While the investigations shaped up. intelligence officers and engineers searched the blackened interior of the carrier for clues to the disaster. Capt.

Raborn brought the crippled ship to its moorings here from a point 70 rniles at sea where the disaster occurred. Raborn. given command of the vessel only three weeks on the navigation bridge when, the first explosion' occurred as the members of his crew lined up for breakfast. "I am danged proud to be the commanding officer of such a heroic and unselfish crew of American seamen," he said. "Their rescue effort was solendid." Raborn ordered full speed ahead for Quonset while damage control parties and rescue workers fought their way into the choking smoke that billowed from the third deck in the forward port section.

Debris littered the passageways. Bulkheads and deck plates were' twisted. But there was no visible damage on the ship's exterior. Screams echoed in the compartments where men were trapped. The noise" was compounded by clanging alarm bells and the shouts of half-naked sailors who battled to save their shipmates.

Lt. (J.G.) John S. Wollam of Pittsburgh was hurled from his bed to the deck of his cabin, naked. He dashed into the passageway, borrowed a pair of trousers and grabbed a heavy-duty gas mask. "I for people." he said.

"I tried to go down a forward hatch. I started to pick up a man at the bottom but he was dead His skin was shredded off him like a peach." Even before the stricken vessel reached Quonset, seven helicopters had flown put to bring the more seriously injured ashore. The timesaving technique developed in Korea probably saved many lives, according to hospital When the carrier reached port, the dock was piled high with coffins. A corps of medical air men waited to receive the ship's grim cargo. Since Quonset is the home port of the Bennington.

scores.of wives, mothers and sweethearts were at the base, waiting anxiously to learn the fate of their loved ones. The grisly task of identifying the dead- lasted into the night. Some bodies were charred so badly fingerprints were indistinguishable. Dental charts were used as a last resort. For the relatives and friends on hand, there were hours of anxious waiting in the station auditorium.

Then an officer read the casualty list without mentioning whether the man was dead or injured. The relatives walked into a small room where chaplains gave them the news, good or bad. The death toll was the second highest in peacetime naval history. Some 176 were killed in the collision of the carrier Wnsp and destroyer Hobson April 26, 1952.

Cotton unchanged Hearing (Continued from One) Crouch once was convicted of subversive activities in the Earlier Thursday. Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) served notice that Ihe Democrats on the subcommittee will demand that Francis P.

Carr and other witnesses called in the hearing be made to testify to establish whether perjury has been committed. Symington read a brief statement on Wednesday's action, when the committee dropped charges against two of the principals in the CM.SC. These two are Carr, staff director for the McCarthy committee, and Assistant Secretary of Defense H. Struve Hensel. Symington had cried "whitewash" at Wednesday's action.

Wednesday he said it is "absolutely unthinkable" that the hearings should conclude withovit an opportunity to question Carr, who was present at some of the incidents cited in testimony by Army witnesses. He had tried and failed Wednesday to extract a promise from Acting Subcommittee Chairman Karl E. Mundt that Carr would be called as a witness even if dismissed as a principal. Symington said the Democrats move at "an appropriate time'' that Carr be called. He added that the subcommittee needs to hear certain other witnesses in order to establish whether perjury is committed.

Those witnesses will be demanded, too, he said. When Symington concluded. Mundt said he was "a little surprised" at the content of the statement. Mundt said he thought it was to be "non-controversial." Symington said he so regarded it because it merely Wednesday's developments. Tlifii "friendly" questioning of Cohiv was begun bv special subcommittee counsel Ray H.

Jenkins. When the friendly questioning is finished. Jenkins assumes the role of "prosecutor" for cross-examination. The action of the Republican majority in removing Carr as a figu''0 in the dispute ripped the spirit of Democratic Republican a that had prevailed through most of the hearings. The subcommittee voted 4 to 3 on straight party lines Wednesday to toss out Army charges against Carr.

The Democrat? were further incensed by the defeat, again 4 to 3. of their motion to summon Carr as the first McCarthy witness. If Symington's action takes the form of a motion to force the subcommittee to question Carr. it would probably go first to the Senate Rules committee which is headed by Sen. William E.
