U. s. Submarine Base, New London,
Conn, Sept. 2S-(By A. P.)-The ele-
ments played against those who
sought to bring the submarine S-51
from her bed at the bottom of the At
lantic today and. for the time being,
won their fight. -
A heavy wind and rolling sea put q
stop to the rescue work and what
had been given as the dead line of
time for the 33 men to live-72 hours
after the disaster-was passed with
out word or sign to buoy UP the
hopes of those at the naval station
who waited and hoped without hopa
that some of their shipmates might
still be alive. Even after the 70 hours
had passed, they refused to release
the straws of hope. Perhaps the an.
would last longer; perhaps air being
pumped into the vessel in the efforts
to raise her would keep them alive.
But they admitted that they had no
basis for their hopes and that every3
thing was "guesswork." :

IF we didn't have hopes that some
of the men were alive, we wouldn't be

civil engineer formerly in the en-
ploy of the Central Maine Power
Company. 1t was while making sur
veys for the new power development
of that company that he became in

year.

acting unruly" for several days and
tonight asked Chief Henry Hatha-
way of Townsend to talk to him."

peared at the home the boy drew a

Two ADDITIONAL
PROPOSALS MADE IN
FRENCH DEBT TALKS

Washington, Sept 2S-(AP)-Al-
ternating waves of optimism and pes
simism rolled over the French debt
negotiations today, but after series
of meetings between the negotiators
two more suggested plans for settle
ment were visible.
Two joint sessions of the commits
sions representing the United States
and France were held, and each of
them produced proposal-the first.
by France. suggesting terms regard
ed by the French as more acceptable
than the original offer calling for a
$25, 006, 900 first payment and the sec
ond, a counter proposal by Secretary
Mellon containing figures described
as perhaps more favorable than those
accorded Great Britain.
Tonight NJ. CaillauX, after sending
his statistical experts to the treasury
to confer with Under Secretary Win
ston, sought to make an engagement
with Secretary Mellon to talk matters
ever personally, a method which the
French apparently have favored from
the beginning. He called at the treas
ury but Mr.. Mellon had departed for
the day.
The American commissioners frank
1y admitted that there was still q
great difference in the views of the
two groups. and the French entered
today's conferences apparently doubt
full, but later they apparently were
more cheerful.
Another joint session of the COM
missions has been called for tomor-
row, but the indications tonight were
that henceforth more Of the negotia-
lions will be carried on by small
groups.
It was the belief that the private
talks between NJ Caillaux and Secre-
tary Mellon. as well as between the
other members of the two commits
sions. were likely to provide the
methods by which an understanding
would be reached. IL settlement Is
to come from the present conferences.
Following out this idea. Under Sec
rotary Winston In his conference with
the French experts tonight made an
effort to show them where their CAL
culation of French capacity to pay
fell short Of the American conten-
lions.

Ends statement follows:
while I was stationed on the cap
log of the wharf at the side of the
SIS City of Rome assisting in docking
the ship, one of the men, who was
rescued from the submarine Ssh,
was spoken to in my presence by a
young man In naval uniform, who
asked him who was on watch in the
submarine S-51 and the answer given
by the one who was rescued from the
submarine was three rockies were on
watch. The young man in uniform
turned away in disgust"
The Ocean Steamship Company

statement from Lieutenant Com
mander II. A. Flanagan, executive
officer of the submarine base at New
London, denying that inexperienced
officers manned the Ssh or formed
