Navy Department
Silent on 'Shake.Up'
In Ship Building
Friction Over Design
On Inspection Board
Is Reported

The Navy Department refused to-
day to make any official comment
on published charges that differ
ences of opinion on the design of
new naval vessels have resulted in
"shake-up". of the Board of In
spection and Survey.
Officers involved in the reported
shake-up are Rear Admiral H. l..
Brinser, president Of the board, and
Capt. Joseph S. Evans. Naval re-
cords show that orders for the
transfer of both officers were pub
lished last August IL.
Transferred at Own Request.
Admiral Brinser, at his own re-
quest, was ordered transferred to
duty on the Navy General Board.
1t was explained unoficially that
the General Board, more than any
other naval board, is in charge OF
actual laying down of fundamental
policies affecting construction and
design of new ships and that it
would be logical move" for an
officer of the Board of Inspection
and Survey interested in ship de-
sign, as Admiral Brinser is said to
be, to request transfer to the Gen.
eral Board.
Rear Admiral Yancey s. Williams
had been ordered here last Septem-
ber from duty with the fleet to
succeed Admiral Brinser as presi-
dent of the Board of Inspection and
Survey. His orders were Cancelled
about two weeks ago, however, be-
cause OF illness which resulted in
his death November / at San Diego,
Calf. No new appointment of a
successor to Admiral Brinser has
been announced.
Transfer Declared Routine.
Capt. Evans, the Navy Department
records show, had completed a nor
NAL three-year tour of duty in the
Board of Inspection and Survey and
his transfer August IL was described
as perfectly routine" He has
been assigned to Schenectady, N. Y,
to act as inspector of naval ma
terial at the General Electric Co.
plant.
Behind the transfers, according to
reports published today in the New
York Times, is a story of criticisms
made by Admiral Brinser and Capt.
Evans of details of design and par
ticularly of power plant design in a
number of the new naval vessels of
various types. The Board of Inspec-
ton and Survey, it was stated, has
reported numerous and often serious
defects in new ships.
Defects Described.
The defects, most of which have
been described in published news
stories during the past few years.
have ranged from cracked stern
posts and tendency to excessive
rolling in early models of the new
heavy cruisers to defective anchor
gear of new light cruisers and from
turbine and condenser troubles to
inefficient heavy gearing.
Much of the trouble, which has
been remedied, some of it at con-
siderable expense to the Govern
ment or contract builders, is de-
scribed as due to the fact the United
States for many years has not en-
gagged in construction of large naval
vessels, and difficulties are to be
expected as a result of lack of con-
tinuing experience. Others were
anticipated as a result of new de-
signs and are experienced in all
fields of new engineering, it was
explained.

station.

Outside Interference Blamed For Dissolution of l.. c. of c. Auxiliary

Charges of dictatorship hurled at , recent meeting of the Lithuanian Catholic Federation when the pow CTS that be were criticized for act Ing within their authority, moved this week to the ladies auxiliary to the Lithuanian Cnamper Of Con- merce which disbanded at a meeting held Monday night at the clubrooms of the Knights of Lithuania. Today in an official statement from the Chamber of Commerce, it is declared by Dr. Matthew J. Colney, president, that the dissolution was illegal and that the "chair" had no authority to permit such action.
 Group Votes
 The "chair" unquestionably refers to Mrs. Nellie JenuSaitis who has occupied the presidency of the aux Hilary for the past two years dur ing which time the women have been successful in the sponsorship of many activities. Although Mrs. Jenusaitis was not available for a statement today, many believed that she should not be asked to comment, since the dissolution was the result of a vote taken by the group.
 Although the auxiliary has func- toned for nearly three years, rumor has been circulated that the group was not a separate organization, and that anything done by the unit must first be sanctioned by the Chamber of Commerce, which also shares in the distribution of credits. No explanation has been given for the fact that the auxiliary had its own officers, conducted it's own meetings and arranged for It's own activities.
 Interference
 It was the general belief today that the women voted to cancel their affiliations with the Chamber of Commerce because of too much sideline interference, all of which was not needed or asked for, since directors were or believed them selves capable of guiding the organi- ration properly. No evidence of in- competence has been found.
 It was believed today that the unit would be reorganized as a social club without any outside assistance.
 Although the difficulties are simi- lar to those brought to light recent ly, it was pointed out that all or ganizations connected with the 1ith- uanian Catholic Federation of which Alexander J. Aleksis is president, are operating and holding meetings in perfect harmony.
 Statement
 A complete copy of the state ment forthcoming today is as fol- lows:
 Upon ascertaining the informa- ton that the Lithuanian Cham Der of Commerce auxiliary, Jan- uary 10th meeting, voted to dis solve the present organization, but that each individual member of the auxiliary had not been notified in writing to the effect that such an important question was to be de- cided upon at above dated rect ing, the Lithuanian c. of c. presi- dent, Dr. Matthew J. Colney, states that the dissolution is illegal and the "chair" had no authority to
