Washington June 19 Two United States naval reservists are to be honored Monday for distinguished service in developing an escape device nearly identical to the one used by British seamen who exited the Poseidon submarine in Chinese waters yesterday. Chief Torpedo Man Raymond Wilson of Charleston West Virginia will receive a gold star in view of a third navy cross and Perry J Hoy of Washington DC will get a navy cross. Presentations will be made at the Washington navy yard by Rear Admiral Henry V Butler. The device Whison and Hoy helped develop includes a nose clamp mouthpiece and a bag with soda lime to purify air for re inhaling the wearer breathes. The men entered a flooded compartment which equalizes the pressure with the outside and a hatch is opened. A cork float with a rope is released and the men ascend in stages.
