WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. B.-tRl
The three men taken out Of the
submarine S-4 have been identified
by finger print experts Of the bureau
OF navigation as Lieutenant Com
mander r. X. Jones, Lieutenant Jo-
seph Mckinley, and Chief Machinists'
Mate Aron Albert Hodges.
Jones, the commander Of the yes
sci, lived at H~alethorpe, Maryland,

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 5.-FS
Three bodies of victims Of the sink
ing Of the submarine So today were
at the Chelsea naval hospital, near
the Charleston navy yard, scene OF
an investigation OF the disaster.
Recovered yesterday In the depths
off P~rovincetown, the bodies were
brought to the hospital and q guard
of marines was detailed TO honor
them. One body was identified as
that Of Lieutenant Joseph A. Nc
Ginly of Morristown, Pa, who stuck
to his post in order that a brother
officer assigned to relieve him
might spend Christmas at home.
The bodies came from Province
town aboard the destroyer Maury
after Joseph L. Eiben, the first
diver TO enter the submarine, had
found them, fully clothed, in the
oil-dimmed water that flooded the
engine compartment.
Bodies Preserved
One of the two unidentified
bodies was clothed in the uniform
of a machinists' mate while the
other apparently was a petty Of
ficer. The cold water had left all
three in a good state Of preserva-
ton. The men appeared to have
been drowned rather than s~uffoeat-
ed.
Divers at Pr~ovincetown were
hopeful today that they would be
able to make an early resumption Of
operations. They were forced 70
quit yesterday when weather condi-
tions grew unfavorable.
Three divers who were sent below
after the bodies were found, planned
TO complete exploration OF the en-
CINE room but had to return to the
surface without making further pro-
gress.
To Raise Sub
Their entry into the submarine IS
primarily for the purpose Of seal
ing compartment and adjusting
valves preparatory to the unwater-
ing process which will precede lift
ing operations with pontoons.
Lieutenant Frank L. Worden, COM
mander of the Inflated crafts sis
ter ship, the S-S, testified at the
naval court of inquiry that he be-
lieved the S-4 was just completing
her DAYS work of submerged trial
runs when rammed and sunk by the
coast guard destroyer Paulding on
December IL.
He said he did not believe II
necessary to post a guard ship TO
warn surface craft when a subma-
rine was operating submerged be-
cause it would mean just one addi-
tional ship TO watch and keep clear
of.
