Gives detailed, Dramatic story 0f Bismarck

(By Louis V. Hunter) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) LONDON. June 19-iCP>~—-An of-

ficer who watched the sinking of the Bismarck said the “unsinkable" pride of the Nazi navy went down “like a dog that has been run over. someone had got to finish him off —because her colors were still flying at the mainmast head."

The officer. who followed the act- ion from the bridge of the battle- shiu Kin! George V. told in an 1n- terview one of the most detailed and dramatic stories of the battle that brought revenge to the Royal Navy for the loss of H. M. S. Hood. the world's biggest warship.

“Throughout the flight on the Admirals bridge we sat. stood leaned like a_covey of disembodied spirits." he said after describing the earlv part of the engagement. "None of us will ever know if it was cold.

{Gehringer not ' ‘Up t0 form 0f Other years

NEW YORK. Juno 19-411?)- One of our favorite baseball play- ers isn’t doing so well. He isn't hav- ing “that good year." as Del Bak- er woul say, and as a consequence the fans are brought to a fuller realization of Just how much Charley Gehringer has meant to Detroit down through the years.

He never was a fellow to beat the drums for himself. He's a ball player out there doing a. day's work.

He’s done it with such ease and ryihm that he has been taken more or less for granted. and the fans abruptly realize something is miss- ing when Charley's bat stops blast-

ing.

Most ball players. particularly in- fields-rs, are long since through at 38. so expecting a man at that age to stage a comeback perhaps is asking for loo much.

It uias predicted the Tigers would slip when Hank Greenbcrg left the lineup, and his absence unquestion- ably has much to do with the club's present fifth-place spot in the Am- erican league.

But there 1S a doubt as to wheth- er Greenberqls absence rr Gehring-

I "The second splash I missed. all except one shot which seemed to belong to King George V and was a little ahead of Bismarck. Then I watched Rodney to see if she was being hit but she just sat there like a great slab of rock blocking the northern horizon and suddenly belched" a full salvo. 1 actually saw these projectiles flying through the air for some seconds after they left like little diminishing footballs curving up and into the s y. "Now. I am sure that four or five hit. There was only one great splash and a sort of tlurrv of spray and splash which might have been a. waterline hit. The others had bored their way through the Krupp armor belt like cheese and pray God I may never know what they did. as they exploded inside the hull.

"Bismarck turned north. steaming about 12 or 14 knots. We kept tum- ing in arid cut to confuse the en- emy rangefinclers. all the willie closing the range rapidly.

"The Admiral kept saying: ‘Close the range; get closer, get closer. I can't see enough hits.’

“And so we closed the range—"

From then on. the officer con- tinued. there was no escape for the Bismarck.

He said that after 20 minutes. “when the glow of great fires was incinerating men inside the German ship," although some of the sec- ondary armament still was firing a little wildly. he saw a. steady trickle of little human figures racing across the deck and jumping into the sea.

“We lust shot the guns out of her and left a smoking. lurching black ruin. It made one feel a little sick to see such a mighty powerful ves- sel brought to the state of an 1m- potent hulk.

"Our battleships turned away and (the cruiser) Dorsetshire closed. in and. finished her off."
