at the time the United States en-
tered the war, Captain Harris Lam
ing, assistant chief of the bureau
of navigation during the war, tes-
tilted today before the senate in
vestigating committee. Captain Ian

a plan of action submitted by the bu-
reau of operations had been disapproyed
and that the "personal characteristics
of the secretary of the navy often made
it impossible to get approval of really
important policies. -
The American navy not only was not
prepared when the United States en-
tered the war, but it did not "carry
on" in the early days "as efficiently
as it could and should have" Captain
Laning testified.
Whenever a plan or policy was pre-
sented to the secretary he almost in
variably delayed action On it, Captain
Laning declared. "The personal inter
est he took in all matters connected
with the department absorbed so mucl
of his time that he never had much lef
