» 5 Used Football Tactics AS THE SHIPS halted south of Roviana island, the landing on the east side of Rendova began About 30 Japanese were waiting. 25 vards from the beach in the coconut palms. They opened file Mai John Carrigan of Bens ington, Vt, former Manhattan Cl ge football player, who was leading the beachhead assault, shouted “Pix vour bavonets and let's rush them.” Sheepishly the big, blue-eyed Carrigan admitted later that “I fieured it wouldn't do us any good to sit around. This stunt worked in football, and I figured it would here, too.” Carrigan and his men jet out a war whoop clearly audible where I was standing 50 yards away and charged through the palms. Four Melanasians who once lived on Rendova accompanied them, The Japanese fell back slowly through the palins, leaving sone sni pers in the trees. Carrigan sent ih men on a flanking maneuver and pushed the enemy into a bottleneck, forcing them toward the tip of the peninsula on the east side of Rendova harbor Some of the Japanese reached the jungle-matted foothills, where a few others were posted, but the last 35 of this group perished in a 45-minute skirmish which brought the Americans 100 yards inland = » » OUR LOSSES were negligible he 23-caliber guns of the Japanese were no match for the Garands, tommy guns and Brownings of the Americans, Many of the Japanese bodies I saw were mangled by bullets. One Japanese officer, driven to a frenzy when his ammunition was exhausted, charged an Amer ican soldier with his sword. The Yank plugged the Japanese between the eves, He fell dead at the American's feet His sword now is on the way to the admiral in command of the south Pacific. Carrigan, credited with winning a shooting bet once by splitting a cigaret from 15 feet, Killed three Japs. But the top man here this morning was Sgt. William Taylor, 22, of West Virginia. who plugged five Japanese before he was wounded. An evewilness said Favior jumped from a tree and fired sev. eral more rounds after he was wounded. Doctors treated the wound while Taylor and Carrigan swapped guns, since the major was out of ammunition The doctors ordered Taylor car ried aboard ship. Respectfully, but definitely, he said, “Not me I'm walking.” He walked. I'toops reaching what evidently was garrison headquarters near a small river found a pot of rice still stewing, indicating that if the Japanese were not surprised by the landing they at least did not know where we would hit, On both sides of the harbor the Japanese abandoned numerous stores of rice, machine guns and tools, 2 ” =

HERE WERE surprises on our side, too. Lt. Bllis Satterthwaite was rumaging through a hut. Warned hy
a sixth sense, he wheeled to see
a Japanese slithering through the entrance. Quicker on the draw, Satterthwaite killed the Japanese. On the west side of the harbor there was little action except for sniper activity, Col.

CHINA GREETED
President Sends Message On Sixth Anniversary | Of Jap War.
WASHINGTON, July 7 tU. P) = President Roosevelt sent the “heartfelt greetings” of America to ware torn China today on the sixth anniversary of the start of her conflict with Japan and declared that!
! fthe United States is redeeming its
pledges to “neglect none of the
roads to Tokyo,”
The president's message, broadcast from San Francisco by short
wave to Chungking. said: “To the people of China: “This day marks the end of the sixth year of the heroic defense of vour soil under the leadership of the great Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. I send you, the people of China, the heartfelt greetings of your partners, the people of the} United States. | “Our friends have long Known what our eneinjes are learning toe day, that the promises of the United States are always kept and our] pledges are always redeemed. The | statements which follow have been | made’ to me at various times since we joined hands with you in this war. It ts good to know that the! hopes and the promises I expressed on these former occasions ave all’ being borne out today.”
Quoted His Speeches
Bolstering his assertion that! America keeps its word, the president quoted former speeches ih which he had spoken of the gallant fighting effort of the Chinese nation. Ie repeated what he had said one month after Pearl Harbor, that ‘powerful and offensive actions must and will be taken in proper time." impiyving that the new offensive in the southwest Pacific is at least one phuse of the promised attack on Japan. He reminded China that on Aptil 28, 1042 he sald “ways will be found to deliver airplanes and munitions | of war.” The people of Chungking had only to look skyward to see the first step in the fulfillment of that promise—the air transport route from India-=bringing in precious, though limited. supplies, On Feb. 12, 1943. Roosevelt told the Chinese that “our policy toward our Japanese enemies is a policy of fighting hard on all fronts and ending war as quickly as we can on the uncomprising terms of unconditional surrender.” Finally, as encouragement to China to have faith that her long fight will be rewarded, the president quoted his words to congress on Jan. 7. 1943: “From this war, China will realize the security, the prosperity and the dignity which Japan has sought so ruthlessly to destroy.”

HAVE WHAT IT TAKES FOR STEADY PLEASURE — PLENTY OF FLAVOR AND EXTRA MILDNESS
We have just carried the greatest pas. ‘senger volume in New York Central history.
And we want to thank those who rode our trains last week-end for being good sports in a difficult situation.
We threw into the job every available man, locomotive, Pullman car, coach and diner. But there just weren't enough to handle in comfort all the fighters on furlough, wartime business travelers, and civilians trying to get away for a few days rest.
If war could have taken the week-end off, things might have been better. But
war knows no holidays.
The war freights had to keep rolling. So
One of America’s Railroads
repeat!
did the troop trains which now use half the Pullmans and a third of the coaches. And, of course, there was no way of recalling for the occasion the 21,000 experienced New York Central workers now in the armed services.
It's over now, We did our level best. And we appreciate the good natured understanding everyone showed, but we hope that Fourth of July history won't he repeated every week-end from now till Labor Day.
Serving on America's vital supply line, we have a war job to do. That is why the Government and we of New York Central urge you . . . this summer especially . . . to travel on essential business only. Help keep the tracks clear for Victory.
