High praise is meted out to Admiral McGowan for the high state of elliciency In witch his departient was foitid. Friends of the "Old Tar" here will be interested ii reading this re port whiich Was;i as follows: "'The lunreau of Suipplies and Ac cotnts is tile navy's great Isiness of lice, and incidentally it is one of the biggest en terprises in the Uniited Stat's. 'ider its ciiief, Iteal Admiral Saiitl .\l Gowani, it has established and wll deserves a nationli-wide repu tation for busintess etliciency. It has the responsibility of feeding, clothing. and pay ing the entire per soniel of the navy, and supplying all vessls ot t le iavy witi stores and eiluipien t for etlicient operation. When war came, it found the bireau with a 1iec:1e-t i ile olgani/izationl of 128 olliters and civilian s. lat personnel, lowever, had been so constantly in do(t rinatetd with the laymaster Cen eral's policy of doing everything with a view of preparing for any eveitual ity, tilat it n'eeded only augmentation to handle smoothly tile vast increase in its daily business (letails.

"ne of tle most, important prob leni the buralu had to solve was the pl:ing of contracts and secuir ing de livery of large stocks of winter cloth ing for a navy that by winter had in creased inany tim1es its original size. Tlis icould not be accomIpslihed by merely placing the contracts and then waiting delivery. The requiirements for thlie ariy and our allies had made suchl a demandllllf onl the mills anld onl ilhe m11.a ni facli rers that all con tracIs had to be placed with tile greatest. care and iinder varying con1dItions to meet tle navy's minaeldiate iceds..
