ADOPT GALLIVAN RESOLUTION
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Jan 13. - The
movement for congressional investi-
cation into awards of army war dec
orations produced a stormy scene
in the house Tuesday during which
q resolution by Rep. Gallivan. dem
ocrat. OF Massachusetts,, calling on
Secretary Baker for a report on the
awards was adopted
The fight centered largely about
Mr.. Gallivan's attack on Gen.
March, chief of staff, and other Off
GERS assigned to duty in Washington
during the war.
THE house ought not to acquiesce
in the attack on Gen. March and 9TH
er officers of the army" declared
Rep. Moore, democrat, of Virginia,
concluding the debate with an ap-
Zeal for rejection Of the resolution,
which on a roll call was adopted
1S3 to 123. Most of the democrats
opposed IT,
Lounge Lizards.
Rep. Gallivan urged the adoption
Of his measure as the start of the
general congressional investigation
into the award of war honors de-
claring that proportionately more Of
hcers in Washington received dis
tinguished service medals than those
in the front lines. The services of
all lounge lizards Of the second ar
my on the Potomac" were recog-
nized with decorations, Gallivan
charged. including former chiefs of
staff, who he said, were removed
for inetticiency
Attacks March.
Gen. March was referred to by Cal
Ivan as the high priest of Prus-
sianism," and the imam for whom
no officer ever speaks a word ex-
cept contempt" adding that his ci-
tation for the distinguished service
medal would have been written only
under orders" Several other mem
hers lauded the chief Of staff for his
fairness and efficiency, declaring he
was entitled to any honors con-
ferred on him. They also accused
Gallivan of unfairness in attacking
officers who could not reply.
Many army officers who never
heard a shot We're given medals
while scores Of heroes in the A. T. r.
have not been rewarded, Gallivan
claimed. adding that the distin-
guished service medal as a result is
now known as the desk service
