Show Dnty Corn to Hefugco Mother in Lifeboat After NORFOLK, Va., April 2 OLB The four-day-old son of a Jugoslavian Jugo-slavian consular official cried lustily, lus-tily, today and showed, little evidence evi-dence of the fact that he - was horn "somewhere in the Atlantic" In a crowded lifeboat nearly filled with water.- . "It wasn't so bad." said the mother, Mrs. Desanka . Mohoro- vlcic, in the few words of Eng lish at ' her command. The mother. - a sturdily . built woman 23 years old - with blond hair and bright blue eyes, showed how little effect the ordeal had upon her, when she climbed virtually vir-tually unassisted up the side of a rescue vessel. tn a cargo net. . The naked new-born babe had been banded up to a husky sea man. Mrs. Mohorovicic was en route to this country to join her husband hus-band who is attached to the Jugoslavian Jugo-slavian consulate in New, York when the medium sized vessel aboard , which she - was traveling with her .two-year-old daughter Visna, was torpedoed by a Ger man submarine. She, Visna, the baby and 86 other survivors were rescued after 40 hours in lifeboats by units of the U. S. navy. Of the 122 sea men and passengers aboard when two torpedoes crashed into the Bide of the ship, 30 were reported missing, including Gen. M. DJou-kanovitch DJou-kanovitch of the Jugoslavian le gation in Washington. Three members of the gun crew, which stayed' aboard the vessel until the last minute to fire at the subma rine, were known to be dead. One survivor, said he thought the crew had hits Its mark with one of the shells. "There was a possibility that some of the missing may be aboard other rescue vessels that have not arrived in port yet. r The story of Mrs.. Mohorovicic's experience is certain to become an epic or the Battle of the Atlantic At-lantic a battle which already has resulted in almost unbelievable tales of human courage, fore-bearance fore-bearance and endurance. Here is the story of the birth in the lifeboat as pieced together from the survivors: ' The skipper of the vessel had prepared for -such an eventuality and arranged that the ship's doctor doc-tor would go in the same lifeboat life-boat with the pregnant woman in event the vessel was attacked. Thus, when two torpedoes struck the vessel. Sunday shortly after noon, Mrs. Mohorovicic, her two-year-old daughter, Dr. L. H. Con-ley Con-ley of Brooklyn, . and two other women climbed into No. 4 life-. life-. boat with ' 17 other passengers and seamen.

" s The- doctor took with him ; the simple instruments provided in an emergency lifeboat kit some disinfectant, gauze and bandages, but no forceps and no anesthesia. About three hours after the lifeboat left the sinking vessel, Mrs. Mohorovicic's labor pains started. Six hours later tthe child was born.' ; n It was not until 40 hours after their vessel had been torpedoed that 17- S. naval vessels picked them up. Some of the survivors in the-lifeboats were so weak by then that they had to be assisted assist-ed up the side of the rescue boat. But not Mrs. Mohorovicic. She climbed virtually unassisted up the cargo net which had been low ered over the side, and then walked walk-ed the full length of the naval vessel and took a shower .before going to bed. The first passenger to be handed hand-ed up the side of the rescue ves sel into the big hands of a husky seaman was the naked, new-born infant. The child as are all newborn new-born infants was a brilliant red. But survivors said the color was pale beside that of the seaman's face when he discovered what had been placed in his hands. No .clothing had been taken alqng in the lifeboat for the new baby and the mother had : kept him warm and as dry from the water as possible by holding him inside &er own clotnes. Republican River Dill Is Vetoed WASHINGTON, April 2 ttLR) President Roosevelt today vetoed legislation which gave congres sional consent to a compact among the states of- Colorado, Kansas and -.Nebraska, apportioning the waters of the Republican river basin for irrigation and related uses. Mr. Roosevelt said the bill in its present form does not reserve to the United States all rights and responsibilities "which it now has in the use and control of the waters of the basin." Mr. Roosevelt said provisions of the compact which would withdraw with-draw federal jurisdiction would "impede the full development of tne water resources . . . and would unduly limit the exercise of the established national interest in such development."

