It was not, however, a retreat. It was only a temporary lull in. battle-for the men came home to take over a new carrier, Lexing- ton II. We didn't, of course, know this the night of May 8 as we watched the old ship sink, hissing clouds of steam as the cherry red plates of its flam- ing hull slid beneath the long Paci- fic Ocean swells but next morning Capt. Fred Sherman-now Rear Ad- miral Sherman-called together the 800 of us who had gathered on a smart new cruiser. "Men, I've got news for you," he said. "I've asked, the Navy Depart- ment to hold us all together as one crew and to put us aboard a brand new aircraft carrier. And I have recommended that this new carrier be called the Lexington II, so that we can carry on together right from here." The captain's announcement was drowned by cheers. A strong bond is knit among men who face danger and death together and come through gallantly. This bond exists among the officers and men of the Lexington today. The superb old carrier, you will remember, was sunk finally by tor- pedoes fired from an American de- stroyer as her hulk blazed on the Coral Sea waters. WOUNDED TRANSFERRED But by that time we had trans- ferred our wounded men to several ships and the men sound of wind and limb of the Lexington's comple- ment had made their own different ways to the vessels in our task force. There was no attempt that night to apportion the men evenly, among the flotilla. The first job was to get them safely on some ship, and then get the whole fleet moving once more. All during those rescue operations our destroyers circled around us like so many hungry dogs with their submarine listening devices fully manned. And from the decks of the second carrier in our force- planes- were constantly taking off and land- ing, engaging in a hunt through hand line, a total of 210 men was the skies.

All, that is, except the scribbled pencil exclamations I had hentracked in a tiny pocket notebook while watching from the bridge during the attack. My watch, my money, my clothing, my typewriter, my valuable tooth paste tube--six weeks later in Wash- ington, D.C., when I tried to buy a tube of paste I was refused one be- cause I couldn't produce the old tube -and. my favorite straight razor had gone down. NAVY USES REPORT After I was aboard the cruiser the first place I went was the laundry. There, gathered with hundreds of other men I stripped off my clothing and dried myself. The garments were dried in the quick-drying ma- chine. I salvaged the sodden note- book and the odd pages that had come unstuck from the water and put them through the hot mangle. To my delight the pages dried fairly smoothly and the pencil tracks still were legible. This practically saved my story for me. While thous- ands of details were remembered viv- idly, I needed those notes to ascer- tain the correct timing for the vari- ous events in the battle as observed from the Lexington's bridge. Later they were valuable for the Navy too, for they went into Captain Sher- man's and Rear Admiral Aubrey W. Fitch's reports. (Admiral Fitch was commander of the Lexington's sec- tion of the two carrier task force.) By the time I got down to the ward room most of the other Lex- ingtonians had finished their din- ners. The result was that I got a grand round of mingled cheers and boos-the sort of ribbing that every one took that night. It was good to hear-for these men were my ship- mates too, and I was damned proud of every one of them. Our flotilla was heading south at a fast clip and we all thought that we were bound for Sydney, Australia. All of us were delighted over the pros- pect, particularly me, for Sydney was my home for many years. But on the third day we changed course and went into an important island harbor that may not be named.' GUNWALES WALLOWING During this time we had done some transfering of men from over-crowd- ed ships. Some of the destroyers had as many as 400 Lexington me'n aboard, in addition to their full war crews of 150, and literally were wal- lowing with gunwales under. These transfers were thrilling to see. Two ships would steam parallel courses near each other. A line would be rigged from the masts of one to those of the other and a can- vas mail bag would be put on a pul- ley. Two men at a time were stuffed into the bags, standing up to their waists in the bag, and then hauled across the intervening water by a leave, United States Soldiers and Marines. The natives, who seldom had seen white men before, had been moved right back into the jungle leaving their seaside towns to these throngs of restless whites. NATIVES KNQW MAZAUMA While there we found that the Pacific island native is as quick to understand the principles of trade as the native of Manhattan. Supply and demand certainly ruled here. Even the grass mats and rugs that once were sold for a copper or two cost "one-two dollah," we found. The black men and women in the market place had only this price level, no matter how trivial the object. In the harbor I spied a beautiful new Dutch freighter-transport and because I had lived in Amsterdam in 1940, I had myself rowed out. Quickly making friends with the cap- tain I obtained a much needed drnk of whisky-all American Naval ves- sels are bone dry-and managed to wrangle from the captain an invita- tion for half a dozen of my friends, to take dinner with him. It was a typical Dutch meal-we stuffed our- selves to the gills and poured down our parched throats nectars of Hol- land. Our final toasts, "to the Unit- ed Nations" were in champagne. All of us embarked for home at this port and our wounded, some 160 men and officers, went to the well equipped hospitals on these craft. Fourteen cases, however, were so serious that they were taken aboard the hospital ship, solace, which re- mained behind when we left. By HALE CHAMPION tFrom Associated Press Summaries) A week ago sports- writers had given up the ghost as far as a race in the American League was con- cerned. They lamented the fact that baseball writers covering the Yanks were compelled to play up statistics for reader interest-and for contrast they pointed to a tightening National League pennant chase. Now a sudden turn in baseball for- tunes has the once dauntless world champions with a half-game less lead over the Boston Red Sox than Brooklyn's effervescent Dodgers have over their old rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. Brooklyn smacked down the Cards for the third straight time yester- day, 10 to 4, while Marse Joe Mc- Carthy's boys took it on the chin for the fourth successive day.

Hale America Led By Hogan, Mike Turnesa CHICAGO, June 20.--P)-Tiny Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa,in a dogged challenge, came from behind today to tie Mike Turnesa for the 54-hole lead in the Hale America National Open Golf Tournament at Ridgemoor Country Club with a to- tal of 203. The Texas-born Hogan, leading money winner among the profes- sionals for the past three years, led Turnesa, the White Plains, N. Y., pro, by a single shot going to the 18th, but there he was unlucky enough to drive his iron tee shot into a trap at the left of the green. His second was barely on the edge of the carpet, 13 feet short of the cup and he took two putts to hole out for a bogey 4-the first time he had gone over par in 36 holes. Turnesa started today's 18-hole third round with a three-stroke lead, in his 131 total, but the heavy con- ditions of the fairways, and soggy greens slowed him down to a 38-34- 72, even par. Hogan was not both- ered by the weather, however, and posted a 33-36-69. Thus, it appeared certain that Turnesa and Texas Ben would battle it out in the final 18 holes tomorrow. They may face serious opposition from Jimmy Demaret of Detroit who scored a 35-34-69 for 205; Lawson Little of Monterey, Calif., with a 35-36-71 for 206, and Horton Smith, Pinehurst, N. C., veteran, with 36-35 -71, for a 206.
