SALVAGE WORK IS
 ID BE CONTINUED
Washington Still Faintly Hopes
 for Life in Sub

Washington, Dec. i2 F-Whlle the navy department has not re- ceived official word from Rear Ad- miral Brumby that no life exists on the S-4 and although he has not ask ed for instructions. high officials said today that salvage operations would go ahead without let up until the submersible IS brought to the surface
 There Is an extremely faint hope that one or two of the six men im- prisoned in the torpedo room may have remained alive until fresh air reached them and were too weak to answer signals. Admiral Hughes of operations, said. Until 1t is absolutely proved that no one is alive aboard the vessel operations will go forward with all speed pos sible, he declared.
 If destroyers had been patrolling the Massachusetts waters in which the S-4 was maneuvering they could have warned the coast guard de- stroyer Paulding of the position of the submarine and a collision would have been avoided. it Is held.
 Under the circumstances Secretary Wilbur, believes from available in- formation. that the accident was un- avoidable, but that naval experts, in giving close studies in an effort to prevent another such disaster. should take into consideration the opportunities which probably lie in surface patrol for guarding sub- marines.
 Naval officials are making few statements concerning the attacks being made on them as a result of the S-4 disaster. They expressed in terest today in the statement made by Representative Clifford and his Massachusetts constituents, but other than to say that they hardly consid- cred Mir. Clifford. or the Cape Cod fishermen whom he quoted. as being sufficiently expert on deep sea diving to judge conditions under which 1t could be carried on with safety. they refused to comment.
 The statement made Sunday by naval officials that the Wandank was a tender ship and was not supposed to be over the submersible for pro- lection purposes was reiterated in answer to MT. Gifford's charge that the ship was miles away when 1t should have been over the subma- rine,

Debnam of West Somer- vile, the former torpedo man, ex- plained his idea today. which is. in brief, to build steel tunnels. about two feet In diameter. in sections, to be fastened together and lowered to one of the torpedo tubes of a sunken craft. The plan would in- volve altering the tubes of the navy's submersibles so that the tunnels could be attached. Such rescue ap- paratus should be kept on hand at all naval stations, he believed.
