Chancellor Commander Len workin OBITUARY Code-talker Gorman NEW YORK Carl Gorman, a gentle Navajo artist who talked his way valiantly through some of the fiercest fighting of World War II, died on Thursday at a hospital in Gallup, N.M. He was and the oldest of the 400 Navajo who were proud to cod call themselves Washindon be Akalh B-kosi-lai, or, as the Japanese could never figure out, U.S. Marines. The father of the celebrated Navajo artist R.C.

Gorman of Taos, N.M., Gorman was himself a prominent artist who taught at the University of California at Davis before settling in a trailer-studio in Fort Defiance, where he painted horses and other subjects. But it was not because of his art that a bust of Gorman was erected on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. It was because from Guadalcanal to Saipan, with a hot stop on Tarawa along the way, Gorman spent much of World War II in the Pacific on his belly at the front lines, a radio rather than a rifle in his hands, just as other Navajo volunteers did, making sure that the vaunted Japanese code -crackers, who broke the army, navy, and air corps codes, would never learn anything from intercepted Marine radio messages. And they didn't. By the time the Marines began their island Pacific sweep, with the invasion of Guadalcanal in August 1942, Gorman New York Times and 28 other Navajo volunteers had turned their native language into a deadly secret weapon: a Navajo based code that allowed Marine commanders to issue orders, report on their own and enemy troop movements, and coordinate complex operations, secure in the knowledge that Japanese codebreakers would not have the foggiest idea what all the guttural chatter was about.

Navajo is a language without an al: phabet and with such a complex, irregular syntax that in 1942 it was estimated that outside of the 50,000 Navajos, no more than 30 other people in the world had any knowledge of it, none of them Japanese. Partly because Navajo lacked words for most modern military terms, Gorman and his colleagues worked out a two-tier code in which English words were represented by different Navajo words. Various kinds of planes, for example, were represented by Navajo words for birds, among them taschizzie, or swallow, for torpedo plane; jay-sho, or buzzard, for bomber; and da-he-tih-hi, or humming bird, for a fighter plane. As a result, when the Japanese fig. ured out that Marine radio operators were speaking Navajo and tried to torture a captured Navajo soldier unfamiliar with the code into translating messages, he was as much in the dark as his Japanese captors.

He could tell them that chay-da-gahi meant turtle, but he had know idea that turtle meant tank. THE ACES ON BRIDGE BY BOBBY WOLFF tion, you can be assured that game will Dear Mr. Wolff: not have good chances. At duplicate, we were vulnerable vs. nonvulnerable.
