CANNOT Be DISCIPLINED
Congress Will Protect Naval Officers
Who Testified Before Naval
Affairs Committee.

Washington, Feb. S.-Rear Admiral Cas-
par Goodrich retired, was a witness be-
fore the house naval affairs committee
today. While he did not directly attack
the Meyer plan. he said he did not believe
Secretary Meyer had given the NeWberTy
plan sufficient trial before replacing il
with another. He said the NeWberry plan
would have saved the navy department
more than a million dollars annually.
\ member of the committee commented
today upon the proposed disciplining Of
Rear AdmiTals Rogers and Caps.
They will not be discharged so long
as Congress is in session" he said. Sec
rotary Meyer will find out that he cannot
chop off a subOrdinate's head whenever
it pleases him. Does he suppose that the
government, which trains a naval Off
Ger from bOyhood at an expense Of thous-
ands of dollars. cannot. through one of
its legislative bodies. ask that officer such
questions at it wishes? 1t is ridiculous
to think otherwise
