Probe by Army Board

Newport News, Va, Feb. 22.-Re-
ports that the bag of the semi-rigid
drigible Roma, destroyed yesterday
at the Norfolk army base with a loss
of thirty-four lives, was rotton. will
will be probed by an army board of
inquiry. Both officers and men this
morning declined to comment upon
the report.
The board of inquiry will be named
today or tomorrow and there will be
a full and complete investigation of
the catastrophe of that, the station
declared. Belief was expressed this
morning by those who saw the Roma
on her flight that one of the after
compartments gave away, forcing the
rudder out of alignment.
Mechanics who worked on the Roma
when she was first brought to Langley
Field are indirectly quoted as saying
that the bag was rotten. This is dis
counted by officers and enlisted men,
who point out that the Roma was Civ
en- several thorough tests by experts
before she was ever sent up.
They further declare that had the
bag been rotten or construction faulty
trouble most certainly would have de-
veloped on the trial flight to Washing
ton some time ago at which time the
Roma raced through one Of the worst
storms of the year.
