Navy Diesel School Training
200 Mechanics q Month
Veteran Submarine Officers Give Course
So Stiff Only Best Con Make Grade

igniting of the fuel as a result Of the
high compression
"A gas-powered tank, armored car
or any other vehicle is not dan
gerous as long as the fuel tank is
filled. But as the gas is used you
run into vapor which forms COM
bustible mixture. An incendiary
bullet won't hurt fun tank, prob
ably. except to make it leak, but
an incendiary, plus that vapor, is
something else"
Sub men. like 1t. Rudios petty
officers, make outstanding Diesel in
structors. They know the engines
and they know what they can mean
in emergencies. AT New London,
Conn. however. is the submarine
school, Here is only the surface
school, although loaded with pig
boat veterans. 1t. Rudio, only COM
missioned officer left mere now, is the
lone exception. In the Mexican
campaign in 1915 he was an Army
flyer. In two years in France he
was in the Army Signal Corps. In
civilian life he was crack engineer,
one of the many called by the Navy.
No sub man, he is thoroughly sold
on Dieses-and the Naval Training
Station ball club, headed by Bob
Feller. 1t. Rudio is baseball officer
and sudden heir to what he has been
looking for all spring-a shortstop.
He's getting AL Brancato of the AS
and now he figures the N. T. S. out
fit, winner of % of "a games, lis
ready to roll"
Sold on Diesel Subs.
Diesel men are like connoiSseurs
of old hams or juleps; they draw
fine distinction lines and hew to
them. For example: Send Chief
Brown here" says 1t. Rudio to
yoeman in his Office. Chief Petty
Officer E. L. Brown, beached because
of faulty hearing after IA years of
sub duty, appears. What about
the Diesel?" asks 1t. Rudio.
Well" answers Brown, our old
A. B and C subs had gas engines
and we were scared stiff most of the
time. Fumes. explosions and men
aces like those Then the French
built helluva big sub that ran by
steam. 1t went down-maybe you
remember reading about it. None of
us minded the life on Diesel subs"
Don't get me wrong" concluded
Petty Officer Brown, 1--WE been
scared plenty of times. Once we
caught our bow under a coral ledge
at 161 feet. Another time we had
fresh water in our tanks and hit
lighter, salt water by accident and
dropped to 1876 feet before we could
stop. But these are long stories.
Diesel subs just aren't bad at all"

u. !. Rests in Trial
OF Sin Civil Service
Files Removal Case
Defense Counsel Likely
To Ask for Directed
Aequittul Verdict

The Government today rested its
case in the District Court trial of
four men and a woman charged with
illegal removal of civil service per-
sonnel records. Counsel for the de-
PENDANTS Immediately began argu-
ments leading up to an expected plea
for a directed verdict of not guilty.
Final evidence introduced by As
sistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray was a signed
statement given to agents Of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation by
Miss Katherine Kay. formerly Office
manager of the Standard Business
Service, a firm which had been en-
gagged in the compilation OF mailing
lists for sale to commercial estab-
lishments and mail order houses.
She is one of the five defendants.
The others are Harlan G. Crandall,
former employe of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission; Walter A. C. Camp,
Werner j. Orbach and Lawrence L.
Haynes. The last named became
associated with the Standard Busi-
ness Service following the death OF
his father, Linford Haynes, its
founder.
Deals Origin Related.
Miss Kay's statement, dated Feb
ruary S, 1941, recited that her first
knowledge that the late Mr.. Haynes
had been dealing" with civil serv-
ice information sheets was in the
summer of 1910. At that time, the
statement declared, Mr.. Haynes
told her he had been approached
by Mr. Crandall, who told him he
would procure the records 80 Stand
ard Business Service could compile
mailing lists from them.
Mr.. Haynes also told her. accord
ing to the statement, that Mr.. Gran
dali advised him he could carry the
personnel sheets out of a building
occupied by the Civil Service Com
mission ANY time he desired"
Il realized at this time" the state
ment continued, that in reality
Crandall was not supposed to take
these original Government forms
out of the office of the Civil Service
Commission, and upon examining
some of these forms I was definitely
of the opinion that they were not
supposed to come out of the Gov
ernment files.
Motives Explained.
81 realized from my own Govern
ment work experience that it was
wrong to take these forms out of
the Government office, I believed
that it would be possible to make
very good mailing lists from these
forms and Mr.. Haynes (deceased)
would be able to salvage something
out of the work for the benefit of
the Standard Business Service, so
1 continued to help Mr.. Haynes
administer the affairs Of the busi-
ness because of my personal SYM
pathies for his struggle"
Miss Kay's statement said she
was not positive of the amount of
money invested in the Standard
Business Service by Mr.. Camp and
Mr.. Orbach, but she estimated they
brought to the Office an average
Of from $700 to $500 a month from
September through at least October
and possibly part of November, 1910.
The late Mr.. Haynes mentioned to
her, the statement added, that Mr..
Camp and Mr.. Orbach were financ-
ing compilation of the Civil Service
mailing list.

