1STANBUL, Turkey Sunday. q.
April 5.-Rescue workers toiled
through the night into Easter
Sunday to try to pry open the
Turkish submarine Dumlupinar,
formerly the U. S. S. Bumper,
rammed and sunk in the Dar-
danelles narroWs with a loss of
IS to 81 lives.
The Office of the Turkish
Navy chief of staff at Ankara
said early today that 81 men
were presumed dead and that
five had survived. including the
subs skipper, Sabri Tchelebio-
glu.
The five were in the coming
tower when the submarine col
lided with the 4,000-ton Swed-
ish freighter Naboland in yes
terday's pre-dawn darkness.
Earlier reports had said only
fou r survived. Other reports
varied as to the number aboard.
The armed forces press bureau
at 1stanhul said 80 were aboard.
Turkish reporters quoted De-
fense Minister Seyfi Kutbek as
saying the sub carried 81 men.
Reports from the rescue scene
said two bodies crushed by
pressure had been recovered
from the surface. Presumably
all the others still were trapped
in the hull.
Contact With Men Lost.
After six hours of rescue
operations yesterday. contact was
lost with % men trapped in the
stern who had been calling ur-
gently for help over the emer-
gency telephone line that floated
to the surface on a buoy.
The loss of the British sub
marine Thetis in 1889, with 80
crewmen, alone exceeded the
disaster to the Dumlupinar.
The United States destroyer
Hawkins, rushed to the scene
yesterday under forced draft with
doctors and divers aboard, and
other rescue craft continued
their arduous job in darkness
and rain even though contact
had been lost. Among those on
the Hawkins was Rear Admiral
Francis M. Hughes. chief of the
Navy group attached to the
United States military mission
in Turkey.
The Dumlupinar. a 1.526-ton
craft built by the United States
in 1914 and turned over to the
Turks in 1850 under the mutual
aid program, was a modern ship
with snorkel underwater
breathing device.

Council Puts Hagerstown
On Daylight Saving Time
BY the Associoted Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, April 4.
The Mayor and Council have
put Hagerstown on daylight saw
ing time for the summer with
out hearing any of the protests
which always developed in for
mer years.
The Council had announced a
public hearing on the question,
anticipating a lively debate.
No one showed up, either for
or against.
The ordinance puts Hagers-
town on daylight time from April
26 to September 81, the period
when daylight saving is generally
followed in the northeastern
part of the United States.
The action of the Council has
the practical effect of putting all

The submarine was lying under
228 feet of swift current today
three miles north of Canakkale,

ern end of the strategic strait
and close to the scene Of a re-
cent Turkish earthquake dis
aster.
Divers said her badly smashed

and the. current made floating
operations impossible.
Efforts were made to effect
rescue through regular or emer-
gency escape matches. even
though the submarine had only
"a hours supply of oxygen when
contact was lost. Presumably
the after section, too, had been
flooded.
After the Swedish skipper
flashed the alarm the wreck was
located by a buoy hoated to the

over the connecting telephone
line rescuers were told: Rescue

Florida Burglar Tells
OF Murders Here but
Police Doubt Story
Find Many Discrepancies
In His Account of KiIIino
Man and Two Women

A Florida burglar yesterday
confessed to two of Washing
toms major murder mysteries,
but police here branded his
story false.
The prisoner. Floyd Gray, a..
who formerly lived in the 1900
block of L street NV, also ad-
mitted responsibility for the
death of a woman the coroner
has said died of natural causes.
Dade County (Fla.) officials
said Gray's confession appar-
enly was intended to cover the
Staying of Samuel Cooperman
on August S, 1851. and that of
Florence Soriano last Halloween.
Deputy Sheriff Robert Thomas
said the man said he killed a
woman in the New Amsterdam
apartments, 2701 Fourteenth
street NV, in mid-October last
year. On October Is. Mrs. Doro-
thy G. Spann, AZ, was found dead
in the apartment house, but a
coroner's autopsy said she died
of natural causes.
Further Questioning Planned.
Homicide officials here con-
slider Gray's stories a ruse to get
out of his three-year Florida
sentence into the District. where
he believes he could never be
convicted of the slayings.
However, 1t. Lawrence Hart
nett will leave for Miami tomor-
row to question him further.

Metropolitan police have inves-
tigated a purported confession
from Gray. In January, shortly
after his arrest in connection
with a Homestead (Fla.) theft,
he told of the Spann case. Capt.
Aubrey Tolson went to Miami,
talked with Gray and came away

$8.8 Million Loan Is A||ocoted
For Clearance of S|ums in
Capitals Southwest Area B
Federal Allotment
Puts Project Over
Its Biggest Hurdle
By GEORGE Beveridoe

The Housing and Home FL
nance Agency yesterday allo-
Gated $8.8 million in a tempo
rary loan to pay the major costs
of redeveloping the slum- in
tested 76-acre Area B in South
west Washington.
At the same time it allocated
up to $6.3 million in Federal
grants to be used, along with
proceeds from sale of the cleared
land to a private developer, to
repay the loan.
In approving the fiscal formula
submitted by the District Rede-
Velopment Land Agency, Housing
Administrator Albert M. Cole
carried the vast face-lifting job
over its biggest financial hurdle.
The formula provides that the
Districts one-third share of the
multi million dollar operation
can be provided entirely by $3.6
million worth of public construc-
ton to serve the new area. Most
of the construction already had
been planned by the District.
Action Due on Developer.
John R. Searles, jr.. the rede-
velopment agency director. said
the approval means that 1--WE
should be we'll into the stage of
acquiring land, clearing it and
re-housing residents by late
summer"
Still in front of the redevelop-
ment program are two legal &C
tions which question constitu-
tionality of the proposed land
acquisition. Suits, filed on behalf
of two Area B property owners,
ask for a ruling by a special
hree-judge court.
The redevelopment agency is
expected to decide within two
weeks which private developer
should get contract for rebuild
ing the area bounded by Fourth,
I, South Capitol streets and the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks.
Five investment groups are bid
ding for the job.
To Buy and Clear Land.
The newly-approved Federal
funds will give the agency money
to buy the 1855 acres. demolish
existing structures, re-house
present residents and meet ad-
ministrative costs. The cleared
land, under the plan. then will be
sold to the private investor
selected. A contract will be
negotiated between the agency
and the builder. setting forth the
price he will pay to buy or lease
the land and a specific plan for
rebuilding the area. The builder
will rent or sell the housing he
constructs.
Key factor in eventual cost of
the project to the Government
will be the amount the developer
will pay for the land.
How Financing Works.
Here is the way the financing
works:

will use what it needs of the
