They were the first to be told of the official dispatches from the scene of the sinking. By order of Lt. Commander J. J.

JUDGE RULES AGAINST GIBSON SALT LAKE CITY, May 24 (UJ) District Judge Peter C. Evans has ruled that Dean J. L. Gibson of the University of Utah is not entitled to participation in the Utah State Teachers' retirement system. Judge Evans upheld a ruling of the retirement board that Gibson was not eligible because he holds a contract with the Teachers' Insurance In-surance and Annuity association and is entitled to benefits from it. Gibson brought suit to be declared de-clared eligible. The board based its denial of his eligibility on the contention the state would be doubly liable if teachers are allowed allow-ed to have contracts with both pension systems. The retirement board , was given its costs of suit and the petition for a declaratory judgr ment denied.
