Cuban Vessel Sunk
Off Coast; Is Lost
Survivors Rescued
After So Hours
By the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec 10.-An en-
emy submarine torpedoed and sank
the Cuban freighter Libertad off the
East Coast last week, drowning
seven creWmen and leaving 18 miss
ing of the ships complement of 43,
the Navy disclosed today. Survivors
arrived here yesterday.
A naval vessel picked up the 18
survivors after they had clung to
RATS, capsized lifeboat and a
broken hatch cover for So hours.
The ship went down within one
minute after the torpedo struck aft
on the port side. The crew had no
opportunity to launch boats.
One group of nine men clung to
a broken hatch cover hurled over
board by the explosion. One by
one they slipped beneath the water
as they became exhausted.
The two survivors said that after
36 hours a Navy blimp appeared
overhead and dropped rubber life
raft containing food and a first aid
kit.
Naval officers here said there were
some indications the ship had struck
mine, but Fourth Engineer Saliva
dor Norman told reporters he was
sure we were torpedoed." He added
the attack came without warning
and that the submarine did not sur
face. =

Axis Claims Sinkinq
OF Newest Batt|eship
Wisconsin Launched
Only 3 Days Ago
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 1O.-Tokio propa-
gandistS are now sinking American
battleships as fast as they are
launched and months before they
are ready to put to sea.
The Berlin radio, quoting a Toxic
report, soberly announced today the
sinking of the 45,00O-ton U. S. S.
Wisconsin "in one o fthe biggest
sea battles off Bougainville."
The apprenticeship. Wisconsin
was launched only three days ago at
Philadelphia on the second anniver-
sary of Pearl Harbor.
The time necessary to fit a bat
tleship for sea after she is
launched is a wartime secret, but
more than year was required in
peace times to fit smaller warships
than the Wisconsin with guns and
fighting equipment.
Another broadcast, direct from
Toxic, said the vessel which the
Japanese claimed to have sunk was
a sister-ship of the Wisconsin which
had been launched and sent into
action secretly and that the United
States had launched the new Wis
consin this week with public cere-
monies to cover up loss of the previ-
Gus vessel
This broadcast said the japanese
had sunk five United States battle
ships in action off Bouganville.

Senators Recommend
Mustering-0ut Pay
OF $500 10 $500
Committee Provides
Higher Rote for Those
Serving Overseas
By the Associated Press,

Legislation to give all members
OF the armed services mastering
out pay ranging from 5000 to
$500 was recommended unani-
mously today by the Senate
Military Affairs Committee.
The sliding scale of payments
would give higher discharge pay to
veterans who served overseas than
to those who remained in the
United States. The plan was in
serted by the committee in bill
by Senator Barkley, Democrat, of
Kentucky, which would have pro-
vided fiat $500 payment to all hon.
orably discharged servicemen.
Republican Senators Austin of
Vermont and Bridges of New Hamp-
shire were authors of the gradu-
ated pay plan, but their bill was
incorporated in its entirety in the
Barkley measure.
One Veteran Testifies.
Earlier, 21-year-old war vet
eran, who lost his left leg in a
Commando action in Tunisia told a
House committee there will be an
other march for a bonus" unless
adequate legislation is enacted to
provide benefits for discharged
servicemen.
Sergt. Lemuel Hendricks of Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Iowa, last witness to testi-
! fy as the House Military Affairs
Committee concluded hearings on a
bill for mustering-out pay, said that
men in foxholes are beginning to
wonder what they are fighting for
and it if was worth it,
Il know what they need and what
they want" he said. They are
concerned about their future and
what Congress is doing for them"
Some of the members of the pres
ent Congress. he reminded the COM
mittee, sent us over there"
Want Aid Pending Job.
1. The desire of most servicemen he
has encountered, Sergt. Hendricks
told the committee, is for Congress
to provide something to carry us
over until we can take care of our
selves" None of them, he added
wants to be thrown on the mercy of
their friends"
The 5000 mustering-out pay pro-
vided in the House bill, he said
won't do the boys too much good
because of pressing needs for hous-
ing, food and clothing after dis
charge.
How long is $10O (the initial pay
ment proposed in the House meas
ure) going to last any man when
that's all the money he has?" he
asked, adding that men dishonorably
discharged are given civilian cloth
ing by the Army, while an honorably
discharged man keeps his service
clothes.
