My dear Senator George:
I desire to acknowledge receipt of your communication
dated June 10, 1942, enclosing letter from ijs. Sd.vard Preetorius,
of Box #1, Hunters, Georgia, written in the interest of her mother,
who is anxious to obtain definite information as to the fate of
Samuel Robert Owens, Torpedoman second class, U. S. Navy.
Upon a review of the record of OVENS, it is noted that he
was a member of the crew of the U.S.S. CANOPUS, which vessel was
destroyed by the U.S. Forces to prevent its being of use to the
enemy in event of capture of Bataan. However, he was undoubtedly
transferred from that ship prior to its destruction, as he "was
attached to the Submarine Base, Fort kills, Philippine Islands on
February 17, 1942. A report from the Commandant Sixteenth Naval
District, showed OVENS to be serving in the Manila Bay Area on
March 20, 1942. This was the last report from that area and since
the fall of Corregidor his fate is not known.
On iaay 11, 1942, the Navy Department sent a despatch to
07i:.iiS father, Mr. Stephen J. Owens, of Webster North Carolina,
which stated that O.EMS will be carried on the records of the
Department as "missing", pending further information. No report
of his death or injury has been received, and it may be that he
is now a prisoner of war.
Mrs. Ovjens great anxiety is appreciated and please be
assured that any further report will be communicated directly
to her.
Sincerely yours,
RANDALL JACOBS

My dear Senator George:
I desire to acknowledge further your letter of June 23,
1942, in behalf of Mrs. Edward Preetorius, in reference to an
allotment from her brother, Samuel Robert Owens, Torpedoman
Second Class, U. S. Navy, who is now among the enlisted personnel
carried by this Bureau in the status of "Missing".
In accordance with Public Lav/ 490, approved March 7, 1942,
the allotment registered by Owens in favor of his mother in the
amount of $20.00 per month, was placed in suspension following
the report that the grantor was missing in action, since the
purpose of this allotment was not designated. Before definite
action can be taken to have the allotment in favor of Mrs. Owens
continued, it is requested that she have the enclosed affidavit
properly executed and return same to this Bureau.
The Navy Department is making concerted effort to locate
its missing personnel, however, several months may elapse before
the fate of Owens can be determined. If, after reasonable time,
the circumstances warrant an official declaration of death by the
Secretary of the Navy, action will then be taken toward settlement
of Owens' affairs, and the payment of his insurance and other
benefits will be made to his dependents.
Sincerely yours

Walter Abraham Jacobs (1883–1967) was born in New York City and after public school education, attended Columbia University from which he received both A. B. (1904) and A. M. (1905) degrees in chemistry. He enrolled in the University of Berlin and received a Ph.D. degree in 1907 for work done with Emil Fischer. He returned to New York and a position as a fellow in chemistry with Phoebus A. Levene at the newly-founded Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, later Rockefeller University. Levene was a preeminent natural product chemist, and Jacobs worked with him for several years particularly on the chemistry of nucleic acids. In 1912, Jacobs was promoted to Associate Member of the Institute and given independent status. The Institute Director, Simon B. Flexner, felt that chemotherapy deserved a division of its own, and Jacobs was made the head.
