Johnston in his preceding stories told of the preliminary American fleet maneuvers, the destructive air pounding of Jap ships in Tulagi harbor, the Jap attack on the Lexington and its brave defense, the blasting of two Jap carriers. In the following story Johnston relates the marvelous adventures of American airmen from the time they werej shot down in the. battle until they were rescued.

How did they feel after war was declared? "We were crying for action," Paul says. He told how they got it on February 10 when Lieut. Comdr. Edward stationed on the Lexington, sho.t down five or six Japanese planes in a dogfight. Attacks Their next encounters came when the ship made two attacks on the- island of New Guinea.

The next battle was the Coral sea engagement. Paul tells of their sinking a Japanese aircraft carrier and damaging another in the battle on May 7. The" Sioux City sailor also recounts how, on- the night of May 7, two Japanese Zero fighters, mistaking the Lexington for their own ship, tried to land on her decks. i Paul also told of the Japanese fighters and how the -pilot of one twin motored bomber tried to crash his load of explosives into the Lexington. "They're not afraid to die and they fly good planes," Paul said of the enemy.

In Meuleveld's opinion, the tide has turnedin the battle of the Pacific. "They can't do what they want to any more," he commented. Likes Carriers His faith -in the airplane carrier WEEK.

Paul's twin brother Jacob also is in the navy. After completing his first enlistment he reenlisted last spring. Paul has seen him only twice in the last year, ore when he was home during his first leave a year ago. Aftother time the two brothers met at Pearl harbor. Mother Is Proud When Paul goes back to San Diego later in the month, he hopes' to be assigned to another airplane carrier.

"They're so big. You stand on the deck and it's just like a big football field," he says. Paul's mother is proud of him. She is worried that he has lost 20 pounds in the las few months. Mainly she is worried that Paul won't tell her what he wants to eat while he is home.

After tossing all night with the craft and becoming seasick while drifting, they off and flew to Rossel. "Rossel is the last island to the east in the McGowan said. "It's about 20 miles long by 10 wide. I remembered having read how a chief once had ruled here. A French ship bound from Hongkong to Sydney was wrecked on the reefs bordering the island and 327 Chinese were left ashore by the captain who sailed a small boat to New Caledonia to bring assistance.

''History relates that Mooyo put the unfortunate Chinese on a sand spit and provided them with water and ood but he a habit of seizing two or three captives each time he held a feast for his tribes. Those seized were killed and cooked up into tasty long Tom the native slang for human steaks. When the captain got back with his as sistance all but one of the Chinese had beeneaten, "It was with this memory that I taxied toward the shore line. We beached the plane on a sand shoal 50 yards off the beach when we saw about 30 natives come dashing out of the brush. We had our automatics and free machine gun (each navy plane carries a small caliber submarine gun for use in such landings emergencies) and waited watchfully.

"They were wearing 1 bone through noses and ears, with very bushy hair and a high comb as' a headdress, and a sort of kneeling skirt. And all of them looked very strong and energetic. About the time I was deciding they might be dangerous their leader, a particularly ugly gent with bright tatoos on his body, called out 'Hello, air-men." of course, flabbergasted McGowan and Miller, but relieved them of anxiety too. They came ashore, had the natives carry their equipment, including their submachine gun, flares, ammunition, charts, and codes, up to a mission house that the leader, one Mungi by name, told them was near by. There the missionary, a native named Satepan, gave them a good dinner cpnsisting of boiled chicken, boiled yams, fried pumpkin, -ripe bananas, and water.

McGowan said it reminded him of a typical banquet dinner at home. i Produces Map "After dinner, I asked him (Satepan) if he had map. I. was astounded to see -him produce an upper air chart for the southern Pacific United navy "hydrographic publication," said Mc Gowan, his eyes going round as he recalled the amazement he had felt at the time. "You can't possibly guess where Satepan- got that map.

He got it by way of a bottle. Yes, Really. He'd found a bottle on the beach one day with a note in Enelish in it It had been dropped into the ocean thousands of miles from there by some American hydro- grapher. Satepan sent this man a letter, telling him where he found the bottle and the hydrographer sent him back the map as thanks. "Just think of it! I'd been prepared to battle cannibals, but instead got a good dinner and 'a wonderful map." McGowan and Miller returned to their plane the next day and spent the daylight hours listening to news broadcasts from Sydney, Australia, but were unable to raise any united nations forces on their own transmitter Meanwhile they also stripped down the airplane, taking all the gear possible, the compass and clocks.

