Simon LAKE Tells
Of RESCUE PLANS
Thinks His Submarine Idea Is
Practical

Bridgeport Aug. "a R-Ready to
demonstrate that imprisoned sailors
aboard disabled submarines can be
rescued in a quick and practical
manner. Simon Lake Of Milford,
submarine designer. and Sloan
Danenhower. a naval salvage en-
gineer. will launch the Defender. an
obsolete type of submarine, about
September l. here. 1t was announced
today.
The Defender was built by Mr..
Lake more than 20 years ago as one
Of number of submarines of the
same type ordered by Austria and
Russia. International complications
presented delivery of the boat. the
last of the type that was built.
Mr.. Lake proposes to use the De-
fender In an effort to prevent fu-
S-4 and S-51.
The Lake proposal is to use sub
marines similar to the Defender as
working base for rescue opera
tons by submerging them along
side sunken submarines.
The Defender is equipped with a
special compartment from which a
door opens into the sea. Late sub
marine models are not so equipped.
On the event that submarine is
disabled under water, according to
Mr.. Lake, the Defender would travel
to the point above which it rested
and submerge close to it. The COM
partment OF the Defender from
which the door opens into the sea
would then be put under air pres
sure. Divers would then walk out
and air lines would be attached to
the disabled craft and the rescue
work begin.
