NEW DEPLORES BL'ND^ SLIOHT o — WASHINGTON, April 22.—Strong opposition on the part of Democrats was voiced at a meeting of the Senate military committee today to contirma tion of the nomination of Brig. Gen Clarence R. Edwards, first commander overseas of the 26th (New Eng land National Guard) division to be a major general. The subject was discussed at a conference with Secretary Weeks, who urged confirmation in the course of his outlining the qualifications of the officers recently nominated by President Harding to be brigadier and major generals. Bundy’s Name Omitted The name of Omar Bundy of Newcastle, Ind., commander overseas of the 2nd division, although carried in the list of major generals subnvtted for confirmation at the last session of Congress was not included in the Harding list, and failure of the War Department to name him at this time was critcised today by Senator New of Indiana, Republican. He is understood to have made an effort to have the name restored to the list. Opposition to promotion of Gen. Edwardg was saij to have been based upon his military record, although Secretary Weeks said that War Department files container no unfavorable evidence in connection with his release from the command of the divi sion some time before the armistice. A mor e complete investigation of the records, it was said was suggested, however, and the secretary was requested to supplement information giv en the committee today at a meeting tomorrow Meanwhile action on all the nominations w’as deferred.