At that time they had in mind the possibility of making a sea trip to New Guinea in a native boat but fortunately never tried it. i The second afternoon, McGowan said, was spent bathing in a creek near Satepan's mission with the same supposed cannibals with whom he had been ready, to do battle. Discussions with them over possibilities of getting out of the predicament the young ensign recalled, about this pattern: Chicken Dinner 1. He would ask a question in English, addressing Mungi. It would be a simple question such as: "Could we kill a chicken for dinner tonight?" 2.

Mungo would turn to the oth ers, deliver a brief 4 exhortation, and then pause dramatically. In stantly there would be a tremendous uproar from the 25 or 30 native men gather round. Some would frown, and shout. Others would wave their hands wildly while talking at the tops of then-voices. This wouldiMTontinue for perhaps a minute or two.

3. Suddenly there would be a silence, Mungi would turn back and, in English, reply: Yes "I "always wondered what in the world they all found to say on such unimportant matters as we brought' grinned McGowan in recalling the scenes. On March 13, while on the way to look at a native canoe they were considering the chances of making a voyage to the island of Misima where two Americans were supposed to be operating a gold mine they were met by. a native boy who said that four very large airplanes had landed on the t)ther side of the island "We thought this was just' a tall tale told in hope of gaining a present," McGowan said. "But later we were told by a second na tive exactly the same story.

This time the planes were described as exactly like our own. I became practically sure the planes were from some United States cruiser especially when the natives de scribed their wing insignia. So I wrote a note to the crews. i It so hoppened that the four planes were from American cruis ers. Their crews consisted of lire.

"We opened one of purj para chutes and, using the cloth to screen the maze irom sea, we sent Morse code the ensign said. "Soon one of our destroyers was edging cautiously Into the bay and launching a power' boat." "Trying to destroy i our planes was a tough job. We machine- gunned our planes trying to ignite the fuel tanks, but they were dry," the ensign said. Finally we stripped the radio, other gear, and smashed instruments -with rocks. We took the breach mechanisms out of6ur machineguns and carried them off, and finally with all our remaining ammunition, shot up the planes.

"We were satisfied that the Japanese could find nothing in them of value, and, we freely "gave the wrecks to the natives who were overjoyed. The metal in the planes would be saved, every scrap, and used for knives, hooks, spearheads, and other purposes. It was a treasure trove for them and we knew the tides would, soon wreck anything they left." The airmen had quite a time getting through the heavy surf to the destroyer but finally madeit. Lieut. Ewoldt dropped his airplane "25 miles away and was not picked up until days later by Australian fliers who were covering those islands in daily reconnaissance patrpls.

Lieut. J. Quigley and his gunner, whose dive bombing plane was damaged by Japanese, antiaircraft fire on May 7, landed on Rossel island that afternoon. The natives, having been visited by a score of American and Australian airmen! only a month earlier, were extremely hospitable to these two Quigley's radio report that he was alighting on Rossel closed with the words: "We're going to do some beachcombing for a few days." Guest of Tepi Instead qf sleeping amid the mosquitoes on the beach he was made the guest of Tepi, the house boy of a planter named Osborne who had been the only white man living on the island. Osborne had fled ahead of the war but had left orders that his house be used by airmen if they alighted there.

Tepi had clean white sheets on the beds, cool drinks, and hearty meals for Quigley and his gunner when they were brought to Osborne's house by other Again the Australians, came to the rescue in their, patrol planes, and We learned later that "Quig" was safe in Australia. There have been so many wonderful stories of rescues of airmen downed in these waters that fam-iliesand friends of our fliers who are reported missing in action out there Should never give up hope for the safety of. their loved ones. At the moment, the war is in a stage Where inevitably there is the greatest confusion 'in reports. Men who may be safe enough on some of the thousands of islands that dot these seas are not always rescued as promptly as the pilots of whom I have known.

In any case rest assured; "The navy is trying to find its men. It never lets a man go if there is to save him." CONTINUE TRIAL UNTIL MONDAY Hammerquist Finishes Testimony for Defense Aberdeen, S. D. Special: The cross examination of Land Com missioner Earl Hammerquist following his assertion lhill T. Burns, Aberdeen bond broker, "never gave me any money in my life" will be continued Monday, when the official's trial for making profits out of state" funds is resumed.

Hammerquist finished his testimony for the defense late Friday and underwent a grilling from prosecutor E. D. Barroa after two witnesses for the defense were put on the stand out of order. The defendant's counsel called Miss Anne Doyle, Pierre hotel employe, to refute testimony by Bums that the treasurer, G. Douglas, and Hammerquist returned from a deer hunting camp in the Black Hills about 1 a.

m. November 18, 1940, and the three went to the state house in Pierre at that hour to dictate a resolution selling registered bonds in an $810,000. deal. Miss Doyle said the records showed Burns registered at 11:15 p. m.

