Aroff Trial Is Adjourned SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 0-(JP) Making no announcement as to guilt or innocence, a six-man naval courtmartial late Monday adjourned its hearing into seven charges of misconduct and false hood against Lieut.

(Under naval procedure, inno cence on any count would have been announced before adjourn ment. An actual finding of guilt would be announced in Washing ton by the secretary of the navy.)

Even before the naval commander-in-chief gave the first definite tidings from ' the scene officers fajniliar with the haz ards involvedjwere grim as they awaited an intimation of the price of a triumph in blood and war ships. '.' - . Balanced against the score made against the Japanese when -they were on the offensive, the loss thus far of a single cruiser pins the damaging of other war ships is more than reasonable. King's advice that the operation now in progress- is one of the "most complicated and difficult in warfare," suggests inevitably, however, that it may be only a down payment. Even when such an assault can be carried out with overwhelming strength and with benefit of sur prise, to dislodge a determined foe who has had months to dig in ranks in difficulty near the top of all problems a commander may face. Beginning with the British sea attack on Narvik in Norway, the costly nature of such an amphi bious enterprise has been drama tized repeatedly by the German conquest of Crete, and by Japan ese wounds in the battles of Ma cassar and the Java sea and most recently off Midway.
