Criticises Secretary Daniels.

Every naval officer we have talked
to has said he hoped to God he would
not be assigned to armor making, for
he could not do it," continued MI.
Bar
Mr.. Barba criticised Secretary Dan
ielS for not replying to the company $
letter to him which he had requested.
stating the company would manufac-
ture armor for the proposed new
building plan at S402 Il ton. He said the
Secretary would not accept the com
pany's offer to submit to him details

cause it would defeat his purposes to

DENIES THAT THE NAVY
CAN MAKE FIT ARM0R
Midvale Official Tells Committee
Company Will Quit Certain
U. S. Contracts.

Denial that the Navy Department can
manufacture armor successfully was
entered today before the House naval
committee by W. +. Barba. vice presl-
dent of the Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Company of Philadelphia. AS an illus
tration of this. he declared that his
company. in an endeavor, with all ITS
knowledge of steel, to make armor-
piercing projectiles for the navy had
lost 100000 in the attempt. And
when we deliver to the navy set of
projectiles we are through for all time
with making projectiles for the navy
