Charges Navy Misused

WASHINGTON--Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., charged tonight that United States warships are being sent to Australia and New Zealand "to reinforce the British in Singapore and other parts of the Orient."

Wheeler's charge was prompted by revelation that a U.S. Navy squadron of seven warships is due at Sydney, Australia, tomorrow on a "good-will" visit. A six-warship squadron is concluding a similar visit to Auckland, N.E.
