R. STAPLER SENDS OBSCURE TELEGRAM Marine Officer, Says Radio Station Failed Him Dur ing Last of August SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept. 21. (By the Associated Press.) Un der the smoke screen of techni calities which hung lover today's session of the naval court of in quiry investigating the wreck of seven destroyers off Honda, Cal., September 8, four men responsible for the operation of a radio com pass on Point Arguello came . la for a grilling cross-fire of ques tions from counsel for 13 naval officers who have been named de fendants in connection with the disaster probe. ,J The radio station itself received a direct thrust in the. form of an accusing .telegram produced by counsel for Capt. Edward H. Wat son, chief of the destroyer squad ron which ran aground, who said he 'knew nothing of the sender of the message except that he signed bis name "J. R.f Stapler" and gave his address as -152 Riverside Drive, New York. Message Received Stapler's telegram said he could produce records of radio bearings received on August 23 from Point Arguello, "which, had we not dis regarded them, would have put us ashore on San Miguel Island." Whether He was' aboard, a com mercial vesselj or naval craft at that time, the Sender did not state. First of the four men to be In terrogated Was Lieutenant Com mander' John M. Ashley, superin tendent of communications for the 11th naval district and responsible for the supervision of naval radio stations in that district. '-' , Mr. Ashley -was called to , the stand for the purpose of introduc ing the log of the Point 'Arguello compass station, which was ad mitted in evidence as a record of all signals or messages sent and received there between the hours of noon and midnight on Septem ber 8. , :-' ."-'.' . .. Disregard Signals It has been brougnt out In pre vious testimony that signals tell ing the navigators of the destroy er squadron that they were still too far north of Point Arguello to turn east, were -disregarded,' and one of these navigators haa testi fied that the signals were disre garded : because- radio compass bearings from Point Arguello were so Inaccurate in - the hours preceeding the disaster that "little weight was attached to them." Alleged Inaccuracies and Impos sibilities of inaccuracies at Point Arguello. therefore, became the center of interest in the cross examination of the communica tions superintendent. ! ' He was pressed tot information concerning a reciprocal bearing eent to the USS Delpby. flagship of the 11th destroyer squadron at 8:35 on the. night of September 8, in response to a message say ing "we are to tne southward; give us reciprocal. "There is no record in the log of such a bearing at 8:35," be replied. . "Are you aware that four dif ferent persons copied such a bear ing from Point Arguello station?" Details Sought ' Lieutenant Commander Ashley said he Was not aware of it. - Next the naval officers acting as counsel for their 13 fellow offi cers pressed the witness for de tails as to any change in equip ment at the Point Arguello station on the day of the wreck.
