Fiske seeks to reply misrepresented in Navy probe
Rear Admiral Fiske asks to reappear before the House naval committee to refute Secretary Daniels testimony about his conduct before resigning as operations aide. Chairman Padgett says hearings closed and sees no public interest in reopening. Fiske denies telling Daniels that Fletcher did not want Atlantic fleet command and recalls a July talk with Fletcher about his potential appointment. He asserts no ill will and would have supported Fletcher if in the Secretary's place. The wine mess memorandum could be added to the record if provided. The panel may vote on the admiral's request. Debate over the Howard University tiff postponed to next week with date to be announced.
