German Submarine Has Landed Wounded Sailor At Martinique, Causing Protest

Washington, March 20 - UPJ- A German submarine has landed a wounded sailor at the French Is- land of Martinique in the Carib- bean causing fresh complications in U. S.-Vichy relations, 1t was learned today from government sources.
 >~ The wounded man was put ashore about a fortnight ago, 1t was un- derstood.
 The United States has made rep resentations to the Vichy govern ment on the subject, declaring its opposition to use of the Martinique port by German submarines for any purpose.
 There was no indication that the submarine had taken aboard supp nlies or fuel.

vessels of war or merchant vessels into neutral waters the old French note said. "Any beligerent submar- inc entering a neutral port should be detained there"
 The United States has a naval accord with Martinique, under which the government of that French possession guarantees that the Axis will not be allowed to use teh island as base.
 Acting Secretary of State Sum- ner Welles said recently that the United States was in a position to observe developments at Martinique and Guadaloupe, another French island in the Caribbean area. He said there had been no reported in stances of German submarines us- iIr' them for fueling purposes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-20

The American government has expressed its dissatisfaction with the Vichy explanation that the landing of wounded men at neutral ports was permissible under inter national law.
 Supporting its position, the Uni- ted States cited a French note of August 21, 1916, in which that country urged that German sub marines be barred from American ports. At that time the United States was neutral and French view was that combatant submarines should be barred from American harbors under all circumstances.
 submarine vessels should be ex- cluded from the benefit of the rules hitherto recognized by the law of nations regarding the admission oi

 "The time is surely coming for Q counter offensive" he said.
 Stilwell pledged all possible Amer ican aid to China and said that United States supplies for China have reached India and will "con- tinue to arrive there since communi- cations to India are quite satisfac- tory"

 ANOTHER MURDER
Church Musician Already Confessed to Killing His
 Father, Mother

Los Angeles, March 20. = (UP) - Courtney Fred Rogers, 24, a scholar Iy, bearded church organist who confessed two weeks ago that he had murdered his mother and father, admitted to Sheriff's Investigators today that he killed his grand mother six years ago.
 Mrs. Sophie Spiegelman. IS. his maternal grandmother. was killed December 6, 1885, with a dose of arsenic, Rogers said.
 He told authorities that her mur- der was the first step in his scheme to get her money for his musical education. The plan was concluded in the murder of his father and mother.
 Mrs. Spiegelman was buried at San Diego Rogers said, after he gave her the lethal dose at the Rogers family home at Los Angeles It was there that he also asphyxiated his father in 8 burning house, ac- cordin@ to his previous confessions, and killed his mother with chloro- form.
 Presumed Accidental
 .AEtl.o-ities had presumed the deaths of Rogers parents were acci- dental and made only peremptory investigations until he was arrested, months later, on a minor charge.
 After he confessed staying his par ents, they began an investigation into Mrs. Spiegelman's death. When Rogers learned her body would be exhumed for an examination he confessed to having murdered her.

SURVIVORS SAW
 PLENTY OF SHARKS

Miami, Fla, March 20-(UP)- Fourteen survivors of 8 medium sized American freighter torpedoed off the Atlantic coast of Cuba thought today that swimming through oil from the broken fuel tanks probably had saved them from being eaten by sharks.
 Frequently, the oil catches fire and roasts survivors. But in this else, Charles Lindner. 52. water- tender, of Valley Stream, N. F., said; we saw thousands of sharks during the day. But at night when we were holding on to hatch covers in the water they didn't come near us. Maybe it was because we were pretty well covered with oil. Sharks don't like oil"

Provencher Brothers
 Under Arrest Again
Camp Banding, Florida; Older Brother Tells Strange Story

Wilfred Provencher, g, and his brother, Joseph Provencher, IS, were arrested for the third time in about a year last night by local police at their home, S2 Canal street, and held for military authorities who charge they are absent without leave from Camp Banding, Florida.
 Desk Lieutenant Joseph McEvoy said today he had received notif1ca- tion from authorities at the Wind- sor Locks air base that an officer from that post would pick up the brothers some time today.
 The older of the brothers told Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens of the detective bureau this morn ing that he has spent the last three months in the guard house at Camp Banding, and has not received any pay. He owed the government eight months pay he said for the costs in- cured in taking him back to camp on the previous two occasions when he went A. w. O. L.
 Costs Government Plenty
 It cost the government $58 for transporting him back to Camp Banding each time, he said, a to- tai of $1l6. He will not receive any pay until the $116 is made up, and in addition, presumably will be taxed the additional $58 for the next trip back.
 Provencher told Captain Stevens that he and his brother left Bland ing last Friday and thumbed their way here in two and a half days. He said about 35 drivers pi cked them up on the way.
 On the last occasion when they were arrested here for the army. Captain Stevens said the brothers also were charged with breaking in to the railroad roundhouse and stealing an acteylene torch which they later tried to sell in New York.
 Captain Stevens returned them to Fort Wright after that incident.
 The brothers were arrested last night by Lieutenant Ernest Pakul and Patrolmen Joseph Cayanaugh, Joseph Kendrick and Joseph Deres- kevice.
 Asked why they left camp without leave, Provencher said. We couldn't get any leave so we just took it."

