March 14 (UJE) The army today was. looking into the "mechanical failure" of the automatic anti-aircraft gun that pumped eight shells Into an empty sxy yesterday and started a flock of wild rumors ranging from a submarine bombardment to a strange, big plane high over New York. The only evidence of the shell? ing that remained was a chunk of stone blown from the Nassau street wall of the Equitable building, build-ing, between the 37th and 38 th floors. All the army had to say publicly was: "About 3 p. m. this date (March 13) one of the automatic antiaircraft anti-aircraft weapons located along the .East river accidentally discharged dis-charged eight rounds. As far as can be learned to date, seven of these rounds are believed to have fallen into the river, and one to have hit 120 Broadway, knocking out a few brick. Preliminary investigation in-vestigation Indicates that the accident ac-cident occurred through some mechanical failure in the firing mechanism or the gun. Further investigation is being carried out." U. S.

CHICAGO, March 14 (HE) The Chicago Sun reported In a copyrighted copy-righted dispatch from Sydney, Australia, today that "thousands of United ' States soldiers'? arrived arriv-ed in Australia three weeks ago in a convoy which survived Japanese Jap-anese attacks without the loss of a man. . The dispatch was sent by: Sun Correspondent Edward Angly, who said he accompanied the convoy, con-voy, -.r "Where the soldiers are debarking de-barking and what they are doing Is a' military " secret," the dispatch dis-patch said. "But it is possible to reveal that the troop convoy in which I came to Australia three weeks ago was attacked on more than one occasion." "Our protecting warships were quick to strike and I have a notion that some of the Japanese who left home looking for trouble found so much of it in our com pany that they will never getT home to tell the tale. "On the other hand, every man In our convoy reached his destination destin-ation safe and sound." No additional details on the attacks were given. ( Angly 's dispatch was the first received by an American newspaper news-paper or press . association reporting re-porting the arrival of a troop convoy at Australia. The London Daily Mail, however, carried a dispatch from its correspondent, Walter Fair, last Saturday, reporting- he was at sea with a United Nations' convoy in the south Pacific. : (The navy department at Washington Wash-ington said Sunday it was its "impression" that Fair's dispatch "contained no positive facts having hav-ing any relation whatsoever to new convoy operations in that area." The navy said Farr's dispatch dis-patch had been filed from Honolulu.) Hono-lulu.) Angly said the convoy "made the Journey in crowded, blacked out troop ships, out of touch with the world at war for several weeks, not knowing at any time what waters we were in nor Where we were headed. 'The men with whom I made the journey came from all parts of the United States," the dispatch dis-patch said. "Many of them were rushed across the United States to our embarkation point to leave on one or the early transports which were harbingers of many more to come."
