This is the opinion of Frank Or- govan. of the Connecticut Company. who lives at 285 Flax Hill road. 0r- govan has served in the navy for 17 years and six months, and is now in the Naval Reserve. “There should be some of the men alive as I figure out the case." he said. “When I served on the D2 and the E2. both early types of sub- marines. we could submerge and last for 72 hours with the oxygen tanks opened. Since then there have been great improvements in submarine construction. and the men should be able to last for many more hours if it is a. consideration of air alone." Orgovan served from the Newport station. but has been on submarine cruises many times off Block Island where the subs went for torpedo practice. 153 NEW VOTERS I 111111: SATURDAY A total of 158 new voters were made at the final session of the Town Clerk and the Selectmen in the City Hall Saturday.
