SAYS EAGLE BOAT
DESIGN IS FAULTY
H. E. Leroy Also Tells House
Committee Walls of the
Craft Are Weak.

Harry f. Leroy of Saginaw, Mich,
formerly employed as a constructor at
the Ford Detroit boat plant, testified
before the House naval committee to-
day that the Eagle boats built for the
Navy at the plant were seriously
faulty in design and construction lie
said the walls of the craft were weak,
particularly about the engines and
ffreroom. When he reported his OBJ
servations to his employers, he said,
they knew nothing about boat con-
struction. being automobile builders,
but promised to report the criticism to
the Navy Department.
Secretary Daniels, Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief constructor. and Rear
Admirals Griffin and Earle listened to
Leroy's testimony. The three admi-
rails recently testified to the plans
drawn and inspections made by naval
experts, Admiral Taylor saying the
Eagles had conformed to designed
characteristics and were useful both
for war and peace purposes.
