HISTORY DISGRACEFUL, SAYS ADMIRAL SIMS
Military Record Of United States
 Characterized As Appalling

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-The military history of the United states was characterized as "disgraceful" and appalling" by Rear Admiral William $. Sims, in an address today before the Commonwealth club here Unnecessary sacrifices of blood and treasure as the result of unprepared- ness form record of which America cannot be proud, he said.
 In introducing the admiral, .Dr William F. Cheney said: "once he was called upon to play the part Of lying in the Daniels den, but at all times he has been true to the inter ests of his country"
 Admiral Sims said there was great need for submarines and airplanes as a first line of national defense. He criticised the navy department se- verely for it's conduct in the last war.
 Speaking later before the English Speaking Union, the admiral launched klan. political farm blocs and Sim Feiners.
 The Ku K1ux Klan is the most pernicious. most cowardly bloc Ad- miral Sims said. Ut assumes the right to be judge. Jury and execu- tioner. It's methods enables bands Of criminals to commit murder with comparative impunity behind masks.
 But even such an organization or anyone attempting minority rule is less dangerous" the admiral contin- ned. than one that systematically poisons the minds of young men and ignorant voters with hatred of friendly country"

THIRTY-THREE ALIENS ADMITTED CITIZENSHIP
Petitions Of 37 Others Continued
 For Various Reasons

When petitions for naturalization papers were heard Friday morning before Judge W. I. Grubb of the United States district court, B of the 70 who had applied were accepted, while a large number of the petitions were continued for various reasons. Out Of the number which were not accepted three petitions were denied because petitioners claimed cxemp- tion during the late World war.
 The petitioners included persons Of various nationalities, and prior to the time the oath of allegiance to the American flag was taken Judge Grubb impressed upon the mon that their naturalization does not make their wives American citizens. Women are now required to seek naturaliza- tion-. papers separately. as must all children over T years of age.
 A number Of tine petitions were continued on account of the lack of Knowledge of the United States gov ernment. lack of witnesses to appear in court. while there were still others who requested that their petitions be continued.
 The naturalization examinations were conducted by ]. o. Hendry of New Orleans, naturalization exami- ner. According to Mir. Hendry, the night schools where aliens are trained in civics and history of the United States. is largely responsible for the acceptance of the large number Of foreigners.
