S. Navy's Operation Inland Seas fleet.

Bu', their hopes were turned to disappointment for the desrtroyers--vic- tims of a Welland Canal traffic jam--failed to come through the mist. Yesterday it became appar- that the destroyers, the USS DuPont, flagship of De- Squadron 22, and the USS Putnam, would not reach Oswego at the scheduled 7:30 a. m. time today. Definite word on the length of delay was not known until late last night when Lcmdr.
