First direct testimony water poured
into the sunken submarine Squalus
through the main Induction system

quiry today by William Isaacs of
Washington, D. C, the aubmers
ible's cook.
It was the first evidence offered
to the board the Induction system,
previously blamed by some officers
for the sinking, might be responsible
for the disaster.

water come out of the engine room's
main Induction duct, as he peered
through a peep hole In the engine
room bulkhead. j
Then, in water knee deep, he fled
from the battery room to the safety

ried 26 men to death deep in the
sea, today supported the testimony
of his commander the virtually un
protected ventilating systems of this
nation's submarines were their great

Almost simultaneously he gave new
Indication failure of the air in
duction system was the cause of the
accident.
"They probably would be the first
things to be ruptured In case of a
depth bomb explosion or In the case
of any unusual happening or acci
dent outboard," he told the naval
court Inquiring Into the Squalus
tragedy.
Disaster struck the Squalus
stealthily, according to Doyle's tes
timony, when the "Christmas tree"
was green. In submarine parliance
this meant all lights on the tree

green rather than red and gave false
assurance the submarine wss ready

In addition to the story told by
the Indication board, Doyle - said,
Lieutenant John C. Nichols of Chi
cago, came to him from the for
ward compartment, and Ensign Jos
eph W. Patterson of Oklahoma City,
from the after compartment and
reported to him orally their sections
were In readiness. This, too, con
firmed the testimony given yesterday
by the Squalus' commander, LL O. F.
Naquln,
After reporting, Patterson return
ed to his station and perished.
"Then this definitely establishes,"
asked Naquln, In cross-examination.
'the fact that communications were
not faulty with these two compart
ments as late as ten seconds after
the first blast (a diving signal) had
been sounded?"
A very definite Indication,"

Air-Conditioned
Plane Shows
Well in Test
Seattle, June 31 (Pv-A atrato
llner which provides the comforts
of an alr-condltloned room sister
ship of the liner which crashed with
the loss of 10 lives on a demonstra
tion flight last March has sprouted
Its flying wings at the Boeing Air
craft plant here.
The glistening air giant, hailed
by Boeing officials as the world's
first supercharged cabin transport
plane, completed yesterday the Ini
tial test of Its "air conditioning"
equipment at 16.500 feet altitude.
While Instruments outside regis
tered 9 degrees below tero, Centi
grade, Chief Test Pilot Edmund T.
Allen reported nine company em
ployes in the ship's cabin "were per
fectly comfortable In our shirt
sleeves."
Allen said the descent from 16.500
feet to 6000 was made at 600 feet a
minute, but there was no feeling of
rapid descent because the pressure
regulating equipment kept the ca
bin atmosphere at virtually constant
pressure.
The altitude conditioning system
consists of mechanical blowers, or
superchargers, that Increase the
pressure of the air as It enters the
plane's ventilating system at alti
tudes of decreasing pressure.
Although It was the first altitude
test of the sealed cabin conditioning
appartus. It was the 11th test fHirht
of the big plant, which Is designed
for speedy and smooth sailing at
high altitudes.
The 33-passenger stretoliner has
a wing spread of 107 feet, height
of 17 feet and length of 64 feet. Its
four UOO-horse power motors give
it a speed of about 240 miles per
hour.
Test flights on another of the big
Boeing ships art expected to begin

porarily suspended today authori
zation of any new WPA projects
costing more than 140,000 limit set
by the house In the new 11,735,000,
000 relief bill.
Colonel F. C. Harrington, admin
istrator, telegraphed state admin
istrators not to start any project
which did not have presidential
sanction prior to June 14, which
would exceed the house limit of

federal enterprises.
Aides explained Harrington sent
the order to forestall possible com
plications should the senate accept
the house restrictions which remain

itation were removed, however, they
said, Harrington likely would re
voke his order Inasmuch as he has
officially objected to the proposed
limitation.
