J.. July 7 (AP).—-The Navy began grap pling operations today in an effort to raise a giant blimp that buckled in the air and Crashed into the Atlantic off the New Jersey coast yesterday. At the same time Naval and Coast Guard vessels continued a search for 17 missing crew members feared entombed in the wreckage. A Coast Guard cutter placed in anchor in the wreckage this morning, and Navy salvage Ships were en route to the scene. A Navy official said part of the blimp's gondola is still believed attached to the bag, in water 55 feet deep. One crewman was killed and three others rescued. The blimp had 21 men aboard when she crashed “like a sagging banana.” A Naval board of inquiry was named to investigate the blimp's mysterious collapse. The survivors were picked up by several fishing boats on the calm ocean under sunny skies. The blimp was under the command of Lt. Joseph J. Sapuk of Lakewood, N.J., and Omaha, Nebr. He was among the missing. One of the survivors said a helium line may have ruptured, causing the sausage-like bag to collapse. The Doris May 11 reached the scene three minutes after the 403-foot blimp fell into the water. "It looked like a sagging banana. Then it crumpled and came down in a hurry," said Frank Mikuletzky, 19, of Bangat Light, a mate aboard the fishing vessel. He jumped overboard with a life ring and pulled survivors from the floating wreckage. The blimp had been out on a search patrol for the 40-foot sloop Vat 69, reported missing with a crew of seven or eight on her way home from the Newport, R.I., to Bermuda sailboat race last month. Nothing More Heard Ironically, the yacht was found safe by a Navy submarine at almost the same moment the high blimp radioed the international distress call "May Day, May Day." Those were the only words heard from the blimp, one of four Of the ZPG3W class, the largest airship in the world.

One of the survivors, AE 2 c Joseph Culligan, 20, of East Keansburg, N.J., said he had been sleeping and awoke to find the gondola filling with water. "I stood up, picked up a piece of jagged metal, cut a hole in the fabric of the balloon and got into the water," he said. About 10 other crewmen were also asleep, he said. Also rescued were A. C. Donald L. Shaumier of Flint, Mich., and A. M. Antonio Contreras of Geronimo, Tex. A fourth man, A. C. Edward B. Turner of Joppa, Md., and Lakehurst, was fished from the water and transferred to the aircraft carrier Essex and then by air to shore, where he was pronounced dead of a broken neck. The Essex had been in New York over the Fourth of July and reached the scene 20 minutes after the crash. One Returns to Hospital Shaumier was taken to Fort Dix Hospital in fair condition, Culligan and Contreras were treated at the Naval Air Station here. The blimp had 8 officers and 13 enlisted men. “We were blue fishing when right on the bow we saw the blimp collapse amidship,” said Capt. Charlie Eble of the Doris Ill. “The gondola fell first. It seemed just like a great big rag falling.” The blimp hit the water about 15 miles southeast of Barnegat Inlet and some 115 miles southeast of New York City. The $12 million airship, of the Reliance type, is used for radio patrol. The crash was the third major airship disaster in New Jersey. The Navy dirigible Akron crashed off Atlantic City in a storm April 4, 1933, taking 73 lives. On May 6, 1937, the German passenger dirigible Hindenburg burst into flames and crashed as it was mooring here after a trans-Atlantic flight. Flight. Thirty-six persons died.

Kennedy Seen With Johnson In No. 2 Spot RICHMOND, July 7 (AP).— Senator Kennedy's Southern spokesman today foresaw a Kennedy-Johnson ticket as a likely result of next week’s Democratic convention in Los Angeles. William Battle, son of the former Virginia Governor, served with Senator Kennedy in the same Navy PT boat squadron in the Pacific. He said his belief in the possibility of such a ticket with Senator Kennedy at the top was strengthened by Senator Johnson's formal announcement he was a candidate for the presidential nomination. Senator Johnson said he had always been prepared to serve his country in any capacity. Mr. Battle said the Texan thus left the door wide open for the formation of a Kennedy-Johnson ticket. “In my opinion it would be the strongest possible ticket for the Democrats,” said the Virginian.

