Japan, that we will be at war
with Japan some day.
"There is a lot of talk to that
end, and there are preparations
against that possibility"
Sees No Danger
Mr.. Young asserted:
"Sales to Japan would not
jeOpardize our national de-
fenSe."
Senator Nye added:
mo one views either Eng
land or France as o possible
enemy Of this country"
Mr.. Young, in 1882 offered TO
sell the Japanese nary the com
pany's secret patents and manu-
featuring specifications for tear
gas, he admitted under ques-
tioning.
He wrote to Okura and Com
pany, Japanese firm, discussing
the matter, and adding:
due to the impending pos
sibiIfty of Federal embargo on
such materials 1 trust you will
be able to secure authority
from Tokyo to proceed with
the transaction at an early
date; otherwise, this authority
might be received too late and
/ would be requested by the
State Department to hold up
the transaction"
FRISCO is PURCHASER

WARNS
Radio Man Tells of Five Trips
To Bridge Before Distress
Call Was Permitted
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 0.N.S).
Five times Acting Capt. william
F. Warns was begged for in
structions before he sent out the
SOS from the flaming MORO
Castle September 8.
This was the testimony today
of George I. Alagna, second as
sistant radio officer star wit
ness" before the Federal board
investigating the disaster.
Alagna. who acted as mes
senger between the radio shack
and bridge where Acting Captain
Warns stood, said he fought his
way through the smoke and
flames seven different times that
morning and it was on the fifth
trip, which he was barely able
to finish and when flames were
roaring high into the heavens
that Captain Warns ordered the
S o S.
Explains Delay
This was the testimony the
damned hearing room has been
awaiting since the opening of the
inquiry, the testimony whic h
would explain the waste of more
than 80 minutes in calling for
aid after the ship was found to
be raging inferno.
Alagna told, too, how he had
pleaded with Acting Captain
Warns to send strong members
of the crew out into the water
to save passengers who had
jumped overheard and how the
captain had refused. He said
Captain Warns replied:
"NO, we can't do anything for
'em. The boats will pick 'em
up"
Alagna. accused of being
radical" and trouble maker" in
earlier testimony. frankly ad.
mitted he had difficulties on the
MORO Castle, that he had led the
protest against poor food and
dirty Dishes" had participated in
a short-lived strike, and was fully
aware he was to be fired when he
got back to New York.
Earlier Alagna electrified the
inquiry with the calm admission
that highly inflammable metal
polish had been used on the liner
in direct contravention of law.
He was the first of the ship en-
ployes to testify he had known
definitely of the presence of COM
bustible polish aboard the Moro
Castle.
Told to Use Polish
He first became acquainted with
the polish, he said, Immediately
after his employment on the liner.
He asserted:
II was Informed by Person
CfOrmer chief OperatOr) when
first came on board that one of
my duties would be to polish
brass around the radio shack"
He said the ship provided q
paste polish but that it was no
good. He said to get kerosene
out of the wooden locker be-
hind the radio shack and mix
it with the paste and it would
work very well.
"All the sailors and the deck
department knew about it.
Everybody used it,"
He continued:
II was awakened the morning
of the fire by the tramp of feet
and the sound of curSing voices
