Post-War Education

ANOTHER THOUSAND FOR BUNKER HILLFighters Even Score

The United States Government is concerned not onlywith making good fighting men but with making good men.The interest of our government Is comprehensive enough toinclude the whole Ule at the men in the service, includingeven a glaJ\ce Into the uncertain future. It seems possiblethat former college students and high school graduates, nowin the service, are interested in the chances to completetheir education alter the war. Our only -advice Is, and wewould like to shout it from the housetops: "THINK IT OVER:'don't fail to give it thoughUul consideration. We believethat this Is one thing that Hollywood could rlghUully call,wonderful and super-colossal. We welcome further inquiry.

The following condensation of parts of the Bill dealingwith post-war education may help to arouse your interestand answer your questions:

"Any person who served in the active military or nava1service on or alter SeI-~ember 16, 19.(0 and p.riar to thetermination of the present war, and who shall have beendischarged or released under conditions other than dishon-orable, and whose education or training was impeded, delayed,interrupted or interferred with, and who either shall haveserved ninety days or more exclusive of any period he wasassigned for a course of education or training under theArmy Specialized Training program or the Navy's COllegeTraining Program... II such a person falls within the scopeof the act.

Such persons can choose their own course in any ap-proved cOllege whether in their own state or not.

Eligible persons are assured of one year of education.They may obtain as many additional years of education asthey have given to the service, but not to exceed 4 years.

Applicants who entered the service before their twenty-fifth birthday are eligible for these advanlages.

Such applicants found eligible for this program will re-ceive $50.00 a month U they are single and $75.00 If theyhave dependents. Out of this they are to take care of theirboard and lodging. The Government will pay for tuition,books, fees and medical, not however to exceed $500.00 a year.

Application for admission to college should be madethrough the applicant's home state Veterans Administration.Bureau.

Japs --Suckers for Change of Pace

Southwest Pacific (CNS)-The Jap is "a sucker for achange of pace, II according to Lt. Gen. George C. Kenney,who has seen the enemy in action both here and in the SouthPacific.

Writing in the r agazine "Air Forces:' Gen. Kenney saidthat the Allies have discovered that the enemy Is baffled byany new type of attack. "Finally, he figures it out and isready for it, II the general wrote. "But by that time we haveit changed.II

When Lt. Og) William E. Lamoreaux, USNR,hltthedeckwith his Hellcat in the most recent m1l1enic landing, he notonly moved the Fighters into a tie with the Bombers in thenumber of landings made, but assured the present Air Groupof at least one more thousandth landing than their predeces-sors. Since Ensign Ray Ferguson of Fighting 17 notchedthe first thousandth landing, the Bombers, by virtue of theirconsistent successions, grabbed a comfortable lead for thehonors that wasn't even threatened until Lt. Lamoreaux'feat of recent date. Two torpedo pilots in the present AirGroup have also scored, and now they are only two behindin the total recorded.

Bill Lamoreaux, better known as "Lum, "or "Lumgutz;'ever since his cadet days at Corpus, is possessed of thatpriceless philosophy that no one has more fun than people,and that anyone who says this isn't a great life is crazy.Certainly he possesses 'not a care in the world, and his in-

,[ectlous disposition has lightened the sky with laughterwherever he has traveled.

Born in Hoquiam, Washington, he moved to Pasadena 1n1932, where his father continued bis law practice and Billand his brother, John, now a PFC with the marines on CapeGloucester tried to interest themselves in the pursuit ofhigher learning at South Pasadena High School and then atthe University of California. Beginning with a pre-medcourse, he later decided against his future as a doctor andgraduated with an A.B. degree in 1942. His five years incOllege were interrupted by a brief career as a loggermanat a Northern California lumber camp.

