Executive Order Removing Force
From Warships Not Approved
by Congressman.

Washington, y. c.. Jan. After
listening to an explanation by the navy
department officials as TO why the ma
rines were taken off all ships by ex-
ccutive order the conccnsus Of opin-
ion of the members Of the house com
mittce on naval affairs seemed to be
that the additional cost attached to
such course did not warrant IT, IT
is believed that the committee will
include in the naval bill a limitation
on the appropriation for the marine
corps which win necess;sate the ma
rines being put back on the ships.
Both Secretary Newberry and Ad-
miral John f. Pillsbury appeared be-
fore the committee. Admiral Pills
bury explained that the reason for
recommending the withdrawal was
that discipline demanded it. When
mem bers of the committee asked him
if he ever knew of any friction due to
the marines serving with the sailors,
he was unable TO citc an instance.
He said that the navy intended to
enlist 2.100 sailors to perform the
services which the marines have per-
formed on ship board in the past.