Boxing Boards
Pay Discussed
ByHouseUnit
Action Is Postponed
On Bill Proposing
$1,000 Salaries

A bill to authorize compensation
for members Of the District Boxing
Commission and to make ceftain
changes in its regulations was dis
cussed at a meeting of the House
District Committee today, but &C
ton was deferred until the commit
tee can muster a larger attendance.
Claude owen, chairman Of the
commission, told the committee that,
while he would hesitate to recon-
mend what pay members should re-
ceive, he thought he should report
the amount of time they were giving
thus far without any compensa-
tlon-to the commissions work.
There is one fixed meeting a week,
he explained, and frequent special
meetings and also the weighing-in
of boxers which the commissioners
always attend.
He added there were many per-
picking problems that required extra
time and attention.
$4,000 Salary Proposed.
The pending bill by Representa-
tive Hartley, Republican, of New
Jersey, "the father of District box
ing" would allow the commissioners
$4,000 a year each to be paid out Of
the revenues from licenses and per-
mits.
District Commissioners, however,
recommended that compensation be
confined to $40 a meeting for each
boxing commissioner.
Chairman Randolph said he
doubted that $40 a meeting would
be sufficient to compensate the men,
bers for the time they we're forced
to spend away from their regular
work.
Mr.. Randolph added that he
thought much praise was due the
three boxing commissioners for
the way they had conducted fight
cards in the city.
The other members of the COM
mission, Thomas P. Morgan and
Police 1t. John Agnew, we're present.
The Hartley bill would allow the
weight of boxing gloves here to be
reduced from 8 to ounces, the lat
ter the usual weight in professional
bouts. and would exempt the Police
Department from being required to
furnish one member of the COM
mission.
-Four Bills Approved.
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech was instructed to discuss
further with the District Commits
sioners the matter of compensating
the boxing commissioners.
The District Committee approved
four bills. One would authorize the
extension of railway tracks from the
Jersey yards to Buzzards Point to
facilitate expansion of the Navy
Yard.
Another measure changes the
name Of Conduit road extended. be-
yond the District limits to Great
Falls, Md. to Macarthur boulevard.
A previous act of Congress changed
Conduit road within the city to Mac
Arthur boulevard.
The third bill incorporates under
congressional charter the United
Philippine War Veterans. Its mem
bers include men who served in the
Philippines during the insurrection
early in the century and during the
first World War.
The fourth bill allows DR.. Wesley
K. Davis to practice chiropractics.

enrolled in the payroll plan at all. Prob ably some of these laggards are buying some bonds. But we'll wager an over length cigar in Willkie-for-P President wrapper = or, if you prefer, we probably can find one in Roosevelt wrapper that mighty few who aren't signed up on the payroll are putting 10 per cent of their wages into bonds. One out of every four workmen isn't helping at all, and the other three aren't averaging 10 per cent deduction, but only per cent.
 If workers were averaging 10 per cent of their wages in war bonds, the Treasury would be taking in $500,0O0000 month that way. As it is, only $500, 100000 a month is coming from workers invest ments. Obviously, there are workers who cannot possibly put 10 cents out of every salary dollar into war bonds, and support their families, and pay their taxes next year. But these are exceptions, and If everybody did what he was able to do, the ones who really cannot make the grade would be more than offset by those who voluntarily are doing more than their share.
 On the sole basis of patriotism, of desire to help save this country and democracy in general, of the will to beat Hitler and JapanaziSm, we commend the TreaSury'S drive to every loyal American. If that isn't enough, then let's talk plain selfish ness.
 Can you tell us where we can get as large a return, with reasonable safety, as from our governments war bonds? Would you prefer a program of mandatory en- forced saving to provide the government with the money it must have, or will you invest voluntarily? How much fun do you think you would get from spending the wages the Nazis or Japs would allow you, if we didn't beat them?
