SUBMARINE MUST FIND SAFETY
WITHIN CRAFT, SAY DESIGNERS
Only Narrow Margin for Gain Can Be

By the Associated Press.
Greater safety for submarine crews
must be found inside not outside. the

mcnt of the Governments most expert
enced submarine designers.
Already. they declare. American
undersea boats have inherent factors
of safety little realized by the public,
which have only narrow margin FOR
improvement on the basis Of any scien-

Fully 90 per cent of the 2.500 sugges-
ticns for safety devices received since
the S-4 went down off Provincetown,
Mass last month. with 40 men, have to
do with outside assistance and give little
or no consideration TO the extremely
complex calculations which enter into
the construction and operation of sub
marines. Many would add weight TO
the top Of the ship. increasing the dam
ger of capslzing. which. although an
evcr-present likelihood with this type
Of vessel. has never materialized
Officers familiar with the construc-
ton and operation difficulties are con-
cerned primarily with the development
OF means for the men in a sunkcn
submarine to save themselves and, If
possible, their ship. Experience has
taught them that this is about the only
hope after a diving boat goes down dis
abled. They are convinced that with
the possible exception Of the S4. in
which case the question is still in douhi
no safety devices not already incorpor-
ated in the submarines could have re-
duced the loss of life in the three MAJ ioi

only at the expense of another"
Nevertheless, the construction ex-
perts are not willing to say that II Is
impracticable to make submarines
safer. On the contrary they strive to
make each new ship safer than its
predecessor.
The submarine, they point out, is
the most congested ship made. Its
margin of buoyancy is practically
limited to the capacity of its ballast
tanks. which are filled to submerge
and emptied to rise TO the surface.
while its margin of stability-the cx-
tent 10 which its own center of gravity
is below that of the water displaced by
its hull--iS only about third as great
as can be provided for surface ships Of
the same weight. Therefore, each
pound added to its weight for any pur-
pose must nc compensated for. either
by subtraction of pound somewhere
else or by increasing the size of the
ship to provide the necessary additional
buoyancy. Every increase in size. OF
course. involves the addition Of further
weight which itself has to be COM
penSated for.
Solely for Protection.
Despite these and other highly tech
nical considerations. the modern sub
marine contains many parts which
were put there for no other purpose
