the need for a close relation

Flat feet shouldn't keep you of the Navy be-
cause they dovetail beautifully with the decks
The only objection Ethics can see about flat feet

tage," at the request of a building
guard in the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority Office at 512 Ninth street

ing house next door.

been found on the man, who was
brought to the first precinct by r.
H. Walsh, senior detective, Public
Buildings Administration It was
at his request that the charge was
made.
Police had been summoned to the
building on a report that a man
was trying to jump out of a window
but they could get no information
The FBI bureau here refused tc
say whether an investigation was
being made by its agents.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., July Am
Italian mechanic, naturalized

holm that he had been forced to
work in submarine plant at Genoa,
Italy, and had damaged as many
motors as I could"
Sebastian Rotella, Brooklyn me-

United States Army in the World
War and that Il want to join the
Army here again and go back to
Italy to bust up that whole rot
ten Fascist gang"
Rotella said he had gone to Italy
three and one-half years ago to re-
cover from an illness and had lived
in Naples. After the United States
had entered the present war, he de-
clared, "the Fascists and police took
away all my identification papers
and told the American consul I
wanted to be an Italian citizen"
Says Life Was Threatened.
The Fascists robbed him of 4,200
lire, Rotella said, and then beat
him and threatened to kill him.
After that I was thrown in a
hospital and kept prisoner there
seven months" Rotella asserted.
Then they sent me to Genoa to
help repair submarines because I
was mechanic. They worked me
IA hours day and didn't pay me
anthing. I worked on motors, and
damaged as many as I could"
25 Permitted to Land.
Rotella and nearly 600 other pas
sengers spent Independence Day

Sinkings
Continued From First Page.)

Their addresses were given as the
Armed Guard Center Receiving Sta
ton, South Brooklyn, N
The other sinking reported was
that of small American merchant
man torpedoed in the Caribbean
Sea June Is. All hands, the regular
crew Of 81 and 13 Navy gunners,
sailed 10 miles to shore in lifeboats
in five days
Capt. Carl w. Jaenicre of Phila-
delphia ordered the ship abandoned
when it started settling. But later,
after the lifeboats had pulled away
for a quarter Of a mile, it became
apparent that the merchantmen
would stay afloat for some time.
Il suggested to the gun crews
commander" Capt. Jaenicke related,
that we might be able to man the
gun for a while longer and have a
chance at sinking the sub. He
agreed, and every man in the mer-
chant crew as we'll as the gunners
volunteered to go back.
Get in Five Shots.
"We knew we could not make port
in our ship, and knew more tor
pedoes would be coming, but we all
wanted another crack at that u
boat"
Unable to see the submarine, but
guided by the wake of the coming
tower, the gunners got in five more
shots before fourth torpedo fin
ished off the ship.
1.-TWO of our shells exploded, a
good indication that they hit some
thing" Capt. Jaenicke said II
honestly doubt, however, that we
did any serious damage, for we saw
no wreckage or other signs that the
sub was in trouble.
Il can't say too much for the spirit
Of that gun crew, especially that OF
the commander, 1t. Dan r. Schwartz
of Jacksonville, Fla He is a very
courageous and able officer"
