Allies Still Silent
On Berlin Report Of
Capture Of Bormann
By b, Associat.d Pres.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE BRITISH FORCES
IN GERMANY, Sept. 1.-Mystery
deepened today concerning the
whereabouts of Martin Bornann
Adolf Hitler's chief deputy in the
Nazi party, whom the Soviet-con-
trolled Berlin radio last night re-
ported 'in Allied hands"
The broadcast, Berlin reported to-
day, was based entirely on dispatch
from the Allied press service In
London. The dispatch said the pub
lication of Bormann's name in an
official list of Nazis to be tried at
Nuremberg as war criminals cons
firrned that he "also had been ar
rested"
Twenty-four hours later, no gov
ernment or military spokesman had
made public any information estab-
fishing that Bormann was in GUS
tody.
Authorities at Field Marshal
Montgomery's headquarters specu-
lated that If Bormann is not dead
or not living in disguise in the
Russian zone he may be hiding
among the drab masses of former
SIS men herded by the Allies into
numerous prison camps, hoping for
an opportunity to escape.
The Stockholm newspaper Alton
bladet published an unattributed
report that Bormann was heard in
broadcast yesterday from a secret
German radio.
The newspaper said Bormann de-
clared in the broadcast-which was
not reported by other listening posts
that Adolf Hitler was still alive
and in Germany and that the Nazi
"old guard" would be heard from
when the Nuremberg trials begin.

Commissioners Rule
Radio Stations Exempt
From Eight-HourLaw

The Commissioners have ap-
proved a decision of Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech hold
ing that the Districts eight-hour
law for women does not apply to
broadcasting companies, thus re-
versing an opinion approved last
year by the Commissioners apply
ing the law to the Capital Broad
casting Co. which operates Station
WWDC.
Six local stations, which sub
mitted briefs contending they were
not covered by the law, have been
notified of the decision.
The original decision holding the
Capital Broadcasting Co. respon-
sible for the provisions of the eight
hour law was approved by the Com
missioners on August II, 1914. On
May % of this year the Minimum
Wage and Industrial Safety Board
during a meeting with representa-
tives of the broadcasting companies
agreed to withhold action against
any company until briefs had beer
filed with the corporation counsel.
Different From Telegraph Field.
This new decision of Mr.. Keecf
agreed with the companies thai
radio broadcasting was different
from telegraphic operations, which
are covered by the law.

impressed with the argument, no
heretofore considered, that tn.

guished from any mechanical de.
vices it may employ, is entirely dit.

| Renamed Sub SquaIus
Sank Jap Carrier
In Storm, Navy Says

/ Inc submarine SQuduuS, WHICH
tragically sank six years ago and
was refloated to operate again as
the Sailfish, was revealed yesterday
to have completed her second career
in blaze of glory. J
The story of 10-hour battle in
mountainous seas during which she
sank a 22,5O0-ton Jap aircraft car
rier of the Kasuga class while Jap
warships dropped depth charges and
shelled her was revealed today by
the Navy The Sailfish has been
awarded the Presidential Unit cita-
ton.
Her commanding officer, Comdr
Robert E. M. Ward, Antioch, Calif.,
was awarded the Navy Cross and
two OF his officers, 1t. Comdr. George
F. Richardson, Tampa, Fla, ex-
ecutive officer, and 1t. Walter F.
Murphy, BOonton, N. j., were
awarded Silver Stars.
Today-her second career at an
end-the Sailfish is docked at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard awaiting
decommissioning.
Sank Off Portsmouth.
AS the Squalus, she sank in 24C
feet of water off Portsmouth, N. H.
May %, 1889, during diving exer-
cises.
The dramatic highpoint of hel
career began in the midst Of q
Pacific typhoon when her skipper
found he was on the flank of fast
group of Jap men-of-war.
The sea was mountainous, driv.
ing rain churned the surface ano
only the radar screen revealed the
presence of the enemy ships in the
inky darkness.
Relied on Radar.
The skipper bided his time, hold
ing the submersible on the surface
until he could locate the largest
target, and relying on the radar
screen to keep the quarry in sight
Finally, just as an enemy destroy
er loomed close by, Comdr. Ward
took his ship down and fired tor
pedoes. Soon he heard the impact
of two hits. Within few moments
the Sailfish was being attacked
with depth charges.
The attack continued a hall
hour, and again the Sailfish sur
faced to seek out the crippled
ship. The Sailfish had scored, for
the carrier was tagging, although
circling evasively.
4 AS visibility improved in the
morning light, the Sailfish fired
two more torpedoes, which brought
immediate reaction from the Japs
Sub Dares Shellfire.
"The japanese on the stricken
! carrier started firing all over the
place." the Navy related. But they

which slowly crept toward its VIC

Finally she was located by Jar
gunners.

within a mile of the carrier now.
With their victim lying dead II
the water, the subs crew released
two more torpedoes for the "coul
de grace" Blasts thundered abov,
the howl of the wind as the carrie
began to break up. Nine minute
later the enemy ship disappeared
beneath the surface.
The Sailflsh went on to sink

: afterward, she added a second carg,
ship to her toll, this time 1900

With that-her torpedoes ex

The Boy With The Gun

Paul Manning, MBS war CORE
spondent in Europe, thinks the most
important citizen in the world is
the boy with gun. He got this
idea from previous correspondent
experiences in the European war.
Just for example, he will never for
get the time he flew one of the
longer bombing missions of the war
"a two thousand mile nonstop
flight from England to Gdynia, Po-
land, one of the most perilous and
dramatic missions of the American
Eighth Air Force. 1t was twenty
five hours in the air, and they were
on oxygen all the time.
When they returned home, Paul
said, they were missing the right
wing tip of the plane, had but ten
gallons of gas in the tank, and two
of the boys were dead, one of them
with his head blown off by can
non shell.
"You don't find democracy in New
York, Washington, London or
Paris Paul says, "You find true
democracy in a plane lodging flax
or in slit trench. The boys there
are tired, nervous, high strung. They
are cold and don't eat too well, but
they're the incest, kindest, most
genuine people in the whole world,
aside from the fact that they are
great soldiers. They can't do enough
