Norfolk army base with loss Of 3
lives was rotten Will be probed by an
army board of inquiry. Both officers

der out of alignment.

Roma when she was first brought to

saying the bag was rotten. This is
discounted by the officers and enlist
ed men who point out the Roma was
given several real tests by experts
before she was ever sent up.

been rotten it would have developed
on the trial trip TO Washington in