At Cal he rowed on the crew for three years, being amember of the last eight to Journey to the PoughkeepsieClassic; was a noted Thespian whUe a member 01 the select

HSkull and Keys" Society; but where be really pined last-ing fame was in his invention of the "McGurk,' a.lustyconcoction guranteed to make men bark like a dog and faU

No.8. . The MoroGunShanghai Jones, the Sturdy's leading bosun's mate was

what might he called a collector. He had a fine collection 01females. His collection of seagoing cusswords was knownthroughout the China Station. In port, he was oIten foundcollecting more than his share 01 trouble. But the collectionhe was really proud to own was the large assortment 01knives, spears, clubs and guns which he had plckedup hereand there on his travels. In fact, we all thought he couldeasUy pick a fight with the ship's armorer and win, weaponfor weapon.

Well, there was one particular Oriental firearm whlcbShanghai didn't have but really had a yen for and that was aMoro gun. The Moros are the picturesque Mohammedanpeople who Itve In the Southern Phlltpplnes. They dresslike something out 01 the Arabian Nights, average fourwives apiece In their harems, fight just for the love 01fight.lng, and kill the infidel unbeltevers with rtghtous joy. How-ever, the American government had let it be noised aboutthat killing was not socially correct and to make sure hadtaken firearms away from the Moros. Nevertheless, theystill had their horrtbly sharp wavy bladedkrtsses or swordsand they persisted In making guns 01 their own. The gunswere rather crude alfalrs usually consisting 01 a piece 01pipe for a barrel, a hand carved wooden stock and a sltdedevice to move the barrel back and forth. Funny part 01 theguns was the lack 01 a trigger. The Moro loaded Ibe darnedthing wllb the primer showtng In back. To set It oft, bepulled Ibe barrel back sharply until Ibe cartridge primerhit against a na11 head set In a metal cup. Naturally suchguns were not very accurate, but since most feuding wasconducted at arm's length, that made no dUference. Troublewas that Ibe guns otten blew up sending bolb atlacker andattacked to the Prophet's heaven wherethey could continuethe scrap.

ShanghaI wanted one of those guns, and badly. So whenwe pulled Into Zamboanga on patrol, be was all set andanxious for a little shores Ide Investigation. The guns wereIllegal and would he hard to get. However, Zamboanga,perched on the southwest tip of Mindanao, had a large Moropopulation who on occasion employed bolb krlsses and gunsto settle arguments. Sometimes they even went amuck or"juramentado,JJ running around insanely untU somebody puta couple 01 rounds 01 lead In them wlib a forty-five. Youmay not know it, but the reason the America..o Army changedfrom a thlrty-etght pistol to a forty-five was just that whilefighting \be'Moros nolblng smaller than a forty-five slugcould be depended on to stop these fanatics.

Somehow or other, Tubby W11son,ourchiefwatertender,managed to get ashore ahead 01 ShanghaI and I. We landedat Zamboanga's municipal pier and started to walk up the palmlined avenue leading to the matn part 01 the town. It was justwhen we arrived by Ibe postofttce , not two hundred yardsfrom the waterfront, that we came on an amazing bit of luck.

"You want to buy some verry good pearls, Joe 1" aheavily accented native voice hissed in our ears.

We turned and encotntered a Moro, all togged out inflowing red pantaloons, a wide Singapore belt, green silk

jacket, and a r.ellow turban on top 01 which was a nativestraw bat or fsadak." This gent was smiling a very un-wholesome smile since, like most Moros he chewed betel-nut which had turned his teelb completely black while leav-Ing his liPs a brilliant crimson.

ShanghaI whirled arOund and whipped out an answerwithout preliminary.

uNo. 1 don't want any pearls. What I want is a Mora

l

gun. How about It, All Saba, can do?" Shanll".'!t asked.f'Eet Isa deeleecult thing you ask, sir,' the Moro re...

plied, furtively looking around as II the constabulary werealready alter him.

But Shanghai was Insistent. The Morn finally admittedhe knew 01a gun but that he couldn't get It until that night.U ShanghaI would meet him In Pershing Square at ten thatnight, he could bave \be gun provided he had the pesos. Theprice was stW.

