'Million-to-One Shot' Said
To Damage Sub's Periscope
Bremerton, Wash., March 10 (U.R) The "Jinx" fleet submarine
USS Greenfish (SS351) was due to rejoin her Pacific group
today following a repair job on its periscope reported damaged
by a "million-to-one shot" during practice bombing by a naval
reserve PBY pilot.
It was the second repair job
on the Greenfish in Puget Sound
shipyard in as many weeks.
Yard workers quickly affected
periscope repair made necessary
by the "freak bombing mishap
Saturday in the Strait of Juan
de Fuca.
Navy officials would neither
confirm nor deny that the sub
marine was damaged by a prac
tice bomb, but the Seattle Post
Intelligencer reported that a
young naval reserve lieutenant
"put out the 'eye' of the submar
ine with a million-to-one shot."
The Post-Intelligencer said:
"While patently pleased at
this outstanding display of
marksmanship by the naval air
reserve training unit based at
Sand Point, naval authorities
said all information about target
practice is restricted.
The newspaper said the un
identified lieutenant dropped a
tiny practice bomb squarely on
the slender periscope of the sub
merged Greenfish, "abruptly ter
minating anti-submarine warfare
practice."
The hit was made by an "el
derly, lumbering PBY patrol
bomber," the Post-Intelligencer
said.
Navy officers in Seattle con
firmed the submarine's peri
scope had been damaged during
the target practice and added

Portlander Thought 1
Holdup Was Gag
Portland, Ore.. March 10 (U.R)
Douglas R. Gerow, president of
the East Side Commercial club,
thought it was a gag Wednesday
night when two men attempted
10 nom mm up at his home.
The pair rang Gerow's door
bell and when he opened the
door one pulled a gun and said
"This is a holdup."
"I thought it was a gag and
that the gun was a toy," Gerow
said.
Gerow grabbed the gun, a .45
automatic which fired twice
without hitting anyone. Finally.
Gerow was struck on the left
temple, apparently with the gun
butt.
The would-be holdup men fled
in an automobile.
Gerow is president of the Unit
ed Finance company.
