 "We were cruising along of the Albanian coast" Colvln said. "when I sighted what we in this business call a submarine captains dream come true a large enemy ship steaming unescorted. This one was 8 big one Q passenger liner replete with two promenade decks. She probably was being used by the Italians as a troop transport.
 Anyway, 1t was too good to be true and I thought was seeing things. There she was sailing along all alone. and in broad daylight, and we were sitting pretty right in her path waiting for her to pass. She was a modern, fast-looking ship.

under the funnel where it could do the most damage-right in her en- zine room. It was really quite spec tacular, for a great mass of water and steam gushed into the air.
 They were lowering lifeboats pretty fast and for aw hile 1t looked as though she might not be going to sink. She was too fine prize to lose, so I began turning about pre- pairing to fire another torpedo. I aimed at his foremast and strange ly enough this torpedo hit smack in the same place as our first hit, di- rectly under the funnel
 Happened All At Once
 '"There was a split second when nothing happened, then 1t all hap pened at once. The whole after part of the ship lifted out of the water and she went down bow first abso- lutely vertically. Both of her pro- pellers were visible in the air aS she nosed down. It's possible she might have been an armed merchant crul- ser, for she was camouflaged and apparently was being used by the
 
 Italian navy.
 Colvln described this patrol as his "week In the Adriatlc." He also sent an Italian "water-carrier" to the bottom off the Jugoslav coast. "She was escorted by one destroy err" the submariner said, which did a counter attack with dept charges. forcing me to go deep. Her attack never got close enough to worry us."
 During his Adriatic patrol Colvin saw "a lot of litle fellows" as he put 1t, but he kept waiting for the big ones and let the little ones go by" He's been skipper of a Subma- rine for three years himself. but was more anxious to talk of the great record established by the sub marine he now commands than of his own personal successes.

That's real shooting. and I think you'll find it's probbaly the greatest submarine record on the books. especially since those att tacks included three upon enemy submarines, the most difflcult of all targets"

Former COP Leaders
 In Legislative Battle
Names of Williamson, Mackenzie Before General Assembly; Committee FavOrs, Governor Opposes

Hartford, Conn.,, March % - (UPD - The legislative forfeited rights committee today voted Q favorable report on Q bin restoring the rights of another high-rankine Republican leader who served . jail term in connection with the Waterbury municipal scandal.
 The committee voted to restore the rights of Charles E. Williamson, Darien, former close associate ol Harry Mackenzie, Bethel, whose rights resolution was approved in the house late yesterday after three ballots.
 The Mackenzie resolution now goes to the senate, where it IS sched. uled for action next "wednesday, The Williamson bill goes on the house calendar today.
 Although Governor Baldwin was opposed to the Mackenzie blll. there were some reports about the capi- tol that he may permit 1t to be- come law without his signature. II he does veto it, only bare major lty vote of both houses was neces- sary to override the veto.
 \ Some lawyers at the capitol in- sisted the governor has no author ity in the matter at all, and that a two- thirds vote of the legislature Is all that is required for forfeited rights bills.
 Meantime, the judiciary commit tee voted favorable reports on the governors renominations Of three common pleas judges John T Dwyer, Norwalk, Richard s. Swain Bridgeport, and John r. McDon- ough, Naugatuck.
 The comittee also voted favorable reports on resolutions appointing Sheldon B. Smith and Freeman Light Norwalk city court judges. The judiciary group also voted favorable report on bill which would authorize the state welfare commissioner to pay medical ex- penses in excess of the $40 monthly maximum old age assistance pen- sion. The cost to the state waS estimated at from $20O, 900 to $S0O,' 900 annually.
 The committee voted an unfavor. able report on @ bill authorizing old age assistance payments to persons in state institutions.
 House Majority Leader Repre- sentative E. Lea Marsh, Jr., in a let ter to the League of Women Voters said he favored increased Legislative control over the governors appoint ments. Marsh said the house should have greater voice in confirmation of gubernotorial nominations, which usually only go to the senate.
