Gotham Sad To See Ship Go to Death

New York, Jan. 26.-(UPD-Th. Grand old Lady" of the United States Navy sailed out of New York harbor toward oblivion yesterday.
 The gallant battleship New York cast off her moorings soon after II a. m, and slid away from her Hudson River pier bound for the Pacific and almost certain death.
 Sheu be one Of the vessels used in the Navy's atomic bomb tests to be held next May. She'll be turned into a twisting, burning hulk-so the experts can discover just what this new terror means to a steel structlred ship.
 It was a good day for a good ship to say goodbye. The sun gleamed off the Hudson's waters. and the old Lady" picked her way care- fully among the smaller ships. Now and then she gave a smart toot on her whistle just to let them know that she was still around.
 The State of New York had done all 1t could to keep her from leav- ing this way. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey tried to buy her as a shrine but the Federal Government said, mo. We need her more than you do."
 Seven hundred officers and men, instead of her nominal complement of iy600, were aboard to make this final ride.
 Capt. Lowe H. Bibby. who has been in command Of the 2T.OO0-tOn veteran only since Jan. 10. refused to give Up hope.
 T think the New York may with stand the atom bomb" he grimiy told the press. T am proud to be the commanding officer Of the ship at this time. ! feel also that the experiment Is justified.
 But Pred Ellenberg, 6e-yeaF-oId New Yorker who served two years aboard the New York in World War I as chief electrician, couldn't agree with the captain.
 T say no" he said. "It's wrong to do the old ship like this. Let them make a training ship out Of her, but don't destroy her. Hell, I've got to admit that I'm sentl. mental"

The claim is made that the market value could be interpreted as ex- tending beyond the 1045 period when the revaluation was made by the George B.

 MT. Jenks has already gone on record as saying that he would not reduce the Horan valuations on any overall basis whatsoever"
