The subtlety and studied character
of this betrayal Of the Navy to the in.

Doctor Grayson. He entered the serv.
ice In 1904, and after twelve years Of
duty, Of which perhaps the most ardu.
GUS part has been carrying the White
House shawl strap. he is promoted TO
the rank Of rear-admiral, with all the

WASHINGTON, January 3O--The
senate committee on naval affairs to-
day ordered favorable report on the
nomination of DR.. Cary Grayson AS
rear admiral. A fight on the floor of
the senate is indicated.
"Pfesident Wilson'S effort 70 have
Doctor Grayson, his youthful golf part
ner and physician, confirmed as med
zeal director of the Navy, with the
rank Of rear.admiral, will be attacked
in the senate as Illegal. IL is con
tended that 1t is directly in violation
of sections of the Revised Statutes Of
the Navy. ~ say
NAVAL officers pointed TO statute
1906, which says: Any officer Of the
Navy may, by and with the advice and
consent of the senate, be advanced not
exceeding thirty numbers in rank for
eminent and conspicuous Conduct IN
battle or extraordinary beroism.
Hence, they say, legally thirty numbers
are the maximum of advancement
which the nation can bestow as a re-
ward for the greatest possible service.
Doctor Grayson is being advanced I y
numbers.
Nevertheless IL is believed President
Wilson will insist on the promotion ~
yGrayson. When the Senate Committee
ON Naval Affairs meets in its next regu-
lar session on Tuesday tbs nomination
Of Grayson to be a medical director IN
the Navy, with the rank of Rear.Ad.
miral, will be called up for action. At
the same time the COMMITTEES will have
before II the nomination of other stan
officers of the Navy whom President
Wilson seeks to promote TO the newly
created rank of Rear-Admiral in the
Several corps to which they belong.
Strong opposition to the confirmation
of Doctor Grayson, physician to Presi.
dent Wilson, 10 be rear-admiral, de-
yeloped several days ago among mem
bers of the senate. This opposition was
not confined 10 party lines although Q
request for holding up the confirmation
Is reported to have come from the Re
publican ranks. 1t is believed the op
position win not be strong enough tC
prevent confirmation, although 1t wa:

the appointment might be held up un
