Officer's Death Probed By Navy SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. (UP) The mysterious death of Cmdr. Everett O. Rigsbee, Jr., n his cabin aboard the big aircraft carrier Antietam was investiga’rd today by a board of navy officers. Rigsbee, 41-year-old skipper ot the Essex-class vessel, died with a single .38 caliber bullet through his brain yesterday while more than 1,500 men swarmed over the ship at Hunt-ic-r’s Point naval yard preparing *it for the mothball fleet. The navy board of investigation sought to determine whether Rigsbee was shot to death a« - cidcntally. by suicide, or by foul play. The board was expected to issue its report today. Naval officials maintained tight control over the Investigation with civilian police Inspectors playing only a minor role. A barricade of silence was thrown around the shipyard and navy authorities answered ‘‘no comment” on all details of the death. Homicide detectives and navy spokesmen said they believed Rigsbee committed suicide but added there were unusual circumstances surrounding the case. Fellow officers reported that Rigsbee was in good health and only recently had passed a rigid air pilot’s physical examination. He expected to be promoted to captain soon. Rlgsbee's wife said her husband had been “terribly overworked and under great strain.” He hadn’t had leave for several years, she said, and could Aer no prospects of a rest until th» ship was decommissioned. Rigsbee was dressed in the green uniform of the navy’s air arm. The bullet had passed through his head and the revolver from which It was fired lay beside him. The exploding powder had singed his hair. The gun was examined by police experts. An orderly stationed outside the captain's cabin did not heatthe shot above the rivet hammers being used to prepare the 30,000-ton ship for mothballing. The coroner and police were called nearly two hours after Rlgsbee’s personal steward found him dead. The time of death was set at about 11 05 r.

m.

Rigsbee, whose home Is In Fort Stockton, Tex., assumed command of the vessel only 10 days ago. He attended Texas A ft M University before entering, the Naval Academy from which he graduated In 1930. He later took flight training and commanded a navy squadron In the Pacific during .the war. He had served as skipper of the navy seaplane tender Orca and for a time was public relations officer at Corpus Christ!, Tex. In 1936, he married Helen MacLaren Broadfoot of Rost,

Cal., and they have resided in Alameda Cal. He leaves four children: Barbara Jean, 18, now in Kalamazoo. Mich.. Susan Ann 11, Everett Olin. 7, ami Jeannette, 2. '49 Wheat Crop Will Be Largest WASHINGTON. May 13.— (UP) —The government expects farm bins to overflow this summer with the greatest wheat supply in the nation's history. Current prospects are that th supply will be greater than 1600.000.000 bushels. That’s 50 per cent more than the country had in the summer of 1940, when there was plenty to meet its needs. During the flood of wheat to market, officials disclosed, the government plans to buy at th( free market price millions of bushels ntf wheat for its export programs, even though It aU ready owns more than half of the remaining 1948-crop wheat because of price support operations. This wiir tend to hold up market prices for farmers who don’t have the storage space required for price support protec-

tion.
