Newspaper Page Textt ADMIRAL SAYS. Fire-Scarred Carrier 'Will Recover, Sail' NEW YORK (AP)-Th imoke Jaded. The hissing (team was :sti!led. But the scar of violence remained on the mighty aircraft carrier Constellation, a warship that had its baptism of fire before it ever saw duty. Through the night and into the early morning today a valiant and tireless brigade of firemen and rescue workers swarmed over the ship probing through the dark smokv passages, skimming the last flashes of fire and searching for casualties. Tall ladders, moving hoists and a maze of ropes and hoses formed ' a weird pattern against the dark looming bulk of the huge vessel. In the glare of the shifting floodlights, the men were like ur gent Lilliputians swarming over a prostrate husk of a giant. "Stretcher-bearers over here, nlease." barked a loudspeaker, and the ship yielded up another of its mournful cargo. The carrier had cradled death and had known destruction while it still lay majestic at the berth where It was built. The Constella tion was a battle-marked veteran six months before it entered the line. The offia-rs wore the strained but dogged look of men after bat tle. But the Navy, true to tradi tion, mustered its "carry on" grit. "I would like to emphasize that this ship will recover from her damage and will go to sea, said Adm. Schuyler N. Pyne, in charge of the Brooklyn Shipyard where the vessel, 90 per cent complete when the fire came, was moored ', The ship's newly assigned skip per, Cant. Thomas J. Walker, not' ed- conjectures that the fire and death might cause "superstitions about the ship." "I. feel certain that this Is not the case," he added. "The attitude of the crew is that she will be the finest ship afloat. Of this we arc firmly resolved." Adm. Pyne Interjected, "This disaster can dcublc that resolve." Through the nisjlit the fight for the ship and the civilian construe tion men wlio were aboard when the fire struck was a stark tab' le.iu.

"Oxygen, on the double," snapped a loudspeaker, part of a continuous din of emergency calls Each time a victim was brought out it was a tiny vignette of trag edy against the hugo, dark back drop of the ship. Lines of men, like pack trains, moved n and out of the area carrying equipment and aid ma terials on their shoulders. Most of the dead were brought from the innards of he ship, trapped there by the fire that was concentrated originally on the main deck. Some were drowned below in the torrent of water poured into the ship in fighting the flames. Oth ers suffocated from smoke. At the outset, the fire blocked the gangways leading to shore, and more than 3,000 construction workers were removed from the vessel by launch or crane lift from the flight deck above the fire. Some dived Into the icy waters of the East River and were picked up. But those below the fire were the crucial concern in the terrible drama. Many of those alive and dead- brought out of that area were tak en through a hole cut through the' 2Mi-inch steel plate on the ship s poit side below the fire level. Other holes were cut in the star board side of the (hip so that fire hoses could be lowered into the Interior to put out fires and cool red-hot melal It was so hot v o couldn't get to it any other way," Pyne said. the fire raged out of control about 12 hours.

Legislator Pay SALEM (AP) - Atty. Ccn. Robert Y. Thornton said Monday that legislators should be paid their $600 annual pay without any hitches.
