EIGHT RC-SEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1942. Japs Lose Half of Best Plane Carriers in Fights (Continued horn page 1) (AP) "The Japs didn't sink the Lexington.' Bob Charles, 24, Milwaukee, Wis., machinists' mate, first class, who dived 50 feet off the ship's stern to safety, smiled wryly as he described the sinking of the aircraft carrier.. "That ship was the finest car rier afloat," Charles said. "If we could have stopped the fire, we'd have brought her back." "The four torpedoes an Amer ican destroyer sent Into her were what sunk her, not the six tin fish the Japs poured Into her." With others of the ship's per sonnel 92 per cent of whom were saved Charles was brought to San Diego after being picked up at sea by a U. S. destroyer. Charles said "about 40 Japanese torpedo bombers came after the Lexington." "The first torpedo hit the port slue. I felt like the ship was raised 10 feet in the air. Then I was bounced among all those bombs and shells. I don't know why none of them went off." The machinists told of seeing Jap planes drop into the water as the Lexingtons machine guns opened up. He saw a gun crew abandon Its gun as a torpedo swirled through the water after a plane dropped It, then saw one crew man Jump back at the gun, direct its fire and bring down the plane before the torpedo struck. with MAJOR HOOPLE Around the County OUR BOARDING HOUSE fr JUST A MINUTE, HOOPLE- I'VE POT W PATIENCE, NEIGHBOR UP VJITW NOUR BEESjVOUB.
