A sailor stood in the mists at _ghe is, boys, There's the old Big E.” The “Big BE’ nudged slowly through the strange, fresh waters of the Hudson river,” A navy blimp ' gailed down close to her. The carrier's tiny lamps flickered messages to the speeding patrol craft | around her, as if to say: “Take it} easy, mates, This is my show. This is what I came home for.” The tiny PT boats flickered back’ “Go ahead, Big E. Take over! Because the ship never lived, big| or little, that could steal much thunder from the famous “old lady.” Led by Monterey The 10,000-ton aircraft carrier, Monterey, led the way, The Enterprise rode in second place, with ‘eight other ships trailing along behind her, The Monetery flew a giant Amerjean flag and a string of eight small balloons flapped from her masthead, Sailors gathered along the bat tery waved when they saw the Monterey pass, They shouted at the men standing on her flight deck, They laughed and talked about her among themselves. They Stare at “E” But they only stared quietly at the “Big E.” For the big carrier was coming home with a record too obvious for flattery, and she sailed with too many ghosts aboard to cause reckless cheering, The geamen squimted through the haze and perhaps they remembered ghipmates left at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, or lost in the blood battle for the Santa Cruz islands. » . The “Big E" came back to New York with no shouting or bragging. She flew no flag, and only her radar sereen stood out in sharp relief behind her superstructure, There was no theering from the men who lined her decks, The 20,-000-ton carrier had chased the war for more than 275,000 miles and perhaps her crewmen were too tired to get excited, Rementher Heroes

The “Old Lady” passed within a few hundred yards of the statue of liberty. Many of the Enterprise's crew moved over ‘to the port rail, their caps in hand, but still there was no cheering. Perhaps they remembered others who couldn't come today. Shipmates like Lt. Cmdr. Edward H. (Butch) O'Hara, congressional medal of honor winner, who had disappeared in his plane one night “ above the carrier in the far reaches of the Pacific, The old Enterprise could afford to come into hagbor quietly, letting a tug push her around. She had a record that could shout for itself,

Bagged 911 Planes

Her planes and guns shot down 911 Japanese planes, her fliers sank Ji ships. They damaged or probably sank another 192. The navy calls her the “fightingest carrier in the fleet” and she wears 18 of a possible 22 Pacific theater battle stars. The Enterprise was the first carrier to win a Presi- . dential citation, which was just the game as having a medal pinned on her bridge. She was the only carrier to send planes into the fight at Pear] Harbor and to stick it out until the desperate days around Okinawa. She covered the carrier Hornet when Jimmy Doolittle led his B25's over Tokyo. She was in there fighting when the Hornet later died beside her on Oct, 26, 1942, in the murderous fighting off Santa Cruz. 80 Admiral Frederick C. Sherman brought the famous “work-horse”

The other three vessels, the 10. 000-ton carrier Bataan, the heavy cruiser Portland and the destroyer Sterett will leave New York shortly for Navy day appearances in other areas. But the “Big E” stole the show today. Admiral Willlam F. Halsey didn’t call her the “galloping ghost of the Oahu coast” for nothing. Made First Attack

Farly in the war she made the first attack on enemy territory, raiding the Japanese-held Gilberts and Marshalls, During that first year she was in every Pacific engagement except the battle of the Coral sea, In the battle of Midway she sank the large enemy carriers Kaga and Akagi, and .a Mogami-class cruiser, She helped to sink the carrier Sqryu| and damaged a battleship. The “Big E” provided vital alr cover in the battle of the Solomons | and she helped to crush Japanese transports attempting to reinforce the beleaguered enemy on Guadalcanal, The “Old Lady's” planes were the first to go up to meet enemy bombers at night. O'Hare, one of the planners of the “bit plane” tactics, was lost on Nov. 26, 1043, in the first fight. The Enterprise participated in the invasions of the Marshalls, Hol-

and |

landia, the Marianas, and joined in|}

the devastating strikes of Task Force 58. It was the “Big E's” planes in the battle of the Philippines sea | that spotted the Japdhese fleet | when it appeared to have slipped away. Her pilots hung above. the enemy, their fuel almost exhausted, until the attack was renewed. Cevered Invasion

In the first five months of 1845 she launched more than 1000 tare get sorties. The “old lady” cove ered the Luzon invasion, made sweeps against French IndoChina, the China coast; Canton, Formosa and Okinawa. She made two carrier strikes against Tokyo and the Inland sea, and provided air support for the Iwo Jima and Okinawa landings. Off Iwo the “Big BE” had planes in the afr day and night for 174 consecutive hours, She was nearly done in on April 11 when ‘she was hit by one Kamikaze plane, and narrowly missed by two others. A bent frame sent her out of action, but the “Big E”|

{was back fighting within six weeks, |

Hit By Kamikaze As flagship for task force 58 she steamed within 60 miles of Kyushu

bases. On May 14 the enemy coun“old lady" caught it full on the chin, A bomb-laden Kamikaze smashed | into the forward part of her flight deck. The blast blew the forward elevator cleanly out of its well and sent it over 400 feet into the air. Before they could get the “Big E” out of action, the Japanese attempted to attack her 21 more times, You can see the scars on her stomach now, if the “Big E's” sallors like you—and think you rate such a sight.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (Ul P.).— Failure of the Big Five foreign ministers to complete a peace treaty | for ftaly has revived demands for | publication of the secret, two-year-old Italian armistice terms. Those terms were so harsh that] most of them were never put into effect. As a result, all of the allies have dodged responsibility and found excuses for not making them | public. There Is talk here and in London about the possibility of canceling the armistice terms and préparing some new temporary arrangement— in diplomatic talk, a modus vivendi ~for administration of Italy until a peace treaty is made. Such a step, however, ‘will only intensify demands for publication of the secret armistice terms—an

Democrats that. thousands were disfranchised by a deliberate muddling of the vote registration machinery. They also charged a ruling by Atty. Gen. James Emmert, countermanding an order by the Indiana election commissioners, further disfranchised the- electorate, Then came a month-long probe by a subcommittee of the campaign expenditures committee, pockmarked with rumors of peep-hole spying and assorted tomfoolery, Evidence gathered by this committee was presented in a special hearing in the federal building last December before Senators Tom Stewart Tenn.) and Joseph Ball (R. Minn.). Emmert Turns Charge Atty. Gen. Emmert turned the “politics” charge back on the Democrats and the session ended in a

spirit of general indecision. Senator Ball commented that numerous “errors” had been made in the 1944 registration, especially in Marion county where Democrats said 20,000
