ORTIZ DIES;
FRIEND OF U. S.
Ex-Argentine President Is Pneumonia Victim After
Resigning. Post.
BUENOS AIRES, July 15 (U. P.). =Dr. Robero M. Ortiz, former president of Argentina and one of the United States stanchest friends In this country, died today. He was 56. Broncial pneumonia caused his death, 20 days after he resigned as president. His health and eyes had been failing since 1940, and on July 3 of ‘that year, he turned his duties over to Ramon 8. Castillo and retired to his summer palace, hoping that rest and medical treatment would cure him. Twenty days ago, however, it became apparent that neither his eyes nor his health were
improving and he resigned. Castillo - became president. .
Hope Is. Abandoned
Dr. Ortiz contracted influenza several days ago, and, subsequently bronchial pneumonia. His physicians abandoned hope early today,
- and Monsignor d’Andres adminis-
tered extreme .unction. : Even in his illness, Dr. Ortiz had
' expressed support. of the United
States and her allies, while the Castillo administration was cautious in rebuking Germany for sinking. several Argentine ships. Argentina and Chile never have broken diplomatic relations with the axis, as have every other nation in North, Central and South America. Dr. Ortiz was born in Buenos Aires in Sept. 24, 1886. He married Maria Luisa Iribarne, who, with three children — Maria Angelica Ortiz de &ilva, . Roberto F. and Jorge Luis—survive.

AN EAST COAST PORT, July 15
States merchantman, with a hole, in her side “big enough fo drive a tank through,” outsmarted an asis U-boat May 22 in the Caribbean, limping into port after a 12-hour
survivors related here. - None of the 39-man crew was lost. Two seamen suffered minor injuries. Seaman John Flaherty of Orange, N. J., said they were about 60 niles
off a West Indian island when the}
torpedo hit amidships starboard. “The ship began to list and in a few minutes was at a 40 degree angle, but instead of abandoning her, the captain had a. plan,” Flaherty said.
‘Old Ship Rights Herself’
“He sent the first mate (ame unknown) below—and I'm telling you the first mate deserves a ricdal if anybody ever did—to shiff the water ballast from starboard to port. And all by himself, the mate shifted the ballast and the ol¢ ship righted herself. “The mate then rounded up: every sailor on the ship and placed them around the deck to watch for the sub. “Watch for the damned sub— and no overtime,’ he yelled 2( us. “By this time we were plugging along at about five knots with a hole in our side big enough tc drive a tank through. “We laid down sort of a smoke screen by putting more oil in the burners since we knew the sub was still on our trail. “The third mate was watching from the stern with a pair of tinoculars when suddenly he shouted: «aporpede! Torpedo!’

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, July 15 (U. P.) —Allied planes sunk a small vessel and started fires amond wharf
U. S. forces in Iceland. Maj. Gen. Clark is 51. He did staff and supply work in the last war and graduated from three major -army schools, the infantry school, command and general staff school and the army war college.’ Gen. Clark, while instructor with the Indiana national guard, served with the headquarters staff of the 38th division which is now in federal service. Holding the rank of captain when he first went to Indianapolis in 1929, he was promoted to major before leaving. Contrary to his initials of M. W., the general was known here as Wayne Clark.
“About 30 minutes later, less than 100 yards gft, a big cloud of black
water. I thought at first it was a ship bearing down on us, and I started running with the rest of the crew for the rail. But it disappeared just as suddenly as it had come. “We decided later that it was a third torpedo. It evidently hit a Teef. There was'no explosion-—just a huge puff of black smoke. “I guess the sub must have given up after that, because we weren't bothered anymore. We reached a West Indian island about €:20 the next morning, 12 hours aiter the first attack.X”
