Marine General Recalls Bloody Clash On Tarawa i Weather Stock Quotations FRED S. HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) After 20 years, Marine Gen. David M. Shoup still relives the blood drenched Battle of Tarawa -all but a few vital seconds that remain a blank in his mind. Those were the seconds it took Shoup to dash about 40 yards across bullet and mortar swept coral sand to the shelter of blockhouse wall.

From there, the man who was to become commandment of the Marine Corps directed the savage assault on the tiny Central Pacific island which Japan had converted into a fortress. thret-day battle, which began at dawn just 20 years ago today, was the most costly brief engagement in Marine history. When it was over, 990 Marines were dead--many shot down before they could wade ashore from disabled or stranded landing craft. Another 2,311 Leathernecks were wounded. Only 18 of the 4,800 man Japanese garrison lived to be captured.

The rest were slain in their bunkers, or killed themselves rather than surrender. Shoup, 58, has good reason to remember Tarawa he won the Medal of Honor there. The citation said this: "Although severely shocked by an exploding enemy shell soon after landing and suffering from a serious, painful leg wound which had become infected, Col. Shoup fearlessly exposed himself to the terrific and relentless artillery, ma- chinegun and rifle fire. "Rallying his hesitant troops he gallantly led them across the fringing reefs to charge the heavily fortified island and reinforce our hard pressed, thinly held lines.

Graying but still rugged-looking, Shoup reminisced about the battle as he sat in his big, memento cluttered office at Marine, headquarters. "It's as clear as though it was yesterday," Shoup told an interviewer in accents that reflected his Indiana birth. "But there's period of several seconds that's been a blank all these years. "I remember looking over a cocoanut log barrier and picking the route I would take. I remember reaching the blockhouse with my radio man.

Shoup had crouched behind the log barrier after wading several hundred yards through shallow water churned by bullets and exploding shells. Like many of his men, Shoup started walking toward shore when his amphibious tractor was knocked out. His amtrack's driver was picked off.

The colonel clasped his hands with a Marine corporal and began pushing his way along the shallow reef. "I felt his grip tighten, and I looked around at him," Shoup said. "A sniper had put a bullet between his eyes." Shoup was silent a moment, then went on: "I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't turned to look at him." For just then, another bullet fired by a Japanese sniper struck the water, spent its force and slammed into Shoup's neck. If it had hit him in the face, Shoup believes he would have been killed. Instead, he escaped with a badly swollen neck.

In all, Shoup was struck in nine different places. Most the wounds were nicks, he said. Tonight, as on all other anniversaries of the battle, Shoup will get together with a group of its survivors. They will gather at the commandant's home for the last time before he retires Dec. 31, ending a 37 year career with the corps.
