Newport, R.I., Oct. 24 (AP)—One of the two bodies taken from the engine room of the sunken Navy submarine S-51 yesterday was identified today as that of James Dudley Hasleden Jr., lieutenant junior grade, of Dillon, S.C.

Identification was made at the Newport naval hospital by J.H. Taylor, finger print expert, who came here this morning from the Bureau of Identification in Washington. Determination of the identity of the two other bodies here, one of which was found yesterday, and one the day before, may be delayed, it was said, owing to the condition of the bodies. Taylor has wired to Washington for additional identification records.

Lieut. Hasleden was 28 years old and single. His next of kin is a sister, Miss Mary Lucia Hasleden, also of Dillon, S.C. The body was found clad in pajamas. Identification was made by means of finger prints and a wallet was found in the pajamas.

The second body found yesterday later was identified as that of Robert S. Noble, motor mechanist first class, of Merrimack, Mass. He was 27 years old.
