DANIELS OUTLINES
GREATER NAVY PLAN
Tells Committee Personnel
Should Be Brought Up
to 67,952
SAYS OFFICERS GIVE
ONLY PERSONAL VIEWS
By The United Press.

by The United Press.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Chair-
man Padgett, Of the House naval COM
mittee, STAYED off today, for time at
least, long anticipated hecking OF
Secretary of the Navy Daniels by big
navy members of the committee.
Daniels was allowed TO tell in peace
his plans to increase in the navy per.
sonnel by 14,152 men. and to warn the
committee against giving too much
heed to recommendation of individual
officers who have not agreed with ths
general board
Today, tomorrow and Monday will
be the last days for hearings, Padgeti
explained, in announcing that the sec
retary should not be interrupted until
he had completed his statement. He
promised that when Daniels had fn-
ished. the time for asking questions
would be divided fairly among the
members.
HAS there been any demand for
that time?' Britten of Illinois. asked.
He wishes considerable for himself, II
was explained.
Il recommend to the committed"
said Daniels. that 1900 enlisted men,
$500 apprentice seamen, 2152 hos
pital corps men and 1000 marines be
added to the navy. This would make
14,150 additional men. bringing the
total personnel of the navy to 1859.
"The general board last July rec
mended 1000 additional men. In
November the board recommended an
increase of $4,000 men. When l made
this estimate for 14152 men last Oc-
tober | had only the July recommen-
dation before me.
81 want to advise the committee
, the officers Of the navy who have tes-
titled here have given only their per-
sOnal views. Some of them have fig
ured on the basis of every ship in the
navy being in constant commission.
This is not in accordance with the
| policy of the navy. When ship goes
to the navy yard. they contend. it
should maintain its full quota OF men.
To this ! have two objections; FIRST. TO
have such a large force on the ship
with only a few duties to perform
would be highly demoralizing; sec
ond, they should be put on an active
vessel so their training would not
relax. For these reasons the depart
ment has adopted the policy Of having
only 40 per cent. Of the crew on a
vessel in the navy yard.
i Former Secretary Won Meyer left
y only 33 per cent of the men on ships
not in active commission"
I Daniels cited figures to show how
different it was to keep up the enlist.
ed strength of the navy. He said five
out of every six applicants are reject.
ed. The enlistments of 1855 men
on the average, expire every year.
Eve have been very liberal lately
in permitting the purchase Of dis.
charges" said Daniels. "In 1913 15,-
$50 men left service; in 1914, 1921,
and in 1915 there were 17,117. Many
of these men are not entitled to re.
enlistment and the average wastage
of men is 5000 a year. Up to three
years ago the percentage of wastage
was 54; last year it was 75 To in.
crease the navy $4,000 men next year
we would have to enlist $4,000 new
men in addition to the re-enlistments.
This would mean examination Of ap.
proximately 100000 applicants.
