trans Atlantic flight of the America"
and had it not been for the war. Tow
ers would undoubtedly have taken the
hazardous flight with Porte.
During the early years of the war,
Towers was in England, aiding the
admiralty. In 1917 he returned to the
United States and was first in Akron,
Ohio. organizing the fleet of naval
dirigibles, and later at Rockaway
Beach, Long Island, was placed in
command of the N. c. (Nancy) sea-
plane division /. comprising the three
oversee airplanes. 1t was here that
he earned the nickname Admiral OF
the Nancies" and a reputation for eff
ficiency in the care of pilots and their
planes. 1t was in 1919 that he took an
active part in the transatlantic flight
and was largely responsible for its
success.
While in London as naval attache,
Commander Towers met his wife, then
Miss Lily Carstairs and his small
daughter was born in London. Later
a son was born to Commander and
Mrs. Towers in Washington, where
they maintain a residence, and which
they look upon as home, having for so
many years been a part of the official
life of that city. Mrs. Towers and the
two children have accompanied Com
mander Towers to Pensacola.

tons estimates prepared under the new
budget law The budget proposed for
the 1928 fiscal year was S. sos. 900, 600,
a decrease of nearly $500.o00.000 from
the 1922 outlay and of more than two
billions from current expenditures.
Awaiting the presidents recommen-
dations tomorrow, no business was
transacted today by either senate or
house. Both appointed committees to
advise the president and each other of
the conyening of the new session. The
senate was in session only about TWEEN
" minutes, but the house devoted
three hours to debate on the st. Law
renee waterway project. The point was
raised that the discussions, before re-
ceipt Of the presidents message. was
unprecedented, if not discourteous. but
republican leadership went ahead with
the plan for open debate without PEN
dency of any bill.
Few bills were introduced today in
the house and none in the senate, the
relief from the usual swamp Of bills
and resolutions at the opening of the
new session being credited to the fact
that most measures already had been
4ntlodueed in the special session.
The first important measure of the
new session is to be called UP tomor-
row in the senate. This is the admin
istration bin for funding the $4,000
10000 OF allied debts, which passed
the house during the extra session but
failed to get through the senate.
