NAVAL COURT BLAMES NORMANDIE BLAZE ON 'GROSS CARELESSNESS' (Continued from First Page) Scott, naval inspector in charge of the conversion work. Knox's Comment In commenting on their responsibility Knox Thine imposed a most pressing deworld military situation mand for troop transports and the enormity of the expansion. of ship construction and conversion resulted in the placing of an extremely heavy burden upon the shoulders of those engaged in readying ships for.
military service. "Ag result, corners had to be cut and responsibility. delegated. to persounel less experienced and capable than would be the case In normal times." Eng Simultaneously with release of the court of inquiry report, Sccretary Knox disclosed appointment of a special committee to study the condition of the Normandie and make recommendations with respect to its future usefulness, presumably to say whether the ship could he restored to service or. would have to be scrapped.
Committee Named J. Barstow Smull of J. H. Winchester New York city, was named chairman of the Other members A. Gibbs, Gibbs Cox.
New York; Rear-Admiral 11. S. Howard of the navy's bureau of 'ships; H. G. Smith, president of the National Council of American Shipbuilders; A.
V. Moore, president of the MooreMcCormack Lines. New York: Rear-Admiral I. L. Vickery, United States Maritime commission: RearAdmiral George H.
Rock, retired val officer and administrator of Webb Institute of Naval Architecture: Prof H. L. Seward of Yale university, and Comdr W. A. Sullivan of the navy's bureau of ships.
The Normandie, now on its side at the New York pier where it capsized several hours after the fire started and the naval court's report said this was due to "the! flooding of water placed on board to fight the fire," and "flooding from the sea" after the ship had begun to list as a result of the accumulated fire-fighting water. fire, the said, started when life preservers stored in the $60,000.000 luxury liner's were ignited by torch was being used to remove an' ornamental light standard. There were 1160 bales of the preservers and the blaze, 1t was added. spread as a "grass. Robins Company's Fallure The court of Inquiry asserted that Robins company had failed to have.
extinguishers, connected watch- ready. for-use fire hose or even fire ers at the scene of. the blow torch The training of fire watchers by the Robins coupany, the court said, "was superficial" and "could not possibly qualify the fire watcher to carry out the necessary precautions to prevent, combat or extinguish fires." It was further stated that the coast guard fire brigade stationed on the ship "had very little training in their duties." The coast guard detachment consisted of six officers and 277 enlistmen under Lieut-Comdr Brooks. The court reported that Brooks "did not take any affirmative action with regard to protecting the Lafayette from fire," but added that he "is not guilty of any offense nor can be be charged with serious blame." Brooks, the report said. "made a sincere effort to protect the vesgel to the best of his ability, but was hampered in so doing due to the lack of experienced personnel and capable assistants." Scott Sought Production Lieut-Comdr Scott, the court declared, "concentrated his attention on getting the work done as sooN as possible under high-pressure circ*mstances, so as to place the U.
S. S. Lafayette in satisfactory operating condition as a transport in less. than two months." "Extensive repairs in conversion work," it was added, "cannot possibly be carried out in an orderly and telligent manner under such conditions. "While Lieut-Comdr Scott was not were to be undertaken in informed that burning operational lounge, did know.
that such operations were to be performed and should have appreciated the need for special precautions." Scott. the court said. placed too much reliance on the supervisors and employes of the Robins company for carrying out precautions required by that company's contract and called this "an error in judgment rather than a commission of an offense." Knox said that even though "gross carelessness and negligence in utter violation of rules and common on the part of the contractor's employes, were the "direct and proximate causes" of. the fire, military responsibility for the safety of the vessel remained unaltered in the hands of those charged with that safety." "Not Unmindful of Circ*mstances" Knox added that' he was not "unmindful of the mitigating and extenuating circ*mstances that attended the conversion of the but that these circ*mstances "do not serve completely to exonerate or exculpate" Brooks and Scott from blame. The court of inquiry asserted flatly that, "no evidence of sabotage was discovered." A House sub-committee reported recently that "carelessness and lack of proper supervision" were responsible for the diaster.
