WASHINGTON. March Iii—Neur-

the Senate investigating committee.
Rear Admiral Sims today elaborated
his charges that the inadequacy of his
staff abroad prevented for several
months maximum efficiency in the Uni
ted States naval participation in the
war. He testified that he was unable
to bring the Navy Department to a re-
alization of the importance of his post
and the necessity for providing a. large
Staff at the outset to compile and dl<
gent allied naval information and di-
rect the early details of American co-
