COURT MARTIAL Law
OK, DANIELS VIEW
Holds Rulings Are Usually Just,
Though He Disapproved in
Two Cases.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels. de-
spite tho fact he has disapproved two
Important court-martial findings In the
last week, said today no did not con-
slider that changes In the law or regu-
iations governing court-martial pro-
cedurc were needed. He does not cx-
pect to take steps to secure such
changes.
II believe that as a rule officers who
sit In n court-martial are fair and I'm
partial. Not only do they try to be
strictly Just. but sometimes they are
very hard. As rule, they insist on
the full and strict performance OF
duty. OF course. human nature Is hui
man nature. and II an officer knows
that the person under charges Is a
good fellow. he is likely to be az
edge"
Secretary Daniels was asked. In view
Of his refusal 10 approve the findings
OF the courts In the Rear Admiral Lit
tie case and in the case of the San
Diego explosion. whether he believed
there was warrant for allegations some
times made that officers wero unduly
lenient toward their brethren.
secretary Daniels said he did not be-
neye such a view was warranted.
He added that the Little case. In
volving the accusation of negligence In
the inspection Of q submarine, and the
San Diego explosion case were very i'm
portnnt and he felt that under the cir
CumstanCes II was necessary to dis
approve the findings.

When the House office building was

discussion as to whether or not the
offices in the building would be dis

that the new building could rest di-
rectly on the tunnel without endan-

After these facts had been brought
