NEW YORK, April 90. - Five
young American seamen dis
closed with Navy sanction that
they avenged the loss Of their
medium sized United States
merchant vessel three days later
by scoring a probable hit-poS-
sibly a fatal one-on an Axis sub
marine with the deck gun of
their rescuer, a United Nations
ship.
The American ship, whose torpe-
doing was announced today. was
sunk April 81 of the Atlantic Coast.
Twenty three crewmen, including
lowing day but "a others in two life
boats are still missing. ,
The action was described by En-
sign Frank M. Keathley. %, of Cor
Sicana. Tex, who was interviewed
at Sd Naval District headquarters,
He said it was the first battle for
all the gun crew members. whose
ages ranged from II to %. and most
of whom had never been to sea
before.

The rescue ship was warned of

Keathley said, and since its crew
had little training in gunnery, the
captain asked the ensign to man
the gun.
-Four of my men and I went
astern and got the gun ready" he
said. AT $40 am a lookout re-
ported seeing the submarine on the
starboard side, but he made a mis-
take in direction and suddenly the
coming tower of the sub appeared
a few yards away on the port side.
The submarine had to crash dive
/ to avoid ramming US. We next saw
her 200 yards off on the port side,
! but she submerged before we could
fire. A few minutes later. or about
40 minutes after she was first
sighter, her periscope appeared
again and we opened fire.

Our first shot was long. Our
second appeared direct hit and a

a third shot at the same spot, but
the submarine was not seen after
our second shell. We think that
quite probably the submarine was

The ships crew cheered wildly,
Ensign Keathley said.
Frank E. Davis, %, fourth engi-

that it went down about five min

ATLANTA, April 29-There is a
real danger that absence of bomb
ing attacks on this country may
cause the people to let down their
guard and bring another STORY of
Pearl Harbor," James NJ Lands,
civilian defense director, declared
today
So far the fact that enemy bombs
have not fallen on United States
cities has not dampened interest in
civilian defense activities, he said,
but keeping the people alert repre-
sents an important military problem
The minute you relax your alert
ness he warned, "the enemy will
consider it time to strike"
Here to address a meeting of the
Georgia State Defense Council and
the Atlanta Bar Association, the
national Office of Civilian Defense
director said at a press conference
he wanted to stress ''potentiality of
air attack"
While I can't guarantee that we
will be attacked, I can't guarantee
that we won't. If I didn't think
there was real danger. however, I
wou.d not have been engaged in this
work" He reported that 2.500, 900
persons in this country already have
volunteered for civilian defense work
and that is as many as we can
handle"
Mr.. Lands asserted he did not be-
lieve it would be necessary to draft
workers for civilian defense, but Il
would not hesitate to ask that legis-
lation be passed to require men to
perform certain duties, as has been
done in England, if we should find it
advisable"
