Aircraft Carrier, (harred, Battered Back Home from Pacific War (Continueq jruia Page One) ior cfficcrs: “He was the bravest I ever saw.” Heroic work The lean, scholarly Jesuit first moved around the burning, slanting and exposed flight deck adminis- tering last rites to the dying. Then be led officers and men into the tlames, risking momentary death, to jettison hot bombs and shells. Then he recruited a damage control party and led it into one of the main ammunition magazines to wet it down and prevent its exploding. While survivors were battling to keep the ship afloat, men still were dying in continuing explosions. Some were trapped, others leaped overboard to escape what seemed certain death. Others stayed at the undameged guns to beat off re- peated attacks by waves of enemy planes. No more hits were scored on the crippled ship. A few hours after the first at- tack, the Light Cruiser Santa Fe came alongside to remove the wounded. Early in the afternoon, after the fires were under control, the Franklin was taken in tow by the Heavy Cruiser Pittsburgh. s man Under Own Power By the next morning one of the carrier's fire rooms had resumed operations and her severe list had heen corrected. During the day, more power was recovered and the carrier worked up a speed of 23 knots under her own power. On the second day after the attack, 300 of her men were brought back aboard frem other vessels which had picked them up and the Franklin headed for home. The Franklin, built by the New- port News, Va., Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., was launched October 19, 1943, and commissioned January 31, 1944. IN ALEUTIANS TO DRIVE OUT JAPANESE SEATTLE, May 18—Capt. Leslie E. Gehres, who skippered the Al craft Carrier Franklin in its dra- matic clash with Japanese dive bombers, headed the Naval Air Porce in the Aleutians during the crucial days when the enemy was knocking at Americs door. He was the first Naval Air Com- modore ever commissioned, holding that rank temporarily while in the North. Vice Adm. Frank Jack Fletcher praised him for playing a leading part in driving the Japa- hese out of the Aleutians When he first took his patrol wing of Catalinas to Alaska in May, 1942, 10 days before the struck at Duteh Harbor, he had practically all the air protection Alaska and the Aleutians could send against the invaders. Later, he was in command of the northwest g enemy ¢ Venturas which raided the Kuriles, taking a personal part ia some of these missions.
