GEN. cRozIER BEFORE PRoBERs

Washington, July Brig. Gen.
Crozier, former chief of the ordnaace
Bureau, appearing today before the
special house investigating commit
tee to explain why his department
was so unprepared when war came,
declared he had repeatedly recon-
mended extensions before the war,
but without success. After the ma
tional defense act was passed, he
said, he submitted a request to the
secretary of war for large person.
mel and for authorization to contract
for ordnance, but the request was
not acted upon.
"When war was declared" he con-
tinued, "the army had six hundred
machine guns-a ridiculously small
number; 500 field artillery pieces, a
wholly inadequate supply of artillery
ammunition and other supplies in the
same insufficient amounts. Orders
had been paced for the various things
needed, but deliveries had not start
ed"
Fortunately he added, the army
had 100000 Springfield rifles, enough
to equip an army of 100000 men,
and 200, 100000 rounds of rifle am
munition.
