MONDAY, APRIL 20. 195B HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 3 A niMtii1tiir3 ; CREWMEN LINE the rails of the USS San Francisco as the , cruiser sails into San Francisco Harbor for repairs shortly ; after her victorious battle with a Japanese battleship. Now, more than 16 years later, the aging San Francisco ;. Is to be scrapped. Cruiser 'San Francisco1 To Be Scrapped By Navy SAN FRANCISCO W-The Navy Ms scrapping the USS San Fran cisco, the saucy cruiser that challenged and crippled a Japa nese battleship in a key sea tight for Guadalcanal. The aging, 10.000-ton cruiser is among five outmoded battleships, 23 cruisers and IS light aircraft carriers now mothballed in Phil adelphia and destined for the Navy scrap heap, ,., Soon, all that will be left of the gallant old cruiser will be two navigation wings from her bridge, ...a flagpole and a chipped ship's bell. They are part of a monu- ';' ment overlooking San Francisco's ' Golden Gate. The San Francisco blasted her way into naval immortality on the right of Nov. 12-13, 1942, only eight months after Pearl Harbor, while the Marines were fighting to turn the Japanese tide on Guadalcanal. She was the flagship of a hasti ly assembled fleet of five cruisers and eight destroyers, a little force that stopped two Japanese battle ships and 14 destroyers bent on shelling Marine-held Henderson Airfield. In pitch darkness, the U.S. ships steamed into the middle of the Japanese fleet with three times its firepower. A lot of the fireing was done at point blank range by the light of searchlights and star shells. . Rear Aim. Daniel J. Callaghan of Oakland, Calif., U.S. command er, directed: "Take on the big one first." Minutes later, he was dead. The San Francisco's 8-inch guns dueled the 14inch-gunned battle ship. Hiei and crippled her so bad ly she was an easy target for U.S. bombers to sink the next day. When it was over, the Americans had lost the cruisers Atlanta and Juneau and four destroyers. The San Francisco was hit by 45 shells. IS of them 14-inchers from battleships. Aboard were 107 dead. Her bridge was a shambles. Twenty five fires were burning below decks. After repairs, the San Francisco went right on fighting. When peace came, her record read like a roll call of Pacific battles Pearl Har bor, Guadalcanal, the Aleutians. Wake, Gilbert, the Marshalls, the Carolines, Palau, New Guinea, the Marianas, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. In all, the Navy credited her with crippling one enemy bat tleship, sinking one heavy cruiser and four destroyers, assisting in sinking one and damaging two other cruisers and destroying 13 planes and numerous small craft. Playwright Unsatisfied With Her First Efforts ' . NEW YORK (AP)-Slim, petite Lorraine Hansberry tried four times to write a play, tore up the results. Then one night in a burst of indignation, she went to work again. ' The result,, was "A Raisin in ( the1 Sun," which this week cli maxed spectacular Broadway suc cess by being named by the Dra ma Critics Circle as the season's best American play. Newcomer Lorraine's simple, warm story of a Negro family in Chicago triumphed over the works . of such notables as Eugene O'Neill, Archibald MacLeish and Tennes see Williams. :" The 28-year-old playwright fer "vently wrote "A Raisin" to express "something about American life in 'general" beyond race and color. "People can get pretty mixed up," she said, "and they can also be pretty nice. I think the human race is obviously worth saving, ridiculous as it can be, and that probably we have the stamina to fight for our survival if we can just stop talking about how hope less we all are." Miss Hansberry, energetic and articulate, grew up on Chicago's South Side, daughter of a prosper ous Negro real estate broker. She has a sister and two brothers. The events in her prize, play re semble her own life only in the person of the drama's outspoken, off-beat college girl, Bencatha. Lorraine grew up with the as pirations to be a painter, studying at Chicago's Art Institute, the Un iversity of Wisconsin and the Uni versity of Guadalajara in Mexico. She did a little work with a small theater group in Chicago, and took some courses at Roose velt College. In 1930 she headed for New York. Up to this point, her only liter ary effort to show a profit was a i tiigh school essay that won two -tickets to a football game. To sup port herself while seeking success as a short story writer, she under took a series of jobs that included CITY BRIEFS putting price tags on her coats ana tending table. In 1953 she and Robert Nemeroff were married and settled down to life in a Greenwich Village apart ment. Nemeroff, now a music pub lisher, urged his wife to keep writing. One night seeing a play, "I sud denly became disgusted with the whole body of material about Ne groes" and determined to write "a social drama about Negroes that will be good art." About a year ago, Miss Hans berry finished "A Raisin in the Sun," and after a dinner party read some ot It to a group of friends. The next morning one of them, Phil Rose, telephoned to say he wanted to produce it. Miss Hansberry is at work on another play, which she doesn't expect to have ready for about a year. She appears to have lost none of her ability as a self taught writer to appraise herself frankly. Discussing "A Raisin," she ob served: "I didn't have to chance dialogue much, but constantly re- visea tne structure. Boy, if plays didn't have to make sense I'd be a genius." Dance Contest Results Known ETNA The annual dance con test of the Scott Valley Recreation Center for teen-agers was won by Eddie Herron and Danielle De Faria dancing to "bop" music. Raymond Hjertagcr and Janice Birdwell won the waltz music con test. Judges for the event were Charles Heinez and Fern Meam ber of Yrcka and Donna Laine of Etna.

Cath, 30-Day Chrja, Rtvolvifif Charge New Anglican Prelate Has Say About Security SEATTLE (AP)-Tlie American prelate appointed to a new and powerful international post in the Anglican community is a tall gaunt bishop with a premonition of butterflies in his stomach. The Rt. Rev. Siephen F. Baync Jr. will take over next January as executive officer of the 40-million-member worldwide com munion, a post created to draw more closely together the 15 sell-! governing national churches that compose the Anglican community. tor 12 years Bishop Bayne, 50. has been the Episcopal bishop of he Olymnia Diocese of Western Washington. His voice has become increasingly important among the world s religious leaders. Last fall he was one of those considered Senator Adds Oregon Visit PORTLAND (APt-Scn. Hubert H.

In a pastoral Idler read Satur day in the parishes of his dio cese, Bishop Bayne told of his weeks of indecision regarding ac ceptance of the post. "Those of you who wondered what happened to the bishop's diary this month will know how it was that I could not write my usual loving foolishness with a stomach full of lead!

He has been in the forefront of local, stale and national controversies and is con sidered one of the most quoted prelates In the country. The bishop had this to say about security: "We are developing Into a gen eration of people who peer sus piciously at one another, who are afraid to say what we think, who are afraid of the truth. On taxes: "Tax laws are primary archl tccts of a society. If Christians are to bear their witness, let them bear it in areas like taxes where it counts."
