FAtSEMPORTS
STIR DANIELS
Navy Secretary Says Organ,
lied Campaign Of Frightful-
ness Is Being Conducted.

That an organized campaign by un-
known persons is under way with the OBJ
ject Of spreading false reports concerning
the sinking of American warships was
charged by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
yesterday afternoon.
The object of the campaign. apparently,
is to frighten the nation. and its COM
plexion is that of German frightfulness."
For days the Navy Department has been
swamped with requests for information
concerning the sinking of warships. Prac-
tically every vessel in the navy has been
reported sunk at one time or another
within the last six weeks.
Vessels off the navy list have not been
exempt from this campaign of rumor.
For instance. even the L. S. S. Tennessee
was recently reported sunk. The old
Tennessee, renamed Memphis. foundered
off the Santo DOMINICAN coast more than
six months ago. The new super-Dread-
nought Tennessee had not even been laid
at the time.
Secretary Daniels last evening issued
the following statement:
1T is with deep regret that I note the
daily stream of false reports with regard
to the sinking of American ships. Broker
age wires are a particular source for
these baseless rumors that cannot but
be the cause of needless distress to every
true American as well as to the mothers
and fathers of the nation who have sons
at sea.
THE department has given repeated
assurance that its policy is to be one of
absolute Crankness with respect to dis
aster. II it should be that ships are
sunk. full information will be given out
officially and quickly.
The reason for these false reports
is that the press will refuse to aid this
campaign of vicious rumor that Is being
carried on so industriously by persons
unknown"

HOOVER Scored
in BOTH HOUSES
Congressman Moore and Sen
ator Reed Take Potshots
at Food Dictator.

No easy time has the administration in
putting over" Herbert c. Hoover as
food dictator. In spite Of President Will

pointment and his wish that Congress
sanction the appointment, that body re-
mains as stubborn as the traditional
Democratic mule
In the House. Moore, of Pennsylvania,
tried to block the Hoover appointment
Yesterday by shooting at II from an
angle. In the Senate. Reed, Of Missouri,
said the appointment of a food dictator
would mean despotism instead OF democ-
racy.
Food bills took UP the attention OF both
houses. The Lever measure for a survey
was discussed In the House. and the Gore
bill providing stimulation OF conservation
In the Senate. The debate on both was
not very startling. but in the House
Graham, Of Pennsylvania, succeeded in
Crfppling one section. His successful
amendment stipulated that witnesses
called in food investigation would not
have to travel more than 300 miles from
their homes.
Carl Vrooman, the Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture, was laughed at by the
Republican floor leader, who called
Vrooman this foolish Assistant Secre-
tary." ''Uncle joe Cannon said he
thought the whole scheme Of a food sur
'ey utterly useless.

Moore's potshot at Hoover came when

amendment making IL unlawful for the

tion, which had offered its services e,

is not on to the curves of these people

wise him, for 1t may be that he does not
