Theores "I was on church liberty, Dec. 7, 1941, when the noise started on Hicam Field, Pearl Harbor," Robert McDermott, member of the V-12 program, said yesterday. "An Army truck gave me a ride back to the base and there the work began. We organized a fire com- pany immediately and started put- ting out the fires that had started all over the base and then got our defenses o anized. We were right next to the spot where the bombs fell," he said. McDermott spent three or four months at the base after the Decem- ber incident, then boarded a sub- chaser and started off for the South Pacific. "We joined a convoy fleet and vis- ited Midway, Christmas Island, How- land, and Canton," he said. "At Canton Island we got in on a little more bombing. Jap ships unloaded their lead a couple of times but all they managed to kill was a dog on the island. Our ship wasn't hit. "About 300 miles southwest of Midway we picked up the echo of a' Jap sub one afternoon. We chased it around for a half hour and had apparently lost it. About 2 a.m. the next morning it crossed our beam again. This time it was too close for comfort--its comfort. We dropped every charge we had on it and all of us feel we sent it down. We couldn't find a trace of it after that. "Last Christmas Eve we got in a -little more fighting-but this time it *.. . Cadets at the .S. Military Academy pass in review before Gen.

FORBES Judge Advocate General's School Consequences of martial law in the Territory of Hawaii following the "sneak" bombing of Pearl Harbor were related by Brig.-Gen. Thomas H. Green,. Assistant Judge Advocate General of the Army, on his recent visit tothe.Judge Advocate General's School. Gen. Green was executive officer to the military governor for a period of 20 months after the first attack. Martial Law Necessary Almost immediately after the bombing it was determined that martial law was the only means of coping with the emergency and a military, governor was appointed. "One of the difficulties in the situa- tion was, and is, the mixed popula- tion," Gen. Green said. "About one third are Japanese or of Japanese descent of varying de- grees of loyalty, another third of the population is composed of a mixture of Filipino, Chinese, Puerto Rican, and natives of south sea tribes and combinations thereof. Whites make up the other third. It was hard to keep the other two thirds away from the Japs." Schools Were Closed As is the usual case in the estab- lishment of martial law, schools were closed, courts were suspended and movement restricted. Suspending op- eration of the courts was done as much to protect the Japanese on the islands as anything else. Any rights they might have, had would have been impossible to guarantee in a jury trial where members of the other portions of the population were triers of the facts. In the 16 months following Pearl Harbor 50,000 cases were tried by the provost courts, military tribunals operating under the supervision of the military governor,without a sus- picion of' fraud or injustice. Provost judges were Army officers appointed by the governor, assisted by civil judges of the islands in a purely ad- Visory capacity. Immediate Trials Adopted Provision was made for immediate trial of all offenders of military reg- ulations and a workable system of appeals adopted. Appeal - was pos-, sible in a formal written manner or Ifs to,4 JAGs by informal oral application in per- son or by telephone. Excessive sen- tences were decreased on appeal if circumstances warranted, and in case of doubt, rehearings were or- dered. At the present time, martial law is not as restrictive as when it first was declared. Right of trial by jury in civil cases was restored recently. One of the dangers of invasion is that the invaders will seize all cur- rency. In the Philippines and in Singapore the conquering Japanese were able to make easy money this way, but as a result of Gen. Green's plan, the possibility of such an oc- currence in Hawaii was removed in a few days. Knowing that the Chinese habit- ually kept their money and securities buried in the ground in their distrust of banks, Gen. Green had an order issued making it illegal to possess more than $200, with certain excep- tions for business upon license. Max- imum penalty for violation was five years' imprisonment and $5,000 fine. Had the enemy appeared after the money was collected, there would have been none to fall into his hands. Fitch Will Speak Herem on China Industrial Cooperatives To Be Subject of Talk Mr. George M. Fitch, secretary of the foreign YMCA International Set- tlement in Shanghai, will speak on "Chinese Industrial Cooperatives" at 4:15 p.m. Monday in the Rackham Amphitheatre. Mr. Fitch, who was born in Soo- chow, China, has' taken part in all American and international move- ments in China during recent years. He was at Nanking when the Jap- anese seized the city, and organized the refugee zone there which har- bored many thousands of civilians during that time. Since the capture of Nanking and the withdrawal of the state depart- ment to Chungking, Mr. Fitch has been connected with the Chinese in- dustrial cooperatives. He has travel- led extensively through northwest China and will describe the epochal developments which are taking place there. Mr. Fitch arrived in the United States in February on a leave of absence and has been touring the country giving lectures. was with an 80-mile gale-and quite a new experience for me," McDer- mott said. "We were on our way to Midway from Honolulu. Our ship rolled side- ways to an angle of 56 or 58 degrees, a record, I think. Because our ship was wooden there wasn't too much danger of sinking," he said. "My orders to report to school here came when we were in the South Pacific. I caught a ride back on a convoy," McDermott said.

' n4 I OPA Fills Empty Tank Of Bomber GRAND RAPIDS, July 20-(YP)- Even military bomber crews have their troubles with gasoline ration- ing. An American-made B-25 bomber attached to the Royal Dutch Air Force arrived in Grand Rapids today to take civic leaders of Grand Rapids and Holland, Mich., on brief flights. When the big ship landed, it had only 10 gallons of gasoline left in its tanks, according to Thomas Walsh, manager of the Kent County Airport -and no priorities for more. A hurried call to Washington Of- fice of Price Administration head- quarters was made to release 300 gal- lons of high octane fuel for the plane, and the dignitaries got their airplane ride.
