S-4 DISASTER PROBE
IS STARTED BY NAVY
Admiral Jackson Named President
of Board of In
quiry.

With efforts being made again to de-
termine whether there is still life
aboard the submarine Sd, and with
the salvaging feet doing everything
possible, the Navy today turned to
another angle in the case, and that is
the investigation to determine the
blame, if any, for the disaster and at
the same time to gather as much in
formation as possible which might be
used by the experts in planning against
accidents in future.
Rear Admiral Richard H. Jackson,
member of the Navy's General
Board, and who but recently assumed
that duty after having relinquished
command of the battle fleet, was
named president of the board of in.
quiry by Secretary Wilbur. The other
members of the board will be Rear
Admiral Julian L. Latimer, COM
mandant Of the fourth naval district
and the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and
Capt. Joseph V. Ogan, submarine ex-
pert, who commanded the division of
V-type submarines. Comdr. Leslie e
Bratton will be judge advocate.
The investigation is to be started at
the Boston Navy Yard, the precept
directing that it convene there at 1C
o'clock am. Wednesday, January 4
or as soon thereafter as practicable
1t was ordered to make "a thorough
investigation into all the circum
stances connected with the loss of the

property resulting therefrom, injuries
to personnel incidental thereto and the
responsibility therefor"
Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, com
mandant Of the Boston Navy Yard
was directed to furnish all necessary
clerical assistance and to aid the
judge advocate in recording proceed
ings of the court.

COTUIT, Mass, December 22.-Open

and refusal of officials in charge of
rescue and salvage attempts to give
''the truth to the newspaper men was

hand" by Congressman Charles L. Gift
ford of Cotuit, Mr.. Clifford said today.
why don't they do something"
is the cry heard everywhere in Prov
incetown," Mr.. Clifford said. II went
to Provincetown because of the ter
rife criticism that came to me. I
knew the people there would tell me
just how they felt While / dislike to
say too much, I found their criticism
obviously justified.
when the S4 was lost all day yes

wouldn't they give those newspaper
boys the truth?
"They wouldn't tell the newspaper
men that the submarine was lost. They
gave out wrong stories, and the boys
had to resort to specializing in many
cases. The rope attached to the
submarine never should have become
detached or broken, causing yester-
days delay. They could have worked
all day yesterday. They could have
worked the day before.

there wasn't buoyancy enough to raise

MAY CHANGE NAVY POLICY.
81 Disaster Emphasizes Need for
Submarine LoOk-Outs.

The disaster that befell the subma-
rine S-4 may result in a change in
naval policy that will provide for a
lookout of surface vessels while a
submarine is submerged in practice
maneuverS.
In the opinion of Secretary Wilbur,
all other devices, such as buoys and
saunders, have been found impractic-
able by naval experts. He believes
that Of these contrivances none could
be used in time of war and that prac-
tice maneuvers are designed to get
performance as near to wartime tao
tics as possible.
If destroyers had been patrolling the
Massa chusetts waters in which the
S-4 was maneuvering they could have
warned the Coast Guard destroyer
Paulding of the position of the sub.
marine and a collision would have
been avoided, it was held.
Under the circumstances Secretary
Wilbur believes, from available infor
nation, that the accident was unavoid-
able. But that naval experts, in
giving close studies in an effort to
prevent another such catastrophe,
should take into consideration the
opportunities which probably lie in a
surface patrol for guarding sub.
IIldTlueS.
Scant Reply to Attacks.
Naval officials are making few state
ments concerning the attacks being
made on them as a result of the S-4
disaster. They expressed interest to-
day in the statements made by Rep
resentative Clifford and his Massachu-
sets constituents, but other than to
say that thew hardly considered Mr.
Clifford or the Cape Cod fisherman
whom he quoted as being sufficiently
expert on deep sea diving to judge
conditions under which it could be car
ried on with safety. They refused to
comment.
The statement made Sunday by
naval officials that the Wandank was
tender ship and was not supposed to
be over the submersible for protection
purposes was reiterated in answer to
Mr.. Gifford's charge that the ship was
miles away when it should have been
over the submarine.

room and the long process Of expel-
ling the foul air was started.
There was no sound from the steel
shell and had not been for more than
36 hours. but Navy officers hoped al
most against hope that, though uncon-
scious, the men still breathed.
The air line connection was made
after a day of heartbreaking delay
occasioned by the ''loss" of the subma-
rine by the fleet.
1t was the best day for work since
the S-4 was sent HURTING down
through 105 feet of water by the de-
stroyer Paulding last Saturday. The
sea was smooth, the wind, which for
two days had blown at gale force, had
died away and the temperature at the
bottom had risen almost II degrees to
81, permitting divers to work in COM
parative comfort.
But when the fleet prepared to take
advantage of the favorable weather
CONSERVATION arose when it was dis
covered that a line leading from the
S-4 to a marking buoy had become
detached and the vessel was lost.
Submarine Found Again.
Divers were rushed below the sur
face from the mine sweeper Falcon,
flagship of Rear Admiral Frank H.
Brumby, commanding the rescue
forces, and for hours they patrolled
the bottom of the ocean.
1t was not until after dark that the
shattered hulk was located by grap-
ping and Diver D. M. Bird shouted
through the telephone, I'm on the
submarine"
At once work was redoubled and by
$50, half an hour before the air line
was connected, seven men had taken
turns below the water.
officers estimated that should life
still exist in the torpedo room it would
take at least four hours to revive the
men sufficiently to allow them to re-
spond to signals.
Immediately upon receipt of a sig
nal from inside the compartment, air
would be cut off temporarily, it was
planned, and hot soup sent through
the hose.
The first air which escaped from the
torpedo room through the life" line
bore an odor of rancid oil for which
officers aboard the Falcon were unable
to account.
Samples of the air were taken for
analysis.
An actual start of the work of bring
ing air to the suffocating men was
made at 8 o'clock when Divers 'Tug"
Wilson and Joseph Eiben were low
cred together. An hour later they had
attached hose to the sc tube or
listening device after taking off the
cap.