Kennedy Due To Fly West Tomorrow HYANNIS PORT, Mass., July 7 (AP).—Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts plans to leave Cape Cod tomorrow night for Los Angeles and the Democratic National Convention. A spokesman at the family summer home here said Senator Kennedy will fly to New York at 9 p.m., and take a 9:45 am. flight out of New York for Los Angeles Saturday. The Senator, from runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has been on vacation at Hyanfis Port. Since last Saturday, except for a quick trip to New York Monday for his airship, Mr. Truman and another flight to New York yesterday. Senator Kennedy has been golfing, swimming and sailing on Nantucket Sound. Stephen Smith, his brother-in-law and golfing partner, said the program is much the same for the rest of the week. In New York yesterday, Senator Kennedy conferred with J. Raymond Jones, a Harlem political leader. Negro press criticism of the Senator’s candidacy apparently was the subject of discussion. Mr. Jones is one of Harlem’s most influential political leaders and is a close ally of Representative Powell, Democrat of New York. Mr. Powell has said that although he favors Senator Symington of Missouri for the Democratic nomination, he probably would support Senator Johnson of Texas because he does not believe Senator Symington can be nominated. Mr. Powell has said he does not like Senator Kennedy because of his civil rights record and for being “soft on McCarthyism.” Soft Shell CRABS Fan & Bill's Reservations EX. 3-3411 1849 1960 The Bourbop men of America’s oldest family distillery offer you this guarantee of satisfaction: YOU'll LIKE Cabin Still FOR WE PAY THE BILL Home of Stite!-Weller Bourbons SK TONIGHT ENJOY A BOURBON MAN’S BOURBON 91 PROOF S Our cash sale is the entire purchase price refunded if you are not completely satisfied.

Rosendahl Asks Probe of Navy Blimp Policy By the Associated Press Retired Vice Admiral Charles E. Rosendahl called today for a congressional investigation of the Navy’s attitude toward airships in the light of blimp tragedy. He questioned the wisdom of building large airships without dividing the gas bag into compartments. Admiral Rosendahl, long a leading advocate of lighter than-air power and a sharp critic of the Navy on this score, said in a prepared statement that the plunge of the latest type of blimp into the Atlantic off the Central New Jersey Coast in ideal weather points to “a grievous situation somewhere in the broad airship picture.” Wants Public Airing “This is not just another airship accident to be swept under the rug with another condemnation of airships in general,” he said. “It is high time that some wholly neutral agency, such as the Congress, undertake a thorough public airing of the deep-seated factors behind the Navy’s continued unrealism in airship matters that could pyramid into such a tragedy.” Admiral Rosendahl, the war Carvel to Run In Delaware DOVER, Del., July 7 (AP).— Elbert N. Carvel of Laurel announced today he is a Candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, a post he lost in 1953. J. Caleb Boggs, who beat Mr. Carvel, is not eligible to run again after serving two terms. Harry Smith, State insurance commissioner, announced two days ago he was a candidate for the nomination to be made at a convention August 25. There are four candidates so far for the Republican nomination for Governor to be made in a convention August 31. They are Lt. Gov. David Buckson, former Lt. Gov. John W. Rollins, Magistrate Frank J. Carrello, and Robert Hackett. Mitchell Says He'd Accept! Nomination HOUSTON, Tex., July 7 (AP). — Secretary of Labor Mitchell declared firmly last night he is not a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. But in the same breath he said he won’t refuse the nomination if he is drafted. “I have said before no one should refuse the nomination. That applies to me also," he said. “I do not consider myself a candidate now,” the Secretary said. “If I am nominated, then I will consider myself a candidate.” Mr. Mitchell said he will be good.

Washington—NA. 8-0441 Orders Frenared to Take Out time chief of naval airship training and experimentation at Lakehurst, N.J., was the senior surviving officer of the crash of the dirigible Shenandoah in a storm in September, 1925. In repeated congressional testimony over a span of years he has accused the Navy of neglecting development of lighter. -than-air craft. Admiral Rosendahl, now executive director of the National Air Transport Co-ordinating Committee, New York, recalled that the Navy commended its blimps last winter for performance during weather which crippled all other flying along the Northeast Atlantic sea board. Material Failure He said the lost blimp unquestionably was the victim of some sudden material failure that let the lifting gas escape. Apparently the craft was deprived of a great amount of its natural buoyancy with such rapidity as to plunge it into the sea carrying with it 17 trapped men," the admiral said. "This loss is undoubtedly related to the questionable wisdom of building such large airships on the non-compartmented or blimp principle. This in turn stems from the Navy's continued blind refusal at the Republican National Convention in Chicago July 25. Mr. Mitchell touched on several other matters during a half-hour press conference. He's in town for a civic club speech today. He said the general economic outlook for the remainder of 1960 "is very good." "I think employment will go up more each month," he said. "I think 1960 will go down as one of our best years." Mr. Mitchell said talk of a 35-hour week is "inappropriate" at this time. "An artificial reduction of the work week is not advisable now," he said. "We should be working hard to produce epough goods for our defense needs."
