Several Other questions had been
put and answered before Rear Admiral
Richard III. jackson, president Of the
court, notified the witness that testi.
mpny had been presented establishing
Comdr. Bayliss legally as a'defendant
before the court.
The incident caused momentary
sensation In morning OF somewhat
routine evidence and 1t was some
time before those present grasped the
real significance OF the presiding OFF,
GERS statement.
While Admiral Jackson explained
later that the changing jof the status
Of the witness was purely formal and
rendered obligatory by his own testi-
mony, Comdr. Bayiiss and his counsel,
Comdr. Leroy Reinburg. commanding
the Third Coast Guard Destroyer
Squadron, requested and finally OBJ
tanned an adjournment of the court
until Monday in order to prepare
themselves to meet the new situation
In statement issued after the
court rose, Comdr. Reinburg said his
purpose was to confer between this
afternoon and Monday with his chief.

The examination of Comdr. Bayiss,
mp to the point where he was named
as O. defendant. had dealt with the
mission OF the PauIding in Cape Cod
waters and the exact course she fol.

collision.
The mission OF the Taulding on the
day OF the accident, her comma nder

Ingram said the door of the control
room opened easily, and that the com.
partnent was flooded. He found the
ia ssn geway clear almost to the for.
ward end, but wreckage near the Of.
ficers wardroom prevented him from
reaching the forward door. Ingram
said he saw no bodies In the control
room. He discovered a piece OF board
about 2is feet long and n foot and a
half wide close to the control room
door. The board was hauled aboard
the Falcon. but officers were unpre.

Officers of the salvage fleet said the
task of the divers, now would be to
clear up. the wreckage in the control

valves there preparatory to attaching
air lines to the control room and en-.
CINE and motor compartments for un
watering the sunken submarine.
As the bodies of the 10 victims
recovered today were brought to the
surface. the flags flown by the yes

aboard the e. s, s. Bushnell and

PRovINCETOWN,- Mass. January
THE sunken submarine S.4 gave
up the bodies of 10 more victims to-
day. making a total of II. that have
been recovered out Of the crew of 10
aboard the craft when 1t was rammed
and sunk by the Coast Guard de.
stroyer Paulding three weeks ago
today.
Nine OF the bodies recovered today
were found in the engine room. as
were the seven that had been removed
from the wreck previously. The tenth
was found just inside the door of the
motor compartment. The bodies were
recovered by Is divers. working IN live
relays Of three men each. who CARRIED
on tne.c search from morr:..E until
night.
Wait for Raising.
: Officers of the salvage fleet tonight
expressed doubt that any more bodies
would be removed from the wreck
until after the submarine has been
raised Divers reported it unlikely
that additional bodies remained I'm the
engine room and that while there
might be others in the motor compart
ment they would not be removed I'M
less they were found to be In such
positions as to interfere with the work
ofsthe divers who are preparing the
submarine for unwatering. SO that 1t
can be raised by pontoons.
II was generally agreed by salvage
officers that the engine room had not
been flooded until divers let in water
in entering the wreck. and that the
victims had not been drowned. but
had probably died from cholorne gas
poisoning.
All of the bodies were in good con
dition of preservation. although one
was found to have bad brufse on the
face and another large bump on the
side Of the head.
Raw Potato In Pocket.
One of the bodies was dressed In a
heavy leather jacket. IN the pocket Of
which WIS found a half-eaten raw pc
tao. Another was clothed only in
cotton underwear. one sock and one
shoe. The rest all were dressed in
blue denim.
Divers Thomas Eadie, William Carr

The ear also begins as a pocket,
in the first giIl-cleft. This sinks
into the head until its outer open
ing Is closed by the tympanum
or eardrum. A rare anomaly is
an individual with two, or even
three, external ear openings; these
represent the second, and third
gill-clefts. In some fishes the
opening remains: their ear in pri-
mararily balancing organ. Our
equilibrium sense organ is also
located in the inner ear; it our
semilunar canals are destroyed,
We cannot balance ourselves.
We turn our head toward
sounds or cup our hands behind
our ears; our ancestors turned
their ears. We have vestiges Of
ear muscles, as do apes. Our
external ears are also degenerate,
as are those OF the orang and
gorilla. Some ears are small and
lie tight against the head. as in
the orang; some are large and
stand out, as do those Of the
chimpanZee.
At the eighth month the rim or
helix of the fetal ear begins to
fold in-an additional sign OF de-
generacy. But the tip persists
and generally may be felt, often
may be seen, near the middle OF
the infolded helix. It is called

out its vestigial character.
