"The U. S. S. Randolph is a World War II aircraft carrier with an outstanding history. participated in the first and second carrier raids on Tokyo, gave air support and was a part of the carrier force which raided the Japanese mainland.

"The experience of landing on a carrier at sea was a new one for me, and not too relaxing, I'll admit. The airplane seats face backwards so that the sudden stop on the carrier deck does not throw the passenger forward, but allows his back to help brace the impact. As the hook on the airplane caught the arresting gear and the plane came to a stop at about mid-deck, it felt as if the whole airplane would come to pieces. "We were greeted on the deck by Admiral James R. Lee, Commander, Carrier Division Sixteen, in charge of fleet operations on anti-submarine defense in the Atlantic, Captain Harry L.

Harty. Commanding Officer of the and other officers of the ship who took us to our quarters several decks donw. "That evening, Admiral Lee had a dinner for the senior officers and us, and we were shown night landing operations and catapult launchings. "At 5:30 the next morning we were on deck to witness tanker refueling at sea. It's a very interesting procedure, A seaman holding a gun which looks like a shotgun shot a pellet from the carrier to the tanker.

A light, rope was attached to the pellet, and a heavy rope to the light rope. After making fast, refueling hoses were conveyed across on pulleys. The operation took about 15 minutes. When the pumping of high octane gas began, the word 'alpha' was broadcast, as signal for all hands to cease smoking. "Something occurred a short time later which is an illustration of the delicacy of I he refueling operation.

As Mr. Watson and I sat having coffee with the petty officers below, we fell a tremendous lurch. We learned that a huge wave had nearly washed the vessels, carrier and tanker, together. An emergency breakaway was ordered, and heavy ses made further refueling out of the question. "We had breakfast with officers and lunch with enlisted mer.

from our respective states. "During the morning hours, wr were given a confidential briefing on the Atlantic fleet operations and an inspection of air- aboard. "During our inspection of the carrier, we visited the boile: room, where the temperature is about 150 degrees. I feel that the men who work with the boilers should be given every consideration with regard to extra duty pay. "No planes had taken off dur ing the morning becasue of the heavy seas and ours was the first flight of the day to leave the deck.

We took off with about 350 to 400 feet of deck space, aided by a 45 mile an hour wind, with carrier speed of 15 knots per hour. "I feel that this visit was an extremely valuable one for me. The sea as a highway for arms and supplies is an important fac lor in Communist expansion into new continents, and the aircraft carrier is more and more essential to free world froces. I am grateful to have had a first-hand look at this unit of our sea power. New York Baltimore Chicago Minnesota Boston Cleveland Kansas City Los Angeles Detroit Washington NATIONAL Los Angeles St.
