PAN-AMERICAN
DELEGATES WORK
UNDER HANDICAP
by United Press Leased Wire

HAVANA, Jan. 31.-Committee
activity in the sixth Pan American
Congress was at q virtual standstill
today while secretaries and translat-
ors. worked overtime to keep pace
with the enormous amount of docu-
mentary work.
Four official languages were rec
ognized, resulting in a large volume
of work for hundreds of secretaries
and helpers assisting during the
congress.
A majority of the conference
delegates planned an excursion to
Mariel, site of the Cuban naval
academy today.
At the present time the biggest
work of the conference has evolved
onto the sub-committees. 1t was
felt that more rapid progress would
be made if the minor difficulties
were ironed out in smaller groups.
The reports of these committees
would be carried to the full com
mittee sessions.
One subcommittee was reported
to be working on a preamble for
the Pan American Union convention
and several subcommittees of pub
lie international law committees

by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3i.-The
Jones Ship Bill was passed today by
the Senate and now goes to the
house.
The measure would restrict the

selling government vessels and
would encourage government oper-

agreed will prevent sale of ships
except in extreme cases.
1t also pledges support of Con-
gress in carrying out an expansion
policy so obsolete merchant ships
may be placed and new one built.
1t instructs the shipping board to
submit a plan of expansion to con-
gress and promisese appropriation to
carry out such program.
Mr.. Coolidge has maintained the
government is losing too much mon
ey operating ships and that all
SHOULD be sold to private interests.
Ills ship supporters in Congress
have intimated that he might veto
the bill if it is passed by the house.

NAVY REPORTS
So SAFELY ON
WAY TO PORT
Missing Submarine Is
Proceeding To Cuban
Base.
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan 31.-The
submarine S-3, with its crew of Al
officers and men, is safe.
The submersible, sister ship of the
i'll fated S-4 was located at o 'clock
last night, ploughing its way south
ward about $50 miles due east of
Palm Beach, Fla, after it had been
missing since Saturday.
At that time an armada of % res
cue vessels was making a search from
the north and south in search of
the S3, which had become separat-
ed from the remainder of a fleet of
submarines proceeding from Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, to Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, for winter maneuvers.
The navy department was still
without word today as to the reas-
on for the S-3's long silence, not a
word having been heard from the
craft between its disappearance and
its discovery in the Bahamas.
At 1:25 a. IN. the navy made its
announcement which removed the
ration s fears for the safety of the
S-3 s crew. The announcement said
!, merely the submarine had been loc-
ated at S p. m. at latitude 1890;
longitude 74:07 and was proceeding
under its own power to Guantana-
mo Bay.
Rear Admiral Frank II. Brumbv,
commander of the patrol force of
which the S-3 was part, made the
report to the navy. He had received
the word from the commander of
the submarine division which had
joined in the search together with
the airplane carrier Saratoga and
numerous other naval vessels.
Brumby's message lifted the ten
sion that had been evident at the
navy department since sundown
Sunday, when the S-3 vanished in a
rain squall and heavy seas during a
storm 100 miles southeast of Cape
Hatteras, graveyard of the Allan
tic. -
81 am elated,' said Admiral
Hughes, chief of navy operations,
when he learned the S-3 was safe.
'"But l am not surprised, [ conten-
ded all along the vessel was pro.
ceeding to Guantanamo.
Despite the navy's justified con.
i fidence that the S-3 was safe, the
department had taken no chances of
another tragedy such as befell the
81 a month ago off Provineetown,
Mass.
Brumby's flagship, the Camden
set out with six submarines to searcn
from Cape Hatteras south.
The carrier Saratoga yesterday
set out with its IS planes to sweep
broad expanse of ocean for sight
of the missing submarine.
A squadron of II destroyers and
three light cruisers was steaming
north to join the search when word
was received that the S-3 had been
found.
