|S-4 SALVAGE WORK | WILL BE PR0bED
Naval Courts Inquiry Rapidly
 Coming to q Close

Boston. Jan. 14 R1Rear Admiral Frank H. Rrumby, who has directed | rescue and salvage operations on the submarine S-4 since that vessel was sunk off Provincetown on De- cember IT in collision with the coast guard destroyer Paulding, testified today before the naval court of inquiry investigating the S-4 disaster.
 Admiral Brumby, who is in com- mand of the cntrol force, said he had been in the navy for 32 1-2 years. The witness read a statement | describing the rescue attempts on the sunken submarine.
 Il assume full responsibility for what took place in the attempts to rescue men from the S-14 and for subsequent operations" he said at the outset.
 After listing the qualified sdbma- rinex and salvage experts assembled at Provincetown, including Captain Ernest J. King and Lieut.. Con- mander Edward Ellsbeyg, who had charge of S-51 salvage operations, l Admiral Brumby added:
 Everything that was done in con- nection with the work was fully dis 1 cussed and decisions then made. In every case there was complete unanimity, but the final decision was mine and the responsibility was mine.
 The witness said that every effort had heen made to mobilize rescue vessels at Provincetown promptly Less than two hours after news of the disaster reached New London, Conn.,, the rescue ship Falcon left that base, arriving at Provincetown at ' a. III. on December IS. The wreck was then located by dragging and a diver sent down.
 The story followed closely that told by Lieut.. Commander Elsberg earlier in the inquiry. Admiral Brumby told of Diver Tom Eadie, the first to descend, finding life in the torpedo room of the S-4, of a ! system of tap signals being arrang- ed with the imprisoned men. Then Carr, the second diver, attached an air line to the ballast tank salvage system Of the submarine in the vain hope that the water could be blown out and the vessel raised The heroic rescue of Diver Mi- chaels, the third to descend, by Eadie was described next. This diver hoI grown rough, to attach an air hose to the compartment salvage system so that air could be sent to the im- prisoned men, but his lines became fouled and he almost lost his life. After Eadie came up no mora diving could be attempted because of the weather conditions without grave risk to the divers and 1t was suspended about 12:30 Monday morning." the witness said. "The i line from the Falcon to one Of the mooring vessels slacked up, showing | that the other vessel was dragging and attempts at diving were then definitely given up and the Falcon cast off from the other ships. The condition of the sea was such from the first that diving would not have been undertaken except to try to save life.
 During the night wind and sea continued to increase and on Mon- day, December 1o. diving was not possible.
 It was then decided that tempera- ture and sea conditions were such that Michaels could not bs transfer red to another ship without risking pneumonia. The Falcon left for Boston with the injured diver.

 Would Revise School Calendar
 Some question was raised about the calendar of events which marked the school days. holidays, and vaca- tion period.

This would cut down on the hot summer days when the children could be out of school. It was de- cided to lay the matter over for a month.
 The recommended calendar was as follows: school opens. Monday. September 10: closes Friday, June q. Thanksgiving recess, November 2S to December 3; Christmas recess. December Fl to January z; Easter recess, Thursday night, March 29, to Monday morning. April 8: holidays in Washington's birthday, and Mem orial Day.
