that he could not return to his pos

Mr.. Fletcher's resignation was not
hastily determined upon and, in fact,
last summer he sought to terminate

C0N35RE SS5lNAIN SAYS
u S. ADMIRAL MADE
FALSE STATEMENTS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Rear Ad-
miral Sims. leading figure in the
naval decorations controversy and
in the pending senate investigation
of the navys conduct of the war,
was vigorously attacked Tuesday in
the house by Representative Byrnes,
Democrat, South Carolina.
Declaring if the admiral was adj
monished by a high naval official not
to lot cre British pull the WOOL
over his eyes, as he testified recent
ly before the senate naval decora-
tions committee. he violated con-
fidence in making the instructions
public, Representative Byrns said he
deserved the condemnation of every
American and a dishonorable dis
charge from the navy"
Characterizing Admiral Sims as a
"hyphenated politician" Mr.. Byrnes
charged that when serving as com
mander of American naval forces in
European waters during the war he
had "libelled the army and depreciat-
ed the work of the navy" and had
urged that the United States leave
the control of the seas to Great
Britain
"He not only 1ibelled the army, but
he deprecated the work of the navy
continued Mr.. Brynes. who read a
copy of the London Times, quoting
speech of Admiral Sims, giving
credit to the British for transport
| ing and conveying twice as many
American troops and merchant ships
| to Europe during the war as did
| the American navy and declaring
| that only per cent of the anti
submarine craft in European waters
were American.
"This speech Representative
Brynes continued. was false from
beginning to end Sims was so busy
! fighting the war over the dining ia
| bIes of London that he did not know
how many vessels he had under his
| command.
His statement that we had trans
! ported only one-third of our troops
was false.
| His statement that we had escort
| ed but one-half Of our troops was
! equally false.
His statement that we escorted
only one-third of the merchant YES
! sells that come here is false.
The declaration of Nh. Byrnes thar
| Admiral Sims deserved a dishonor-
! able discharge was greeted by APP
| bIause and cheers from the Demo
cratic side in which several Repuo-
| leans Joined.
! Democratic members frequently
! fn+erruDtnd Representative Byrnes
with applause and when he conclud-
ed they arose cheering and clapping
| their hands.
Representative Hustled, Republi
can, New York, referring to Mr..
Byrnes' assertion that Sims possibly
| should be "dishonorably discharged
from the navy, asked whether the
officer who admonished him mot to
let the British pull the wool over
his eyes" ought not be removed, but
the Democratic member said the ad-
monition was justified in view OF
Admiral Sims ''pro-British atti-
| tude."
He added that the admiraIs dis
closure might "endanger the peace
of the country" Representative
Hicks, Republican, New York, re-
marked that it undoubtedly had dis
