Admiral Evans Seethes Over Navy Censure Hearing Absence
Washington Aug 12 Rear Admiral Robly D Evans accepts the navy department censure for criticizing former Secretary Chandler in A Sailor's Leg and will say nothing further. Evans' friends protest unfair treatment for not granting a hearing to reply to Chandler's letter or defend himself before condemnation. They allege Evans learned of Chandler's July 15 letter only when published and that a second department communication was unknown to him. They argue a court of inquiry would target Acting Secretary Hackett, which is not feasible. They contend Chandler appealed to the department with help to defeat Evans, while Folger’s role in the lighthouse board removal remains disputed as Folger is dead.
