S|MMS D|SCLAIMS
ANY INTENTION
OF Personal Reflection Against
Secretary Daniels Claims
Commanding Officers
SHOULD CONFER AWARDS

Washington D. c., Jan. 16.-While
disclaiming any thought of making
a personal attack on Secretary Dan
iels,, Rear Admiral William S. Simms
told the senate subcommittee invs-
tigating naval war decorations to-
day that morale of the service of
the service had been "knockd to
pieces" as a result of methods fol
lowed in making awards.
The underlying cause of :" the
whole unfortunate affair."" Admiral
Sims assorted, was failure of Mr..
Daniels to formulate a definite policy
to govern awards in his instructions
to the Knight Medal Board. Grave
injustice has been done many Off
GERS because of this, he added.
Admiral Sims, who, during the
war commanded American for6eA
in foreign waters, said constructive
criticism was part of his duty to the
service, and his recent letter, as well
as his testimony was not to be con-
SCrued OCnerW1Ses-- He argued Tor
withdrawal of department regula-
tions requiring officers not to publish
critical articles without specific sane
tion as in the best interests of the
service. In connection with his opig-
inal letter refusing a distinguished
service medal pending action by the
secretary on his plea for reconsidera-
ton of his recommendations as to
awards he said Mr. Daniels had
written him that no final action had
been taken.
Admiral Sims vigorously affirmed
the position taken in his letter that
only commanding officers were com
petent to pass on the relative value
of service performed by officer under
them.

''The Oasis" has taken issue with Mr.. Curtis

the tender hide of Mr.. Titcomb too as shown up by
the fact that his courtesy of wholesale prices" on
goods sold the town of Nogales by Roy & Titcomb
was quite per cent higher than the retail prices of
other dealers in the commodities but it is right
that the public should know these things when Mr.
Curtis and Mr. Titcomb are active in support of a
municipal ticket that they aimed to get elected.
Suppression of these facts hurt town more than
