The next of kin of Commander Jones is his wife, Mrs. Roy K. Jones, Hale Thorpe. Md.; of McGinley, his father, Joseph J. McGinley, Norristown, Pa., and of Hodges, his brother, John Hodges, Riverside, Calif.
The men were identified by a finger print expert from the navy's bureau of navigation. Official notifications of the identifications have been sent by the department to the next of kin of the three men.
PROVINCETOWN. Mass., Jan. 5. -
Weather conditions probably will make it impossible to remove bodies from the sunken submarine S-4 today, Captain Henry Hartley of the Falcon, said.
He said divers would go down as soon as the weather would permit but that a brisk northwest wind and choppy sea threatened to balk salvage workers.
Three bodies have been taken from the hull.
