Washington, Jan. lG.-ARear Admiral
William 5, Sims, whose letter to Sec.
retary Daniels recently declining the
distinguished service medal awarded
him, precipitated the controversy over
the award Of naval war time honors,
was the first witness on the list of
those to appear before the senate
subcommittee today according to an
announcement by Chairman Hale. 1t
was expected Rear Admiral Sims tes.
tlmony would take at least two days
and would include resume OF the
entire subject Of the naval conduct
of the war.
Opening the hearing, Chairman Hale
said the purpose of the committee :
investigation was as follows:
"To throw the full night of publicity
on any persons or person responsible
for lowering the value of naval war
time decorations to the recipients and
those lowering the morale of the navy
by allowing friendship or politics tc
influence such awards and to obtair
full vindlcation Of any persons whc
might have been placed In falls,
light before the public rs the resul
of recent charges"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-01-16
HEA RING ON NAVAL
DECORATIONS OPENS

Washington, Jan. 16.--Declaring the
greatest handicap of the American
navy was the lack of constructive
criticism and the fact that naval
officers were refused permission to
publish any matter without first sub
hitting it to the navy department.
Rear Admiral Sims today told the sen
ate committee investigating naval
decorations, that his criticism OF the
circumstances of some Of the awards
was plain duty.
1t did not involve INSTRUMENTATION, us
some newspapers had seemed to as.
sumo, he said, nor was there any
intention to make personal attack
on the secretary.
Admiral Sims said he had received
a reply to his letter TO MIR. Daniels
critcising the methods Of making the
naval awards; that the reply was per.
sonal and simply said no final action
on the awards had been made.
Admiral Sims then read prepared
statement in which he said that in
probably the nearly unanimous opin.
ion of officers Of the navy" certain
mistakes were made in the awards
which involved not only the question
Of justice, but the morale Of the
fighting force.
Assuming the existence of these
convictions on the part of the naval
officers Admiral Sims continued, 1T
is apparent that it is the duty of
the officers that advisablity of
whose decorations is in question. Of.
iicially to present their criticisms and
suggestions i'll accordance with the
authorization prescribed for such cases
by the regulation issued By the navy
department.
our navy lacks constructive crit.
icism from the public and necessarily
so because our naval officers are for.
bldden to publish anything without the
permission of, and usually censorship
by the department. This is, to say
the least, Il singular regulation TO be
enforced in democratic form of
government; and the inevitable result
is that the American public know less
about naval matters than the public
Of any other considerable maritime
power, because the officers Of the
latter are permitted under certain
regulations, when not on duty, to
