WASHINGTON (IP)—The Navy admitted yesterday that one of its destroyers accidentally fired a live torpedo during ing World War 2 at a battleship carrying President Roose¬ velt and his wartime high ctxnmand. It missed by 50 yards. H. Seward Lewis, a former officer of the destroyer Porter, disclosed the Navy's embarrassing secret. He was quoted in Miami as saying the Porter fired the torpedo at the battleship Iowa near Gibraltar. The Iowa was alerted by radio and changed course in time to avert disaster. A Navy spokesman said Lewis' account was "substan¬ tially correct." He confirmed that the incident occurred as the Iowa was taking President Roosevelt to the Tehran con¬ ference with Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin in 1943. He said destroyers escorting the big ship were conduct¬ ing exercises, including simulated torpedo attacks, as they crossed the ocean.
