SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.—(P)—A girl from Nashville who
was in the air over Honolulu in her training plane that Sunday

out of the sky.
She was blond, blue-eyed Miss Cornelia Fort, newly arrived as

Depth Bomb Is Dropped
In the elapsed time since we had
left our share of the convoy, some 30
miles away, and followed back on a
track of smoke, the sub had had an
opportunity to get only four or five
miles at most. Her best strategy would
have been to follow up the torpedo,
cross under the burning ship and
either lie motionless at 200 or 300 feet,
delicately holding her balance, or to
ease her way toward shallower water
for a resting spot on the bottom
Hence Lieutenant Glannatti conned
his bomber over the area opposite the
side from which the torpedo struck,
while Lieut T. R Ford, commanding
officer of the Aruban detachment of

Down went the depth bomb straight
to its mark. Then a splash and a wisp
of smoke as the bomb exploded under
water, with a boil of water.
Flames Finally Win
If the sub was within a couple of
hundred feet of the center of that
bomb explosion, the Germans have

March 5—Behind us, as we skimmed
over the Caribbean with our bomb bay
door open and our bombardier ready
for action, a volcano was erupting.
Already, hardly 20 minutes after the
German U-boat's torpedo found its
target, the big, seagoing oil tanker was
settling. Her precious cargo of oil—
millions of gallons—now fed a roaring
furnace. A twisting cloud of black
smoke poured from the leeward side

LOS ANGELES. March 4.—(P)—Air
raid sirens roused most of downtown
Los Angeles' residents early Wednes-
day and kept them awake through 35
minutes of shrieking, but there was
not any raid.
A civil defense official said the
trouble apparently was a short circuit
somewhere in the elaborate automatic
system which turns on downtown
sirens Those in outlying districts
were not affected.
The army's air raid warning serv-
ice was kept busy denying that even
an alert had been ordered. Radio sta-
tions remained on the air
would be to force such a popular de-
mand for unlimited coastal protection
in the Americas that the navy would
be compelled to give up some of its
offensive patrol and convoy duties for
purely defensive activities in this
hemisphere.
Into this strategy of panic, authori-
ties here fit the current wave of U-
boat attacks off the Atlantic coast,
sporadic submarine assaults on west
coast shipping, the shelling of oil cen-
ters in California and at Aruba, and
the bombardment of Mona island
Sooner or later, it is deemed likely
by informed persons here that the
Germans will add to their panic cam-
paign the psychological warfare of oc-
casional air radis on east coast cities

More than 100 men, including all
officers, were lost when two torpedoes
from a lurking U-boat, fired within
15 seconds of each other, sent the 23-
year-old destroyer to the bottom. As
she slipped deneath the waves an hour
after the attack, her depth charges
exploded. Sailors clinging to life rafts
were blasted into the sea and were
drowned.
The navy did not disclose the exact
casualty list. A destroyer of the Jacob
Jones class, however, normally carried
seven officers and 125 to 150 men.
In the hour the destroyer still float-

WASHINGTON, March 4 — (PP) —
The navy's effectiveness in maintain-
ing ocean supply lines despite enemy
counteraction was credited Wednesday
with driving the axis powers to rasher
tactics in their submarine campaign
to divert U. S. fleet units to home
waters.
Naval experts said the enemy
seemed to be growing more reckless in
attempts to create a panicky fear of
coastal raiding activities here and in
Latin America. They cited as an
example the shelling of Mona island,
off Puerto Rico, where there was no
conceivable military reason for the
enemy to waste a shell or risk a ship.
Both the Germans and Japanese
must be fully aware, it was said. that
the steadily increasing flow of Amer-
ican munitions to the battlefronts m
Europe, Africa and Asia will have to
be broken up this spring and summer
if the axis nations are to prevent its
becoming an overwhelming flood of
