cret report on the material and per-
sonnel condition Of the U. 8. navy
was submitted to the house naval
affairs committee by Assistant Sec
retary Of the Navy Robinson undvf
iron clad injunctions OF confidence.
The report said to disclose serious
weakness in the nation s first line
of defense, was prepared last Au-
gust by Rear Admiral Robert f.
Coontz, fleet commander, and, was
called for by Representative Thorn
as Butler, chairman Of the commit
tee.
An inquiry into the entire navy
may follow perusal Of the document
by Butler, into whose sole keeping il
was given by Robinson. who made
the remarkable request that for the
present other members be denied se-
css to it.
Fleet Deterioration ------.~.
Butler said today he had received
information of deterioration in the
fleet and felt that the committee
had the right to know the truth.
81 have heard the fleet needs
attention. said Butler. 81 under

Wanted Doors Locked
81 want to lock the doors and
have the committee 60 through the

Accompanying the Coontz report,
was a report made later on the re-
suits of the Australian maneuvers.
Robinson showed great reluctance
in relinquishing possession and left
his seat at the committee table to
instruct the committee clerk to
lock reports in the safe.

adding, however, that it might. be
"inexpedient - to make them public
for year or more, Asked why

the practice of the navy department.
In other years. however, similar
documents have been given out for
publication long before this.
Conflicting Reports
Various members of the commit
tee have expressed dissatisfsction
with conditions in the department.

reports on fleet and department
conditions have been forwarded TO

MITCHELL SILENT TODAY
ON COUNSEL'S ADVICE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. On
the advice of his counsel and friends,
Colonel William Mitchell today re-
mained silent in the face of Presi-
dent Coolidge's approval of his con-
viction and five year suspension
from the army, to await develop
ments.
The award by the President of
half pay during the period of sus-
pension, his only modification of the
sentence which cut off all Mitchell 8
pay, has raised a new issue in that
it may be drawn only "during the
pleasure of the President.
Denounces Ruling
Mitchell's counsel, Representative
Frank r. Reed. has denounced this
string on Mitchell's pay as Gun
American" and there are indica-
tiOns that Mitchell considers it a
tether rope to keep him "on the
reservation if he chooses to re-
main in the army.
Accordingly, resignation from the
army which Mitchell firmly intend
ed to go ahead with as soon as his
sentence was approved, is temporar-
lily held up.
He finally decided today, how
ever, whether he will put "the
Presidents pleasure' to a test.
Friends Plan Action
The opportunity awaits him in the
hearings of the house military COM
mittee, before which he has been
invited to testify this week. If he
appears before the committee and
rciterates all his well known charges
and criticism which the President
has declared unfounded, real
issue will be raised.
Meanwhile, some of his congress
sional friends probably will intro
duce bills in congress to set aside
the verdict and promote him to be
a brigadier general.

killing tactics yesterday, an agree
ment was sought today to determine
what should be taken up and how.
When finally worked out, it was
so involved as to be incomprehens-
ible and Senator Reed Missouri,

traryf to the constitution and to the
rules iof the, senate.'' ~, q
Senator Heflin, Alabama, Demo-
crat, started debate with an anti
war speech, having no particular
reference to the reservation before
the senate, quoting from Kipling
and Tennyson.
Rumors About Klan
An undercurrent of speculation as
to the result of strong khan oppo-
sition to the court proposal was not
ed today, following word received
by senators elected with khan sup
port that it will consider vote for
the court as breach of faith with
the organization.
..4At the white house it was said
the President has no objections to
the new Swanson proposal and reso-
lutions or to- the use of cloture to
further the project.
Will Demand Time
Senator James Reed, Democrat,
Missouri, has served notice, how.
ever, that he will demand every min
ute time allowed the irreconcilables
under the cloture rule to argue their
case.
Meanwhile, khan opposition to the
court made itself felt in the struggle
