 The vessels escape from torpedoing occurred, they said, while the Nerissa was travelling in a convoy. of 30 ships guarded by six destroyers. After the ramming, a warship dropped depth bomb where the submarine sank.
 Among the arrivals were Lieut.. Pedro Galarza, Chilean naval att tache at London now transferred to Washington, and his wife who came ashore with their two-month- old baby swung in a basket between them.
 Mrs. Ann Ostrowick said Nazi aviators must be taught to hate "the worst possible way" because even when forced down they tried to machine-gun ambulances arriy- ing to aid them.
 Refugees said that on their first night out the Nerissa was bombed by German planes. The ship was not hit and the raiders were driven of by anti-aircraft fire.

POPULATION TO
 BECOME STATIC
Continued from Page l)

(Continued from Page D these states 305, ,459 residents, many of whom helped boost the popula- tion of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to unprecedented highs.
 The sixth state to register 8 de- crease was Vermont, which lost 2,113 persons or 6 of its population. A decrease in the extent of New England manufactures and the wearing out of old farm lands con- tributed to the loss. census officials believe.
 The most notable trend of the decade, statistics reveal, was the fact that almost all the northern in- dustrial states showed an increase rate below the national average while the southern states had relatively more rapid rise.
 This trend t explained partially at least, by the fact that improved employment conditions have led a great number of southerners to stay within their own state boundaries instead of seeking advancement elsewhere.
 The list of states according tc population showed remarkably few changes during the decade. Among the first 10, the only change was the l displacement of Texas from fiftt place by California.

 Wait Interminable
 To the watchers outside the white home of the count, and to the relatives within its polished doors, it seemed like hours before word came that Marc had been met by his father in San Francisco. The count held his son up to a San Francisco telephone and the countess here almost wept in her joy as she said:
 "Or, darling, it's so wonderful to talk to you again"
 q like you, too," replied Marc, Jr.
 Darling, hear you were afraid" Countess Jane told her son. But don't be afraid. You'll be home with me socn."
 And so he was. The count broke speed laws on the 15-mile drive to Hillsborough, as little Marc chat ted in French. AS he rolled to his front door, cheering, whistling crowd moved along beside the car. The count held his son high above his head so all could see.
 The baby was tired, sleepy, un- smiling, but his face lighted up when his mother rushed outside to cradle him in her arms. Flash lights glared and movie flood lights made the setting seem as unreal as Hollywood sound stage.
 Police could not hold back the line of joyous neighbors. They didn't really try.
 The nurse, Mary Foley, who had tried in vain to protect her charge three days ago, took the baby to his nursery, where a doctor exam ined him and found him well, but tired. Marc, Jr., fell amost imme- diately into exhausted sleep.
 The beautiful brunette countess received reporters in breakfast nook. She said she was almost toc happy to talk coherently.
 She said that nurses would stay on with him for a few days, but that she planned no special pre-. cautions against harm to him.
 "It's all over," she said, "an6 he will forget all about it in few days. He is my baby and I love him SO, I know nothing more car happen to him now"