The Morothen told us that he was a ffdatu" or chief andthat his name was Datu Alt ltan. He didn't look like much01 a chief to me, but then you never can tell about those guys.

We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering aroundtown. ShanghaI bought a couple 01 the famous Zamboangablack coral bracelets he Ibought would go well with a IItUeSpanIsh number he knew up In ManUa. We had a few SanMiguel beers In Ibe Overseas Club and then went out to LlmKee's restaurant for a good Chinese chow. It was verynearly ten o'clock when we started toward Persb1ngSquare.Shangbal was happy at Ibe thought of Ibe gun.

Shanghai was so bappy, In fact, that when we accidental-ly bumped Into Tubby he didn't even greet him wlib an In-sult but just asked him to come on along.

The palm trees In Pershing Square were casting longeerie shadows in the light at a half moon. There wasn't asoul around except us as we walted for All )(an.

Somebody hissed at us from behind a banyan tree. Wewalked around It cautiously and bumped Into Ibe sltnklngfigure 01 Aliltan.

f'Shll 'ave de gun, sar. Geeve me de money." AUspoke uneasily.

uSlack off on your main sheet, fellow. I'm not puttingout any pesos until I see what I'm buying:' grunted ShanghaI.

Shanghai took the gun In his hands and started to exam-Ine It as carefully as possible In the moonlight. He broughtthe barrel up close to his face and I saw his eyes narrowing.He looked a bit puzzled.

Then It happened. Aliltan let out a terrified shriek andstarted to run.

We had our annual physical drill the other clay, and thistime it turned out td be something unique in the files of ourphysical exercise. We learned to do a two-hand militarypress (usually done with the ISO-lb. weight), the two. handclean and jerk, and the two-hand snatch, wbich, to you foot-ball players, baseball men and plough jockeys, are a seriesof names applied to the three standard Olympic lilts. Alsowe migbt add that we used a strict twelve-pound weight onall these menial tosses. Instructor in this workout was JoeDouglas Case, BM2c of the R-3 Division, who is the masterof an assortment of weights large enough to stagger the lay-man's imagination.

Taking the pbysical drill at this particular season ollheyear was purely accidental, we assureyou. We had foughtoff the noonday heat long enough to make our way back tothe alter starboard boat pocket, the current Case gymnasi-um, merely to look in on a typical session. We became sofasc:inated by the aye rage-sized men who were tossing bigweights around, that wedecided it was a cinch. It was; andeven as we lie here in bed and peckout this story about JoeCase, we look upon it as a warm memory: Exercise, 1944.

Weight lilting to you and me is ltlUe more than a strug-gle between muscle and matter, and in our case U'sprobablethat matter will triumph in a majority of the attempts musclemakes to conquer it. But to Joe Case U's an art. He com-bines the elements of strength, agility, and sportman's apt-Itude with explosive power, and he comes out with a 180-lb.>weight directly over his head. He does it with such ease~t even we were fooled by the apparent simplicity of thefe~. But once you try the job yourseU you'll see what wemean by strength, agility, sportman's aptitude and explosivepower.

All these qualities began developing in Case's lile whenhe was quite young, and now, at the age of 24, he has wonfirst place In four out of seven weight-lilting tournamentshe has entered. Among his winnings are the crown of citychamp in hometown Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1938 and 1939;Southern champion in \he 132-lb. class In 1939; and thewin_ner of a city cup offered by the YMCA In Honolulu early thisyear. He began these activities pretty much as a hobby, buthe hopes someday that they will assist in making a placefor him In a profession. A profession of gymnasium In-

Page 3

stroetor in some city or school, Case would term Ideal.According to hi. own word, be doesn't see how a man couldcount exercise as wort--even weight Itfting. It's such apleasant profession, pastime or what-have-you, that Casecould do the job seven days a week, so he told U8.

