 Portsmouth, N. H., May 20 |- UP) = The Navy today began the task of bringing up the super-submarine Squalus and her 26 dead from the bottom of the Atlantic. Salvage operations on the newest of the fleets under seas craft began after an all- night suspension called only when 8 diver confirmed that all 26 men in the flooded after com partments of the submarine had died.
 Navy divers planned to brave death and numbing cold again by descending the 40 fathoms to the spot where the Squalus sank in the mud last Tuesday and lay :he groundwork for raising the sub- marine and her cargo of bodies.
 The salvage job may take days. perhaps weeks, but the submarine must be raised before there can be any explanation why she sank to the bottom during routine test submersion.
 Meanwhile, at the Navy Yard Hospital all except three of the Squalus' B survivors were released. Those still held were Lieutenant J. o. Nichols, Radio Operator Charles A. Powell and Yoefiian Charles s. Kuney.
 sThey were suffering from slight bronchial infections.
 Admiral Cole Directs
 Rear Admiral Cyrus W. Cole, com- mandant of the Navy Yard, and his staff of technicians returned to the salvage tug Falcon and directed pre- liminary salvage operations. Com- mander A. I. Mckee, submarine expert attached to the Navy Yard, and Commander A. R. McCann, submarine expert of the Navy De- partment, left by plane for Wash ington to present their plans for raising the Squalus to high officials. They were expected to return before dusk and by then, it was hoped the actual work would be started.
 AS the 30 survivors left the hos- pital Captain William Amsden. acting commandant of the yard. revealed that all had been given strict orders not to discuss the dis aster with anyone not even among themselves.
 IS Successful Divers
 Captain H. R. Greenlee, manager of the yard. said the Squalus had completed l8 successful test dives before her last, fatal one. The main engine air induction valve which Lieutenant Oliver F. Naquin. com- mander of the Squalus, blamed for the disaster in his first report, is used to draw air into the two after engine rooms, he said.
 Greenlee described the opening as 3l inches in diameter with a muSh- room closing valve which is closed hydraulically by crew member when the submarine dives. The air Is taken into the engine rooms by two pipes.
 Unless some electrical trouble had developed, he said, it would have been impossible for the valve to have remained open when the signal on the control board had showed it closed.
 Greenlee's son-in-law, Ensign Joseph Patterson, was among those trapped and drowned in the flooded Continued on Page 8

President Gets Plain Mad
The Woy Things Are Going

1t might be proper at this time to
call attention to another phase of
the situation here, although it can
hardly be said to be a part of the
circumstance that I have been dis
cussing. Lately, Mr.. Roosevelt has
had his Dutch up" so to speak,
and has not minced words. For ex-
ample, he called IN Lyle Wilson,
head of the United Press bureau
here, and denounced Mr.. Wilson and
his organization for sending out dis
patches which the President said
were untrue. These dispatches, or
one, particularly, told of a purport-
ed split between Mr. Roosevelt and
the able and patient Secretary Hull
of the Department of State Their
differences were reported to be over
the Presidents policy on neutrality.
Anyway, the incident wound up with
the President taking the almost IN
precedented action of issuing a pub
lie statement accusing the United
Press of Justification of the facts.
This series of incidents came
after many reports were IN circula-
ton at the Capitol that Mr.. Roose-
welt was mad about the way things
were going. Whether these reports
were true or false, they were seized
upon by Republicans and by the
Democrats who no longer want any
part Of Roosevelt policy. They
were spread in the most fancifuf
fashion and there was no opportu-
nifty overlooked by which those old
meanies around the congress could
add to the Presidents discontinue.
Of course, all Of this is a part of
the great game of politics.

They have chosen to chisel away his

as possible, unless the issues were
paramount. Their strategy plainly
has been to build strength for them
selves IN their own districts and in
their own states rather slowly. The
whole thing amounts to a program
of education of the voters who a few
brief years ago were hailing Mr..
Roosevelt as the national savior. I
believe the work has gone so far
now that most of the Democrats in
