To those in the posses who knew
Durand, who had seen him crack

Sabotage Hint in Sinking
OF Submarines AssaiIed
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Any sug-
gestion that sabotage was respon-
sible for the sinking of the subma-
rines \ Squalus. Thetis and Phenix
was termed ridiculous" today by
Comdr. Edward Ellsberg, United
States Navy Reserve, in a COPY
righted article in the New York
Post.
Comdr. Ellsberg, graduate of the
United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis, was one of the Navy's
best divers and engaged in the SAL
wage work on the submarine S-51.
He has written several books.
The sinking of the three subma-
rines all within a month, must be
put down as coincidence" he wrote.
Sabotage Is particularly difficult
on a submarine. The crews are
relatively small, the machinery all
in view, visitors are carefully re-
stricted and easily observed if
aboard.
THE chances of a visitor in port
being able, undetected, to damage
or dtconnect vital operating gear is
so remote as to be beyond belief"
As for members of the crew en-
gaging in sabotage, Comdr. Ellsberg
wrote that submarine crews ordi-
narily are the pick of the Navy"
and the chance of a foreign agent
getting assigned to q crew lis ex-
tremely improbable"

Move Taken 10 Set Aside
Sentences OF Youths
By Staff Correspondent Of The Star

en- five Prince Georges County and
Washington youths Wednesday after
they had wrecked their Jail cells
and disturbed sessions of the Cir
cult Court on the floor below were
taken today by Thomas L. Dawson,

In behalf of Harry Flynn and
George Railey, of Capitol Heights,
and John Shatzer of Washington,
Mr.. Dawson filed two petitions, one a
motion asking that the sentences
be vacated, set aside or modified -
and the other an appeal of the SEN
tences to the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals. It was expected that the
other two defendants, John Cowan
and Harding Mattera, both of Cap
itol Heights, would receive the bene-
fit of any change of sentence grant,
ed the others.
The sentences were given by
Judge Stedman Prescott after the
youths, who are being held for
grand jury action in connection
with an attempted burglary of the
A. & P. Store at Kensington, had
wrecked their cells and were making
such a commoition in the Jail above
the courtroom that a civil case

SAIGON, French Indo China,
June 17.-An official French gov
eminent communique said today II
officers and sailors were lost aboard
the French submarine Phenix, which
disappeared Thursday off Cam
Rain naval base.
Death for the men whose number
previously was given by officials as
63 was considered certain the
communique said.
The depth Of the ocean and two
days failure to locate the submarine
were advanced as reason for lack of
hope. Naval authorities calculated
that the Phenix's air supply was
exhausted today.
Flags on French naval units were
at half mast and the city went into
formal mourning.
With other French units, the Phe-
nix was engaged in maneuvers in
Cam-Ranh Bay when it plunged
and failed to reappear.
Text of Communique.
The communique:
On the morning of June IS, the
submarines Phenix and Espoir took
part in exercises of Cam-Ranh in
collaboration with the Lamont
Picquet (cruiser) and aviation.
The Phenix having plunged did
not reappear.
Search was made Immediately
with the help of aviation but it was
in vain.
The bottom of the ocean at this
point being more than 100 meters,
after more than "a hours of fruit
less searching, loss Of the Phenix
and its crew was considered GER
tain"
The submarine Phenix was COM
manded by Naval Capt. Boucha-
court, with 1t. Rahezre second in
command. The remainder of the
crew was composed of three officers
and 66 petty officers, quartermasters
and sailors.
The cause of this catastrophe is
still unknown and a commission of
inquiry has been formed to discover
it. The search continues actively
and all means at the disposal of the
1ndo-China fleet are being en-
ployed."
Left Saigon for Cruise.
Information available in naval
circles said the Phenix and Espoir
earlier had left Saigon for a cruise
toward Hong Kong and Manila,
stopping at Cam -Ranh for maneu-
vers with other units. The Phenix
plunge occurred at 1920 an. Thurs
day.
Vice Admiral Jean Decoux was in
command of the hunt for the
stricken craft. Warships and tugs
