Suspected by British
Probing Naval Blasts

There was speculation the pur-
ported incidents. said to have
occurred aboard three destroyers.
are part Of a highly organized
wrecking campaign. possibly Com
munist-inspired.
Tighter security measures were
reported clamped around all naval
bases and installations.
The incidents were said to have
occurred a short time before nine
ammunition barges exploded in
Portsmouth Harbor last Friday.
Nineteen persons were injured in
the blast, which destroyed a pier
and damaged buildings and
homes.
Destination Undisclosed.
There were reports that the
ammunition was destined for
British warships operating OF
Korea, but the Admiralty refused
comment on that point.
Admiral Of the Fleet Sir Alger-
non Willis. commander-in-chief
at Portsmouth, said yesterday the
possibility Of sabotage cannot
now be ruled out" as the cause of
the blast. A naval board of in
quiry is expected to hear so wit
neSSes.
Two of the new suspected sabo-
tage cases were said to have oc-
cured at Devonport naval base
and one at sea. The Admiralty
refused to comment on these re-
ported cases.
The new incidents are the
latest which have been aimed at
naval warshpis during the past
two years. Some Of the previous
ones have officially been put down
as malicious damage" others as
sabotage attempts.
Security Rules Tightened.
About a year ago, the govern
ment. tightening UP its security
lines. screened naval dockyard
workers for Communists and
Communist sympathizers.
During the past 18 months Sc
curity forces have investigated
these incidents:
A handful of sand was found
June II in the main propeIling
machinery of the submarine Tally
Ho which was undergoing a refit
at Davenport. w. j. Edwards,
civil lord Of the Admiralty, told
the House Of Commons he believed
it to be an attempt at malicious
damage" ....
On May 1 three signal flares
were found in the boiler room of
the aircraft carrier Illustrious.
There was no explosion or dam
age.
In January, 1949, an oil pipe in
the steering machinery Of the SUBJ
marine Trenchant was blocked
with a piece of rag during tests.
In the same month, a Cotton
motor vessel sank in Devonport
dockyard. A sea water intake was
found open.

found in the gearbox of the II ,0O0-
ton aircraft carrier Terrible, re-
