Seemincy Whanels appealed to Senate Naval Committee Chair Tillman to defeat a compromise legislative proposal granting claimants bases on the navy petroleum reserve in Wyoming. He also sent navy objections to Senator Mitman, arguing the claims are fraud and the navy’s safety would be jeopardized by fuel losses.
