Daniels and Fiske
Decline to Discuss

WASHINGTON, April 4--Both secre-
tary Daniels and Rear Admiral Brad
ley A. Fiske. aide for operations. de-
clined to discuss the latter's request to be
relieved of duty as senior military ad-
wiser in the Navy department.
The secretary said he had not deter
mined what assignment he would give
to Rear Admiral Fiske NOR had he Sc
lected the chief OF naval operations, a
position recently created by congress.
In naval circles. the request of Ad-
miral Fiske TO be relieved as aide for
operations. was the chief topic OF in
terest. The fact that the admiral had
differed from the views of Secretary
Daniels in the recent hearings before
congress on the preparedness against the
American navy for war, was generally
ascribed as tho reason for his voluntary
withdrawal. His written communication
to the secretary gave no reason for his
request.
Real Admiral Fiske's place will not be
filled as Secretary Daniels intends q
appoint the new chief OF navy oper-
ations within the present month.
