NAVY DENIES SABOTAGE PORTSMOUTH, N. H., May 26.— Navy officials today climaxed denials of sabotage or carelessness in the submarine Squalus I sinking with a strict censorship, which I banned all interviews with the thirty-three survivors and even forbade discussion of the disaster among the survivors themselves. The bah became known shortly after divers again descended 243 feet to lay groundwork for attachment of air horses which will be used in the event it is decided to raise the sunken craft with its twenty-six dead by blowing the water out of her flooded after-. compartment with compressed air.