November 17 The defense also called Robert Hammerquist, son of the defendant to testify that he never had met Burns and answered the state's testimony that Burns ate breakfast at the Hammerquist home when several of the eight children were at home. Robert is a student at. the University of South Dakota and taking officers training. Twins Enlist New York CO Since they both were born, on November 16, 1801, the careers of Harold L. and William I.

Each is single. Each averai about a year income. So it, was natural Friday for them to enlist and be sworn in to the United States coast guard as chief DpatswanVs mates. Little Grenada shipped pounds of cocoa to the United States last year. MODEST, tired, but quietly A confident sailor boy who parries a shocking, realistic tale of modern sea warfare, who has seen more action in the last few months than most people see in a lifetime and who was rec-om ended for comniendation for courage during the Coral sea battle, is back home in his' native Sioux City.

A talk with third class seaman Paul Meuleveld, now visiting his parents, Mr, -and I Mrs. Jacob Meuleveld, at their home at 2709 Edmunds street, leaves a war stay-at-home with a queer lump in his throat. For. this2 1-year-old youth, who was an ammunition carrier on the airplane carrier Lexington, and who rescued five men when that ship went down, has a fierce story to tell the kind of tale told by free men. It's a modest account pf bravery and daring that makes you limp with the very starkness and grim reality of it.

It's an account of the exploits of red blood ed youth in an all-out battle a battle they are determined to win. Tells of Battle To see Paul Meuleveld is to make you scared and more than a little ashamed for your, small' contribution to the war effort. Paul! is a real man despite his youth. You can't help but! feel humble before him when you think of what he's gone through for the fight he's carried to the enemy. Here is a battle toughened boy who has seen life in the raw.

It has made him older for his years, and you can tell that he tired. There's a certain. weariness in the way he carries his slight six-foot Paul tells how after the Coral sea battle, the Lexington with several torpedo holes in her side, limped along the tropic sea lanes for another day. He recounts how he was three decks below when gasoline fumes exploded. "Tne concussion knocked us flat," he says.

Not exactly realizing the great extent of the damage, Paul and a few other comrades groped and gasped their way through the smoke to the sick bay. They found it deserted. Then, after much Questioning. Paul admits that he and a companion went back to their battle station, and one by one, through the thick, pungent smoke filled air, Paul, in constant danger of further explosions, carried Wounded comrades above deck, where they EX A.

A. HEAD TALKS OF PEACE R. M. Evans 'Says -Time to Begin Preparing' Is Right Now Grinnell, la (SVR. M.

Evans, a member of the board of gover nors of the federal reserve system, said here Friday that "the time to start creating a lasting peace in a better world is now." The former national administra tor of the A. A. speaking to the Grinnell institute of international relations, said that aericulture is ready to piay its part through the flexible farm program already created and by the ever-normal granary already In use. Evans said that the first after- the-war job would be the feeding of starving peoples. "An important step is being taken through seeing that world trade in farm products is being conducted in an orderly manner," he said, adding that "I hope to see more international agreements." Evans said that he would like to see the development of a system atic conservation; plan for every farm, warned that unless the coun try has strong agricultural policy when the war ends "farmers may become enslaved in poverty and the American people may lose the war after gaining victory on the fields of battle." Evans said, however, that he believed? it would be possible to manage our economic affairs without complications and continue to have full employment and a high national income in peacetime.

Willkie Discusses Party Affairs with Minority Senators Washineton. CF1 Wendell L. Willkie, ,1940 republican presidential nominee, discussed party affairs informally Friday with a group of about 20 minority senators and house remiblican Leader Joseph Martin at a luncheon in the capitol. K- The meeting, attended by several senators who strongly, opposed Willkie's oreum Dolicv views in the past, was described report ers 4ater by WilUue as "harmonious."

MovDummod OD flown into a bay on Rossel The two parties, although exchanging notes through native couriers, didn't get together until March 21. On that same day an Australian patrol plane a Catalina (Consolidated model 31) flew over and alighted when the ma- rooned men fired pyrotechnic signaling devices into the air, attracting the attention of Squadron Leader F. B. Chap- man, the pilot.

Six of the men were flown back to Tulagi harbor, on Florida is- i land, then being evacuated by the! British and Australians and soon thereafter to be occupied by Jap-! anese forces. Once there the aur-thorities decided to try to repair the scouting planes they had suf fered minor damage to tail sur faces, to fabric on controls and wing areas because of waves. The next morning a repair crew of six Australian mechanics was flown in from Port Moresby and by March 28 the work was finished and fuel supplies had been flown in by Sunderland I (f our-engined Short flying boats) Aus tralian navy plane "Those Australian lads were particularly good," said Ensign McGowan. "They didn't have the right materials or tools but they cut strips of, copper out of pipe. made copper rivets, and generally were ingenious.

