Navy Recounts Tight Squeezes
Of Cargo Boats Hit by Subs

Although students of sea warfare
have long known the submarine as
an amazingly deadly undercover
assailant, the Navy yesterday cited
several recent instances of merchant
ships escaping from submarine at
tacks.
1t cited the case of a medium
sized American tanker that suffered
shell hit In the darkness of At
lantic coastal waters. Five more
direct hits followed, esd as the cap
tain zig-zagged shoreward, torpedo
blast was received on the starboard
side. The tanker made port, even
though "bulging, broken and full of
water" the Navy report said.
The tale was told of another
merchant ship that stopped her
engines when her bow was ripped
open by a torpedo. AS she listed,
the crew abandoned ship, and fol-
lowed the crippled hulk in lifeboats.
Some time later a small dot on the
horizon materialized into q United
States Navy patrol plane.
Feeling that presence of the plane
would drive the attacking submarine
OF, the crew reboarded the vessel,
and moved slowly toward the coast.
At night the patrol plane left, and
the skipper anchored. The follow
ing morning another plane came
out and accompanied the crippled
ship to q friendly port where she
Evening star., 1942-04-12

received emergency repairs before
going to her home station for COM
plete overhaul.
The Navy also told Of a Dutch
merchant vessel that sighted a dark
blur as she was reScuing survivors
from torpedoed British merchant
man. Thinking the smudge an ad-
ditional lifeboat, the Dutch cap
tain headed toward 1t, whereupon 1t
speeded away. Offlcers of the Dutch
ship are certain they saw the con-
ming tower OF a submarine, and be-
heve that the submersible fed in
belief that the Dutchman was q
warship.
On dark night along the Atlantic
Coast a submarines spotlight picked
out an American tanker half a mile
away. Twenty-Five shells, probably
incendiary, were fired at the ship
without a single hit. The tanker
changed her course, lodged several
explosive shells, evaded the sub
marines spotlight and escaped in
the darkness.
On a moonlight night in the
Pacific, an armed American mer-
chantman swapped shells with an
enemy submarine at 1000 yards. The
submarine fired a barrage but the
merchant ship zigzagged and re-
turned shot for shot until the sub
marine gave up and made oN into
the night.

Wisconsin Progressives
Plan Drive on Reaction
BY the Associated Press.

oy tuc AooOSldb<Q FIcSh.
MADISON, Wis, April l1.-Pro-
gressive party leaders decided at a
closed conference with Senator La
Toilette today to launch a vigorous
campaign to drive the reactionartes
out of power in Wisconsin"
Senator La Toilette declared good
government could be restored to
Wisconsin If the Progressives would
unite now and begin a campaign Of
education which would bring facts
and issues before the people
Both of the old parties (Re-
publicans and Democrats) are shot
through with toryism," Senator La
Toilette asserted. 1.-The war has
only served to bring out their re-
dictionary forces in greater strength
than ever before. They are chained
to a philosophy of government
which is as archaic on the home
front as are muskets and sailing
ships on the war front.
True, there are men of courage
and wisdom in each Of the old par
ties, but the tragic truth is they
are compelled more and more to
fight a rear-guard action against
TIE powerful reactionary forces in
their parties"

Land Value Competition.

In the discussion that followed,
board members stated that to con-
tract with private firms to extend
services in other counties would in
crease land values in competition
with those Of Arlington, while such
services were paid for by Arlington
taxpayers.
Mr.. Ball, referring to the proposal
OF Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada to bring Arlington County
back into the District Of Columbia,
said:
Il hope that too much emphasis
is not given to this controversy be-
cause it will only add to Senator
McCarran's argument"
Mr.. Hanrahan protested this re-
mark and said he regarded it as q
club" held over the county's head
to force 1t to agree to all kinds of
proposals in the name of national
defense.
I'VE have not turned the Govern
ment down on anything" the
county manager said. 1--WE want to
enter into an agreement with the
Government"
The board approved a recommen-
dation Of County Treasurer John
Locke Green indorsed by Mr.. Han
rahan, that $1,000 be set aside In a
revolving fund for the purchase of
defense bonds and stamps which
will be placed on sale at the treasur-
er's ONCE. New stamps and bonds
would be purchased as those on hand
are sold.
New Bus Route Sought.
The board referred to Mr.. Han
rahan and the Public Utilities Com
mission, a petition of necessity and
convenience by the Arlington Fair
fax Motor Transportation Co. to es-
tablsh new bus route into WASH
ington. The route would begin at
North Woodrow street and Fairfax

lowing roads: Fairfax drive and

tract with private firms or indivi-

The committee reported that be-
cause Of the emergency and the tenn

Andrus, Provost Play

Two more members of the

Holochwost into the armed forces
of our country-Julius Andrus
and Stanley Provost. Julius chose
the Navy and is already serving
at the Naval Air Station in
Anacostia, D. C. Stan has been
inducted into the Army and will
report some time next week.
Both boys, prominent all-around
Greenbelt athletics, have been on
the Shamrock squad for the three
years of it's existence. The fleet,
hard hitting Andrus has been reg
ular center fielder right along.
The lanky Provost has come along
very fast from an awkward be-
ginning in utility roles to take
his place as valuable cog in the
Shamrock machinery.
So far, neither man is lost to
the team and it is quite possible
tht both will be able to continue
in the County League stretch
drive.
