REPORTS U. S. FLEET
MECHANICALLY Is
NOT SATISFACTORY
Poor Condition is Handicap to
Navy Personnel, Says
Admiral.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE
mechanical condition OF Americas
feet has undergone little improve
rnent since the termination of the
war and the engineer performance
OF the individual ships has not
been satisfactory" Rear Admiral
Griffin, chief OF the bureau OF en-
cheering says in his annual report.
The navy personnel, however. is
commended by the admiral for hav-
irg successfully grappled with this
situation with at least no retro
grade movement" Admiral Griffin
adds. however. that the operation
OF the ships with respect TO their
mechanical workings is not BY any
means what is desired although IL
has been better than was reason
ably 90 be expected" under the con-
ditions.
Admiral Griffin attributed the
troubles Of engineering staff mainly
TO an inadequacy of operating per-
sornel. but explains that the influx
Of raw recruits coupled with the
constant addition OF new vessels TO
the navy list has increased the
problems. The lack of men reacted
on the engineering bureau in two
ways, the admiral says.
Repair Jobs Increased.
The number OF repair jobs usual
/ t. classed as navy-yard work was
greatly increased due TO the de-
creased skill in operation while the
yards were. in addition. called upon
to perform much work which or
dinarily would be accomplished by
the forces of individual ships. The
| appro oriations for the upkeep of
tho feet were, in many cases, there
! fore. used for the performance of
work ordinarily done by enlisted
men. The unusual demand served
! to reduce funds available for major
/ re pair work.
In addition TO the extra cost
caused by the personnel situation.
\ the admiral says a number OF other
/ facts combined to increase the diff
! ficLlties with which the bureau was
! confronted. There was a large
amount of upkeep work. left over
/ from the wartime operation, the re-
port says, and with this came close
! " pared appropriations I'm the face
! of increased labor and material

The navy pay scale also has
served to reduce the number OF
skilled and technical employees who
were able 10 obtain higher wages
elsewhere. The situation. che ad-
miral declares. is one which would
