The kind of news that has
been published in the news-
papers and broadcast over the
radio for the last seven months
was brought close to Shreve-
port Thursday by Lieutenant
(J. G.) E. A. Conway, Jr., for-
mer secretary of state of Louis-
iana, when he related his ex-
periences of being on a ship
that was torpedoed and sunk in
the Atlantic ocean and of spend,
ing five days in an open life-
boat.
Lieutenant Conway, who is
on sick leave after suffering a
bad burn on his right leg dur-
ing the abandoning of the ship,
spent Thursday with his grand-
mother, Mrs. W. E. Glassell, Sr.
1229 Fairfield avenue.
He is a former Shreveporter,
having graduated from Byrd
high school in 1929, attended
Centenary college and Louisiana
State university, receiving his
law degree from the latter
school in 1935. He practiced
law in Baton Rouge and served
the unexpired term of his fath-
er as secretary of state, after
his death.
“We were sailing several hun
dred miles off the coast of the
United States one night,” Lieu-
tenant Conway stated to a
Journal reporter, “when a tor-
pedo struck our ship. There was
a tremendous noise and the ship
a merchantman began to settle
almost immediately.
“I was the only naval officer
on board and, I believe I burned
my leg when I slid down a rope
into the lifeboat.
There were 14 of us crowded
into the 20 foot boat, and
although we didn’t suffer much
from hunger, I never berore re^
alized the value ofa drink of
water. Our diet consisted of con
centrated food and a small al-
lotment of water for the five
days.”
Upon being asked what it
felt like to be adrift in a boat,
he said that the uncertainty of
it all was what bothers one
most as one never knows when
or if he is going to be rescued.
Lieutenant Conway said that
the men who took turns sleep-
ing on oars. “They weren’t the
most comfortable beds,” he
said.
Nights Worse Than Days
“The days were hot, but the
nights were what was. so terri-
ble about the whole ordeal for
they seemed interminably long”
he continued. “We had a small
compass that aided in naviga-
tion, but we relied mostly on
the sun during the day and the
southern cross at night until we
finally sighted land.”
Conway seemed to be touched
by the remembrance of his ship
sinking below the waters,
j “The saddest thing in the
world is to see your ship sink-
ling,” he said. “After a few
j days on board a boat, she feels
! just like home and when one
minute you see her there on the
surface and hte next just water
and sky, you fetl as if you had
lost a dear friend.”
He lost all of his personal ef-
fects and the only thing he had
left was a key to his stateroom.
“It sure feels odd not to have
anything that you once had,
' such as a fingernail file or comb
I particularly little things,” he
! said.
! Lieutenant Conway has been
on active duty three months.
| “I didn’t mind the torpedo-
ing so much,” he concluded,
jbut those five days in that life-
boat were rough. I can’t wait tq
get back aboard ship and get
another crack at the Axis.” —
Shreveport Journal.
Lieutenant Conway has many
friends in Boerne who will be
glad to hear of his adventure
and escape. He has visited his
grandmother Mrs. W. E. Glas-
sell here in Boerne during the
summer months. We hope tq
see her in Boerne real soon.

Judge Harry N. Graves was
elected four years ago to fill
the unexpired term of the late
Judge 0. S. Lattimore as a mem
ber of the Court of Criminal
Appeals of Texas. He has active
ly participated in the work of
the Court since that time, and
has written his share of their
opinions!
This Court has disposed of
the cases submitted to it, and
is up with its docket, and he
requests a second term at the
hands of the voters.
Would it be wise to change
the personnel of this Court at
the present time?

FREDERICKSBURG
RAIL ROAD jSOLD
The Fredericksburga and,
Northern Railroad Co. has been
reported sold to the Hymen-
Michaels Co. of Chicago. This
sale has been protested on the
grounsd that the properties are
to be scrapped.
An effort is being made by
the citizens of Fredericksburg
to purchase the line and keep it
operating.
If this line is scrapped it will
mean a large loss of taxes to
Kendall county as a good per-
centage of its 23 mile roadbed
is in Kendall county, and Texas
will lose its only railroad tunnel.
_ This road has been in opera-
tion over thirty years.
