BEGIN SQUALUS | SALVAGE WORK Salvage Work On Sunken Submarine Resumed This Morning Portsmouth. N. Y.. May 29 <U.R) ——■Under a cluud-fleck'-d sky the navy resumed full salvage operation* on the sunken submarine , Squalu* today while ashore the post chaplain announced plans for I . Memorial Day services honoring ■ the ship's 20 dead. Commander Albert E. Stone said ' he would eulogize tbe lost crew of the Sqii.ilus In u brief sermon at the National cemetery on a hillI top in the yard. He also planned , a special afternoon memorial service for the crew with simple, music and prayers for their nouls. Children, marching with voter* 1 ana* organizations from Ports- . mouth and nearby Kittery, will scatter lilac* and other Bowers from a bridge into the Piacataqau river as a marine and a navy bugler sound taps. Salvage work began soon after dawn when a diver returned to j the surface in an electrically-heat-ed suit to report that freezing air- ■ lines, which threatened to trap a I dozen companions, were In working order. Work had been halted temporarily because of the danger that ( air line* would freeze but later a diver had tested the water in an 1 ■ electrically-heated suit, others re-' 1 turned to tbe job breathing an oxy-1 ' gen-hellum mixture that had a lower freezing point than ordin-1 ary compressed air. The task of raising the flooded - i submarine and the 2« dead of her j crew became Increasingly more difficult because of weather condl-1 lions, and some naval authorities believed II might not be complet- I l ed before late In the summer. I In view of the delay, the navy I was beginning an offit lai invest Iga-1 , cles that the government of Prime I Minister Neville Cbumlteriain hop-1 , *d soon to send a note to Germany , . again opening the door for a gen- , era! Euro|*-aii settlement and pou- > I sibly offering Adult Hitler a non- , aggression treaty Both moves as well as the I - . mounting ho|K- of a |*-itod of |H-acei , — depend upon developments I I which might easily change overnight. The millkms of Imyonuts . are still ready on every frontier. I ,j Whether they suddenly will bu| . I used to puncture present |H-ace i .. prospect* depends upon how Europe's ruler* judge the comparative - strength and solidarity of the j | totalitarian bloc and the rival so- ■ . curity front formed by Great Brit-, sin and Franca. But for the moment, the aecur-' ■ Ity front leaders were confident that Britain and Bovlct Russia, would complete their military al-j ' ItaMO shortly and that France and ' ■ Turkey would cotne to terms returning the province of Alexandria. In Nyria, to the Istanbul gov-1 eminent. Those two objectivesi would bring both Russia and Tur - key into the “peace" encirclement - of Germany and Italy and com- 1 plete probably the most isrwcrful I security front In history. Against such a united front 'which has nothing to gain *nd I everything to lose by war —there Is a growing lielief that Germany l and Italy would prefer a period of I peaceful consolidation and nego-i ilatioti of cnnfllcta in view of France's willingness to meet at | least a good share of Italy's de-1 i mauds In the Mediterranean.
