False Assertions by
Group's President -Are
Pointed out
Six of Statements in
Criticism Deemed
Not Correct
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (AP):
A verdict in favor of President
Hoover was returned today by
the Jury he appointed to weigh
the truth of statements contained
In William H. Gardiner's attack;'
upon the administration's naVal'
policy.
The committee found that the
pamphlet Issued by Gardiner as
president of the navy league,
charging Mr. Hoover with "abys
mal ignorance" of naval affaire
contained "maav inaccuracies.
false assertions and erroneous
conclusions."
Mr. Hoover had charged the
navy league head with uttering
falsifications and said he would
expect a public retraction and an
apology after the committee had
completed Its inquiry.
The group made its report to
day, laying on the president's
desk a 10.000 word document ac
companied by a lengthy letter ot
transmittal.
Six ot Gardiner's statements
were especially stressed as it-
correct. These were:
(1) That the president and
Prime Minister MacDonald of
England had "admittedly" reach
ed agreements never divulged in
their entirety;
(2) That the administration
refused to allow even an eieu- -Uve
session of the senate foreign
relations committee to see the
full record of negotiations pre
paratory to tha London naval
conference;
(3) That Mr. Hoover in 1929
delayed the building of the first
five of fifteen cruisers Just order
bT congress as a gesture prepare
lory l e naval conference not
commensurately followed by oth
er powers; ;
(4) What Gardiner termed an
obvious inference from a speech
by Hugh R. Wilson, minister to
Switzerland that Mr. Hoover un
der the one-year naval holidav
Just begun intends to torero
treaty rights to the constmctlop
of 87,800 tons of naval vessels:
