To aggravate the mechanical difficulties a northeast wind off the Banks of Newfoundland is blowing, with heavy seas and a pea soup fog. All day long compressed air was pumped through air lines into the flooded after compartment of the Squalms, the tragic part of the vessel where twenty-six men were trapped. Slowly, the terrific force of the air is forcing the water out of theme^flooded compartments. The latest plan of navy officials is to drag the Squalus into shallow water. Where she lies now the cold is so terrific that divers can only work a few minutes at a time* So the navy is bringing up huge tugs to try to yank the submarine along the bottom. Meanwhile, the water has been forced out so as to lighten the load a bit. - 0 - Another chapter in the 1940 Republican presidential oampaign.*- Senator Arthur Vandenburg of Michigan allows his hat to be thrown in the ring* His letter allowing hie name to be urged is a trifle coy, but the meaning Is plain* He doesnft seek the office but he adds: "No American could decline if chosen."
