Was There Delay?

As early as Saturday afternoon the
Weather Bureau knew of the storm in
the vicinity of the Bahamas and, while
not forecasting its exact course, pre-
dicted, in reports published in Sunday
morning newspapers, that 1t might take
a west by northwest course, which
would bring it across the Florida Keys.
According to reports from the vet
erans' camps located on Matecumbe and
Islamorada keys, the men, engaged in re-
lief tasks, became alarmed on Sunday at
the increasing evidences Of storm and
were assured by officials in charge that
there was no danger. On Monday
morning they were waiting to be evac-
uated, but the rescue train did not
arrive until late Monday afternoon. The
train was blown off the rails and the
tracks destroyed.
Was there inexcusable delay on the
part of officials in making preparations
for evacuating these men? Was there
official incompetence? These matters
must be investigated. The Government.
in this case. occupies q position OF
unique responsibility. II there was fall
ure by the responsible Government to
take adequate precautions, in the face
of warnings of impending disaster, that
fact should be clearly established.
