first of two explosions which
sank her last July 80 in the

titled today.
The coxswain told a Navy general
court-martial at the Washington

apparently by two torpedoes.

Five minutes after he returned
from this trip below decks, Keyes

Keyes said he felt he should have
been instructed to go below and pass
the abandon ship order, but none
was given. The next order to him
he declared, was when the Officer
of the deck ordered him to abandon
ship.
Did you take that as persona
order or as an order to pass thu

Overcomes Deficit
In E Bond Sales

Washington's S85, 100000 Vic
tory Loan campaign has gone
over the top by $13,000,00O, the
District War Finance Committee
announced today as large sales
OF V Bonds to corporations
took up the slack caused by dis
appointingly low" series E sales
to individuals.
Wilmer J. Waller, chairman OF
the committee, said sales surgeo
upward of $21, 100000 in the past "a
hours, raising the total subscription
in all categories to $98,000,000, OF
1853 per cent of the quota. Mr.
Waller pointed out, however, that
series E sales were tagging at ST..
300, 0,000-64 per cent of the s27 7,000,.
900 quota.
Corporation sales, which begar
Monday, jumped to $58,500, ,000 OF
1856 per cent of the 43,000,000 quota
Larger individual issues were also
oversubscribed with $22 100000 re.
ported, or 148 per cent of the $15,.
100000 goal.
Washingtonians must buy $9,700,-
900 in the E category by Saturday
if the District is to meet its quota
in that division, Mr.. Waller said.
Yule Bonds Suggested.
He urged a new, all-out effort by
bond statesmen and buyers to make
up the deficit in the last three days
of the campaign.
Mr.. Waller gave Washingtonians
the reminder that Victory Bonds
make an ideal Christmas present
Victory Christmas Bonds delight
the recipient, give a spiritual lift
to the donor and contribute to the
economic welfare of our country by
easing inflationary pressure" hi
said.
Money invested in Victory Bonds
is money that will not compete with
the now-limited supply of consumer
goods" he added. 1T is not the type
of competition that tends to drive
the cost of living up."
