protocols embodying them are
signed by at least Is nations at the

Writer Charges Navy Sabotage
|Of Indianapolis Sinkinq News

accordingly, and in due time these
were en- route to Washington by air
Then came VI day. Almost
simultaneously with President Tru-
mans announcement of Japan's ca
pitulation, the Navy Department in
Washington suddenly released the
Indianapolis story, to the utter as
constituent of the correspondents
involved and even of high Navy Of
f1cials at Guam. The correspond
ents protested bitterly, but to nc
avail. Even Guam protested. point
ing out that the stories were even
then en- route to Washington
Couldn't the release be held up until
the stories could reach Washington?
The reply was cryptic. Sorry
Washington said, but we can't pos
sibly hold up the story"
Copy Returned to Guam.
AS a consequence, it was necessary
to intercept the mail planes, retrieve
the copy and fly it back to Guam
The story was being released at II
am. that day Guam time), 9 pm
the previous night in New York.
Now most of the correspondents,
myself included. were packed and
ready to embark for Japan that day
In fact, the trucks were loaded and
waiting to take us to our ships when
word reached us that the Navy was
releasing the Indianapolis story
Thus, for many of us, there was no
time to revise our copy, or to do any
thing about it. AS result, most of
that copy never saw the light of day.
Well. was all this accidental on
the part of the Navy? Some CORE
spondents do not believe so. The
Navy released that story on VI
day, of all days, knowing full well
that by doing so, the newspapers,
full of surrender news, would not be
able to give it the prominence II
deserved.
In the opinion of some of the cor
respondents, the Navy deliberately
sabotaged their efforts to get the
complete, detailed story to their
newspap ers.
