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.

"When freedom from her
mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the
air. -
She tore the azure robe of
night
And set the stars of glory
there.
She mingled with its gorgeous
dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure, celestial
white
With streaklngs of the morn
ing light;
Then, from his mansion In the
sun,
She called her eagle bearer
down
And gave Into his mighty hand
Tile symbol of her chosen land.
Flag of the free hearts' hope
and home!
By angel hands to valor given!
Thy stars have lit the Welkin
nnme.
A)iJ ul thy hues were born in
heaven.
Forever float that standard
sheet!
Where breathcsi;the. foe but
falls before, us,
With freedom's soil beneath
. our feet,
And freedom's banner stream
ing o'er us."
Amen. (J. Rodman Drake.)
