submarine activity still was immi-
nent in the area.
Shortly before the ship sailed at
m. July %, Capt. McVay told the
lieutenant that he planned to con-
duct antiaircraft firing practice en-
route and that he would ask the
port commander at Leyte to send q
plane towing target on July 80. II
was on that day that the ship was
sunk, but it was not until four OF
five days later that survivors were
rescued.
1t. Waldron added that after the
Indianapolis was sunk there were
several additional submarine con-
facts in the area.
Course Near Sub Track.
The three submarines reported In
the vicinity Of Capt. McVay's route
to Leyte were within a short dis
tance of the track which the Indian
apolis followed. 1t. Comdr. Alan r.
Mcfarland testified.
Called as an expert witness by the
prosecutor and as a former destroyer
commander, Comdr. Mcfarland tes-
tified after charting the course OF
the ship that on July % an enemy
submarine was u miles from the
track which was to be followed by
the cruiser and on July rs two other
submarines were 95 miles and los
miles from the ships course.
One OF the spectators In the court
was Capt. Mcvays wife.
Thirty survivors OF the Indian
apolis were summoned today Ito
testify.
They were called by Capt. Thomas
j. Ryan, Judge advocate, to testify
on events aboard the l0,000-ton
cruiser Immediately before an ex-
plosion ripped through her forward
magazine and on the chain of events
which preceded the order to Aban-
don ship, about Is minutes after
the explosion.
Rescued Men to Testify.
Several of the witnesses recently
have been released from hospitals to
which they were brought with others
of the 316 survivors who had clung
to debris and water-logged life pre-
servers for four or five days before
being accidentally discovered by a
Navy plane on a routine mission.
There was some indication yester-
day that the alleged failure to take
antisubmarine precautions will be
sharply fought by Capt. McVAys
Capt. John P. Cady, his counsS,
entered an objection to this char1S
on technica1ity, which was ovek
ruled. There was no objectionsto
the second charge. e
Holds Silver Star Medal.
In addition to the crewmen, it Is
expected that Naval experts will be
called to testify on whether the
cruiser was struck by torpedo, and

McVay, who lives at 2126 Connecti.
cut avenue, was pale but composed
at the opening Of the court. He
stated soon after the disaster that
he ordered his navigator to send the
appeal for aid. The navigator was
among those missing.
Although Capt. McVay was
charged with negligence and cul.
pable inenciency, Navy records re-
vealed that he won the Silver Star
Medal for "his skillful seamanshir
and efficient operation of special
equipment" during a bombardment
OF Japanese airflelds and shore in
stallations on Kolombangara the
night of March 5, 1945. The cita-
ton added: His courage was ar
inspiration to the officers and mer
under his supervision and was in
keeping with the highest tradition
of the Navy.

sion selective placement plan was
promised here today by DR.. Ray
mond Hussey. dean OF the Wayne
University school Of occupational
health; DR.. II. L. Krieger, Ford
Motor Co. medical director, and
DR.. Carl Peterson of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. when
they addressed the VINO Insti-
tute for selective placement.
The conference Of 100 delegates
representing "A states and Canada
are meeting here TO discuss plans
for the placement of disabled vets
of this war.
DR.. Krieger pointed out that
"one of the main difficulties in
this placement is getting the
handicapped to realize that the
medical department wants 10 help
him." He also stated that the
medical profession must learn
something about the actual jobs
by observation.
Harold Hayes, VINO supervisor
in charge of placement, told dele
gates that the foremen in the
plants could be the biggest aid in
placing vets in the proper jobs.

Washington (JPS) = The i'm
mediate opening of Palestine's
doors to the homeless Jews of

in a memorandum submitted to

that at least 800 of them wish
to go to Palestine, and to similar
reports from other liberated areas.
It is revealed that the British
Ambassador promised to forward
the memorandum to the British
Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden,
with a recommendation that it be
given the most urgent and SYM
pathetic consideration.
