of all 10 men aboard a PBM two-
motored patrol bomber which
went down In the Atlantic.
The Destroyer Palou picked up j
the crew of the Navy patrol craft 1
some 500-miles north of the east-
ern tip of the Dominican Repub-
lic.
The plane was engaged in war
games called operation Portrex.
It was searching for a mythical
"enemy" force, when its two mo-
tors. failed, one after the other,
forcing it down.
It was piloted by Li. W H.

Steers of Amityville, N. Y . at
about 3 a m .Steers said he cir-
cled the disabled craft for an
hour and 20 minutes.
The crewmen apparently were
on two life rafts, he said. Thev
were sending SOS signals on their
