employ- ing. per cent of the crew of the; USS South Dakota had not been to sea in March, 1942, when he took charge, but that after intensive gunnery training, he] was able to boast or the crew's marksmanship and thereby obtain a South Pacific assignment. Admiral Gatch remarked to one member of the crew, "If you've never crossed the equator, you've something coming," and in thirty seconds all hands knew that the destination was the South Pacific. In response to questions, Admiral Gatch outlined briefly the court mar- tial system of of the Navy. Admiral Gatch is a graduate of the United States Naval Acadmey, and has served continuously since graduation in 1912, with tours of du- ty in the Judge Advocate General's Office interspersing tours of sea du- ty. He holds a law degree from George Washington University Law School, Washington, D.C.

This group includes transfer stu- dents from other colleges, regular en- listed personnel and a' number of men who have just completed their high school programs. Last semester 23 naval medical students graduated. All but two of these men will serve civilian intern- ships. This semester approximately 1300 [1ROTC cadets, bluejackets and ma- rines will be living in the West Quad- rangle. In addition to these men, 80 naval architects are stationed on campus. All of these men are com- missioned officers. The men in the V-12 program are classed as apprentice seamen. They will wear their undress blues on cam- pus this semester with their pea coats and blue hats. The dress uni- forms with the white braid and stars on the collars can be worn only on week-end liberty. The neckerchiefs are worn with the undress uniforms after mess in the evening and are al- ways worn with the dress uniforms.

Approximately 25 men arrived here yesterday. These include regular en- listed personnel, transfer students from Ohio University, Colorado Uni- versity and other colleges and fresh- men who have just completed their high school programs. These men will fill the vacancies left by 40 marines who left last week for OCS at Paris Island and 30 ma- rines who left yesterday for San Di- ego having been transferred there for boot training and active duty. The marines will wear the forest green uniform which is the official enlisted man's dress uniform. They will wear their khaki field jackets to classes. The marine uniforms are forest green while the army uniforms are olive drab. Their uniforms can be distin- guished from the army uniforms by the fact that they wear their ties out, have no hib pockets and wear the marine emblem on their overseas cap and on their blouse. This emblem consists of a globe and fouled anchor with an eagle on top. In order to be sent to school under this program, marines must meet cer- tain educational requirements, be be- tween 18 and 25 years old and be re- commended by their company com.- rnander. Many of the men in the pro- gram formerly held ratings as high as staff sergeants, but were reduced to privates when they entered this program. Marines taking engineering cours- es are allowed four years of college. Non-engineering students are given a minimum of two years. In order to remain in the program, they must maintain regular university stand- ards. Marines are sent from. here .to OCS at Paris Island. Upon gradu- ation from there, they are commis- sioned as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps.

The purpose of the tour was to give the men a chance to inspect the construction of material supplied to the Navy. All the men in the group have permanent commissions with rating between ensigns and senior lieutenants. The men, who are members of the Reserve Officers Naval Architect group, are training here preparatory to active duty in naval architecture. They are primarily graduate engi- neers and architects. The men came to Ann Arbor on June 22, 1943 from navy yards, sea duty and indoctrination centers. The men are being trained as ship super- intendents and will be sent from here to shipyards were they will act as liaison officers between the ship's force and the navy yard staff. They will be in charge of all repair work done on the ships when they come into the yard. The men are carrying 26 hours of classroom work and four hours of PEM a week. In addition to this they average 21 hours a week of voluntary study. They study such subjects as naval architecture, war- ship design, strength of material, metallurgy, mathematics and naval engineering. They have to maintain a "c" average in order to remain in the school.
