This Is the first hearing which has oo-
CURED on the bill. although the Navy De-
partment has sent 70 the COMMITTEES copious
notes thereon. some OF them anticipating
the objections likely 70 come from naval

tertained regarding the extent and direc-
ton OF its elimination features has created
distrust OF the measure II Is probable tns
cOmmittee will call upon other officers AT
