 Charles A. Polack, captain, >o testi- fled in the United States District Court today and added that he in turn had taken his orders from the German government. The damage to 1he vessel was done on the night of January 3l. three days before diplo matic relations between the United States and Germany were broken off Under examination. Captain Polaek said that on that day he had received Crders to render his vessel un3ea- worthy from an unnamed official ct the German embassy al Washington.

Captain Polack, however. repeated that he had reference only 10 his own vessel.