Their makeshift work was fine." On the morning of March 28. McGowan said, the dozen pilots, radiomen, and mechanics working on the planes the other men had been flown out by the Australians were just sitting down to "the first square breakfast 17 days" when two seaplane scouts from the fleet arrived. The new scout pilots reported the fleet only 200 miles away. Looked Like Beachcombers "Since the repairing and refuel ing was finished we took one radioman and four mechanics as pas sengers and flew out to the fleet. Each one of us identified our own ships, came low, signaled to be taken aboard, and then alighted alongside.

'We looked like beachcombers, but were in good health and ready for action," McGowan finished his story, I never- learned the identity of the pilot who drifted with his radioman for seven days in the Gulf of Papua after missing the fleet while on a reconnaissance flight. Anyway this pilot flew around the general area where he. had expected to find the fleet for some time, and then, before his fuel was entirely exhausted, alighted. For one week the fliers spent the day light hours trying to escape, from the scorching tropical sun or from wettings in the torrential that blow across these waters. The admiral, when the fleet was returning from the successful completion of a mission, remembered the missing plane.

He had his navigators determine the approximate distance; the airplane should have drifted before the winds in that It was sonie 300 miles. The fleet then was brought back over a track that passed through the ocean area where the drifting plane should have been. There a seaplane silhouetted against' the horizon," the lookouts reported one morning. As the fleet turned in that direction the pilot and his radioman recognized the warships as American. They start ed their engine, took off, flew down over the fleet, and acknowledged the signals of their cruiser direct ing them to land and come aboard.

"Reporting, sir, after reconnaissance doty," the pilot said, saluting the cruiser's executive officer as, weak from thirst and exposure, he slid out of his cockpit and drew himself up to "attention." j. After the Lexington's air raids on Tulagi harbor on May 4 two fighter pilots, one of whom was Ensign Elbert S. McCusky, and a torpedo bomber pilot, Lieut. Leonard E. Ewoldt, from the Lexington's companion carrier in that action, ran low on fuel before finishing the return flight.

All three made crash landings on the island of Guadalcanal, the two fighter 'pilots in one place ''and Lieut. Ewoldt at another point, well McCusky's report said that he and his wing mate chose the south shore of the island and reported their landing to the ship by radio. They dropped the planes into a broad boulder strewn sec tion of beach then washed by surf. To cushion the shock they put their landing wheels half way down, tightened their belts, and descended. Neither Hurt "We were able to wa'ik away." McCusky related weeks later when telling of the "As a matter of fact neither of us was hurt.

We got out of the planes and waded ashore, only to find our- seles surrounded by natives wearing only stone axes and knives made of human thigh bones. It looked like a tough spot "But those boys were friendly. It was getting dark and we wanted a fire to signal to a destroyer that might be sent for us. We couldn't talk to the natives, but with signs we made them understand we wanted a fire." McCusky said the warriors used the oldest known method for creating With grunts and groans attesting their efforts, they whirled a thick pointed stick in a hole in another stick, creating a spark from friction.

Rescue Comrades When the two sailors had res cued all they could, the wounded Were lowered in life boats and the others were dropped down ropes into the sea. After the proud Lexington had been torpedoed by United States destroyers and after she sank be neath the waves, the survivors of the crew of 2,400 were taken to New Calcedonia and the island of Tango before being sent to San Diego.

For bravery and rescue work, Paul and his companion received a recommendation for comenda-tion by. the acting supply officer to the commanding officer. Neither Paul nor his mother or sister even mentioned the citation. It was an outsider who fi nally got it from them, and then reluctantly.

He was picked up by the. fleet at the end of that time when navigators diverted the course of the American task force toward the spot where they had calculated he would be olown Jby the winds. Along With these is the glory of the four seaplane pilots who also landed on Rossel, remained a month, and with? the assistance of royal Australian air force patrol crews who found them, filially repaired the minor damage their aircraft had sustained. At the end of that time the American fleet passed close to Rossel, and the scout pilots all flew out and were taken aboard their own cruisers. And thefe were a number of eases, in which pilots made crash landings of their planes on islands and either! were picked up by de stroyers or, flown to Australian base by patrol The moral to all "of the accounts is, of course: "The navy takes care ot its men." I 'have known of instances in which admirals ordered destroyers, in time of war when a destroyer is worth its weight in gold and when its jobs always are double its capacity, to travel a thousand miles to nick up one pilot marooned on an island beach.

'It's 'marvelous to see the ray the navy worries about its pilots and air crews," I told Capt. Fred Sherman (now rear admiral) one day the Lexington which he commanded. "First and he replied "they are our men. Second, their flying skill is both our striking force' and our defense. We "feel we should do everything in our power to recover them."
