Too Cold Today

ProNincetowu, Mass, Jap.S NP}-- Although q calm sea ran off Prov 1ncetown today, freezing tempera- lures delayed and threatened to halt salvaging work on the sunkan sub marine S-4. The diving operations were put over until the afternoon when three tests of the water. made with divers helmets, indicated that the temperature below the surface was much too cold for prolonged work
 As the temperature of the air mounted slightly officers directing the operations expressed a hope that water enough so divers could be sent down.
 All of the vessels in the salvage fleet took up stations near the scene Of the disaster today. The diving ship Falcon anchored 100 yards off the spot where the S-4 went down because her mooring buoys were covered with ice and the lines stiff from the cold water. Captain Henry Hartley. commanding the Falcon, feared that the mooring lines would snap if he tied his ship to the buoys, which arc almost directly above the sunken submarine.
 4 The submarine tender Bushnell. with the S-6 alongside. the mine- sweeper Lark and the tug Wandanl< were anchored near the Falcon.

 Both men suffered almost corres- bonding injuries. hospital authorities stated today. They have possible fractured skulls and numerous lacerl alton on the head and extremities, while Walsh has also a possible frac- tured wrist. N-ray photographs were taken this morning.

 The radiator of the car was driven into concave shape by the. blow against the pole as if the shell flowed around the obstacle.
