 WASHINGTON, May 3.--That no further proceedings be taken is the recommendation of the court of in quiry appointed to investigate the ex- plosion in the after turrst of the Mis- souri on April 13. The court finds the explosion was due to "fareback" caused by an inexplicable combination of oxygen with certain usually latent gases in smokeless powder The Ofn- cers and crew of the Missouri not on ly are relieved from all responsibility for the accident, but are warmly com mended for the bravery they showed after it's occurrence in rescuing tue victims
 These facts about the findings were obtained from Mir. Darling, the acting secretary of the navy, when he return ed from visit to the White House, receipt of the findings and their na- ture.
 It was brought out in the evidence submitted to the court that there was not an extraordinary amount of pow der in the handling room, nor were there more officers and men In the turret or handling room than were nec- essary for record target practice. Among the witnesses who testified be- fore the court were the two men who jumped into the magazine room and closed the door after them as soon as they saw the flame and one of the two survivors in the handling room. The other survivor was unable to leave the hospital, so the court took his tssti- mony at his bedside
