All departments aro icf erring inquiries to the fuel administration and that organization is swamped with work, trying to straighten out the tanglo precipitated upon tho country. .,.,,, ' As tho confusion continued thero was marked disposition to criticize what was generally regarded as a bungling handling of publlclty-a failure to tako the public into tho Administration's confidence and prepare It for tho shod: of tho Garfield order. ,..,,. . , . On tho "dodging responsibility" chargo it was noted that at first the order was generally labelled as a. "coal" measure, while Garfield was saddled with the burden of complaints for it. Last evening Secretaries Daniels and Hakcr and others began to talk of It as a transportation problem-an order designed to free ships tied up In ports. This was after Garfield had boon tho center of a storm all clay, though tho tldo was veering to criticism of tho railroad system under Director McAdoo. Then last night, when Garfield openly revealed that the order was to re lease transports mainly, thero was a tendency to say Garfield placed the burden on McAdoo. TENDENCY TO BLAME BAKER McAdoo' friends said ho knew virtually nothing of the scope of It, though ho and Garfield had been n touch. Some took occasion to cast the u, .,., w.nrotnrv Ttakcr.-harking back to the time, montlm ago, when ho disagreed with Secretary Lane's tentative price-fixing arrangement on coal. In the matter of publicity and confidence in eno puuuc ic - .."i that Garfield originally planned to let shipyards and " munitions factories operate, but not to say anything about It. Then lato Wednesday night, at a . veitii Secretaries Daniels and Baker, this plan was ditched and .... .i,ln,.r,i. nn munition Dlants were of bureau chiefs and Industrial firms, Baker and Daniels. Garfield planned to put the order into effect at midnight jesterday, there by not giving the country any time to prepare. Newspaper men counseled him not to do this, and ho waited. This move was characterized In many quarters as an attempt to "put something over" ahead of tho criticism which was destined to come. .,,..., , Last night Administration chiefs began taking the public fully Into their confidence regarding tho situation, and in this wlso they hoped criticism would be stilled and that the nation would accept the burdens of the order patriotically.

It continued: "This sudden and extraordinary ac tion, in the opinion of your committee.
