Take Induction Oath at
AnnapOlis Graduation

Annapolis, Md, June 3.-(P}-Mid-
shipman E. B. Zirkle of Garden City,
Kans.. today refused to take the oath
of induction into the United States
navy upon graduation with his class
from the naval academy here. Sec
rotary of the Navy Wilbur, who had
delivered an address to the gradu-
ating midshipmen. and to whom the
case was referred, ordered the young
man assigned to a station aboard
the battleship New York which
leaves on a coastal cruise tomorrow.
The case was the first Of its kind
ever reported at the academy, Ad-
miral Louis NJ. Mutton, commander
Of the midshipmen, said tonight. Aft
er the class of 446 had received d.
piOmas, they were marched to the
commandments Office to be sworn in
to the naval service as ensigns and
lieutenants. Midshipman Zirkle then
announced that he would not take
the oath because he did not wish to
continue in the service and felt that
he wished to do something else"
A ruling of the naval department,
now in force, requires that a mid
shipman serve two years in the serv-
ice after graduation before his resig-
nation may be considered. The young
man has been attempting to resign
for several months, Admiral Mutton
said. although his ranking in con-
duct and as a student has been high
Admiral Mutton added that the
young man was assigned to a ship
with the, rest of his mates to give
him a chance to see at close range
the navy life for which the youth
believed himself untitled. The re-
mainder of the graduates accepted
their commissions.
