Report Unsparingly Blames Navigating Efficiency. Fixing “complete responsibility” for the loss of seven destrovers and of twenty-three lives at Honda Point, Calif., September 8, on three of- ficers attached to the destroyer Del- Phy, the findings of the naval board of inquiry, on which a court-martial ad been ordered, charged them with culpabable ineffigiency in the per- formance of duty.” Eight other offi- cers who commanded destroyers in the group;which crashed on the rocks after misgaleulation of position will face trial ¥n charges of negligence. . The report of the board, published | today, said it was no “extenuating | circumssances,” in the case of the| squadron commander, Capt. 'ward H. Watson, the commanding officer of | the Delphy; Lieut. Commander Donald T: Hunter, and the navigating officer, Licut. Lawrence F. Blodgett. to e: cuse them from accepting “full re- | sponsibility for the accident.” It was held to be “directly attributable to bad judgment and faulty navigation” on their part. Bravery Is Praised. For having “too blindly followed the judgment of the squadron col mander” In failing to check the sition of their individual ships, the ommanders of the other destroyer the court found, must be held respor |sible in a measure. Had correct judgment been displayed on their part, the report said, the equipment of each vessel could have heen used to check their position against that ascertgined for the Delphy. The 'board highly commended the morale shown by the personnel of the destrovers in the emergenc of | e crash, declaring it was due to this perfect di. e that the loss of life v E It cited more |than a dozen officers and men whom it thought siould be commended by Secretary Denby x The report was declared by veteran naval officers here to be almost un- precedented In its sweeping commen- ation of those alleged to be respon- ble for the disaster.

Not| a single case is reported on any ship where officers or men faltered in their duty or failed to ac calmly | under orders. It is due to this perfect discipline that the loss of life was so small.” Special Citations Given. Among individuals specially cited were: Commander William L. , intelligence and seaman- Lieut. Commander Walfer D. or great bravery in swimming | seventy-five yards in a turbulent sea | to test the feasibility of arrangement for salvage of his crew”; Ensign B. 8. | Jones and nine members of the crew of the Fuller, for volunteering to operate a whaleboat “in the face of constant danger”; Chief Boatswain’ Mate Arthur Peterson, Engineman E.

Ostergard was commended for jremaining af his post on the Chaun- {cey until water was above- his waist, and Commander W. G. Roper for sea- manlike ability, 1 The board found no evidence of un- | usual tides or extreme errors of | radio signals which it would accept {as contributing to the disaster, al- though “radio bearings received by | the squadron commander were ob- | viously in error when considered for navigational purposes.” Iach ship, the report said, had its equipment for | determining course and location, which could have been used if correct judg- | ment had been displayed. Speed Is Criticized. In view of the maneuvers in which {the ships were engaged, the board did not think a speed of twenty knots { was excessive for the greater part of |the cruise, but held that it should have been reduced considerably -as soon as the first doubt as to the po- isition of the squadron was felt. Attached to the report was an esti mate fixing the money loss as a re- sult of the disaster at $13,274,952.90. Against this, however, is to be offset the value of any salvaged material.

The ancient Maya civilization of Yucatan had its troubles with the high cost of living the same as people of the United States today, according to Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley of the Car- negle Institution, speaking toddy before the Twentleth Century Club, which met at the Cosmos Club. 7 Dr. Morlgy, who spoke on the sub- ject, “The Oldest Civilization- in America,” declared that,*the Maya peoples 'lost thelr civilization after they had made great strides, on ac- count of the high cost of living problems. Their civilization, he sald, depended on agriculture. They had to clear the forests to raise their crops, and at the end of the year found they had no way to deal with the grasses which began to grow up. Owing to their inability to Invent an instru- ment to deal with the situation, they were forced to wait flve years be- tween crops. Dr. Morley sald. Mrs, Feredric Farrington presided. Mrs. Whitman Cross made a plea for the support of the Juvenile Protective Association. New members admitted were Mrs. Wilhelmus B. Bryan, Mrs Frank Collier and Mrs. Harold Doyle.
