ger of the wrecked Shenandoah, told
the Shenandoah naval court today
that one of the surviving officers Of
the airship, Lieutenant c. Bauch, had
told him not to give certain informa.

This information which Carlson
withheld when he first testified at

the Is helium gas cells and designed
to permit equalization of the gas in