 United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, March 20.-UP)- President William Green of the American Federation of Labor ad- vised Congress tocay against enact- ing restrictive legislation" which would take the heart out of the voluntary cooperation" of workers in the war effort.
 ''CompulSion can do nothing that free workers will not give in larger and more generous measure when they are offered the opportunity to cooperate" Green told the Senate military appropriations suh-com- mlttee.
 He denied that the provision flor overtime pay after 40 hours a week is standing in the way of war pro- duction, and said that delays due to strikes have virtually ldisap- peared."
 Delays, he said, result from other causes. He cited slowness of major industries to convert to war produc- ton, scarcity of material, competi-

were involved. Krupp originally exported
cemented carbides In chunks-and was unsuc-
cessful. General Electric-and its subsidiary,
Carboloy Co., Inc.-found it necessary to develop
a complete engineering and manufacturing SER
vice, making various types of Carboloy equipped
TOOLS training in their use, and offering to its
customers a specialized and successful produc-
ton technique. For purposes of fair comparison
a typical German cemented carbide tool, in
1925 cost S22 2o in the United States, while
comparable American Carboloy tool cost SILL
Loss to General Electric for Many Years
Art Taught to Industry . In times of peace
and 1923 was such time-the measure of
success of industrial adventure is to be found in
profit to the adventurer. By such measure,
Carboloy could not be called successful Initial
expenses were great. For time the Company
lost at the rate of $1,000 day, and once had an
operating deficit of more than million dollars
One of the major contributing reasons was the
continuing high cost of development, standard
ization and training. In lo36-37 alone, training
courses were given to 10000 men in industry.
Moreover, six major price reductions were
made in the face of operating losses, until the
standard tool blank had been reduced in price
90 per cent.
Faith and Perseverance, -. Depression was
still another reason-iabor- saving tools could
not be sold to industry or labor at any price.

stances of unlicensed production, staying ahead
of its market.
Production Multiplied Forty-Five Times In
Four Years Il. Cemented tungsten-carbide
could easily have been source of weakness
here, it in England, had it not been for
General Electric's policy of continued expan-
sion. In 1899, the production of the Carboloy
Company was less than 10000 lbs. in 1910,
it was SIS, 900 lbs; in 1871, it was 10000
and in December came Pearl Harbor. Now, in
1912, the Company's production is going at a
rate that is IS times that of only four years ago.
Britain Dependent Upon Us /. By contrast,
British companies, which had been content to
continue customers of Krupp, found them
selves cut off from the vital material when
Poland was invaded. But the General Electric
Company was able to supply substantial guam
titles to British industry Immediately and since
then has continuously filled British orders 1t
has, in like manner, filled Canadas require
ments since 1896. 1t is currently supplying
Canada, Russia, and other United Nations All
this in addition to supplying the greatly ex-
banded needs of American industry.
An InspirationaI Story of American Industry
-. Thus the story of Carboloy does not end in
too little and too late" Like many previously
untold stories of American industry, it con-
tinues, sturdy and inspiring example of public
service born of private enterprise, and charac-
terized by hard work, ingenuity, investment,
research, risk, and courage-a familiar pattern

More Precious Than Diamonds In War Pro-

More Precious Than Diamonds I'm War Pro-
duetion :. F.. Carboloy is an American trade
mark for cemented tungsten-carbide, an alloy
second only to diamonds in hardness more pre-
cious than diamonds as vital material in
Americas war program. 1t is used for the tips
of cutting tools, and for wear-resistant dies.
CarboIoy is used in small quantities; it is diff
cult to make and difficult to use-but it has
never been scarce in modern times. There is no
scarcity now.
Invented In Germany-krupp Protected by
u. s. Patents :. Cemented carbide was in
vented in Germany-it belonged to Krupp of
Germany and this made all the rest of the
world Kupp's customer In this country, Krupp
was protected by patent grants from the United
States.
General Electric Creates Independent Pro
duction The General Electric Company
two years before this had begun research on
tungsten-carbide and foresaw its Importance in
industrial production. For immediate use in its
own plants and for easier availability to others,
General Electric undertook the long and ardu-
Gus negotiations for the American rights. Linn
tied rights were obtained in 1923 with Krupp
continuing to export the material to its United
States customers, business which languished,
however, as General Electric painstakingly de-
veloped its own Carboloy technique. This paved
the way for General Electric to make the United
States entirely independent of Germany for its ce
mented tungsten-carbide supply as early as 1886.
American Tool Costs Half That of German -.
