SEEKING CAUSE OF
 FATAL EXPLOSION
Naval Inquiry Board Has Three
 Possible Reasons
By the Associated PreA.

By the Associated Pres.
 San Pedro, Cal, June 16.-ThreC possible causes of the premature eX- plosion which killed As men in a tur- ret aboard the L, s. $. Mississippi last Thursday were slated for closer scru- tiny al today's session of the naval court of inquiry Investigating the dis aster
 One possible explanation Of the deadly blast was that the air pressure operating the breech mechanism of the fourt een-inch rife was to slow to eject from the barrel every glowing particle Of powder left there by the last charge fired.
 Another theory supported by tcs- timony was that one Of the linen in- dex tags attached to powder bags was left on a bag of explosive when 1t was rammed into the breech and that d smouldering portion Of this tag clung to the gun bore and ignued the new charge before the bfeech could be closed.
 The third suggestion is that in ihe evidence so far presented was that there was something radically wrong with the gun that turned on its crew. Observers testified that the big rifle in previous firing Thursday had been from five to ten seconds late--a de- lay deemed significant in view of the fact that the crew of No. turret was the fastest crew in the fleet.
 Eighteen witnesses are to be called today--eight from the Mississippi and ten from the New Mexico.
 As the naval court prepared to Con- vene aboard the Mississippi, sailors and police stood guard around the morgue housing the bodies Of tho 4S disaster victims. The guard was placed early yesterday after a raid by sailors on a radical meeting Saturday had resulted in alleged threats of vio- lence. The sailors and police, armed with police rifles, were called off for a few hours yesterday but al dusk 12 blue jackets and four civilians were back at their post and at night were relieved by another armed detail
 The court of inquiry will not meet tomorrow, when civilians and fleet personnel will join in paying tribute 10 the dead at open air memorial services on Trona Field. scene of many a navy athletic contest in hich the Mississippi's mcn-including Ecv- eraI who perished in the death turret participated in days past.

Secretary Hoover believes 1T is i'm
portant, so that all may keep posted
on National affairs, that the whole
country be connected by radio and
wires. The connecting of broadcast
ers into chains is apt to be the most
important question raised at the con-
ference on September 80.
Discussing the radio sessions over
which he will preside, Secretary
Hoover said that the big question
was the interconnection of broadcast
organization. Through the co-opera-
tion Of the broadcasters with the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, he said, the eastern half
of the Nation was well served when
events of Importance were broadcast,
but added that some parts of the
country were not yet reached and
that therefore the citizens might be
said not to participate in National
affairs. 1T is important to have the
whole country connected for events
of general import" he declared. Real
public service" he explained, Lies
within the power of local broadcast
ers in all States"
At present the situation falls con-
siderably short Of Secretary Hoover's s
ideal, due, as he pointed out, to lack of
complete cooperation between the
transmitting stations and the COM
panies controlling the telephone and
telegraph wires, and the necessary
expense involved. Today several high
powered broadcasting stations are
spanning the country, with listeners in
many cities, but this does not meet
the rigid requirements set up by Mr..
Hoover, who has long been held the
friend Of the radio public. He wants
an efficient station in every town, so
as to insure the owners of crystal sets
at least a "silent part in country
wide activities. Every local station
must be efficient and capable of being
linked into a national net for the
dissemination Of important communica-
tons and the diffusion of official pro-
nouncements, before this exponent of
the radio communication is satisfied.

Prefer British Broa dcasts.

Although the Dali radio broadcast
ing committee recommended that a
government broadca sting station be
established in the Irish Free State,
no definite action has been taken, due
principally to the fact that the oper-
alton of a broadca Ster in the Free
State indicates a deficit of $4,000 a
year. Vice Consul Collins reports
from Dublin. After the Dali rejected
the proposal Of the Postmaster Cen
eral for the esta blishment of a pri-
vate broadcasting company, IL ap-
pointed a broadcasting committee to
Investigate wireless development in
Ireland. Results caused the commit
tee to recommend Government oper-
alton, but that is as far as develop
ments have progressed.
The Post Office Department has
issued only 1850 receiving set Ii
censes, as there does not seem to be d
strong popular demand for the erec-
ton of a home station. The listen
erS of the Free State are apparently
pleased with the programs of the
