LOSS OF FRENCH SHIP.
♦ ACTION AGAINST OWNERS BEGIN. RESULT OF OFFICIAL ENQUIRY. LONDON, May 21. The English, French, and Spanish underwriters who insured the Georges Philippar's cargo have started an action for £1,125,000 against the Messageries Maritimes Company in the French Courts. The decision follows the underwriters' receipt of the official findings about the cause of the disaster, which are understood to contain disquieting evidence. [The Georges Philippar, the great French passenger motor ship, was burned and sunk in the Gulf of Aden on May 16, 1932, with the loss of 41 lives.]
