NEW YORK, Dec. II - The
Navy's new Ninety Day Won
ders''-the young reserve off,
GERS trained in comparatively
few months at special schools
all over the country-are build
ing their own traditions OF CUTS
and gallantry that can stand side
by side with Annapolis best.
Take the class OF 50-odd
younp business and professional
men who were graduated as Of
ficers from a Navy training
school in Chicago last July.
They've been in the service less
than six months-most OF them
commanding gun crews on mer-
chant ships-but already half
dozen have been torpedoed and
At least one has lost his life in
action.
RESCUES CLASSMATE
BY one of those quirks of fate
that makes truth incredible, one
young ensign. Writ p. Hoxie, OF
Waterloo, Ia, got his first news
of one of his classmates, Lieut..
Joseph Bailey, when he res
cued 10 of the crew of the tor
pedoed merchantmen on which
Bailey had commanded the
armed guard.
Two of the merchantman's
lifeboats, inclu I'D ing Lieut..
Bailey's, had been picked up
after a week of sailing in the
torrid South Atlantic. The third
was missing-until Ensign Hoxie
sighted its red sail on the hori-
ION a few days late and, GIN
gerly, lest it be submarine
trap, went to the rescue. A
month later Hoxie himself was
torpedoed.
Latest and most dramatic of
the action stories that are max
ing the class history comes from
Ensign Harry Brown, who left
pretty blond wife and Chicago
law practise to join the Navy.
Browns fight was as much with
the seas as with the submarine
that sank him.
He was returning In convoy
through the North Atlantic. 1t
was hurricane weather, with
winds up to 100 miles an hour
and seas so mountainous that the
men had to be taken off the
after gun because waves were
crashing right over the stern.
So violent was the weather
that the ship couldn't maintain
her position in the convoy. She
had to head into the wind, pull
out of rank to keep from being
blown onto the other vessels.
The torpedoes struck just be-
fore midnight. The merchant

90. waited for the raft to
ride up on a crest, and jumped
"a stunning 20 feet to the Graz
lily heaving patch Of safety"
men took a starboard list and
swung sideways into the wind.
BY the time that Brown reached
the after gun it was under
water, out of action.
The captain estimated she'd
go under within few minutes.
The torpedoes' conclusion had
wrecked all the lifeboats save
one. Miraculously, they got it
into the raging sea. Over 40
men managed to crawl down the
scramble nets and squeeze in.
The captain, first mate, steward,
Navy gunner and Ensign
Brown stayed aboard the Ship.
Brown started to check the
ship for any hands left. When
he got to the crew quarters,
amidship on the main deck, the
water was up to his waist.
Further search was useless.
Now, by some miracle, the
first mate managed to launch a
life-raft-despite 50-foot seas
and maneuver it under the
Jacobs ladder. The four men
still aboard climbed down the
ladder, waited for the raft to
ride up on a crest, and jumped
"a stunning 20 feet to the Graz
lily heaving patch of safety.
Less than two minutes after
they cut themselves free of the
ship the sub made another at
tack, getting lucky hits that ex-
ploded the ships gun magazines
and showered the liferaft with
debris.
But this was the least of the
worries for the five on the raft.
The raging North Atlantic was
icy: They couldn't lash them
selves to the raft lest it be
hurled upside down. They held
onto the floor strips as best they
could.
Brown was washed off three
times. Twice he got back under
his own power. The third time
his gunner managed to grab his
trouser leg and fish him back.
FOUGHT FOR SEVEN HOURS
For seven hours they fought
the cold and seas TO hang on.
Then rescue vessel sighted
them. She'd been searching all
night, though none among her
crew believed they'd find sur
vivors in seas like this.
Still the ordeal was not over.
The rescue ship couldn't launch
boat in this weather. By mag
nificent seamanship she was ma
neuvered, without motors (lest
propellers mangle the raft and
the men on it,, alongside the
raft. They tried to secure it,
but each time the hawsers

RETAIL STORES
 Q. K. ON PRICES
05 Per Cent Locally Com ply With Regulations
 Says Mayor SCully

Ninety-five per cent of Water bury,s retail business establishments are complying with price control regulations, says a report issued by Mayor Vincent A. Scully, chairman of the Waterbury Retailers Elmer gency committee. This is higher than the average compliance record of 91 per cent for the state, as re- ported by State OPA Director Ches- ter Bowles.
 Less than five per cent of stores visited by volunteer canvassers were found to be making no effort to comply with the price ceiling rules. Forty-three per cent are complying fully with the regulations while ap- proximately 52 per cent are not yet complying fully, but are making ef- forts to do so.
 Mayor Scully announced that the committee, though it has completed its educational campaign will re- main active. A 100 per cent record of full compliance will be the goal.
 State OPA Director Bowles said that the vast majority of the states retailers are solidly behind the price control drive. However, he said, much work remains to be done.
