NAVY THROWS IN
 ALL RESOURCES
Secretary of Navy Knox in Personal Charge of Ei-
 forts to Find Boat
NEA Telephoto.

Washington, June 2i--(UP)-The navy today threw oil It's resources Into the search for tho submarine o.0, lost off Portsmouth, N. H., with a crew of 8 officers and men,
 Secretary of Navy Frank Knox took personal charge of the rescue, Tho navy dispatched to the scene the latest scientific rescue devices turned out Of naval laboratories.
 These included the now-famous diving bell" which saved B men from the submarine Squalus which foundered of Portsmouth In l930 with Q loss of % lives, and the electric drag" designed to detect metallic substances under water.
 Tho electric drag consists of two- well-insulated electrical coils sub- merged at distances up to 2 ,000 feet apart. Vessels towing the coils move In parallel lines, and If they Straddle the spot where Q subma. rine lies, its steel plates disturbs the field of energy between the two coils and the disturbance is recorded. The ships then take "line" on tn edisturbance and tow their coils in Q criss-croSs direction SO that an intersection of the two "lines' will spot the sunken subma- rine.
 Rescue Devices In Play
 The diving bell, the Momsen lung and the navy's oscillator system other rescue devices-come Into play after 6 submerged vessel has been located.
 Radio contact with an entrapped crew Is impossible. Radio waves are neutralized by water. The oScillator system uses sound waves. The send- ing device sends out undersea clicks in sequence of the familiar dots and clashes of the Morse code; and an undersea lear" picks them up.
 The diving bell Is & ponderous metal cylinder, weighing l8,000 pounds. Its maximum diameter Is 93 inches; its minimum, 60 inches, divers accompany the bell while 1t is being lowered and telephone in- structions to the surface crew. The bottom of the bell fits the hatch Of the submarine.
 Then, as in the case of the SQual- us rescue, begins the delicate task of opening the subs hatch, taking care to assure slowly-equalized air pressure between the bell and the stricken craft so that none of the trapped men or rescue work CTS get the bends Once the transfer is made from submarine to bell, the matches are closed and the bell Is towed up.
