By JOHN ]. ANDREW
COLOMBO, Ceylon, July II. (UP)
three survivors of an
American Liberty ship, their sun
burned bodies bearing scars from
beating and bayoneting inflicted by
a Japanese submarine crew who
murdered about n of their ship
mates, told a story today of two
hours of hell aboard the enemy
craft.
One phase of their ordeal ended
and another began when the sub
marine crash-dived while they were
sitting on its deck, their hands
bound behind their backs.
The survivors, finally rescued and
brought here, said the first man
taken aboard the Japanese vessel
from their lifeboats was shot in
the back and tossed overheard. The
submarine crew then formed a
"line of death" and Systematically
dubbed and bayonetted the Liberty
ships survivors.
The men brought here spent 36
hours in the Indian ocean before
they were rescued.
AMONG SURVIVORS
The survivors included members
of the American merchant marine,
army and navy personnel and a civ
ilian. Their i0,500-ton Liberty ship
was bound for India from San Pc
dro, California, with Al merchant
Seamen aboard, % navy armed
guard members, one army medical
surgeon and 30 army and civilian
passengers. They were II days out
of Australia, cruising at IL knots
Just after sunset on July 2 when
two torpedoes crashed into the for
ward part of the vessel. All hands
abandoned ship.

marine surfaced and ordered sur

meSsman, who was making his first
voyage, was led to the bow, shot in
the back and tossed overheard.
AS the others climbed aboard, they
were stripped of watches, rings, wall
let's, Identification tags, and shoes.
They were bound and taken forward
where they were forced to sit facing
the bow with heads bowed.
Captain John J. Gussac, "A, Brook

who was en- route to an assignment
in India, was in life raft alongside
the submarine.

and before I knew it, had been
stripped of my watch and ring and
had my hands lashed behind me

EDUCATED IN U. S.
Gussac said the japanese form

Along the deck were submarine
crew members armed with bayonet-
ed guns and iron pipes. Among
them was a japanese who spoke

Ex.Nazi Banker
Says Gold Loss
Hits Body Blow

CHICAGO, April 9. CUP)-Dr Mel
chior Palyi, former chief economist
of the DeutSche bank of Berlin and
adviser TO the Reichsbank, said
Monday that the Allied seizure of a
$l0C 100000 Nazi hoard was certain
to paralyze Germany's finacial op-
erationS.
The hoard, most OF it in gold bull
lion, was found Saturday in a Ger
man salt mine. 1t constituted all of
Germany's pre-war gold reserve,
Palyi said.
ut is likely the Allies will take the
gold as a reparation. That means
Germany won't have any gold to
back up her currency Her money
won't he any good outside Germany.
Inside Germany, the money will be
good only if strictly controlled"
Palyi said the German gold re-
serve in 1889 officially was estimated
at $70,C90.000. An additional S20,-
000,C0G was taken over from Czecho-
slovakia when Germany annexed
the Sudentenland, and a small
amount of Belgium's gold reserve
was taken, he said.
There is no basis to assume the
Germans have got much more than
the $100,000,00O," Palyi said. IF they
have stolen gold from the occupied
countries in addition to this sum, it
couldn't have been very much be-
cause most of the gold belonging to
