Sunken S lib-Boat's Crew of 33 Feared Dead
Depth of Sea
Grave Kills
Rescue Hope
Bits of Wreckage Come
To Surface, Indicating
Smashing Compression
PORTSMOUTH, N. II., June 21.
(AP) A possibility that the
sunken submarine 0-9 and her
crew o 33 dead might be left on
the ocean floor, entombed under
a compression of 440 feet of wa
ter that has crumpled the craft's
steel shell, was sounded today by
the navy's high command.
Secretary of the Navy Knox,
obviously deeply concerned, told
newsmen that "at that depth it is
impossible for divers to conduct
salvage operations so far as we
now know."
"It is a terrible thing," Knox
added, "but everything that can
be done will be done."
That all aboard were dead, offi
cials no longer expressed doubt.
In Washington, simultaneously,
navy men said they thought an
attempt would be made to sal
vage the 23-year-old 0-9, recently
recommissioned, to remove the
dead, determine the cause o the
tragedy and gain experience in
underwater work under- tremen
dous pressure.
Talking to an Associated Press
man aboard the rescue ship Fal
con, Admiral Richard S. Ed
wards, commander of subma
rines of the Atlantic fleet, also In
timated the cause of the sinking
might go unsolved. He said the
cause could not be determined
"until and if the submarine is
brought up."
A final answer as to whether
salvage will be attempted, ho add
rd, depended upon the findings of
two navy divers who will go
down during the day.
No Life Signs Found
Admiral Edwards, reporting the
grappling lines definitely were
hooked to the 0-9, said there was

rfERMANY and Italy report
today (Wednesday) the
"crushing" of the British offen
sive at Salum, on the Egyptian
Libyan border. They assert that
the British troops are retreating
under heavy fire by axis land
and air forces.
They picture the British opera
tion as an attempt to rescue the
siege-bound British garrison at
Tobruk.
IJERE is the other side, as dls
closed in a British dispatch
from Cairo:
"The British Middle East com
mand acknowledged today that
British advance forces withdrew
yesterday (Tuesday) to forward
positions on the Libyan front to
avoid an encircling movement
by GERMAN reinforcements."
The Cairo dispatch adds:
"We had accomplished our flb

disclose their strength."

This writer, having no Inside

know, of course, but suspects
that the British report Is not far
from the truth.
There has been doubt as to the
extent of German strength in
Libya. The British had to

that they took this means of find

The Germans apparently are

Robin Moor
Piracy Charge
Compensation Request,
Coupled With Warning,
Slated to Follow Soon
BERLIN, June 21. ( AP)
A German spokesman
commented today on Presi
dent Roosevelt's message to
congress yesterday on the
sinking of the Robin Moor:
"Mr. ' Roosevelt made a
speech and the stock market
fell two points."
So far that was the only
authorized observation on
the address.
WASHINGTON, June 21.
(AP) Sumner Welles, under
secretary ot state, announced to
day that he had transmitted to
the German government a copy
of President Roosevelt's mess
age to congress branding the
sinking of the S. S. Robin Moor
the act of an international out
law."
A strong note demanding that
Germany make full reparations
for the sinking was expected to
follow. Welles told reporters
that this demand would be made
as soon as the proper compen
sation had been decided upon.
It was considered a foregone
conclusion that this nation's of
ficial representations would in
clude a direct warning against
any further molestation of
American shipping. .
The president withheld any in
dication of the means which
would be used to make his force
ful declaration effective. In this,
he adhered to his established pol
icy of keeping the axis leaders
guessing.
No Trade Ships to Be Armed
Speculation here centered on
the possibility that the navy
might receive orders to police
the waters sailed by American
shins, giving them any protec
tion necessary. Some thought
the Atlantic patrol might oe in
structed to take direct action
against any German submarine
encountered.
In general, the idea of arming
merchant ships was discounted.

Fred Osmers went to the stairs
whore he was confronted by the
bandits and ordered to return to
the offices. There the bandits
proceeded to tie up Mrs. Osmers
and C. F. Osmers, ordering Fred
to open the safe.
Meanwhile, Weber arrived and
was greeted by the stickup trio
with orders to be quiet and was
then tied up. After having the

1st Contract
Wage Increases, CIO
Shop Granted; Trouble
Lingers at Other Places
By the Associated Press
Wage Increases for some of
the Ford Motor plants were in
dicated today as employes made
ready to attend a Sunday mass
meeting in Detroit to ratify a
contract providing a ClO-unlon
shop and the dues checkoff.
Announcement of the signing
of the historic agreement, the
first union contract ever entered
Into by the Ford company, was
made jointly by CIO President
Philip Murray and company offi
cials. The United Auto Workers
looked for detailed negotiations
on wages to begin next week.
The terms of the contract signed
in Washington provided that any
increases are to be retroactive to
the date of the signing.
The workers themselves meet
tomorrow to act on the Ford-CIO
agreement, which calls In gen
eral for wage rates equal at least
to the highest paid by other mo
tor firms as well as those mak
ing stejcli, rubber, glass and ce
ment. The pact makes t h e CIO
spokesman for all Ford workers
except supervisors, and provides
time and a half for overtime
and double time for Sundays and
holidays. R. J. Thomas, UAW
president, described It as a pat
tern which he believed would be
universally adopted before an
other year.
