JAIL L-DREAKING
 TRIO ARRAIGNED
Three Principals, Includ. ing One Waterburian Gets
 Prison Sentences

Three men recaptured after a five-man break from the New Ha- ven county jail on June received state prison sentences varying from one to possible nine years follow ing their pleas of guilty to charges of jail-breaking before Judge Wil- liam H. Comley in superior court yesterday.
 John Maringolo, 30, of Ansonia, was sentenced to three to nine years; Raymond Knapp, 24, Wa terbury, one to three years; and John (Maud) Anderson, 4S, Water bury, two to five years.
 Anderson, trlsty at the time of the escape, was asked by Judge Comley whether he was under the Influence of liquor when he es- capped.
 He replied that he had had sev- eral drinks, explaining, "the guards were careless in searching people who came to the jail"
 Anderson asked for leniency, tell ing the court that he could have escaped at "any time" but he had not. He said the break had not been premeditated and that he had been just foolish".
 Maringolo also pleaded guilty to two counts of statutory burglary and was sentenced to two to three years, to be served concurrently with the term imposed for breaking jail.
 Anderson was arrested Tuesday night in the Roseland avenue tavern by Patrolman James Little, and Knapp was arrested week ago in a North Main street restaurant by Sgt. John Murphy and Patrolman Paul Moynihan. Maringolo was ar- rested in Torrington a week ago.

8INOAaeASAAO
 Aboard The U. s. Herndon, June 16--No ship was ever more aptly nicknamed than the Lucky Hern- don" Her sister desCroyers are con- vinced she leads a charmed life, ever since the recent tempestuous days when she led an invasion task force to the shores of Normandy escaping unscathed.
 It looks almost easy in retrospect. But 1t didn't look easy when she sailed for "Bald-headed Row." as Lieut.. Douglas Chamberlin, of Seat tie, Wash, tartly called her posi- ton. It was less than two miles from shore.
 Her job was the elimination of five strong points commanding the landing beach. She was to steam ahead of the rest of the task force, so closely behind the Ininesweepers that she once had to anchor to avoid running over them.
 GUNS AND CUTS!
 Known enemy weapons command ing the Herndon's position included two batteries of eleven inch guns and nine of more than 150 nm. That was if she reached the position at all. Between her and 1t were an un- known quantity of E-boats, de- stroyers, torpedo planes, glider bombs, and mines.
 A destroyer's safety is speed. But the Herndons orders were for very slow speed. Her weapons were 3!m- ply her guns. Guns-and the guts of her officers mad men.
 In retrospect, the first days and nights of the invasion remain in the minds of this crew as disjointed 1magss of color and brief flashes of action. The first image was of the size 4 the operation. All day before D-Day the Herndon steamed past conveys of warshipS, merchant ships and landing craft of all kinds. Some- times there were so many ships that from the horizon they looked like . giant city.
 MAGNIFICENT PLANNING
 TlAe next impression was of magnificent planning. When night came the ships slipped silently

German-Occu led territory.

down the smooth sea highway-its lanes searched only few moments earlier by minesweepers clearing the Channel ahead.
 Then the action started. The first scenes belong to the Air Force transports carrying paratroops roar ing over the Herndon at mast height Suddenly the horizon burst into flame. Bombs smashed on the beach, es, jarring the Herndon though she was still miles away.
 At dawn the flag went up on the Herndon's masthead. She was in- side the territorial waters of France The Stars and Stripes were flying over German occupied territory.
 Moments later spurts of flame and a gigantic roar broke the ten sion. The Herndon shuddered as her big guns went into action The first great danger had passed Her skipper, Commander Gran vile A. Moore, Alexandria, Va, had sailed her safely into position Flashes of angry flame were the prelude to the shore batteries an- swering fire. The Herndon's crew was too busy fighting back to no- tice the splash. Shells fell far and wide. One of the ships nearby was less lucky. She was hit repeatedly, settled at the stern and went under in shallow water.
 All through the next days and nights the Herndon's luck held. The nights were tough. Enemy destroyers and E-Boats were reported only a few thousand yards away. German planes droned lazily, seemingly un- opposed, right over the ship-which held her anti-aircraft fire lest her tracers' glare reveal her position With the roar of an express train, bombs dropped a few yards from the ship and exploded with a harm less splash. The crew stood helpless, anxious, praying for the Herndon's luck to hold. The ship just astern ot Us was hit.
 SHORE BATTERIES FIRE!
 The Herndon sent a boat for the wounded. The wardroom became an overcrowded surgery for three hours, until the doctor, Lieut.. ]. g John McPeck, Cortland, N. Y.

could patch the wounded sufficiently for transfer to the hospital ship nearby.
 The days seemed easier. The planes that endlessly criss-crossed the sky were ours. The danger now was from shore batteries and mines. The Herndon came close to both. Once she had to fire her guns when anchored. Shells from the shore battery less than two miles away straddled. her. A mine blew up hardly 100 yafds in front of her bow.
 Yes, luck rode aboard the Hern- don two miles off the coast of France. But men who know the sea know that luck alone is not enough. Skill and courage rode the Herndon, too,
