destroyer Hull at San Diego, It was

the loss, but final action has been sus'
pended. pending the discovery Of th'
Japanese.
Testimony in the ease showed a Jap
anese and a Filipino were stewards
on the destroyer. They disappeared
after the loss. No trace Of them hal
been found. Possession of the volum'
