ADMIRAL FULLAM'S LETTER
TO THE BALTIMORE SUN.
Declares the Probe Shall Go to the
Very Bottom.

Writing to the Baltimore Sun the
Superintendent of the Naval Acad-
emy has the following to say:
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: I
note an editorial in your columns of
June 10 concerning the "gouging
inquiry at this station, which, unin-
tentionally. no doubt, does great injus-
tice to me and to the officers on duty at
the Naval Academy.
Neither myself nor the officers re-
sent or resist probe, but, on the con.
teary. we wish the probe to 90 to the
very bottom. because we have been
placed in a false position by some of
the press reports Of the proceedings /;
and your editorial, regret to say,
preJudices the case against US or
against me-before the evidence is all
in. We resent nothing except the
charge or insinuation that We have
neglected our duty, and the tendency
to make US the scapegoats."
You are quite right, Mr.. Editor, in
saying that he % would surely rath-
er have an error corrected than TO be
a party to injustice and discrimina-
tion. But IL is very serious injus-
tice to even insinuate that I have Sc
lected "scapegoats. and wish to pro-
tect anybody. If anybody is pro-
tected, 1T WILL NOT BE BY Me-
OF course. there are different degrees
of guilt in all crimes, and a different
punishment for each degree-is there
not?
OF course, Mr.. Editor, an editorial
attracts more attention than a mere
letter like this; and in asking you to
publish this statement realize that IL
may not undo the injustice that
feel you have done me and the
officers under my command.
Very truly yours.
