CAB Denies Grant
OF Polar Route 10
Scandinavian Line
BY The Associofed Press

An announcement by Scandi-
navian Airlines System that it
has been granted a polar route
between the United States and
Europe drew a sharp denial from
the Civil Aeronautics Board to-
day.
The airline said it is prepared
to start scheduled passenger
operations between Los Angeles
and Copenhagen by way of
Greenland. next fall "or as soon
as practicable after negotiations
for changes in present bilateral
agreements.
The CAB. responsible for max
ing recommendations to the
President on international air.

its diSpleaSure at a State De-
partment action as we'll as the
SAS announcement.
The airline based it's an
nouncement yesterday on the de-
livery by the State Department
Of a note to the Danish, Nor
wegian and Swedish Embassies
proposing an experimental air
route between the United States
and Scandinavia. by way of
Greenland.
The State Department sug-
gested that American as well
as Scandinavian airlines be al
lowed to experiment in polar
service for three years, after
which permanent routes might
be established.
The CAB position is that the
State Department has nothing to
do with the granting of foreign
air carrier permits, and that the
department appears to be trying
to apply pressure on the board
for a Los Angeles Copenhagen
polar route for SAS.
A high CAB official said today:
"The board has not made a
decision at this time, has not
made a recommendation toethe
President, and any recommends
tion made would have to have
the approval of the President
before going into effect"
Several months ago the CAB
suggested a polar route from
Seattle rather than from Los
Angeles for SAS. This the
Scandinavians rejected.
SAS also had sought permis-
sion to use the new United States
Air Force base at Thule, in
Northern Greenland, for a re-
fueling point.

opposed commercial operations

Bennington Skipper
Describes Tragedy
As Hearing Opens
BY the Assoeioted Press

QUONSET POINT, r. l., May
29.-The skipper Of the Benning-
ton today testified concerning a
possible link between catapult
mechanism and the blasts and
fires that claimed SO lives on
the big aircraft carrier Wednes-
day.
Capt. William F. Raborn, jr.,
first witness before a naval
Board of Inquiry which opened
hearings in the administration
building at Quonset, said he was
on the bridge about S am.
Wednesday directing jet launch
ingS.
He estimated it was only IS
seconds after the last jet had
been launched from the port
catapult when he saw smoke
coming from below decks on both
sides of the ship. The first ex-
plosion followed, he said.
Capt. Raborn described the
death-dealing blasts, fire and
smoke as the big carrier made
for her Quonset base from the
point rs miles south of Newport
where disaster struck.
He said the smoke was typical
of a Flash fire" with no hint
of a petroleum product.
He said there was no evidence
of a break in gas lines or fuel
lines or fuel lines and ito my
knowledge none in the main pro-
pulsion line"
In his recitation of the events
on the day of the explosion. the
captain revealed the Bennington
lost both in gyro-compasses,
enunciators, it's whistle and siren
and all communications for a
period of time until crew men,
bers in the generating room
could restore it.
Was Guided Into Bay.
The carrier was guided into
Narragansett Bay by the de-
stroyer Ingraham because it had
lost It's compass.
The ventilating system spread
whatever explosive mixture
touched off the disaster to va
rious parts of the ship and
damage was done on the second,
third and fourth decks. Smoke
was carried throughout the ship.
He said the ship was carrying
ammunitio nand officers were
prepared to flood the magazine,
which. if they had exploded,
probably would have resulted in
the Bennington's being a total
loss.
He was high in his praise for
the way the crew brought the
fire under control.
The Board of Inquiry planned
to sit throughout today. The
board probably will adjourn to
Tuesday for further testimony to
be followed by technical inquiry
at subsequent hearings.
Death Toll Rises to SO.
The number of deaths in the
explosion rose to SO last night
and Navy doctors looked to next
48 hours as the crisis period for
the 80 bandaged-Swathed sea-
men battling for life at the
Naval Hospital in Newport.
Latest victim was Marine Pfc.
