ing to have Congress authorize q special
investigation In the state OF the national
defenses. last night made public letter
he has written to Secretary of War Gar
rison. asking the Secretary whether he
would voluntarily permit army officers
to testify before the Rules Committee Of
the House as to the adyisability OF such
an investigation.
Mr.. Gardner's resolution authorizing
such an investigation is pending before
the Rules Committee, which has indi-
Gated that a hearing on the proposition
will be granted early in December. At
this hearing it will be the task OF Mr..
Gardner to prove that the defenses need
an investigation.
Secretary Garrison has heretofore in
dicRted informally that any information
regarding the War Department or the
army is at the disposal of Congress for
the asking. but that he will not suggest
to army officers that they volunteer
themselves as witnesses. He holds that
the relations between the army and Con-
gress should be maintained through the
Secretary OF War, who is responsible for
the execution OF such military policies
as Congress adopts, and that army Of
fcers as individuals should not OF their
own accord appear before Congressional
committees to discuss matters Of mill
tary policy.
