Opinions Are Strong in Royal
 Oak Affair

London. April 6 HP1 - The court martials growing on. of the contro- versy over jazz music on the Brit ish warship Royal Oak have deeply stirred public opinion and it was evident today that the affair would not be allowed 10 end with the promulgation of tha sentences
 Two Of the officers involved, Con- mander H. M. Daniel and Captain Kenneth G. B. Dewar, were sen- tcnced to dismissal from their ship and a severe reprimand. Rear Ad- miral Bernard St. G. Collard, criti- cism Of whose actions brought the charges of conduct prejudiical to discipline, was not Courtmartialed but was ordered by commander of the Mediterranean fleet to strike his flag.
 Tho admiral then promised to is sue a statement on the case gen. erally and this was awaited with caserness but was not expected im- mediately as the findings of the court martial must be reviewed first. The matter will be raised in the house Of commons when it re- assemblies on April IT after the Easter vacation.
 . Favors Officers
 In the meantime public opinion Tn general seemed to be'on the side Of the condemned officers who Were popularly regarded as having suffered great provocation and made themselves champions of the op pr"ssed-the admiral having a repu- 'ation as a martinct-at the risk of their own careers.
 Assuming the court acted in ac cordance with naval regulations and the sentences were inevitah hle, tln man in the street thinks the sooner such regulations are revised the better.
 On the other hand tho cham pions of strict complianco with -h.. regulations as indispensable 10 the interests of discipline support the sentences. Apologists for Admiral Collard say that he suffered con siderahly by being ordered. to haul down his flag and put on half nav.
 Newspapers We're not puhlisI"d today because of tho Good Friday holiday. but two or three comments on Wednesday. after Commander Daniel was found guilty, showed strong dissatisfaction by the press with the sentence.
