SENATORS CRITICS
OF DANIELS ACTION
Believed Four Young Men Who
Were "FIunked" Should Get
Commissions.

The Senate Committee on Naval AZ
fairs is strongly of the opinion that the
four young men who took the examina-
ton for commissions in the Marine
Corps but were ''funked" by Secretary
Daniels after they had passed the
boards examination. should receive
appointments and get their commissions
Much opposition exists in committee
TO the course of Secretary Daniels IN
turning down four young men who
passed the examination under the rules
and then turning around and giving
commissions to three young men who
did not pass under the rules. The fact
two of the three favored young men
are from North Carolina, the home
State of the Secretary, has caused q
itism.
Solution Suggested.
As a way out OF the difficulty, Il was
suggested in well-informed circles in the
committee today that the four young
men who had been 'funked" should be
commissioned and also the three who
were favored by Secretary Daniels. This
would straighten out the controversy.
The number Of vacancies to be filled at
the next examination could then be re-
ducdt correspond with the adultiondi
appointments. Moreover, Senators
would expect Secretary Daniels to pre-
scribe definite rules for the next exam
ination and stick to them. eliminating
the requirements for aptitude and eff
cheney in the revised rules IL he saw
fit, but not changing the rules after an
examination had been begun.
Many OF the Senators on the COM
mittee think this would be fair way
out of the tangle and would be just
to all concerned.
Aroused At Action.
The fact that the Candidates took the
examination under one set Of rules and
then the Secretary shifted the rules 10
suit his own purposes before the COM
missions were issued strikes at least
some OF the committee as unfair. A
number of Senators outside the COM
mlttee have been appealed to by the
young men interested.
The committee took no action last
night after hearing Secretary Daniels.
Senator Tillman, chairman, has not yet
called another meeting. and none may
be held before next week. Meantime.
all the recrt appointmnts for commits
SONS in the marine corps are held up

Weeks ASKS DELAY
FOR CURRENCY BILL
Senator Offers Resolution to
Make Measure Business For
{ December z.

senator Weeks OF Massachusetts, a
member of the Banking and Currency
Committee, introduced in the Senate
today a resolution directing the COM
mittee to bring in a currency bill De-
cember q and instructing the chair
man to move at that time to make the

This resolution Is expected to bring

er there viii be currency legislation

The resolution went over until to-
morrow and Senator Weeks will speak
upon II at that time. 1t Is expected
the resolution will be referred to the
Banking and Currency Committee and
that the vote there win be about even
ly divided. Should two Democrats sup

thirteen votes in the committee.
Administration Against 1t.
The Administration influence win be
thrown against the resolution and every
effort will be made by the President
TO beat II.
Senator Weeks will say in his speech
and said in talking of his resolution
today that In the first place no emer-
gency existed such az required imme-
diste legislation which has not existed
IN an equal degree most OF the time for
the last two years. He said the Govern
ment's cash statement, the circulation
statement and the consolidated bank
statement showed this. He takes the
position that the bankers before the
banking and currency committee are

The Aldrfch-Vreeland bill is stin ia

next July" said Senator Weeks. "If
currency legislation is taken up by the
Senate at the outset OF the regular ses-
time the Aldrich-Vreelsnd act expires.
Senators are worn out and not IN con-
dition to consider the subject fully at
