McNutt. | ‘The delegation was led by Frank M. McHale, Democratic national committeeman from Indiana and campaign manager for Mr. McNutt. Others in the delegation were|] Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston, national committeewoman from Indiana; State Democratic Chairman Fred F. Bays; Mrs. Sanford Trippett, State vice chairman, and Dr. Carleton B.

‘Keep Islands,’ McNutt ‘Says in Radio Debate

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (U. P.)—In the interests of both the Philippines and the United States, the islands should remain under American SOV=ereignty, Paul V. McNutt, former High Commissioner, said in a radio debate with Nicholas Roosevelt, former Vice Governor of the Philippines, last night. “It is my earnest conviction that North America and the Philippines are not far apart, and that they can be harmonized—harmonized for the salvation of the Philippines, for the protection of our last frontier, for the larger interests of America and for the peace of the Pacific,” Mr. McNutt declared, Mr. Roosevelt, Ireferring to Mr. McNutt as “the probable heir apparent of the Democratic mantle,” foresaw grave danger that the situation entailed risk of conflict with Japan over the Islands, and asked: “Is there any rational American who warms to the idea of seeing American lives, American ships and American money used to defend the Philippines? It is time to think of America first!”

VALVES BLAMED IN SQUALUS DISASTER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (U. P.).— Secretary of Navy Charles Edison revealed today that the submarine Squalus disaster might have been averted had routine procedure in diving—the closing of four, handoperated “hull stop valves”—been followed. The Naval court of inquiry which investigated the tragedy absolved of “serious blame” the officers and crew of the ill-fated submarine and attributed the sinking to mechanical failure of the air [intake valve leading to the vessel's engine. The two main |ventilating valves of a submarine are the engine induction and hull ventilation valves. Pipes from these are cross-connect-ing and failure of either to close before submerging would result in the flooding of pipe systems leading from both. “Hull stop valves,” a secondary precaution to “back up” the main valves in event of their failure, are provided at points where the air ducts enter the inher compartments. They normally are closed by hand before submerging and failure to close them, if the main valves fail, would result in flooding the vessel. The court of inquiry found that failure of the air intake valve leading to the engines was not discovered before the fatal dive either becaus of an electrical defect in the valv indicator or a mistake in reading the indicator.
