Churchill Denies He Vetoed
Air Escort for Two Ships

By the Associated Press.

tleships Prince of Wales and Re-
pulse were sent on their ill-starred
tour of duty in the Western Pacific
Britain had available no aircraft
carrier to send along as protection,
Prime Minister Churchill told the
House Of Commons today.
The battleships were supk by jap
anese air attack December 10 on
the Malayan coast.
THE suggestion that the naval
staff desired to send an aircraft
carrier and was overruled by me is
as mischievous as it is untrue, !"
Churchill said. -
UNFORTUNATELY at the time, with
the exception of an aircraft carrier
in home waters, not single ship Of
this kind was available through q
series of accidents, some Of very
slight consequence. All Of them
except this one with the home fest
were under repair"
