to Seek Advice on Sub
marines.
By the Associated Press.


The Navy Department was asSailed
for not seeking outside advice to fur
ther the safety of submarines today
by Senator Gerry, Democrat, Rhode
Island, at the investigation by naval
affairs subcommittee into the S-4 dis
aster last December.

Perry, New York member of the
Naval Consulting Board, had said that,
so far as he could remember, the board
had not been consulted by the Navy
Department since the World War relat-
ing to submarine safety devices.
"It is unfortunate that the depart
ment has not sought outside advice and
made an effort to utilize the brains of
the country" Gerry said. "The de-
partment should use the scientists as
much as possible in an effort to ad-
vance the Navy"
Sperry Is one of the original mem
berS of the Naval Consulting Board,
which was organized In 1915. At all
times, he said, members of the board
were willing to give their services to
the Government but preferred to be
in a position of waiting to be called
on rather than to volunteer.
Sperry is inventor of the Sperry
gyroscope and the Sperry gyroscope
stabilizer, used on many vessels.
