whether the accident could have
been avoided if there had been
device to prevent filling of ballast
tanks with water. necessary before
a dive, until opened air induction
valves were closed, 1t. Naquin re-
piled:
Il believe such device could
have prevented this tragedy"
Capt. Munroe explained that his
question was based on the sugges-
ton of a board of inquiry which
probed the sinking of the SIS off the
Delaware Capes in 1920.
At another point in his testimony,
the Squalus commander, who is
technically the defendant in the
hearing, asserted, in a startling
statement, that if any of the four
pipes which feed air to undersea
craft during surface maneuvers was
ruptured by bomb or mine, the
entire ventilating system of the
vessel would be flooded. He recon-
mended installation of automatic,
instantaneous, snap action" equip
ment for closing those pipes.
The fact that questions based on
the air induction valve were re-
phrased at the direction of the court
to avoid any indication that the
valve was the specific cause for the
accident led observers to believe the
court intended to reach no final
conclusion until the Squalus was
raised and dry-docked.
Salvage Work Progresses.
The salvage work, meanwhile,
moved ahead smoothly. A tunnel
beneath the sunken hull was
punched through yesterday but
there was no official indication
when chains would be passed

tunnel first must be widened, SAL

made three other suggestions for
safety improvements. One was for
several air hose connections for

central location; another was for
some type of signaling equipment

cable-cutting device under the res
cue chamber to sever the down haul
