Journalists’ Complaints
LONDON. Juno 4
The newspapers complain of uncertainty about the progress of the rescue work, largely due to the brusque uncommunicativeness of officials of Cammell, Laird and Co. toward 100 journalists representing the newspaper agencies of Britain, France and America, a deputation from whom was allowed to pass the outer gates of the shipyard only after sending a joint letter to Mr R. S. Johnson, the managing director, who gave the first authentic account of the disaster since the submergence of the submarine two days earlier. Editorials demand the ruthless pressing and proper answering of all questions pertinent to the loss of the crew of the Thetis and the failure to effect the rescue of the occupants.
