Navy Tells How Sub
Sank Block Island,
Baby Carrier, in 1914
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

One year ago today, the Navy
Department reveals, the United
States lost the only aircraft carrier
to be sunk in the Atlantic in the
long and victorious American cam
paign against German U-boats.
This ship was the escort carrier
Block Island, which fell victim to
German torpedoes after establishing,
with her escorts, one Of the two best
scores against submarines in the
Atlantic Fleet. Now, the Navy De-
partment revealed today, she has
been replaced by a second Block
Island, commissioned last Decem-
ber 30.
Details OF the Block Islands last
fight provide one of the most dra-
matte sea stories of the war in the
Atlantic. After brilliant l4-month
career fighting subs, the baby fiat
top" and her companions, the escort
destroyers Ahrens, Barr, Elmore and
Paine, encountered a sub about 8
pm. last May %.
Hit Three Times.
Suddenly, according to the Navy's
account, two violent explosions oc-
CURED beneath the carriers water
line. Her commander, Capt F. Mas
sic Hughes, U. S. N, of Selma, Ala,
a native of Charlottesville, Va. gave
the order, Prepare to abandon
ship" Shortly afterward a third
explosion shook the carrier and the
captain ordered his crew over the
side.
Six men aboard the Block Island
were killed by the explosions, but
the rest Of the crew, more than $50
omcers and men-including Is
wounded-were rescued by the es-
cort vessels without additional loss
of life.
AS the Ahrens. which picked up
most of the survivors, moved In
toward the sinking carrier. she To-
Gated the enemy submarine and
guided the Elmore to the attack. An
hour after the first torpedo had
struck the Block Island the Elmore
sank the U-boat.
Destroyer Also Hit.
All night long the four escort de-
stroyers searched the area for any
possible survivors who had been
overlooked, and at 8 am. next day.
the fiotilla got under way for Casa
blanca, the Elmore towing the Barr
which had received torpedo in her
stern during the fight with the u
boat. They reached port safely.
When the attack on the carrier
occurred, the Navy related, six
flyers from the Block Island were in
the air. OF those, only two-Lt.
James G. McDaniels of West Jones'
boro, Ark, and 1t. John F.. Carr of
Birdgewater, Mass.-were saved. The
former was picked up at sea by a
destroyer while the latter, a strong
swimmer, made his way to land.
The most dramatic experience of
the flotilla led by the Block Island,
according to the Nays account, was
the sinking of U-boat by the
escort destroyer Buckley, then ac-
companying her. The Buckley
rammed the sub and as German
sailors poured over her side hand
to-hand fight, reminiscent of 18th
century sea battles, ensued. The
Buckley crew hurled heavy coffee
mugs and shell castings and used
small arms to repel the invaders.
In the end, the Buckley's crew
captured five German boarders and
picked up 81 prisoners from the
water after the U-boat went down.

at sundown only handful of Sen
ators were supporting the item.
The vote was 43 to 9 against the
81, 500 item the Appropriations Com
mittee had recommended. Then
came rollcall of SO to 13 against
changing the Internal Revenue rul-
ing so that members could deduct
some expenses here from their pres
ent $40 900 salaries. Senator Bridges,
Republican, of New Hampshire re-
newed the $4,000 expense motion,
without any change in the tax law,
but this went down, SO to IL.
Senator Barkley had proposed
earlier that the expense item be
cut to $500, to bring it into line
with the Is per cent Little Steel
formula, but this was rejected on
a voice vote.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado then moved to eliminate
the $4,000 the House already had
decided its members should have,
but this failed, presumably because
many Senators who rejected the in
crease for themselves, adhered to
the precedent that neither branch
should interfere with the operat-
ing expenses of the other.
Most Of the Senators who opposed
giving themselves the expense
money said they were willing at
some later time to consider the
merits Of a straight pay increase for
Congress, but felt this was not the
time, nor the manner in which to
do it.
At one point in the debate, Chair
man Bilbo of the Senate District
Committee, announced that, il the
expense fund was approved, he
would not accept it until after his
people have a chance to re-elect
him at the increased figure.
How Senate Voted.

Senate rejected the expense allow

Wounded Yanks Home
Nearly 100000 wounded, sick and
injured American servicemen have
been transported by airplane from
battle zones in all parts of the
world in the two and half years
since air evacuation became an
accepted part of the military medi-
cal program, the Office of War In
formation says in a comprehensive
report on air evacuation for our
wounded servicemen aboard
| One out of five American war
casualties who returned to this
country last year came by plane.
They totaled 43,OOO-a number 10
times as great as the number
brought home by plane in 1913.
Military authorities today are en-
thusiastic about air evacuation and
term it one of the five greatest
life saving measures of modern
military medicine. Without air
evacuation, reported the Air Sur
geon General of the Army Air For
ces, neither sulfanilamide, plasma
nor surgical skill could have avail
ed to save the lives of the wounded"
Not only does air evacuation pro-
vide the speediest means of remov-
ing the wounded from battle zones
to rear areas, but it has proved its
value logistically the Army told
Owl. The same planes that fly the
wounded out of battle areas, have
flown in laden with vital supplies
food, munitions or medical necessi-
ties.
In the fighting zones it is like
ly that the roads are limited in
number and capacity, and that rail
lines are either non-existent or
consist of one track lines. By NOV
ing patients out over these surface
lines, sometimes it is impossible to
move supplies in. Air evacuation
relieves the roads so that there is
no interruption in the flow of
needed supplies.
| Air evacuation has also been en-
dorsed because of its strategic val
lue to the military commander in
battle. 1t is reported to have con-
ltributed to the success of every
major land offensive involving
American forces in this war. The
success Of a campaign, it is said,
1lsometimes may hinge on an army's
liability to evacuate its non-effec-
tives. In Tarawa, for instance, the
retention of the wounded on the
island would have hampered mill
litary operations In New Guinea,
where the only other form of eva
cuation was by foot or on pack
animals over the Owen Stanley
mountains, all casualties were
moved by air.
| The Army, Navy and Marines all
use air evacuation today The troop
carrier commands of the Army air
forces transport wounded from bat
tile zones to rear areas Of safety,
and the air transport command
flies those who are returned to this
country The naval air transport
service carries out a similar pro-
gram for the Navy.

Above Ceiling Costs


OPA Administrator Bowles says:
''We estimate that above ceiling
sales cost American families a bill
lion dollars year. It's made up of
the pennies, dimes and dollars
shoppers paid because they didn't
care or couldn't be bothered to
complain, and that grocers charged
because they had fallen down on
the job of price compliance. Food
represents 40 per cent of the aver
age family's budget. That's why we
feel that everyone retailers
and their suppliers, consumers and
community representatives who
serve on local war price and ra-
tioning boards will want to, back
the food price compliance program. .
