Of DANIELS
SCORED BY CAPTAIN
Lanning Says Navy Department
Head Was Responsible for
Delays During War.
by J. BART CAMPBELL,
International News Service.

Secretary Daniels was charged to
day by Captain Horace Lanning, u
S. N. with personal responsibility foI
from which the United States Navy
was said to have suffered during the
early months of Americas participa-
tion in the World War.
Lanning's charge was made before
the subcommittee of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee Investigating the
conduct of the Navy Department and
the Navy during the war.
Lanning, who served as assistant
chief of naval operations, declared
ut was the personal characteristics
of the Secretary of the Navy that
often made it impossible to get ap-
proval of the really important pol
icies" determined upon by old and
experienced naval officers.
VIII Call Daniels.
Daniels will be called later to an
swer the charges of Rear Admiral
Sims, who completed his testimony
day followed Sims to the stand, SEN
ator Hale. Republican, Maine, chair
man of the subcommittee, said.
whenever a plan or a policy was
presented to the Secretary he almost
invariably delayed action on it," Lam
ming testified.
"The personal interest taken by him
in all matters connected with the de-
partment absorbed so much of his
time that he never had much left to
give to us on the more important af-
fairs. Therefore, when we would pre-
sent something important. even
though it might be urgent, we could
secure only a few minutes to dis
cuss it,
1--WE kould generally be directed to
leave the paper with him for consid-
Grafton. Now it is remarkable but
true that papers left for 'considera-
ton were for the most part not heard
of again until the officer who pre-
sented the paper hunted it out. Fre-
quently when it was followed up the
paper could not be found If it was
found, there would usually be some
reason for not approving 1t or Of
further delaying action.
"Dropped Authority
1--WE always considered it much
easier to get up sound plan or
policy than it was to get permission
or authority to carry IL out. 1t gem
orally took longer to get approval
when we succeeded in getting 1t all
than IT did to formulate the plan or
policy. This condition finally became
so bad that officers used every means
possible to put their plans and policies
through without obtaining the re-
quired authority"
Captain Lannnig. who Is now chief
OF staff of the navy's destroyer 40
tilla, supported Admiral Sims charges
of maladministration of the Navy De-
partment.
From my knowledge of the navy
and from information gained through
personal contact with the Navy De-
partment," Lanning declared, "I am
convinced that since the starting Of
the world war the department has
not administered the navy as II
should have, and as a result the navy
was not properly ready for war when
we entered 1t, and the navy did not
carry on It's part in the war In the
early days as efficiently as 1t could or
should have been carried on"
Lanning said that in laying before
the subcommittee what he believed

The "Big Four" railroad brother

A proposal submitted by repre-

should be a general pooling Of cam
paign funds was rejected by the
executives Of the brotherhoods in a

Each brotherhood will direct its

of the brotherhood executives today.

There was denial today of reports

fusal to invite the organizations in
the National Farmers Council to the
December 13 labor conference, and OBJ
jections of the brotherhoods to GER

thing to do with the brotherhoods
decision to got 1t alone
1t Is not denied however that the
railroad unions in the Federation
as well as the brotherhoods are still
dissatisfied with Gompers' attitude
on the Plumb plan.
The railroad unions and the broth
erhoods have annunced their inten-
ton to make the question of Demo-
cratic control of the railroads their
biggest issue in the campaign. They
propes to push legislation in the
next Congress to take the railroads
them under the control of a direc-
torate in which the public and work
ers would share representation with

notwithstanding pressure brought
by the railroad unions, the executive
