Sinking
Continued from Page One

Italian nation on her, we would
have still fired"
About 1,040 persons were res
cued from lifeboats by French
cruiser and taken to Casa
blanca, French Morocco, where
they were informed until Amer
lean forces occupied the area
last month. Only some 800 Ital-
ians were saved out of force
of / 300 captured in Africa. The
rest of the passenger list was
mostly British, including SO
women and children - wives
and children of British officers
- most of whom were saved.
The death toll far exceeded
previous warship disasters -
the torpedoing of the Lusitania
in 1915, when 1913 lives were
lost, and the sinking of the
Athena in 1889 with a loss of
1,104.
The two torpedoes which
MORALLY wounded the transport
struck on the side where the
Italians were quartered, and
many of them were killed out
right. The others were thrown
into a panic.
Survivors told of a night of
horror as the Italians drowned
by scores, leaping over the side
and overturning lif e b a S.
Screams pierced the darkness as
sharks dragged off persons who
chung to the overcrowded boats.
Some who came through the
night alive were horribly
mangled by sharp-toothed bar
racuda.
Soon after the attack the
submarines came to the surface
and picked up many survivors,
including several hundred of
the Italians, who later were
transferred to lifeboats.
One German officer apologize
ed for having to put Italians
into the lifeboats with you
Britishers.
OFFICER CAPTIVES
Ships officers and Royal Air
Force men were taken prisoner
by the Germans, but other sur
vivors were released after
short period on the submarines,
during which they were given
wine and cigarettes. About 35
women and children spent the
night on a submarine.
One woman was given a pair
of panties and bunch of cloth
forget-me-nots by a submarine
commander. While she was
aboard, an Allied plane appear
ed and the submarine was fore
ed to crash dive and lie far be-
low the surface as depth
charges exploded nearby. The
next day the woman was
brought back to her lifeboat.
Survivors recalled most vivid
ly the panic of the Italians.
1T was CHASTITY to behold"
one Of them said. Their guards
had to keep them from rushing
the lifeboats. Some were beat
en- off as they tried to force their
way into boats being readied for
women and children.

YREKA, Calf, Dec. 15-(P)
-Sulfadiazine was being used
with some success today in the
treatment of child suffering
from bubonic plague.
DR.. Albert E. Newton, county

Donna Mae DeRrose, was not
out of danger, though her con-
dition improved considerably
after large doses of the sulfa

Death of Her
Officer Hubby

BISBEE, ARIZ., Dec. 15-(P)
- Redhaired, 21-year-old Mar
garet Herlihy, charged with the
murder of her husband, Capt.
David d. Carr, anti-tank unit Of
ficer at nearby Fort Huachuca,

Miss Herlihy told authorities she

her.
Soon afterward II was disclos-

ried across the border in Aqua
Prieta, Sonora, on June 81.
County attorney John F. Ross
later said his investigations indi-
Gated the couple quarreled over
Captain Carr's previous marital
experiences. Records showed,
Ross asserted, that the officer
had been married at least twice
previously and had never been
divorced.
Miss Herlihy, native of Fort
Bliss, Tex, Tex, is the daugh-
ter of Lieut.. Col. E. G. Herlihy.
At the time of the shooting her
father was assigned at Fort Hua-
chuca but has since been trans
ferred.
Captain Carr died a few hours
after being shot. On August II

murder, and three days later
was released under $4,000 bond.

er and newspaper reporter, was
called to active duty with the
Louisiana National Guard as a
second Lieutenant November
Is, 1910. He was transferred
from Camp Bowie, Tex, to Fort
Huachuca, in April, 1941, was
promoted to First Lieutenant
August /, 1941, and became a
captain last May Is.

EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
OF NATIONS WEALTH
PATERSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
OF NATIONS WEALTH
WITHIN THE PAST 40 years men
employed in factories making wag-
ons and carriages have seen their
jobs disappear. The invention and
development of the automobile was
responsible for that. Within the past
Is years men who laboriously pro-
duced automobiles one at time
have seen their jobs disappear.
Mass production did that.
Today several times the number
of men who were employed at max
ing wagons and carriages, or many
times the number employed at max
ing automobiles one at time, were
employed at the mass production of
automobiles until the government
stopped the manufacture of cars.
Invention of the automobile, or the
machines that made its mass pro-
duction possible, increased employ
ment, made more jobs.
But it did more than that. In the
days of wagons and carriages not
more than one out of each 20 people
owned a wagon or carriage. To-
day there is an automobile for one
out of each four people in this coun-
try.
The invention of the automobile
and cheaper methods of producing it
created more national wealth and
made more equitable distribution
of that increased wealth possible.
To do that there had to be great fac
tories, financed by the combined in
vestments of many thousands of peo-
pie, and managed by men who know
how.

SELF-CENTERED LOT

WE HUMANS are a self-centered
lot of individuals. Each thinks of
himself as being of importance to
the other fellow, but not of the
other fellow as being of importance
to him. We do not accept respon-
sibility for any failure, but acclaim
what success we may achieve. We
are prone to monopolize any con-
versation with details of our own
small affairs. We resent the other
fellow talking about himself. 1t
might be more interesting world
if we could each put ourselves in
our own proper niche, but we can
not, or will not, do that.
