Stories Clash
At Inquiry on
Carrier Fire

NUlINI buV
NEW YORK, Dec. % (AP).-l
A naval court Of inquiry has
heard conflicting testimony on
who was responsible for spill
ing the diesel fuel that led to
the disastrous fire aboard the
aircraft carrier Constellation.
The multimillion-d dollar blaze
last Monday left the giant un-
finished flattop a smoldering
shell and killed 40 civilian
workers at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
The court convenes again
today.
Testimony yesterday at the
second day Of the open hearings
at the Navy yard dealt primar-
lily with the whereabouts Of the
operator Of the fork, lift truck
that apparently contributed to
the cause Of the accident.
Twelve thousand military and
civilian personnel yesterday at
tended memorial services for
the workmen who perished on
the Constellation.
Address by Burke
Among those addressing the
gathering at q parking lot at
the Navy yard were Admiral
Arleigh Burke, chief Of naval
operations, and Admiral r. K.
James, chief Of the Navy's bu-
reau Of ships.
THE people who died here"
Admiral Burke said, "helped
build a powerful ship and they
gave their lives that the United
States may continue free, pow
erful and strong"
A tablet honoring the mem
ory Of the victims will be
placed aboard the carrier when
it finally is commissioned, the
Navy said.
According to one theory
presented to the court the
diesel fuel on which the flames
fed Spewed out when
:. A fork lift. in removing a
large trash container on the
carriers hangar deck, perhaps
nudged a heavy steel plate
which Sheared of q valve from
a tank Of diesel fuel. The
flammable liquid gushed out
to lower decks and caught fire.
Testimony Clashes
But the fork lift operator,
Leroy Davis, 46, Of Brooklyn.
testified yesterday that he was
away from his truck for about
Is or 80 minutes at the only
time when this could have
happened.
He Swore that he had left
his lift parked, with the igni-
ton of. 10 to IS feet from the
trash bin.
When he returned he said
he saw liquid spreading along
the deck. He added:
II thought 1t might be water.
I put my finger in 1t and
Smelled it. Then / knew it
was gasoline or kerosene"
Another witnes William
Brown jr., q rigger, said he had
seen the fork lift IS to 10 feet,
maybe more" from the trash
bin when he noticed the spread
ing liquid.
But still another witness, re-
called for additional testimony
after Mr.. Davis had left the
stand. said he had seen Mr..
Davis drive his lift right up
to the bin.
Arthur H. Pemberton, q pipe
fitter, said he saw a liquid
spreading over the deck near
the lift, which was parked at
the bin. its forks down in pick
up position.
Mr.. Davis. he said, still was
in the drivers seat.
Did you hear any loud noise,
as Of the steel plate hitting
the tank?" the court asked.
Mr.. Pemberton said he could
recall no such noise.
The shipyard'S safety special
iSt, Robert j. Mccartney, tes-
tified that he had once sug-
lgested that the big 500-gallon
tank Of diesel fuel be removed
from the hangar deck to the
open fight deck.
But, he added, 1T was a cal
culated risk anywhere we put
1t aboard ship"

Two Requests

Mrs. C. J. S., Springfield, Va.
! have q six-year-old set Of
mahogany finished ladder
back chairs. During the past
few summers, the finish on
the backs only has become
tacky. Users find their
clothing sticking to the
chairs. AS a result. the finish
has become dull and slightly
rough from an accumulation
of clothing lint.
Can anyone help me with
this problem before another
humid summer begins and
this condition returns? Is
there some simple way to
solve this problem or will I
have to refinish the chairs?
If reflnishing is the only an

or would it be too difficult to

Also, does anyone have a
