NAVY TO TESTBELL ABLE TO SAVE 18 New Device Will Be Tried Out on Fatal S-4 at Early Date. ___(Continued From Page One) substitute for the “lung,” which will re- main the primary escape contrivance for American submarines. It will be used in emergencies where use of the lung is impracticable. Such contin- gencles are when the water is too cold for safe escape by means of the “lung” or when members of the crew of the disabled vessel are too weak from gas The new rescue chamber, it is thought, might have effected the re- lease of the men trapped in the ill- fated British submarine Poseidon, sunk recently in the China Sea. Had it been in existence at the time of the S-4 disaster, too, serious loss of life probably would have been averted. As in the case of the “lung,” which was the invention of American naval experts, the Government will make no attempt to keep the design of the new apparatus secret. Under this policy the rescue chamber undoubtedly will be made available to other navies. Tests at 100 Feet. In the tests with the S-4 at New ._(mdon the chamber will pe tried out at depths of 100 feet or more, with | eondition: simulating those of an actuai ter. The deep sea experiments ill follow immediately after several oreliminary tests to begin June 22 at the New York navy yard. Experiments with three previous types of belis were conducted at Key West during the Winter of 1930, with varying degrees of success. As a result of ‘those tests the three types were abandoned in favor of the new design, which has been developed in the bureau of construction and repair of the Navy Department under direct supervision of Lieut Comdr. Allen R. McCann. Because of McCann's intensive work in designing it, the rescue chamber has been referred to as the “McCann bell,” but’ McCann modestly declines to ac: cept credit for its invention. He de- clares it is “a bureau development,” to which a number of persons have con- tributed valuable ideas and advice. Technical details of construction were handled by Lieut. Comdr. J. W. Page of the Naval Construction Corps. Pear-Shaped Chamber. The bell as now evolved is a large, pear-shaped chamber of steel, with self-contained air motors for drawing it to the deck of a submarine by means of a steel cable, previously hooked to an eye on the hatch of the sunken craft by a diver. It is operated by a crew of two men, who stay in an air- tight upper compartment. The crew is supplied air, light and telephonic services through cables from a tender. The narrow, lower half of the bell is open to the sea. When the bell is drawn flush against the deck and around the hatch of the submarine, a rubber gasket presses tightly against a circular steel plate around the hatch and completes a seal. The water in the lower part of the chamber then is ex- pelled, making of the chamber a huge | “vacuum cup,” which is held rigidly to the deck by the pressure of the water | outside. In case the submarine is list- | ing badly the bell may be clamped down with bolts. With the lower compartment empty of water, it is possible then for those in the upper section to open a water-tight hatch, descend to the deck of the sub- marine, open the hatch of the vessel and allow the submarine crew to enter The numerical limit of those Tescued at each trip is governed only by | the space_ limitations of the upper chamber. It is estimated about 20 men, including the crew of the bell, can crowd into this chamber if necessary. Ascent Is Regulated. ‘With the rescued men safe in the up- per’ compartment the operators of the bell have only to replace the submarine hatch cover, reflood the lower compart- ment by the turn of a lever, and the buoyancy of the bell causes it to break away and rise to the surface. The speed of ascent. may be retarded by a “brak- ing_clutch,” connected with the cable ocked to the submarine. Water ballast equal to the weight of | éach man taken aboard the bell is | emptied before the ascent, to compen- | te for the added weight. The ballast | is carried in large cans, each contain- ing 80 pounds of water, and is dis- charged by the simple process of dump- ing the contents of ‘the cans into the lower chamber before the latter is sealed off and refilled with water. On reaching the surface the chamber is hauled partly out of the water by a crane, a small hatch on top is opened | and the rescued men are taken aboard | the tender. The bell therr may return | immediately for another load of pas- sengers. THE SUNDAY 'STAR, WASHINGTON, 'D.

If obstructions, such as radio anten- nae of the submarine or other deck equipment, block the path of the bell, it will be possible to raise the pressure inside the chamber to that of the sea, expel the water from the lower com- partment and descend to the mouth the type eventually approved, except that it was not divided into two com- partments. Since the mouth was open to the sea, it was necessary to keep the pressure within equal to that of the sea. This bell proved dangerously unstable near the surface. It tipped and bobbed about, spilling bubbles of compressed air out of the | mouth and threatening the lives of the men experimenting with it.

The first bell tested by the Navy after | the S-4 tragedy was a non-buoyant steel cylinder fitted with three hand- | operated winches to which wers con- | nected three light anchors. The anchors were dropped at opposite sides of the submarine and used to center the beil over the submerged vessel's hatch Contact_with the S-4 was achieved in the trials after much difficulty, due to| pitching the surface vessel, and the type finally was tabooed. ‘The second bell consisted of a pres- sure-proof steel shell designed to be hauled down to the stricken submarine by a buoy line released by the sub's crew and reeled in by a hand crank within the submarine. It was found that the exertion necessary to haul the bell down was exhausting to the sub- marine crew and required a number of relief shifts. If only a few men were alive, it would have been a tremendous task to reel the bell down. Conservation of physical energy is essential in such Throughout its journeys to the bot- | tom and back the men in the bell are | in constant telephonic communication exigencies, and the bell was abandoned as_impractical.

Due to a critical condition now exist: ing in Porto Rico, Robert V. Fleming, preudent of the Riggs National Bank and treasurer of the Washington divi- sion of the Porto Rico Child-Feeding Committee, yesterday issued an appeal for funds to help feed 201,000 children seriously undernourished and “many slowly starving.” ‘The Washington division is asking for generous co-operation of all those inter- ested in the well-being of children to help save the undernourished, stunted and often diseased school children of this Nation’s island possession. The di- vislon asserted thousands of these un- fortunates have been subsisting on a single meal a day. Over 200,000 Hungry. President Hoover recently had a sur- vey_made under the personal direction of Dr. J. S. Crumbine of the American Health Association, and it showed al- most a quarter of a million children are suffering from malnutrition. Forty- two thousand of them, the survey showed, were being fed one meal a day, at a cost of $10 per child for the school year. Mr. Fleming in his appeal pointed out that President Hoover has asserted that “this is an American job,” and the treasurer added that “our country would not permit_any other to step in and help them. Yet they suffer. May we have an early response from you?” Other members of the Washington group explained ” yesterday that while the devastating ~hurricane of 3 causing property damage of $100,00( 000, focused Nation-wide attention upon the condition of children and funds were raised to meet the emergency, it soon became apparent that malnutri- tion was of long standing and that children must be fed if a constructive health program was to be carried out and the menacing amount of disease re- duced. Feeding Part of Program. ‘This feeding is a part of the unified endeavor to cover a period of six years —fighting tropical diseases, teaching public health, establishing hospitals and clipics and reconstruction work, with several recognized agencies co- operating and Gov. Theodore Roosevelt directing it. Gov. Roosevelt in a recent Nation- wide appeal declared that “these Porto Rican people are worthy of every help we can give them. They are intelli- gent, industrious and loyal American citizens, but have been the victims of poverty and disease. We are working lout a practical program of recovery, but in the meantime we cannot refuse food to the children. when so many of |them are desperately hungry and sick.
