Scarcely Has Any Local Dis

| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
| WASHINGTON, March 22.-Break-
/ ing all previous records, the present

I Investigations covering almost as many
: subjects, according to compilations to-
day.
I These range from profiteering in

This congress is also breaking the
previous record for bills and resolu-
tions introduced, having 1S,177 to it's
credit with only half of its time gone.

tivities of Henry Ford. alleged discriin-
ination against individual hackmen in
the District aof Columbia and the
question of office rooms for senators. -
Scores of resolutions have been intro
duced and many adopted for investi-
cation of almost every executive de-
partment and prominent administra-
ton official. Scarcely and local dis
turbance of consequence in any quar-
ter of the coutry escapes having a res
olution of investigation introduced.
Forest fires in Minnesota, race riots in
southern cities, the coal and steel
strikes all prompted resolutions.
The list of subjects covered by reso-
luton offered in this congress in
icludes: Substitute for railroad cross
ties. coal prices, socialistic activities
in the federal trade commission. su-
gar profiteering, propaganda to influ-
ence railroad legislation, troops in
Russia. peace treaty leak, Mexican af-
fairs, activities of soviet agents in the

lofficers secured home duty" assign
ments during the war, income tax
dodSing. publicity bureaus of govern
ment denartments. Influenza. malaria.
and conditions in the Virgin Islands.

When Chairman Insists, Inves-

Who Said "Don't Let Eng

ADMIRAL RELUCTANTLY
TELLS OF INSTRUCTIONS
Intense Opposition Through
Personal Prejudice and Re-
petition of Statement in
Paris and London Charged.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-It was
Admiral Benson who warned Admiral
Sims do not let the British pull the
wool over your eyes" Sims declared
at the senate naval inquiry today.
Sims said, II have always consider
ed Benson a perfectly honest fair.
square and highminded gentleman,
but any man intensely anti-British or
anti-F'rench will always be held by
those sentiments
Senator Pittman attempted to show
that Sims had given to the press his
Letter in January which contained SEN
sational charges against the navy de-
partment. Sims admitted 'the con
tents of his letter might have leaked
through the navy department but de-
MED any connection with the leak.
Benson at that time was chief of
naval operations. Sims told the COM
mittee. The instructions were given
just before Sims sailed for Europe
several weeks before the United States
entered the war.
Sims was reluctant to mention the
name of the officer giging him in
structions but it was demanded by
Chairman Hale.
Sims said Benson was INTENSELY
''anti- British" and repeated his state
ments on two subsequent occasions in
Paris and London. Il regarded this
as a personal prejudice on the part
of Admiral Benson.