> But the weight-lilting has a tributary hackground. Box-ing was the first field of endeavor Case tried out seriously,and he fought his first match at the age of fIlteen. That wasback in 1935, and in the succeeding three years he put Inappearances in rings in Tennessee, Florida, Alabama,Georgia and MississippI. In a long string of fights he lostbut six, and he earned a reputation throughout the South asa gond lightweight for the curtain raiser's position on box-Ing cards. In 1938 he hurt his leg while eagaged in trainingexercises, and tf injury is a wrecker to some people, itturned out to be a boon.to Joe Case. WhIle Injured he shlltedfrom boxing to weight-lifting, a change he made upon theadvice of a man named Leon Green, a weight-lifter of na-tional reputation and vice-president of the National A.A. V.,Weight Lilting Division. Green told him that he thought hisInjured leg would heal rapidly II he took up light weight-lUt-Ing, so Case gave It a turn. SubsequenUy Green becameinterested In the youth's possibilities and encouraged himto give the weights serious consideration alter his Injuredleg healed. Case did, and ever since he has found manyhappy hours playing with hWldred-poWld (and up) weights,just as a kid mighl play with ABC blocks.

In 1939 Case joined the Navy, was trained at the l'boot"camp In NorfoUt and later assigned to \he U.S.S. QuIncy forfurther assignment. He went aboard the V.8.8. Wyomingfor still further assignment, and in 1840 he wound up on theV.S.S. New York, In which be spent a year. From 1940 to1941 Case was aboard the U.S.S. Ranger. In 1941 he wentto the V.S.S. Ludlow, a new destroyer, and he remainedwith her for two years. Late In 1942 he fought with his shipIn the invasktn of North Africa, and the Ludlow bluejacketswere commended by their commanding officer for thei&'_in-dividual gallantry ofl Feda1a, where their ship was hit by aFrench cruiser. She came through In fiylng style and COD-Ilnued her beat which consisted of plying convoy routesover the North AUantic to Alrlca and to the UDited KIngdom.

Five coxswains, including Joe Case, were transferredfrom the Ludlow to the BUNKER HILL. The other men areBrad Williams of the Third Division, M!lte StoUa of theFourth Dh1sion, Dan Kaufman of the Third Division, andl'skt" Ostroski of the First Division. Case was first as-signed to the Second Division, where he served under ahometown veteran, Chief Boatswain's Mate Henderson, whowas later transferred to the U.S.S. Bataan. Case becameleading boatswain's male of the Second DIvision last falland he served in that capacity until March, 1944, when hewas transferred to the R-3 Division, the Master-at-Armsforce, wbere he 8ttll holds forth as petty oUicer in charpof the forward messing compartment.

Teacher Case still finds numerous students to ftll hisgymnasium during afternoon workouts. Among them, heconfided to us, '--rhere are always a lot of new faces." Allof which we are deflnite1.y prepared to believe, for, like us.most people just don't get the arl of weight-lilting. It lookstoo simple to the casual passer~by.

Last week he met a buddy of his who wasvisiting the ship, a Lt. Comdr. of a Carrier Squadron, who10 years ago served a hitch with him In the CCCs. Theywere both surprised to see each other once again alter 10years had passed by.

The BUNKER HILL'S inquiring Fotographer will selectone question each week, submitted by the crew at large, andquery five men chosen at random on the subject. Two dollarswill be awarded in cash each week to the originator of thequestion used. A convenient box will be placed In the ship'slibrary to receive the questions.

Most of us carry pictures of those we love around withus and the balance on our locker doors. But John Hagman,PFC, Chicago's contribution to the Marine Detachment,carries 7 very sweet, pretty and darling pictures of himselfaround on his person depleting himself In various stages

When certain types of bullets are fired at some kindsof targets, the depth of their penetration Increases withdistance, up to a certain point. For instance, during re.;.cent tests in which pointed bullets were fired into moistsand, the penetratton was ten inches at fifty feet, fow1eenInches at 300 feet and sixteen Inches at 1,500 leet.

