Navy Believes Coastal Subs Are Russians
San Francisco. — (U.P.) High United States navy officers believe submarines reported sighted off the West coast belonged to Russia, but the fantastic possibility that they might be of Nazi origin also is being investigated.
Rear Adm. Frederick J. Entwitste, deputy-commander of the western sea frontier, bolstered the reports of other officers by declaring the unidentified subs are "very probably" soviet vessels on "normal neapctetime operations."
Intelligence officers, Entwisle said, are interested in the strange disappearance of Theodore Donay, convicted of helping the Nazis during the war. Donay, a 51-year-old Detroit importer, rented a motorboat and disappeared at sea near Catalina island at about the same time the coast guard sighted an unidentified submarine Sunday in southern California waters.
At the same time, he said many intelligence officers were investigating the possibility that the reported undersiders craft are of German origin. This new possibility was described by Entwistle as "highly imaginative," although he said that it could be true.
Authentities ordered a handwriting expert to determine if a suicide note found in Donay's hotel room actually was written by him. His brother, Felix Donay, in Detroit said Donay "wasn't the type to take his life." But he said it was "just plain silk" to connect his brother's disappearance with the sighting of the submarine.
While civilian authorities searched for Donay's body, naval intelligence—investigated the possibility that the submarine could have landed someone on the mainland or picked up a person from the water.
Entwistle pointed out that at the end of World War II there were numerous reports that high Nazis had fled Germany in submarines with plans to establish a secret base in some isolated part of the world.
in some soiled part of the world.
Allied intelligence checked these reports thoroughly and found some submarines loaded with equipment for an escape run to Japan. Several were sunk or captured, and at least one was bagged in Asiatic waters.
Entwishe said.
"We believe all were accounted for," the admiral said, "but there is always the possibility that one or more got away."

Albeneri Trio Ends Chamber Concerts By Playing Good Music With Finesse
The School of Engineering was organized in 1891.
By DALE S. ROMIG
It isn't very often that a good story has two climaxes of equal importance, but that is the story of the success of the Albene which played its second concert Wednesday evening.
Strong auditorium was filled to hear Erich Kahn, piano, Giorgi Gloepi, drum, and Benar Heifetz, percussion and la band concert in the chuppier music series.
The second number, "Ten Variations in G Major on Tch bin der Schneider Kakadu" opened with a broad stately movement that could hardly have been written by anyone other than Bemoven. The music almost violent contrasts of sound and color to a triumphant finale.
The program opened with the Schumann "Trio in D Minor." It began with the typical Albenieri finesse but seemed to lack a little of the spark which was so evident in Tuesday's concert.
The Doorak "Dumky Trio" brought the concert to a brilliant close. Beginning with a slow majestic movement, the trio slowed to the 'yrical second movement marked by sensitive passages for all three instruments.
in that movement, the Alberneri rio brought out the spirit of Dvorak, playing the muted phrases sentimentally and the vigorous ending without restraint.
The piece ended with a regal
inale, reiterating earlier themes.
Eight engineering students and faculty members represented the University at the seventh American Institute of Electrical Engineers convention at Norman, Okla., April 3-4.

A semi-invalid student of the Bureau of Correspondence Study has made a career in free-lance writing into a three-year success story.
By JESSIMAI SHIDLER STRANGE
Following an unsuccessful operation in 1946, Mrs. Derr was unable to walk. Three amputations were necessary before she could be fitted for an artificial limb.
She is Mrs. Eileen Derr of Forest City, Mo., a housewife and the mother of four children. Mrs. Derr has completed the bureau's courses in Feature Writing and Magazine Writing and is at present enrolled in the Creative Writing course. She writes regularly for two newspapers and a magazine and does other free-lance writing.
The young mother fought to overcome her handcap and to live a normal life. She had always been interested in writing, and in 1944 had taken a writing course from a national institute. "Yet somewhat," she said, "I never gained courage to send anything out."
Her opportunity came in July, 1947, while she was still on crutches. The Missouri river flooded territory around Forest City.
A few months later Mrs. Derr decided to take up writing in earnest. She enrolled in the two correspondence courses. Her instructor, Lottie
"for lack of something to do," Mrs. Derr said. "I wrote it up and sent the story to the St. Joseph, Mo., Gazette. It was printed under a byline, and I was asked to serve as Forest City correspondent for the newspaper."
Lesh, and the director of the correspondence study bureau, Ruth Kenney, spoke of her excellent work in the courses.
"However." Miss Lesh said, "the real test of her work is its saleability, and Mrs. Derr sells practically everything she writes."
Mrs. Derr believes that readers, and consequently editors, are coming to favor pictorial articles more and more. She has illustrated some of her feature stories with pictures from her own camera. An article by Mrs. Derr in the February, 1949, issue of Household magazine entitled "What'll I Do Now, Mom" and written under the pseudonym "Alice Sprague," was illustrated by Mrs. Derr with her children as models. Mr. Derr is also interested in photography as a hobby. This is a great help to her in obtaining difficult shots that she is unable to take for herself.
Mrs. Derr spoke of the helpfulness of her husband and children in caring for the house. "We as a family are doing our own work. If everyone does a little bit, it is soon all done, and everyone has time to follow his or her own pursuits." The Derrs have three sons aged 11, 9, and 6, and a daughter, three.
Some of Mrs. Derr's most recently published material appeared in the December, 1949, issue of Better
Weapon Collections To Be Displayed
Plans were recently completed for moving two weapon collections to the Military Science building. One collection is now on display in Dyche museum and the other collection is in storage at the Alumni office.
Four showcases are being constructed for display of the weapons. They will be 8 feet high, and will be constructed of oak with glass fronts.
The weapons are from the Civil's war, Spanish American war, World War I. and World War II. The collections contain an 1840 model of a French musket a leg iron and chain from Turkey which was used on Allied prisoners of war during World War I, a Japanese automatic rifle presented to the University by Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead, '20, and a German anti-tank gun from World War I.
There are 125 pieces in the two collections. Capt. Alfred Gallup, assistant professor of air science, said that the two collections should be moved and on display by the latter part of May.
Homes and Gardens. Her instructions and pictures for woven dolls were incorporated in an article on easy things to make for Christmas. She does correspondence for the two St. Joseph newspapers, and sells pictures to them occasionally. She has written several features and poems for Kitchen Klatter, published at Shenandoah, Iowa.
"I seem to have a failing for writing articles from a man's viewpoint," Mrs. Derr laughed. She sold an article to Business of Farming magazine, which she was forced to sign "Ben Garner" because of her masculine line of thought. Her first published article, "What It's Like to a Father," was signed "Expectant Grandfather" and sold to Baby Talk magazine.
Mrs. Derr has several correspondence courses in mind for the future—"courses in cartoon, versification, and photography, all of which are closely related to furthering writing salesmanship," she said.
