Tarawa Feat Explained By Col. Carlson Pearl llarlxir. Nov. 27—<AP)— I.t. Col. Kvans I-'. Carlson. Marine hero of Nirarauga, Makin and Guadalcanal. explains in three words, "determination. tenacity, courage." how a lew battalions of Leathernecks v.eii1 able to annihilate nearly 4.(MI0 Japanese imperial marines and capture Tarawa, main airba.se in the Gilberts, in "(> hours. "Those boys really did the job," said Carlson, who as an observer landed November 20 with the Marines at Tarawa and made daily trips through machine gun and mortar lire l"> report to the flagship. "The .laps might have exterminated them with an organized counter-offens ve the first night but they couldn't have driven lis off." (Secretary of the Navy Knox said at Washington American losses were heavy but that the enemy's were much heavier.) "The rhiol diMerenec in Wake (a few hundred Mari' es held out for IT days against heavy .lap bombardment) and Tarawa was the determination. tenacity and courage of the defenders. It was by far thc toughest job I've ever seen. II was one of the toughest battles ever fought in the Marine Corps history." Cooperation of warships, in shelling Japan's installations on Tarawa ai'.d the army and navy aerial bombardment played a big part in its capture. Carlson said in an interview. lie particularly praised two destroyers which pushed into a lagoon and fired on enemy rtrong points, from "no to 900 yards off shore. « • M0PP//V& mxst&r 4/ "£"fcV, /t>? , >VtA I HKR ton NORTH CAROLINA Mnvlh cliildv anil mlltl tn ii-; i ,n t i ,-|.
