PAGE EIGHT GARAGE OWNER ‘IS ADMIRAL’ GUEST FOR DAY Indiana Man Gets Chance to Watch Salvage Work, Claim- ing to Be an Expert Boston, Dec. 29.—(7—A garage keeper of Lafayette, Ind. was speeding home today after a amaz- ing round of adventure during which he inspected salvage operations at | the scene of the S-4 disaster at Provincetown .was dined by Rear| Admiral Frank H. Brumby, whisked | across Massachusetts bay in a) destroyer and finally sent to his| hotel here in an admiral’s private; car. Charles Shambaugh was intro- duced to newsnaper men by a cap- tain in fuil uniform at the Charles- town navy yard. 4 Reporters summoned to mect “a civilian expert,” found themselves confronted by @ middle-aged man, soberly dressed with well worn, but polished shoes, a leather coat, a) suit of plain mixture, a plain white! shirt and a sober tie. He clutched a gray cap in nervous hands. r “This is the expert, gentlemen, said the captain, “He will tell you his observations and, conclusions.” Doing Fine Work e “The navy is doing everything possible,” Shambaugh began. “ have been watching them all day, and they are doing wonderful work. ‘Why, do you realize those divers have to go down 100 feet before they begin to work? Gosh, I think Yd = eer 3 pretty good if I just go d 100 feet, with all those weights and heavy shoes, to say nothing ‘of ing up again.” Shambaugh arrived at the navy yard Tuesday. It was too late to catch a destroy- er which had just steamed out of the harbor, so a naval tug was used. “Did they know you at the navy yard?” he was asked. “Oh, no, I had a long telegram from Admiral Brumby. You see, when I read about the wreck I sent Admiral Brumby a telegram telling him that I was interested and want- ed a conference with him.” “Did hg tell you to come?” Knew He Would Be Welcome “Well, I'll tell you. I don’t re- member the words but it was a long telegram and it came direct from Provincetown. It was so down- right warm and friendly that I knew I'd be welcome when J got there.” Shambaugh “gi the night on the flagship, ie mine sweeper Bushnell, after having eaten with the admiral. He was accommodat- ed in officers’ quarters. The next day he inspected the Bushnell, her companion ship, the Falcon, from which diving opera- tions are conducted, and after that the S-6, a submarine somewhat like the S-4. He refrained, he admitted, from suggesting improvement in opera- tions to the admiral but, then, there was little improvement that seemed ne Under questioning he conceded he was not an expert at all and knew nothing about salvage work, had never seen a diver until yester- day, and as a matter of fact, it was Capital , THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE the second time he had ever been aboard a boat... Came Through Curiosity “What did you come east for?” he was asked. ; “Pure idle curiosity. Yes, sir, when I got that telegram from Ad- miral Brumby I knew I was going to be treated right. I couldn’t have been used better if I had been Rockefeller. It cost me $100 to come east, but I’ll tell you, it was worth every cent.” This ended the interview. The admiral’s car was at the door and Shambaugh stepped in. As it sped out of the navy yard guards at the gate snapped to attention and the “expert” was on his way home. SUBMITTED DRAWINGS OF RESCUE DEVICE Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 29.—(7)— Charles Shambaugh, Layfayette ga- rage owner, went to the scene of the S-4 disaster salvage operations yes- terday to deliver to Rear Admiral Frank Rumby drawings of a device he had invented to rescue men from a sunken submarine, it became known here today. J Some weeks ago, it was said, Shambaugh read in a magaizne that the government was seeking an in- yention for the rescue of men in dis- abled submarines. Shambaugh, who is knownu here as an_ inventive genius, drew up two sets of plans and drawings for a device he had in mind. When the S-4 was sunk Sham- haugh wired to Admiral Brumby, of- fering to submit his invention as a possible sid in the rescue work. On receipt of a telegram from the Ad- miral, Shambaugh left for Boston. Shambaugh is reputed as an ex- pert automobile mechanic, and has built two or three racing cars for Iluse at the Indianapolis speedway races, Dairy Herds Only Farm Stock Which Shows an Increase Chicago, Dec. 29.— (AP)—Dairy herds alone of farm stock showed an increase over a year ago in farm holdings reported December 1 to the federal reserve bank of Chicago.
