Captain William Ketcham, commanding Company I in Vandegrift's battalion, was nicked in the arm and leg by snipers' bullets, but was merely contemptuous of the Japs' aim: "Shot at me twelve times and barely broke the skin with two bullets," said he.

Whirling the wheel resolves the disks into one tone. Disks are added or subtracted until the color appearing on the wheel matches that of the sample. Then the number and color-designations of the disks are wired to the receiver, who has a disk-&-wheel...
...American Airways has hired Ketcham to decorate the interiors of the Clippers now being built for the South American and Pacific runs. He is proceeding on the theory that certain colors are conducive to nausea, while others breed "confidence and cheer." Cheerful green is the keynote for furniture, sheets and blankets.
