Admiral's Criticism ''Not Worth
Bothering About" Says
Assistant Secretary

WASHINGTON, July 16-Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt an
nounced to-day that Rear Admiral
Benton c. Decker's recent attack on
Secretary Daniels and himself proba-
bly, would be passed over as mot worth
bothering about" and no disciplinary
action taken.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that both Ad-
miral Coontz, chief of the Bureau of
Operations, and Admiral Washington,
chief Of the Bureau of Navigation. had
recommended to Secretary Daniels that
Admiral Decker be detached from duty
at once. The Assistant Secretary said
that he and Mr.. Daniels agreed at a
conference in San Francisco that it
would be best to permit Admiral Deck
er's charges to pass dnnoticed.
eve felt that the entire service
knew Admiral Decker" Mr.. Roosevelt
said, "and chat nothing would be gained
by making martyr of him. The matter
probably will be be overlooked as not
worth bothering about, although it is, of
course, direct violation of regula-
tons"
Admiral Decker in recently published
letters to Chairman Hale of the SEN
ate naval investigating committee,
charged Secretary Daniels with having
deliberately and Intentionally" misrep-
resented certain facts in his testimony
before the committee. He also alleged
that Assistant Secretary Roosevelt had
introduced the element of political ex-
pediency into the naval administration
and was sacrificing the good Of the
navy to such ends.
