San Pedro Calif June 14 AP lack of air pressure to clear 14 inch gun barrels in turret No 2 of the battleship Mississippi figures as the first evidential cause offered to the inquiry board into Thursday’s disaster that killed 48 men. Testimony described breech blocks blown back and barrels cleared by hand and warned of fumes and gas remaining in barrels raising fire risk. If substantiated the claim could trigger fleet wide checks on big guns. The court reserved final comment for its report.
