 CRITICISM IS
 GREATEST LACK
Admiral Sims Regards His Attitude on Awards As
 His Plain Duty.

Washington, Jan. 16.---Declaring that the greatest handicap of the American navy was the lack of con- naval officers were refused permission to publish any matter without first submitting it to the navy department. Rear Admiral Sims today told the Senate committee Investigating naval decorations that his criticism of the circumstances of some of the awards was plain duty.
 It did not involve nsubordination, as some newspapers had seemed to assume,' he said, nor was there any intention to make a personal attack on the secretary.
 Before Admiral Sims took the stand controversy developed between Chairman Hale and Senator Pittman Democrat, Nevada, because Admiral Sims had been called as the first wit ness. Senator Pittman said that since Secretary Daniels was responsible for the awards and was "the man who is virtually on trial here," he should be heard first.
 Chairman Hale said it had been deemed best to call first Admiral Sims, who made the principal charges and that MT. Daniels would be giver an opportunity to be heard later. Sen ator Pittman insisted on his position and moved that MT. Daniels be call ed, but his motion was defeated ant the committee proceeded with the hearing of Admiral Sims.
 On taking the stand Admiral Sim. said he had received a reply to hi letter to MT. Daniels criticizing ths methods of making the naval awards the reply was personal and simply ! said no final action on the award: | had been made.
