Capital City Newspaper ASSOCIATED Seamen Save Many Lives in Torpedoings Ship Carrying Survivors of 6 Earlier Sinkings Sent Down WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (P) The valor of a handful of American seamen was credited today with saving the lives of scores of their shipmates and passengers on four torpedoed Nations vessels. In two East coast ports, survivors of the merchant ships, sunk during October and November, told of the man who risked drowning to patch life boat, the young seaman who gave his life to lower boat for others, and of those who chose certain death rather than overcrowd a boatload of survivors. One ship, which carried survivors of six earlier sinkings, three of which were announced previously by the navy, was torpedoed in attack early last month off South America. Altogether 135 men are dead or missing from this action, the navy reported last night.

Two torpedoes -struck the medium-sized merchantman and it sank in about 10 minutes. The ship carried 229 persons including 169 American seamen saved from the six other sunken vessels. And while only 164 were rescued the loss of life would have been heavier but. for the heroism of at least two men, One was an unidentified young seaman who cranked a loaded lifeboat down its davits as the sea swirled around his legs and then carried him down with his ship. Another was Seaman Frederick J.

Mills of Detroit, who patched up shattered lifeboat at sea with salvaged canvas. Desperate shipmates clung to his feet as he worked with head and shoulders under until he AMBULANCE DAY NIGHT Phone 2400 Rollie Funeral Home PARIS NOW THEY KEEP OUR CONVOY'S SAILINGI Pacific RENDEZVOUS with LEE BOWMAN Jean Rogers Mona Maris PLUS "Song of the Islands" with BETTY GRABLE VICTOR MATURE THE SANTA PRESS SANTA FE, NEW GRIN AND BEAR IT -By Lichty Chicago A a "You're sure, now doctor, that the army won't want you 'til you finish my operation?" was blue with cold and gasping for breath.

At his home in Detroit Mills scoffed last night at the survivors' tales of his heroism.

AND MRS. AMERICA" FE NEW MEXICO, TUESDAY, DECEMBER Congressmen Can't Wait For Vacation Many Have Left Washington Already; Quorum Lacking WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (P) -Legislative pressure due to war may deprive congress of formal Christmas holiday. It appeared today that the historic 77th congress, which has been in session virtually without respite for two years, might work right up to the Jan.

2 deadline before adjourning sine die, and Democratic leaders discussed plans to convene the 78th congress on Jan. or 5. Many representatives already have departed for a Christmas at home, however, virtually erasing all chance of passing any measure lacking unanimous approval, since one member could stop a bill by simply raising a point of no quorum. This apparently meant that such legislation as war-time tariff suspension powers, the telegraph company merger and longer-hour pay adjustments for federal workers, now pending on the house side, would be put on ice until reintroduced in the new congress. However, the preponderance of session-end work rested with the senate, now bogged down in a quagmire of legislation already approved by the house.

Among these measures are: 1. A redefinition of agricultural parity, designed to bring about wartime adjustment of farm price floors and cellings. 2. An -requested grant of authority for the president to establish controls over rents on all real property, commercial as well as residential, and to regulate rooming house rates. 3.

A $5,000,000,000 increase in the borrowing authority of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. Spangler New GOP Chairman ST. Dee. 8 (P) -The Republican national committee harmoniously united again after one of its bitterest feuds in history set about organizing for the 1944 Presidential campaign today under a new chairman labeled a neutral toward all candidates and one who said he was ready to call in and discuss strategy with all factions. He is 63-year-old Spangler, Iowa party formerly associated bert Hoover and Alf campaigns.

He was electi chairman by acclamation late vesterday to succeed Joseph W. Martin, of who resigned to devote all his time to his duties as leader of an enlarged house minority, The Cedar Rapids attorney who has been a member of the committee for 10 years, emerged as a compromise choice to break a two-ballot deadlock between Werner W. Schroeder, Chicago attorney and Illinois commtitee member, opposed by the Wendell L. Willkie forces on Isolationist grounds, and Frederick E. Baker, a young Seattle business man.

Schroeder and Baker withdrew and proposed Spangler's election in the interest of harmony. The Willkie forces stopped Schroeder as they set out to do, but could not claim Spangler as their man. nor could any other presidential possibility. A Willkie spokesman said their group was satisfied, though, because Schroeder had raised an issue and it was successfully met. Smith Elected Head of Masons Willard C.
