He Was Furnished

STAMFORD, Conn, Sept. g.
Four American rear admirals were
among the naval officers who be-
sought him to work against reduc-
ton VI the naval ornaments of the
United States, William B. Shearer
said here in celebrating on his
propaganda campaign for parity in
sea power.
The admirals, Shearer said, were
Samuel S. Robinson, now superin-
tendent of the naval academy at
Annapolis; Charles P. Plunkett,
william v. Pratt and Henry A.
Wiley. Their plea, according to
Shearer, was made in 1924.
Shearer. whose suit against three
shipbuilding concerns for salary al
legedly due him for prepagandizing
the American press section at Ge-
neva and similar work elsewhere
has caused a senate investigation
TO be ordered, issued a statement
here Sunday in which he also said
he was supplied with naval intel
ligence data officially"
Eager for Probe
He admitted presenting facts and
figures to American pewspapermen
at Geneva" without revealing to
them he was a propagandist, and he
professed to be eager for the in
vestigation which was recommended
by President Hoover. Mr.. Hoover
contended it was against the public
interest for shipbuilding concerns
secretly to oppose naval reduction.
The three concerns which Shearer
is suing are the Newport News Ship
building and Drydock Company, the
American Brown-Boveri Electrical
Company and the Bethlehem Steel
Company.
His statement also identified him
self with the National Council OF
American Shipbuilders, by reveal
ing that all the Shearer reports sent
from Geneva were addressed to
Henry c. Hunter, attorney for the
council. Sunday night in New York,
Hunter denied ever having any deal
ing with Shearer and he had re-
ceived no reports from him.
Kellogg Took Hand
shearer contended he was dis
charged by the three shipbuilding
concerns and said the dismissal was
urged by Frank B. Kellogg, who at
that time was secretary of state. He
refused to give the names OF the
officers who supplied him with the
"officiaI data" that he took to
Geneva.
Shearer styled himself "a naval
expert" an dtook credit for putting
through the bill in congress to IN
crease the salary of naval officers.
