Senate Postpones Maine Disaster Inquiry Amid Cuban Relief Efforts
The Senate Committee on Naval Affairs delays its Maine disaster inquiry as Cabinet meetings discuss naval defense and ship purchases. Relief efforts accelerate in Cuba with Klopsch organizing headquarters across Pinar del Rio and other towns, aiming to feed 20 days of supplies for destitute residents. The Maine investigation pause follows debates on immediate action versus awaiting naval board findings. The Havana court of inquiry continues to review testimony and wreck plans as divers probe new findings.
