Then Littler, playing his patented, deliberate game, picked up momentum. He birdied the 7th, 11th and 13th holes to draw even with par. The gallery rushed to watch him, and Littler did not let the rubberneckers down. His consistent, steely-nerved game meant the difference. He took the next four holes in par, bogeyed the 18th when a putt fell 2 ft. short, came home with a 1-over-par 281. It was exactly what he needed: Bob Goalby, onetime Darien, Conn., club pro, had finished earlier with a 282. Sanders, playing behind Littler, knew he had to birdie...
...Pacific (CINCPAC), boss of the biggest military contingent in the world (TIME Cover, Jan. 6). At Felt's call are the 373,000 men. 1,000 aircraft and 400 ships of the First and Seventh Fleets, the Fifth and Thirteenth Air Forces, and the Army's 1st, 7th and 25th Infantry Division. Highly mobile and thoroughly trained, the elements of this mighty force need only hear the whistle to move into direct action. If it blows, Major General Donald Weller, Commander of the 3rd Marine Division and an old jungle fighter, will become Commander of Joint Task Force...
Ignored by Yoshikawa, but moored between battleships California and Oklahoma on the night of Dec. 6, was the crack fleet tanker U.S.S. Neosho, as large, new and well manned as any tanker in the fleet. On the morning of the 7th, with 3,000,000 gallons of fuel oil aboard, she rated as a No. 1 priority target. It is not pleasant, even now, to contemplate Neosho and gasoline fueling facilities for the fleet on Ford Island had she been destroyed and Pearl Harbor flooded with millions of gallons of flaming...
Still he did not know of the attack un til he heard the first bombs fall at 0755 hours on the morning of the 7th. "I thought it probably a maneuver, but rose and switched on the shortwave" to get the 8 o'clock news from Radio Tokyo. Twice during the weather forecast, the announcer reported "East wind, rain." That was the code signal indicating an attack against U.S. territory.* Yoshikawa immediately began burning his code books and other intelligence materials. When Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrived that day to pick him up for eventual repatriation, the only...
...World War II specialist in logistical problems, he drew up plans for the 1942 invasion of Africa, negotiated the German surrender in Italy in 1945, but remained enough of a combat soldier to go to parachute school at 51 and earn the Silver Star under fire while commanding the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. Commander of the U.N. forces in Korea (1955-57), he became Army Vice Chief of Staff in 1957, then Chief of Staff in 1959. Last week President Eisenhower announced that sometime Clean Sleeve Lemnitzer. 61, would be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
