OFFICER ON TRIAL
IN SHIP GROUNDING
0maha's Personnel Called
in Probe of Neglect Charges
Against Navy Navigator.
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va, October 5.-Mem-
bers OF the crew Of the light cruiser
Omaha were called as witnesses today
in a court-martial investigation Of
charges OF negligence and neglect of
duty" against Lieut.. Comdr. Edgar R.
Winckler, navigator of the vessel,
which went aground OF Castle Island,
in the Bahamas, the night of July 10.
David r. Sword, electrician aboard
the Omaha, was the first witness
called today.
The Omaha remained stranded on
the sandy reef for IL days. She was
pulled off by naval vessels and is now
at the Norfolk Navy Yard undergoing
repairs expected to cost approximately
$2O0,O0
Went Hard Aground.
Lieut.. William N. Nation, officer of
the deck at the time Of the stranding,
testified yesterday that the chart in
the pilot house showed the vessel
was still in safe position At the
time she grounded"
Bearing directly for Castle Island
Light after 1t had. been sighted At
IFS, Nation said, the cruiser con-
tinued on this course at her speed Of
Is knots until both he and Capt.
Howard B. McCleary, commanding
the vessel, had sighted land and Capt.
McCleary, on the bridge at the time,
gave the order to swing to the left at
3:35 O'Clock
One minute later the Omaha went
hard aground.
Steered by Dead Reckoning.
Much Of the testimony yesterday
had to do with whether Capt. Nc
Cleary or Comdr Winckler was in
charge of the ships movements ut
the time of the grounding.
1t developed from Lieut.. Nations
testimony that the ship engaged in
negotiating the channel between the
westward end of Castle Island and the
reefs some S miles distant, was being
steered by dead reckoning.
Nation testified that while the
searchlights. fathometer and range
finders were in order and ready for
operation none Of them was used.
On one occasion, he said, he asked
Capt. McCleary if he wished to use
the nge-finder, but was told that
he did not
Capt. McCleary is scheduled to face
court martial on similar charges
Thursday.

eyes. "Janet! What an idea! But
how could prove that? Woman.
you've had a brilliant idea"
"What about your own theater
in Grannis? There's your oppor-
tunity. It will be opening the
fourth of next month and Leslie
Carleton is all too anxious to get
out Of it."
''That little theater!" Joel
laughed but Janet smiled patient
ly. And thankfully.
The conductor knocked at the
drawing room door. South Sta
ton" he called. The train had ar.
rived at Boston. Here they were
to change for the train to the Cape
and the little theater in Grannis.
Joel Paynter stabbed himself
with the pin with which he was
attempting to fasten gardenias to
the collar Of Janet's coat.
There may not be many more
of these for while, Jan. But I'll
make it up to you. I guess it'll
be hard for you to do without
things. I guess I've spoiled you
for lot Of things"
Spoiled me, how?" Janet hid
her face in the perfumed depths
Of her corsage.
"Well, with big parties, servants
and all that kind of thing" He
tilted her face up until her eyes
met his and he spoke earnestly,
Those aren't the real things, Jan.
Also, there's something else"
Janet waited.
"You see, honey, it's really my
fault. When we were married, I
told you I didn't want a wife. I
said I wanted you to be my sweet
heart. Well, you've lived up to
your part of the bargain, but from
now on I'd like to change the
script. I want a wife. 1 mean I
want you to share my work on an
equal basis, 1 want a little place
for you to take care of and maybe
couple of youngsters.
Janet'S eyes Wldened with the
effort to keep the mistiness out Of
them.
He patted her back awkwardly.
I'm funny woman, she thought,
to be thrilled by a little back pat
ting when I've had so much beau
tiful love making. Some day he'll
call me Old Lady and I'll die of
happiness.
Joel was still speaking, when
we look back over it, Jan. it's been
a lot of fun and now that it's gone
Wen have it to remember and
after a while you'll see it my way
and take my word for it. Being
wife won't be so bad"
Joel" she said solemnly, I'll
try hard"
THE END
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-03-19

out Of his voice. "Ironical isn't
| it, that a man should find his
greatest disillusionment in the
only thing he knows. The theater
is all I know, Janet. Well, we
won't talk it over any more. I'll
find something. Don't you worry
your pretty head"
Tell Janet not to worry? Tell
her not to breathe. See her stand
ing by him, suffering because he
suffered, planning, thinking, her
mind going in circles to find the
way out for him.
But never, never expect her now
to tell him that her star had risen
as his descended. Never expect
her to tell Joel Paynter that she
had been offered the thing that
Russell Bede offered her. Save his
pride. Be the wife he wants and
be content. For Joel, with his
pride, was Joel complete and all
she ever wanted.

Joel, please don't laugh at nv
suggestion. It's just an idea.
I've been thinking and thinking
about something. It's this: Isn't
there big money in being a theatri-
cal producer ?"
"You bet there is, if you know
anything about it,"
But you do! Oh, Joel, your
theater technique, your unfailing
good Judgment! If you had a sea-
son to prove what you could do
selecting plays, casting and direct
ing, I'll bet you could make
Broadway sit up and take notice.
Ii you were to prove what you
can do, there'd be lots Of money
