normal water landing. Other aircraft
circled the spot, seeing much debris,

floated for about three minutes. A
crew member of the other aircraft
reported seeing a possible survivor.
The heavy swell of the sea and debris
made it difficult to tell if there were
any survivors.

is a cannoneer with the 161st Field
Artillery battalion which recently
marked its 600th day in combat by
shelling German positions in Italy
from placements overlooking the Po
valley.
After serving in Northern Ireland
and England, the battalion was put
ashore at Oran, Northern Algeria, and
committed to combat fai Tunisia Feb
17, 1948. The 161st’s intense artillery
barrage at Fondouk Pass contributed
greatly to withdrawal of Axis forces
east of Kairouan and its bombard*
menu at the batUe of Hill 609 helped
speed the destruction of the German
armies in Africa.
The 161st landed on the Paestum
beach on Italian D-Day, Sept 9, 1941,
among early waves of infantry assault
troops, and immediately brought fire
on German tanks only 300 yards away.
Some of the gun crews were driven
from their poets temporarily by enemy
machine gun fire.

The following Associated Press
story, appearing in the Columbia
State last Friday^ March 16, is of
considerable interest to the people
of Kershaw county:
"The house has pending a resolu
tion by Rep. Hydrick of Orangeburg,
expressing house ‘confidence in the
unquestioned integrity* of Rep. R. M.
Kennedy of Kershaw county and ab
solving him *of any ulterior motive
In, connection with any* legislation
noW before the house.
“Hydrick offered the resolution
after Kennedy had spoken for half an
hour Thursday on a point of personal
privilege in connection with his bill
to re-organlie the Santee-Cooper au
thority.
"Kennedy had termed 'a lie, the Im
plications' of a sentence in a printed
statement issued by C!hairmsn James
H. Hammond of the authority, which
said that ‘it was not until be (Ken
nedy) resigned that he asked tlie
(Santee-Cooper) board to give the
(its insurance) business exclusively
to one man, Mr. Kennedy.’
"The former Santee-Croper employe
said that the printed statement, Is
sued St a Judiciary committee hear
ing on his bill several weeks ago, was
*sn attempt to make this bill appear
to be based on personality Issues and
to discredit me as a disgruntled
former emitole.
“ ‘Nothing Is further from the
truth. I left Santee-Cooper of my
own volition. The board asked me
to stay^ They later asked_ me to dp.
some work for them, which I did
voluntarily and with only a per diem
recompsose.’
Kennedy, an insurance man, direct
ed Santee-Cooper’s insurance matiers,

Sooth (Carolina Association of Insur

throughout the State. After resign
ing, Kennedy was requested by the
Board of Dlreetora ot the Authority
to coatinne to act aa Insurance eon-
anltant. Later they decided to em-
ploy the Association aa sole broker.
Kennedy 1079 that his proposition to
the Board was made only after he
had given notice to the Association ot
his. Intention to do so. When adklsed
of the selection of ^e Assoctatkm, he
furnished Mr. Boyle of the Associ
ation aH of the material that he had
compiled and wired his brokers in
Chicago to oooperats with the Asso
ciation.
Kennedy saya, "I leaned backward
to be f*lr in this matter, and I re
sent this whispering campaign, de
signed to becloud the Issuee Involved
in my bill Such a campaign was ex
pect^. however, ss sections of the
bill affect the most sensitive pocket
nerve in South Carolina. My purpose
in rising to s point of personal privi
lege is to have the bill considered on
its merits."
The following House resolution ex
pressing confidence in the integrity
and. sincerity of Mr. Kennedy, was
passed unanimously by the House.
"Be it resolved by the House of
Representatives of the State of South
Carolina; that we have listened with
intereet to the statement of Honor
able R. M. Kennedy made this day in
reference to his connection with San-
