Navy Denies Report
BottIeship Went
Auround in Storm

The Navy Department today
denied reports that the unf1n-
ished battleship Kentucky went
aground near it's pier at New
port News on the James River
"She never went aground at
all. Her nose is in the mud al
most all the time" a Navy
spokesman said.
He explained that the big
ships stern was blown about rs
feet away from the dock when
lines wrenched out bollards on
the pier. Tugs are nosing the
ship back into place.
The water is shallow for a
ship of such heavy draft at that
particular pier, the spokesman
said. The Kentucky, of the As
000-ton class, has f1oated unfin-
ished for more than two years
awaiting completion of plans to
convert her into a guided missile

SideIiehts: District

The Capital Transit Co., had
its troubles in yesterdays hurri-
cane especially between 4 and
6 pm, with the most important
cause being falling trees.
Every street car line suffered
delays of at least an hour due
to distractions. The Wisconsin
avenue line also suffered from
failure of a power feeder line
lasting an hour and a half.
The company sent out every
available man to cut trees up so
they could be taken away.

policemen be available to handle

cruisers were made available to
respond on storm calls and other
emergencies.
The American Automobile As

twice the normal number of
trouble calls during the storm.
The AAA reported 480 calls
as compared with an average
of about 200. officials warned
motorists that driving en- side
streets will be hazardous today
because of wet leaves. Most of

The only major roadway