Since the major fire, there have been several other blazes aboard the liner as workmen labored with acetylene torches in an attempt to salvage her. Patrick J. Walsh, New. York city fire commissioner, said today that a fire last Saturday was by sparks from such a torch and that there was no evidence of sabotage.

RUSSIANS ANNOUNCE CAPTURE OF 1500 NAZI PLANES IN SIX WEEKS (Continned front First Page) mo Douglas. MacArthur was holding discussions with other war leaders on. "highly confidential" matters, The allied success in Burma while only local appeared of, considerable importance not only by reason of its -at the right anchor of the allied line but because of: the fact that it WAS the Arst effective allied counteraction.
Yenangyaung was wrested from the invader in frontal assaults led by British tanks and supported by Chinese and British Infantry. Chungking announced exultantly that sevoral thousand British troops isolated to the south had thus been liberated, but, it seemed unlikely to London that any such force was in that area since the chief task of destroying the oil wells had earlier been completed. At. all events, a most. dangerous Japanese spearhead: was broken.
and the day' brought too. of renewed offensive action by the royal air force. British bombers sweeping the west Burma coast bombed Japna-Janose airports, barges and launches, and two schooners. American Flying Tigers shot down two enemy planes in a successful defense -of their base. As to the most important offensive action in recent weeks--Saturday's bombing attacks on Tokio, Yokohama, Kobe and Nagoya--Japan still plainly was worried.
puzzled and unsure as to how it all happened. A new hypothesis raised In Tokio was that the bombers had been sprung from three American aircraft carriers and had flown on to shelter in China after their missions over Japan's greatest cities. In. suggesting this. explanation, however, Japanese Imperial headquarters identifled the 'ralders as North American B-25's-which are big army bombers which 80 far as is known can't be sprung from carriers.
The latest in the bewildering of Japanese announcements estimated the raiders at "approximately 10" but did not repeat previous claim that nine- had been "shot down. An offTokio announcement implied, in fact, that only. one had been lost by the that one forced down. In the absence of information from Washington or other allied capitals, these things at least seemed the mission was accomplished with very little loss to the American planes, and that material damage had been caused in On the Rusgian: front significant Soviet offensive action was reported yesterday on two fronts- Leningrad and west of Moscow. Russian dispatches reported that the Soviet army of the center had brought its big guns up to within range of Smolensk, the vital German position 230 miles west of Moscow and only about 50 miles short of the white Russian frontier, and that Russian troops were advancing on the city from an area only 18 miles to the northeast.
In the north, the Russians were smashing at the German lines on the Volkhov river below Leningrad, urgently trying to break through before the ice melts and the river reverts to its former position as a strong guard for the axis flank, and likewise were violently attacking the Finnish lines on both sides of Lake Ladoga. The Moscow radio announced that heavy German aerial attacks on units of the northern red fleet had been beaten off and 15 Nazi planes destroyed. In the unfolding tragedy of France, the day brought Pierre Laval's first speech since his return to Vichy as "chief of government." and in it he made the extraordinary declaration that republican France committed a "crime" in going to war against Germany. He remarked what already had been widely observed -that to reach an agreement with the Nazis had been "like an obsession" him--and stated that the French people either must come together with their Gerconquerors or see "our civilization disappear." At about the time of his address in behalf of those whose soldiers had destroyed France the Nazi ordered the execution of 30 more French. hostages, this time for a bombing of a German troop train; announced that 80 more would be executed it the guilty had not been turned up by.
Thursday, and ordered 1000 more "Communists. Jews and sympathizers" herded into eastern Europe.

He had sighted a enemy ship and began maneuvering carefully into position to his torpedoes when he tras discovered both Japanese planes and surface craft.
They opened an attack with depth charges and bombs, but Parks 'and his grim crew completed their maneuver and sank the ship. Their sub was damaged but officers and men escaped injury.
