received from the Sperry board naval reguia-
tions until he had opportunity to verify
some OF the statistics submitted in the minority
document. signed by the chief constructor and the
paymaster general 1t is understood that Secre-
tary Meyer is much impressed with the definite and
positive data presented by these officers as COM
pared with the general terms Of the majority
report There have been many rumors OF undue
influence exerted the two minority members OF
the board but this has greatly exaggerated
In the mean time Mr. Meyer IS studying the naval
personnel question in all its relations IN the pTepa
ration of his first annual report. which. It Is un-
derstood will contain observations concern
ing personnel reorganization. He has come to no
conclusion in the matter. and IS devoting himself 10
a peTusaI of the voluminous and conflicting reports
which had been furnished from numerous sources
10 his predecessors. To his friends Mr.. Meyer IS
admitting his regret that instead Of a single
healthy infant. the Sperry board should have pro-
duced twins.
