WASHINGTON, January 6
A tense, emotional scene occurred over a dispute before the Naval Affairs Committee regarding the amount RearAdmiral Magruder received for a recent magazine article criticising the navy. Representative Miller hotly assailed Rear-Admiral Magruder, and declared that the navy had nurtured him and given him his bread and butter. He stated; “If every naval officer wrote similar articles, God knows,what would happen to discipline.” He asked the admiral how much he received for the article. Rear-Admiral Magruder; “ It’s none of your business.” Mr Miller shouted: “ I will make it my business.” Representative Britten interrupted, and stated that the admiral received 750d01, and that he had a contract for 3,000d0l for three articles. Rear-Admiral Magruder said: “There has never been any agreement. I send articles and they send me cheques.” He added that the magazine for which he wrote would not accept articles from more than six men in the navy. This statement provoked, mirth, causing Mr Britten to explain; “We are laughing at the admiral’s conceit.” Rear-Ad-miral Magruder jumped up, angrily declaring: -I object to that.’- J