CLUBMEN HEAR EASTER TALK The hopeful message of immortality immor-tality was sounded by George J. Webber, reverend of the , First Congregational church " at Salt Lake City, in an Easter address before the . Provo Kiwanis club today. ; Sterling M. Ercanbrack, presl dent of the club, presided, and Henry D. Taylor was chairman. Guests included Rev. Edwin P. Irwin of the Community church, A. C. Hoffman, and Victor J.' Bird, all of Provo. Dr. , Blair Points was intro duced as a new member by Dr. Stanley M. Clark. President Ercanbrack outlined several Kiwanis projects in the offing, including sponsoring a drive for collection of usable scrap metal, paper and other material to aid the government in the war program. The members voted to proffer their services in con ducting the selective service reg istration for men 45 to 65 years of age April 27. A. Sherman Christenson asked support of all the members in the defense bond pledge drive April 6. Dr. M. W. Merrill reported his recent eight-keeks' study at the Kellog post graduate school in dentistry at Ann Arbor. Dr. Merrill Mer-rill studied under a Common wealth fund fellowship. ur. j. Russell Smith reported a recent trip to California. EIO NUTf (Cdhtinued from Page One) both Murray and Green are said, to have told the president that Hillman's selection for a job of sucn tremendous influence over all American labor might upset the present harmony balance among organized labor groups. Hillraan was former president of tne Amalgamated Clothing Work-era Work-era of America, which one was affiliated with the CIO. McNutt's name was then pro posed, and both Green and Mur ray were reported to have said his selection would be satisfac-; tory. The decision apparently now depends, on whether the rest of the top leaders of the major AFX. and CIO unions, including United Mine Workers president, John L. Lewis, approve. The mobilization will be carried out through the medium of the selective service system following Ihe registration of men between the ages, of 45 and 64, inclusive, on April 27. Congressional sources - have re ported that the president in the interim may call for the volun tary registration of American woman-power on the same dayA or at a later date. He is said to believe that mobilization of all men for he war effort requires no additional legislation.

Shipbuilding - "Although exact production figures cannot be published,, the rate at which ships are being built in huge yards which were mud flats only a year ago truly amazing, and provides an example of the best tradition in American industry. 4. Labor "In view of the present widespread demands for modification of the 4U-nour week, the sub-committee believes it worth while to report that only one of several score executives interviewed in-terviewed suggested that lengthening length-ening of the work week would increase production. It is perhaps significant that this suggestion came from an executive in the one plant visited where relations between be-tween employer ' and employes were not good or harmonious." The sub-committee noted that employes in most of the plants were working 48 hours a week, and executives believed that lengthening of the work week would probably bring about demands de-mands for an Increase in hourly pay rates. 5. Guayule Rubber "There appears to be no question but that rubber can be produced qn a commercially sound basis frpm guayule. However, experiments heretofore have been so restricted that there is not now sufficient seed to make possible any pro- duction in quantities sufficient to alleviate- markedly our rubber shortage within three or four years." 6. Defense installations o n West Coast The committee "found that although technically there is not unity of command, there is complete unity of information infor-mation and that, in case of an attack, at-tack, there would be as complete co-ordination of action as is possible possi-ble without unity of command. It appeared to the sub-committee that very effective measures have been taken to meet any possible attack." MARKETS a Glanco Stocks higher in moderate trad ing. Bonds irregularly higher.

Crippar insisted that he was still hopeful and that negotiations would continue next week, reportedly report-edly as result of . a British offer to give the Indians a greater immediate im-mediate voice in control of home defense. The congress party re jection of the Plan as it was of fered, however, was believed to be virtually unanimous, and Indian sources said that the prospects for an agreement were poor un less .other and important concessions conces-sions were made. Both sides were attempting to avoid responsibility for breakdown break-down of the negotiations, and it appeared that they would continue. con-tinue.
