War Action
Against JFK
Editor'! Note In a World
War II skirmish, President - elect
John F. Kennedy's lorpedo boat
was rammed and sunk by a Jap
anese destroyer. Kennedy was 24
t the time and his adversary,
Lt. Comdr. Kohei Hanami, wai
34. In this story, as Hanami told
it to Gene Kramer of The Asso
ciated, Press, the ex-skipper re
calls the 1943 incident and gives
his views of Kennedy today.
By .KOHEI HANAMI
TOKYO '(API It stuns me t
think how close we came to de
stroying the new president of the
United States, John F. Kennedy,
one black night in the Pacitie
during World War II.
I can remember that night very
clearly.
It was about 2 a.m. Aug. 1, 1943.
My ship, the Amagiri, was re
turning from a supply mission to
our troops in Kolobangara, in ths
Solomon Islands.
It was a starless night. Rain
threatened and visibility was poor.
I stood on the bridge, straining to
see as we moved northward up
Blacked Strait.
I had ordered battle alert, sines
we were under constant harass
ment by U.S. planes in the day
time and by night raiders and
torpedo beats at night.
Suddenly we spotted an object
churning up white waves about
1.000 meters to our starboard. I
realized it was a torpedo boat and
cried out. "Ten degrees turn, full
speed ahead!"
Such "crash strategy" was sup
posed to be the best way to meet
a torpedo boat attack. Our de
stroyer moved headlong toward
the smaller boat at 30 knots.
We crashed right into it. I saw
the enemy ship break in two with
a tremendous roar. White gasoline
tlames shot out.
The torpedo boat disappeared in
the dark. I knew that at least ona
half and probably both halves
sank. The commander of that tor
pedo boat happened to be John F.
Kennedy, but of course it was not
until years later that I first heard
his name.
I thought probably no ons
aboard the small boat survived.
The thing for us was to get out cf
the enemy's theater of air superi
ority as quickly as we could. Al
though the collision smashed tha
Amagiri's bow, damaged its screw
and caused some flooding, we
were able to run for Rabaul at
24 knots.
The next year I was relieved of
command in March because of illness.
After the war. I settled down on
my family farm a Shiokawa.
Lack of sleep from constant bom
bardment and overwork had been
too much. I came down with
tuberculosis and was an invalid
for four years.
In 1952, still on the farm. I was
flabbergasted to get a letter from
Dr. Gunji Hosono. chairman of tha
Japan Institute of Foreign Affairs
in Tokyo. It said that the torpedo
boat smashed by the Amaeiri had
been skippered by Coneressman
Kennedy, then visiting Japan, and
he wanted to meet me.
I was tremendously moved bv .
Kennedy's friendliness to a for-
mer adversary. I could not reach
Tokyo in time to meet him, but
I wrote him a letter, congratula
ting him on his daring attack and
miraculous survival and wishing
him success in his campaign for
senator. In his reply Kennedy
agreed with my view that the
United States and Japan should
cooperate us friends.
Teddy's Kin
Cusses Plan
WASHINGTON (API - Alica
Roosevelt Longworth showed
mighty little interest today in a
suggestion that a unit of a pro
posed cultural center here be
adopted as a living memorial for
her father, the late President
Theodore Roosevelt.
T. R.'s outspoken daughter told
a Washington Post reporter: "The
hell with the cultural center a
memorial. I flee from thinkina
about things like that. It has noth
ing to do with a memorial to my
father."
Mrs. Longworth, 76, was asked
to comment on a proposal to ded
icate part of W ashington's planned
$75-million cultural center as a
memorial to her father.
Neill Phillips, chairman of tha
Committee of 100 on the Federal
City, suggested it in a letter to
members of the Theodore Roose
velt Association, which is consid
ering designs for the Theodore
Roosevelt Memorial.
Mrs. Longworth has said she
thinks Theodore Roosevelt Island
in tha Potomac Rim her thould
be presented tt wildlife sanctuary
with only a modest typs of me
morial t her father.
Turtles do not have teeth, but
j their jaws have horny edges that
can cut Mrs euettancss,
