Hundreds of persons watched the plane go down, but before anyone could reach the scene of the crash the seven occupants had climbed out and were standing on top of the fusilage.

The Navy, telling about it, Sun- day said this was the longest un- derwater run ever heard of. The submarine, the Pickerel, is one of the *"snorkel" type that has a. short breathing tube that sucks air from the surface. The Germans had them on their suws first, but ncw both the U.S. and Russia have them. The achievement, disclosed as the U. S. submarine service prepared "to celebrate its 50th anniversary tomorrow, pointed up the growing importance being attached to un- dersea craft. Recent tests, showing that sub- marines can be used to launch guided. missiles have made them a threat against coastal targets as well as sea commerce. At Pearl Harbor, Cmdr. Paul R. Schartz of the Pickerel called the long voyage "all in the day's work, just a routine tesi."

Comics ... PULLMAN CAR CONDUCTORS T0 STRIKE Chicago, April: 10 (AP)--About 2,200 pullman car conductors in Canada and the United States to- day were ordered to strike at 6 p.m. April 17.

A strike by the pullman car _ conductors would tie up Pull- man parlor and sleeping cars on railroads in the United States and Canada, Members of the order of railway conductors have voted overwhelm- ingly in favor of a strike, a union spokesman said. A major issue in the dispute be- {ween the union and the railroads is the union demand for a cut in hours from 225 to 210 a month with no cut in pay. * Conductors now earn a basic wage of $323.20 to $356.20 a month. They work 30 days of 7's hours each and want 30 days at seven hours each. Mercy Killer Gets Penitentiary Term Allentown, Pa. April 10 -- (AP) --Harold A.
