WASHINGTON, May 22-(UP)— A confidential report prepared for i the Senate naval affairs oommitteo, it was learned today, asserts that : "unreasonable time limitations ... I dictated in Washington" and placed upon the contractor converting the French liner Normandie into the j troopship LaFayette may have been responsible for the fire which gutted the ship in New York on Feb. 9. "It cannot be denied," the report i said, “that the haste imposed upon the contractor by the bureau of ships was an important factor in the |
oss of the LaFayette.
"What is more important is the undisputed fact that this haste was ( ictated in Washington by men who evidently had no conception of the work entailed in carrying out their orders and in total disregard of contrary advice from responsible and competent men on the scene." The report is being studied by committee members and has not been acted upon. It was prepared by committee counsel James F. Dulligan who investigated the fire with the cooperation of the navy and the federal bureau of investigation. Late yesterday the navy announced that $60,000,000 vessel, which capsized after thousands of tons of water had been poured into her hold, would be salvaged in operations that will last more than a year and cost
several millions of dollars. SINK 3 JAP SHIPS

Claire L. Chenalt, leader of the American volunteer group, said today that the United States could "wipe out’ ’the Japanese air fleet if it would send 2.000 planes to the Far East. He predicted in an interview, the United States probably would begin an air offensive against the Japanese within the next six months. He had no doubt that it would be successful. “If the United States will direct even a small percentage of its present airplane output to the Far East, the Japanese will suffer a shortage of planes within six months, if they keep on losing as mapy planes as they have during the last six months," he said. He thought the Japanese were wasting their time bombing and trying to capture Chinese bases from which American long range bombers can rain explosives and incendiaries on Japanese cities. There were too many Chinese bases within striking distance of Japan for the Japanese to capture them all he explained.