We have an airplane hangar down here in Texas that'sso big it makes every other Doe 1n the U. S. look like adoll's house. Its dimensions are secret but you'll get anidea of its size from the fact that no planes except long-range bombers can taxi from one end of it to the other with-out refueling.

We have to maintain two meterology departments at ourfield-one to forecasf-weather conditions outside and theother for the Instde of the hangar. The tatter has a tougb job,for huge clouds accumulate under the roof and the suddenroar of an engine often brtngs on a cloudburst.

We'ye heard a rumor that one half of the building Is to beturned Into a 24-bour-a-day practice bombtng range, but Idoubt It because of the constant threat of rain or fog. Lastweek a new pursuit ship, on a secret test hop In the hangar,ran toto fog and clouds and was lost for three days.

'Tor the luna Neptune, do ya see wbat I seel" Tubbygasped and pointed.

Did we .ee It? I'll .ay we did. Cbarglng down on uswas a white clad figure bowling and .creamlng flendi.hly.I .hook In my boots. No wonder Ail bad taken off withoutbl. pe.os. The man cbarglng down on USwas brandl.hlng athree-foollongwa.., bladedkrl..; a Moro fanatic gone amuck I

The Juramentado came right for the three of us,wan",his knife. Before we bad Ume to dodge behind a tree, hewas upon us.

Wissbi Thekrl...wungln a murderous arc right whereShanghai'. head bad been a .econd ago. Shanghai bad duckedlust In Ume.

Before the Mora could recover from his knife stroke,Shangbal ._ up brandl.hlng All Kan'. gun by the barrel.Then began the .trange.t duel I ever heard of. Shanghaiwas poking and parrying with the old gun wblle the mad-eyedMoro kepi .wlnglng with hi. knife. Tubby and I couldn'leven get close.

Clang' Shanghai'. gun.tock hit thekrls.'bladeandthekrls. went fiylng. Dam I The gun .tock crashed on the Moro'.head before he could pull another knife. UumphlTubbylumpedon the Moro'. belly and sat there. Ab-h-hIThe I(oro.lghedand pas.ed out. Who wouldn't with Tubby .Ittlng on him?

The fight was over and we sal quleUy gathering ournerve. unW the constabulary put In Its appearance. Thegendarme. were plenty amazed to find out how Shangbs1 bad.Iopped the Moro. According to them, the fanatic bad al-ready killed three people before running Into us.

Before turning the Moro over to the pollee, Shanghaipulled a I(oro gun fromthemaJl'.backwbereltwas.trapped.I saw then that Ail Kan'. gun was completely broken. MY-way the Juramentado's IUDwas a better one.

We .tarted back 10 the landing, very, very thoughtfulafter our close call. Tubby looked .ort of embarras.ed.

"O.K., Tubby, unship your carlO and teU us,"Sbangbatsaid wearUy.

Tubby began: '"gotta confes.lon to make, Shanghai.Tbat gun Ail Kan bad wasn't a real Moro gun. You .ee, Iknew we were gonna put In here at Zamboanp, so IflguredIt would be a good gag to make an Imitation Moro gun In themachine shop and then palm It off 00 you as the real thing.I went a.hore with It In the flr.t boat today and hired Ail In

the market to come up and dicker with you. Then you poand .ave my life from that knife artist and right now I mfeelln' plenty low about the trick I played. "

uDing hao, pal, II was Sbangba1's quiet reply. ''1 knewthat gun was a fake as .oon as I looked at the barrel. It wasthe same stock pipe I saw you toUn' around last week. Whr,you didn't even get the .tock number off the end of It.Tbat'llteach you to go fooling around with dangerous wild men.Besides, 11I didn't save your life, there wouldn't have beenanybody left on board to fight with."

Strange mild words coming from Shanghai. Gue.. he.0 glad to get the real gun from the dead Moro, he for-
