The pilot, Lieutenant Claude M Schonberger, observed a third parachute but was unable to identify the person in it because it drifted quite a distance away.

Sadler, general auditor, spoke briefly, each paying a high tribute to Miss Hassell for her loyalty in the performance of a faithful service over a long period have been carefully reviewed and considered. In view of the fact that twelve months have now ex pired without the receipt of evi dence to support a continued pre sumption of survival, the War De partment must terminate such ab sence by a presumptive finding of death. Accordingly, an official finding of death has been record- 1 ed under the provisions of Pub lic Law 490, 77th Congress, ap pro\ ed March 7, 1942, as amend ed. “The finding does not establish an actual or probable date of death; however, as required by law, it includes a presumptive date of death for the termination of pay and allowances, settlement of accounts and payment of death gratuities. In the case of your son this date has been set as 1 March 1940, the day following the ex piration of twelve months' ab sence. “1 regret the necessity for this message but trust that the ending of a long period of uncertainty may give at least some small measure of consolation. I hope you may find sustaining comfort in the thought that the uncertain ty with which war has surround ed the absence of your son has enhanced the honor of his service to his country and of his sacri fice."
