Those Welders Wouldn't Stop

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (U. P). —The Navy today added to its long list of heroes in the Pearl Harbor raid a group of welders who continued their work amidst the bullets and bombs dropped by Japanese pilots. The welders were aboard a destroyer tender when the air raid started. They welded spare machine guns onto the tops of deck houses at the height of the Japanese raid.

“The guns were in the final ac<. tion,” the Navy said. Four U. 8. Naval Reserve En. signs, as the only surviving offi- . cers aboard a destroyer, got their craft underway and took her out to sea to pursue the enemy. With the Senior Ensign in command, the young officers met all emergencies and “operated the ship like veterans,” the Navy said.
