Admiral King, 81 Today, Faces
Long, Hard Job as Navy Chief
At Retirement Ace,
He Sometimes Works
18 Hours q Day
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Presl
Admiral Ernest J. King, tough boss
OF Americas toughest naval war,
today reached the age at which most
officers retire, but for him there was
no prospect of an easy chair by the
fireside until victory is won.
1t seemed rather that in the
months ahead his two-man job
would become even more complex
and demanding, for every new Allied
advance, every opening of some new
battlefront, means an additional
burden on Allied lifelines, and guard
ing those supply routes is the Nays
foremost task in this global war.
Admiral King became "a today.
and associates described him as
being in excellent health despite the
responsibilities which ordinarily de-
mand at least nine busy hours day
Of planning, staff meetings and
decisions affecting the fate of scores
Of ships and thousands of men.
Sometimes his days run to Is or 20
hours of work.

Slxty-four is the legal retirement
age for all officers except those of
top rank with active command. The
law provides that the exceptions
men like Admiral King-should not
be subject to retirement until their
work is finished, and Admiral Kings
seven-ocean job is just getting well
under way.
The slender, sharp-eyed admiral
came to Washington in December
from command of the Atlantic Fleet
to assume the duties of commander
Of the United States Fleet. In March
there was added to this assignment
that OF chief Of naval operations.
He organized two stats, one for
each Of his two functions, and has
been. ever since, the sole director
Of all naval activities, subject only
to President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Knox.
Admiral King arrived here with
q reputation for being eminently
fair-minded but completely hard
boiled in his demands for perform
ance. Navy men summed 1t up by
saying he ran a taut ship" and
he still does.

His double-barreled ability to
get things done without loading
himself to the breaking point is
ascribed to the fact that he trusts
his subordinates and decentralizes
his responsibilities.

OAKLAND, Calf, Nov. 26.-The
short Lived escape of four young
Nazi soldiers from a prison train
carrying them to internment yes
terday produced strangely contra
| dictory views on the fortunes OF
Marshal Erwin Rommels Afrika
Corps.
The four, all former members OF
the German desert army and cap
tured during the fighting around
El Alamein last July, slipped through
window of The train Tuesday
night as it wound slowly through
Altamont Pass, 80 miles east OF
here.

been recaptured. The identity lof
two never was disclosed The con-

koerber, full-fioWered graduate
of the Nazi youth movement. said
he considered Hitler the worlds
greatest parsonage and Rommel the
greatest soldier. Reports that Rom
mel had been driven from Egypt
he dismissed as vile propaganda.
Lorenc, terming himself a Ger
man only by birth and a Nazi
soldier only by conscription, said
he had lived most of his life in
Poland.
He declared that the Afrika Corps
long has been critically short OF
supplies and even at its crest the
Rommel offensive was powered
largely by captured British equip
ment and nurtured by captured
food
Lorenc thought Rommel would
hold on at Ell Agheila only long
enough to cover his retreat to Sicily.
Two of the escapes were caught
beside the train almost Immediately.
The third was found asleep in a
parked automobile four hours later.
The last man was picked up at a
military construction project after
he thumbed a ride with a workman.
Brakeman Spots Escape.
The escape was discovered by an
alert brakeman, who saw man
lying beside the tracks as the train
pulled through Altamont Pass.
The man was retaken and sec
ond prisoner was seen climbing an
embankment by an armed guard.
The guard fired single shot and
the prisoner surrendered. Military
officers, who authorized publication
of the story, did not make public the
names of these two.

Two civilian defense auxiliary
policemen found Lorenc asleep in
an automobile near Pleasanton
where the driver had left it while
seeking help to fix a fiat tire.
Lorenc said he craWled in the auto
mobile to get warm.
Sergt Koerber contributed to his
own capture by thumbing a ride
with an American workman. The

gressonal District of Maryland Colonel Lee is truly
veteran in politics well as soldier. Although
only fifty years old he has been top figure in Mary
land politics since his return from France in 1919 In
addition to this long experience he possesses the nte
gence forcefuness judgment and patriotism so sorely
needed IN Washington now and during that approach
ing "after the war" period
THE SENTINEL recognizes that battle scars
inevitably mark long tenure of political leadership
THE SENTINEL also recognizes the broad tolerance of
American voters in their attitude toward man big
enough to weather many political storms and still be an
outstanding leader of his party Such is Colonel
Lee and Montgomery County is fortunate that he
aspres to devote his talents to national problems
Colonel Lee is of the best known men in Mary
land. He has capacity for work seldom found in
an individual. His grasp of governmental political
and economic problems is amazing to those with whom
he comes into intimate contact.
Brooke Lees election to Congress will give Mont
gomery Countians their first Congressman in almost
half century. Montgomery County is growing in
wealth, population and Importance faster than any
County in Maryland. Brooke Lee has played leading
part in developing Montgomery County to her present
high position.
