Diekema Not Sent For Though He Made Gestures
Michigan Representative Diekema testified at length in a White House exchange with President Roosevelt over the Wilfley matter. He said the President acted within prerogatives and used vigorous but not intolerant gestures during a discussion about the judge in China. Williams pressed for a broader inquiry into executive privileges. Diekema defended the President and his right to debate. The House applauded as Diekema spoke and adjourned for the day.

Navy list crowded as midshipmen graduate pace grows
Assistant Secretary Newberry told the House Naval Affairs Committee that at the current rate of midshipman graduation the active fleet will be crowded with lieutenants by certain ages in about 15 to 20 years. He proposed retirement by selection of a fixed percentage of officers each year to weed out the less efficient and keep only the best in active service. The department backs inserting clauses in the navy personnel bill to implement this plan, including reserve list duty sharing and limited promotions, with retirement by application as currently provided.
