Axis U-boat Is Sunk
By U. 5. Destroyer
Patro||ing Atlantic
Sub With Coping Hole
In Side Disappears
After Night Attack
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 6.-"The
debris in the water left no doubt
that the sub had gone straight
to the bottom-and for good"
And so, the Sd Naval District dis
closed today, another Axis undersea
raider was eliminated by the At
lantic patrol. The job was done by
an old four-stack destroyer.
This story, told by an officer
aboard the destroyer, was formally
released by the naval district:
1t was in the middle of the first
watch, between am. and am.
The destroyer was sliding quietly
along through calm blackness. On
deck no lights were showing. Be-
low, the blue battle lights were
somber pin points. No signs of life
we're visible, but silent officers and
men were at every station.
Spotlight Reveals Sub.
Suddenly, a low, dark shape
loomed up ahead. At the same mo-
ment the destroyer's spotlight
stabbed out and revealed a sub
marine lying on the surface, charg-
ing her batteries, while startled
members of the submarine crew at
tempted to get to cover.
On the destroyer, a chief boat
swain's mate manning a machine
gun sent fiery tracer bullets zinging
out at the submarine, forcing some
of the crew to leap into the sea.
Two Torpedoes Wide.
The submarine fired two torpe-
does, both of which went wide.
Then from the destroyer came the
sharp crack of a 4-inch gun fired
at almost point blank range. There
was a dull boom and a gaping hole
showed in the side of the subma-
rine, which slowly rolled over and
disappeared.
The destroyer charged on and
dropped a pattern of death bombs
over the spot where the submarine
was last seen, then crossed back and
dropped more. The destroyer's off,
GERS and men reported that there
was no doubt about that one.
With the action over, the destroy
er picked up survivors and resumed
patrol.

Draft Evader and Father
Sentenced in Maryland

Ey .bt Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 6-John A.
Gellner, 20, was sentenced today to
one year and day in Federal
reformatory on charge of violating
the Selective Service Act, and his
father, William M Gellner, 63, was
sentenced to 80 days in Jail for at
tempted intimidation of Federal
officers.
Both are of Long, Allegany
County. Judge William c. Coleman
imposed the sentences in United
States District Court.
The younger man pleaded guilty
last week and an effort was made
to place him in the armed services
but he was turned down by recruit
ing officers.
Gellner was accused of trying to
evade the draft by claiming a back
injury which authorities said was
imaginary.
The charge was placed against his
father when he allegedly pointed a
revolver at officials March II while
they were carrying his son down
the stairs in an attempt to arrest
him.

DELAYS Action on Andrews

B} the Associated Press.
Confirmation of the promotion OF
Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews 10
the rank OF vice admiral was held
up by the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee today after Senator
Brewster, Republican, OF Maine
raised the question OF placing
responsibility for the fire which
damaged the former French liner
Normandie at her New York berth.
Admiral Andrews has been placed
IN command OF the Atlantic Sea
frontier, from the Canadian border
to Savannah, Ga.
Senator Brewster said the ques-
ton Of sea defense was Of so much
concern in New England that he
preferred to await secret testimony
from Secretary Knox before further
considering the presidential nomina-
ton.
Chairman Walsh said that three
investigations-by the Senate and
House Naval Affairs Committees and
by the Navy itself-did not show any
neglect Of duty by the admiral, who
commanded the Naval district at
New York when the Normandie
burned.
Senator Lucas. Democrat, of
Illinois said that somebody should
bear the responsibility. Apparently
there's divided authority. It's pretty

Doctors Hospital
Takes Group Patients
Until March, 1943
Then Will Withdraw
As Full Participating
Institution in Plan

Doctors Hospital has reached
an agreement with Group Hos
pitalization, Inc, to admit sub
scribers until March 81, 1943,
when the hospital will withdraw
as a full participating institu-
ton in the disqualification plan,
it was disclosed today.
The decision was announced after
officials of the two organizations
conferred on hospital needs of the
community and the problems of the
disqualification subscribers.
Under the agreement Doctors will
accept disqualification subscribers
whether the contract is existing, a
renewal, or a new one until the
deadline of next March 81.
The arrangement settles dispute
made public April "a when the hos
pital announced it would not renew
its contract as of next March 81 and
also refused to care for any new per-
sons signing up in the interim or any
whose contracts have expired and
been renewed.
The reason given for the April "a
action and reiterated as the reason
for withdrawing March 81, l943, was
that the institution has financial
obligations greater than other hos
pitfalls, such as real property taxes.
After the disclosure of the con-
troversy, the hospital announced 1t
would be willing to reopen negotia-
tions on any basis which will pay
cost of service" to G. H. I. patients
wishing care at the hospital and was
willing to continue to admit sub
scribers until some final decision
was made. There are some 10000
subscribers to G. H. I.
Present at the conference at
which the agreement was reached
were o. K. Fike, director of Doctors
Elwood Seal, attorney for the hos
pital, and three members of the
Board of Trustees; Joseph H. Hines,
president of Group disqualification
Inc, and Roger j. Whiteford, attor-
ney for the organization.

TOXIC from Japanese broad
casts, May 6.-Shichiji Ito, we'll
known military commentator, said in
the May issue of the monthly mag
azine Gendai Contemporary Times)
today that the season of melting ice
in the Northern Pacific has brought
to the fore the possibility of an
American offensive against Japan
from Alaska and the Aleutian Is
lands
But he said various factors dis
counted the possibility, and that 1t
was not Japan, but the United
States, which should fear operations
in the Northern Pacific.
The distance between Alaska and
the United States, the poor trans
portation facilities in Alaska and the
vulnerability of Alaska to parachute
attack because of its sparse popula-
ton makes Alaska the weakest point
in United States defense, he de-
clared.
Naval bases In Alaska have not
been completed and are only large
enough to harbor small auxiliary
ships such as submarines and de-
stroyers and are not sufficient TO
replenish any carrier striking force
which would be sent against Japan.

Gasoline Stocks Cut
50 Pei. by W.P.B.
Rationing Order
New Consumers Rules
Become Effective in
II States May Is

Non-essential users of automo-
biles in this section today faced
the proSpect-within the next 10
days of having to get along
with as little as five or six gallons
of gasoline week, as the War
Production Board announced
that consumption would be
slashed to so per cent below nor
NAL in the II Eastern States and
the District, starting May 16.
The cut becomes effective the day
the seaboard region starts using
ration cards, and while rationine
officials were chary about estimating
the allowance for each motorist
under the card system, informed
ment of so per cent would amount
to approximately so per cent for
non-essential motoring, since neces-
sary vehicles would continue to have
their full needs met. In other words,
that users would get about 40 per
cent OF their usual supply.
There was evidence also of an in
creasing disposition in official circles
toward absolute elimination of
pleasure uses of cars.
Gasoline consumption in the East
and oregon and washington already
Is cut by one-third below normal by
a limitation of supplies to filling
stations. The new order made nc
mention of the Northwestern States
where improved supply conditions
have been accompanied by specu-
lation that the restrictions may be
lifted.
Fuel Oil Stocks Reduced.
The further cut by the w. P. B
was in line with the recommends
tions of Petroleum Co-ordinator
Ickes, and simultaneously, the board
ordered deliveries of light fuel oil
in this area curtailed so per cent
below last year. beginning May Is
This was the first cut in fuel oil
used for home heating, and the
order applied to deliveries to sup
pliers.
AS the gasoline allowance was
reduced, the board said that the
rationing program originally sched-
uled to start May Is would be de-
layed day. From mid-May to July
l, the program will be only a tenn
porary device to cut consumption
