Putting F-4 Up to Josephus LOR VON L. MEYER, for- merly Secretary of the Navy, charges Josephus Daniels ith re- sponsibility for the loss of life in the sunken submarine F-4. Mr. Meyer says he established in the Navy De- partment a system of inspection, under which, if it had been maintained, the weakness in the F-4 which caused the disaster would almost certainly have been disclosed.
