To date there has been no official reaction to the league’s report of Wednesday night, which was issued in the form of a seventeen-page printed letter addressed by William Bruce Howe, chairman of the board, to the league directors. Promising a later “full rejoinder” to the President’s “vindication” committee, Howe's statement reiterated its charges that Mr. Hoover is “starving” the navy, and denied the allegations of “inaccuracies, false assertions, and erroneous conclusions” returned by the presidential committee. The committee’s report dealt with what Mr. Hoover termed the “untruths and distortions of fact” contained in the league’s first attack which was issued by William Howard Gardiner, league president.

It was said at the White House today that the President had no comment to make.
