t Englewood Officer, Home With Citation, Says!Speedy Craft Halted Reinforcement Attempts
, f j
"The Japs are tough, competent and greatly underrated,"26-year-old Lieutenant John Kearney, U. S. N. R., who spent!
lalmost a year as a PT boat skipper in the Solomons and New!I Georgia Islands, said yesterday 'at his home in West Engle-1iwood.
Kearney said that the foe is a well equipped and well|i temed fighter and will not be defeated as easily as some|people would like to believe. '
AMONG FIRSTA Presidential Unit citation was
[his reward tor being a member ofi the first squadron in the battle of•Guadalcanal which attempted to•break up ship formations trying togland Jap reinforcements.
Until the coming of the PT boatsi in this famous battle of the Pacificiwar, the Japs ships used to unloadiwith regularity troops and suppliesion Guadalcanal. But with the s•rival of these swift, maneuveral 1I craft the Japanese schedule was 1|erally shot to pieces.
The tiny boats, with crews of frt| 8 to 10 men, dash out from 1•darkened shore, playing hide a•seek with enemy searchlights, i•as close as possible to the Jap vigsels and then let go with torpedc
Kearney said only once had•been caught in a Japanese seari•light, which caused a barrageafire. He managed to evade it witlout loss.
"I did see Lieutenant Hugh R<iinson have his PT boat's bow bioI ofi with a 5-inch shell, but the biI was going at such terrific speed tll i t kept the front end up until t•rest of the boat and crew got b!fto the baso unharmed," he said.
"The only thing we did that 1lean say in the New J3eorgia _caIpaign was we aided in the pushIthe Islands."
The young skipper said there wasilittle amusement on the islandsI other than that provided by the•men themselves. "We did play cards]land we had an old projector on the• island and we showed an old third-Irate movie."
On his return to the States he1 did not find it very different except•for the New York City dimout. Theipublic attitude, he said, is good butislightly optimistic.I "The one American feature whichI doesn't go over too well with theI men out there are the strikes. They1 don't like it."I He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.1•Joseph. Kearney of 1167 West Julia•Street. His brother, Corporal JosephIP. Kearney, is a member of the§Air Corps.1 He received his training on theIrj S. Prairie State in New York, andI at Torpedo School at Newport. HeI was in the first class of the MevilleI PT School in Rhode Island. One of•his classmates was motion pictureI star Robert Montgomery.' In Janu-iary 1942, he received his commis-Ision. He spent 3 months in Pana-]ma and in October, 1942, was sentJto the Pacific.I Kearney was graduated fromI Dickinson High School In Jersey•pity and the University of Alabama.
