Navy Tells Daring Exploit
Of Sub Attack On Jap Ships
Washington, June 7 (U.R
The navy revealed today the dar
ing exploit of a U. S. submarine
that sneaked at night into a har
bor lammed with Japanese ships,
surfaced under the muzzles of
enemy guns and torpedoed ves
sels all about it, then got away In
a miraculous exhibition of broken-field
running.
It is the sort of thriller with
which boys' series books about
war are filled but which sound
too incredible really to have hap
pened.
This episode was real enough,
however, and earned Cmdr. Eu
gene B. Fluckey of the submar
ine barb the medal of honor and
his entire crew the Presidential
unit citation.
Jap Haven Entered
Here is the story:
Fluckey had long suspected
the existence of a geographically
concealed haven, otherwise un
identified by the navy, which hid
large number of Japanese fight
ers, tankers and munitions ships.
It was a dark night, with poor
visibility, that Fluckey found his
target. A large number of aux
iliary Japanese ships were in an
anchorage behind a protecting
screen of escort vessels which
were concentrated on every logi
cal approach. The 'vater was so
shallow that an attacking sub
marine would have to remain
surfaced during its approach and
for at least an hour afterwards,
Still, anchored there in the
harbor was one of the best tar
gets ever presented by the en
emy. Fluckey decided to attack
despite the heavy odds.
His danger-laden escape in
volved flight through uncharted
waters filled with mines and
rocks and a route packed with
fishing Junks. But he figured the
Japanese escorts would hesitate
to make a run through the rocks
and would find the fishing junks
a handicap.
Presently, the Barb moved in
side the screen of Jap escort.
She let go with all the torpedoes
she could in the time available,
gave full right rudder and moved
toward the rocks at full speed.
Ships Erupt
From the bridge of the sur
faced ship, Fluckey could see
Japanese ships erupting in the
night like a nest of volcanoes.
Columns of fire leaped from sev
eral vessels. The first target set
tled in the water. Some of the
vessels hit were obscured by oth
ers burning in the line of Vision.
Only the Japanese now know
how many ships went down that
night. Fluckey had no time to
stop and count.
Japanese escorts came in hot
7, 1945 pursuit, tossing a haft of shells
In the direction of the fleeing
Barb. Many hit close by but all
missed. The junks confused the
enemy and several of them were
taken as targets insstead of the
Barb.
ine escaping submarine exe
cuted a perfect maneuver of
"broken-field running" and
reached open water at dawn. A
Japanese plane spotted her and
she submerged for the first time
since sighting the target the
night before. And the entire
crew lived to tell the tale.

Ashland, June 7. Ashland to
day is offering its ideal climate,
healthful elevation and many
other advantages to the govern
ment in a bid for the veterans'
hospital which the Veterans'
Administration has stated it de
sires to build in southern Oregon
or northern California.
Telegrams were sent today by
the city of Ashland through
Mayor Wiley and by the Ashland
Postwar Planning Council to
Oregon senators and congress
men, requesting that Ashland's
advantages be presented to the
Veterans Administration and
that that organization be asked
to investigate local sites before
any decision is made.
Medford, Klamath Falls and
other places are also bidding for
this veterans' facility, but Ash
land leaders feel that, since
Roseburg has its Veterans' hos
pital, Klamath Falls the Marine
base and Medford Camp .White
and since Ashland has all the
elements required for such an
institution that the Veterans'
hospital should be located in or
near Ashland.
Redding is the -main applicant
from California for the Veterans'
Hospital, with a site near Shasta
lake having been proposed for
the hospital.
Ashland was once considered
for a hospital, but no action was
taken on It at that time. A brief.
outlining the many suitable sites
in the Ashland area, will be sub
mitted to the proper authorities
before the question is decided

EinMjr Dulillint Cora, LihJuU, Pa,
Chicago, June 7 U.F For
mer President Herbert Hoover
praised President Truman today
for taking action to remedy what
he called a "terrible muddle in
the domestic food situation."
Mr. tloover said the President
had taken a "wise step" In ap
pointing Rep. Clinton P. Ander
son, D., N. M., as secretary of
agriculture. He commended Mr.
Truman for his plan to consoli
date the War Food Administra
tion with the department of ag
riculture. ..
"But the most hopeful part is
that we have a new regime tack
ling the problem," Mr. Hoover
told a press conference. "Every
body wants the President to succeed.'
Rumors Denied
Mr. Hoover denied rumors
that he would accept a govern
mental post in connection with
post-war food relief. In answer
to a question, he said:
Bear in mind that I am soon
going to be 71 years old. I was
47 when I had the food job in
the last war. My position in the
world is that of an adviser."
The former president said he
had just left Washington, where
he had engaged in a discussion
of our domestic food situation
and the relief of the liberated
countries of Europe."
Black Markets Blamed
Mr. Hoover said the principal
muddle "is local famines over
the country due to maldistribu
tion and black markets."
Still a further evidence is a
30 per cent decrease in the hog
population at a time when we
ought to be Increasing it," he
added. "The American hog is
our principal source of fats. Fata
are second only to bread as Im
portant foods."
When asked the reason for the
decrease, Mr. Hoover replied,
"It would take me two columns
to answer that," and then added:
"You can control prices but
control is far different from
freezing prices, You can control
water going into the city mains,
but if you freeze the water, you
will get nothing. That is one
cause of the trouble."
