Dramatic Race 75 Men Trapped In Sub At Bottom Of English Channel UE CREWS HAVE BEEN UNABLE | RE TO MAKE PHYSICAL CO) 18.—¥ (AP).—A dramatic battle] Princess May LONDON, April against time'and the ele- ments is being waged in the English channel. A submarine has been stuck on the bottom in 198 feet of water for 40 hours. Its normal oxygen sup- ply: could last only about 40 hours, A reserve supply might extend that for eight hours —and so the 75 men aboard may have eight hours of life left. But rescue crews so far have been unable to make physical contact with the sub. They know only ap- proximately where it is. For a time, faint under- water signals from the sub were picked up, but now they have stopped. The last was heard at 2:30 a.m., EST. The crippling of the sub- marine is a mystery for many reasons. For one, why have the crewmen not started com- ing to the surface through escape facilities? The sub has not even released mark- er buoys, that would rise to the surface and show its} 7, position. Only a wreck could be expected to prevent that, and in that case there should he debris and an oil slick. But neither has been seen. Marvin Creel Is Wounded In Leg Pfc. Marvin S.
