EthW-DowP Plant Was Sub
Target On JulyDay; 1913

That a German submarine tried
to shell the Ethyl-Dow plant at
Kure's beach during the war was
given reasonable proof yester-
day by a letter to his father, from
A. B. Love, Jr.
The attempt to shell the highly
inflammable, and vital war in
dustry's installations at the Kure
beach plant, took place on the
morning of July Is, 1913, at three
o'clock In the morning, it was
learned.
Love was employed by the Kure
beach plant at that time, but is row
working for the firm in Ludington,
Michigan. He learned why the
section was alerted for an air raid
July Is, from a former Army pilot,
who Is now a Dow employee in
Michigan.
Fired Five Pounds
After the Nazi sub had tired I've
rounds at the plant, all Of them
missing their mark by "miles", it
was sunk the following day, &C
cording to Loves story.
Loves account of the vain at
tempt to smash the local war In
dustry, was declared substantially
true, by Louis Hanson, commander
Of the Coast Guard Auxiliary ct
the time.
The story came TO hght through
accident.
W. L. Tisda1e, who Love knows,
was in a barber shop in Michigan
when he noticed a picture OF
submarine on the wall Of the shop,
which is operated by former
Army pilot.
Some Interest
IN conversation, they put two
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1946-03-22

and two together, and concluded
that the sub which the flier had
helped sink the day after it is said
to have shelled at the Kure beach
plant, would have some interest
to Love, who Tisdale knew was
from Wilmington.
The letter states that on the
morning Of the attempted Smelling,
the sub spotted the plane, which
had been ordered to guard the
coast, and submerged before they
could get to it. That was the sub
picture which hangs in the barber
shop in Michigan.
Real Thing
Robert CantWeu who was man
agtr Of the Dow, Kure beach plant,
says the story is probably correct,
because he remembers that a mill
tary plant guard told him that the
alert was ''the real thing" but re-
fused to say what was wrong.
