Titanic not a speedboat declares Ismay on stand
Washington April 30 The senate investigation into the Titanic wreck nears conclusion. D Pruce Ismay managing director of the International Mercantile Marine was recalled and denied attempting to re insure the liner after she sank. He said Titanic was not a speed boat but built to be the biggest and best equipped vessel. A later charge claimed White Star officials knew of the disaster earlier but hid it. The hearing may continue with testimony for a possible damage suit by Mrs Louis Robbins of New York.
