: Adm. Halsey. Whose Words Hurt Japs'

- Dignity, Arrives Here Tomorrow for Fefe

(Continued From Page One) .

when Nips continued their attacks on U. 8. ships despite the peace declaration, he uncorked another whamdoodle: “If you see any Japs,” he told his men, “just shoot ‘em down in friendly fashion.” H » » LASHING out again in Washington at the sons of heaven (his favorite subjects), Halsey declared this spring:

“Even the stupid, bestial Jap can |

see he’s losing control of the sea everywhere. Of course, he will try to establish land routes. But we'll

~ go in after him, So it's heads we

win. tails he loses. They're all rats When we want to dig ’em out we can. They always end up like rats.” A reporter then asked him how long it would take to dig the Jap fleet out. “1 can’t get myself into a ral's frame of mind, so I don’t know,” was Halsey's retort proper. » » ~ ADM. HALSEY won the nickname, “Bull,* as a football player at Annapolis. But in the navy, he’s not considered a typical Annapolis product, He's too - informal, too flexible, too unorthodox. Halsey didn't go by the book. For that matter he didn't at Annapolis. He graduated two-thirds of the way down in his class. . No spit and polish officer, the “Bull” overlooks minor defects if his ship’s gun placements are perfect. He clips his hair short, sometimes sloshes around aboard ship in bedroom slippers. He's been known to address his morning strategy conference with a “Sit down, dammit.”

he'd just as soon break a rule as make one. He once proffered this

* theory of naval warfare:

“I believe in violating rules, We violate them every day, We do the unexpected. We expose ourselves to

" é shore-based planes. We don't stay hehind the battle with our carriers. But most important, whatever we do, we do fast.” : The droll, shaggy-browed coms mander demonstrated his disrepect of protocol after the starch-shirted peace signing ceremony. Straight» faced dignity reigned there. But Halsey was unimpressed. He said he felt like kicking the Jap peace emissaries in the teeth,

» n - HE'D ALREADY kicked plenty of Japs in the teeth. And in doing so, | Halsey, true to his theory, seldom | abided by the rules of the game. | His strategy staff was called the | “dirty trick” department, | There were his initial hit-and-run blows against the Marshalls, the ' Gilberts, Marcus and Wake. | But the biggest kick in the teeth came near the end. That was when | he maneuvered his 3d fleet off the { Jap mainland and peppered bombs on the coast just 2376 miles from Tokyo. '

Nimitz at Pearl Harbor, the sailors tossed decorum to the winds and cheered. Few other brass hats were so beloved by their men, Halsey is a sailor's sailor. Later, he sent his decorations to

who had been killed in the Solomons, “It was their husbands’ fighting guts that won me my four stars,” he explained. : =u » » LAST FALL, Halsey's 3d fleet started battering away at various points in the Philippines. After a number of feints and thrusts the fleet protected MacArthur's Philippine invagion. Later, when MacArthur was being showered® with plaudits, Halsey is réported to have wired him: “You hit the jackpot with my nickel.” » » H®

BORN IN Elizabeth, N, J. in 1882, Halsey entered the Naval academy in 1000. Five years after he was commissioned an ensign he married Miss Frances Cooke Grandy of Nor~ folk, Va. They have two children, After captaining several destroyers, he returned to the Naval acad-
