Harding Is

Presiden,-Elect Against Any
Reduction in Force Until
General Disarmament
Is Reached.
Reserve Army Favored

Marion. O.. Jan. "a naval poll
cy to keep the United States one C.
the strongest sea powers until a
binding disarmament agreement can
be reached, was discussed at a CON
ference yesterday between Presi-
dent-elect Harding and Representa-.
tv Butler OF Pennsylvania, chair
man of the house naval committee.
1t was indicated that, although a
final decision must await develop
ments. the attitude OF Senator Har-
ding pointed to continuation Of the
feet construction program now If
progress. Coupled with this pro
gram, however, would be niatcria
curtailment in civilian employees o
the Navy department. and Tarious
economies in the land statioh under
navy jurisdiction.
Mr.. Harding long has favored a,
efficient navy and he is understood
to feel big navy policy might be
continued practically il steps arc
taken to curtail the strength II the
army along lines he approved yes
terday in conference with Chairman
Kahn of the house military commit
tee.
Favors Reserve Plar.
He also favors the reserve sys-
tenn for both army and navy, and
is understood to have indicated to
Chairman Butler an adequate naval
reserve should be considered REQ.
uisite to naval defense.
The navy hinges, however, on what
progress may be found possible in
the movement for general reduc-
ton of world armament Mr.. But
Ter, who is inclined to place little
faith in the proposal, expects to de-
velop in committee hearings next
week. all information available on the
probable consequences Of disarna-
ment This information he will turn
over to Mr. Harding.
II am determined to know" he
said in statement, "what other ma.
tions sincerely desire In the way of
an agreement to limit armament"
4, Urges Canvass Of Sentiment
Mr.. Butler called Mr.. Hardings
attention to the provision of the
naval appropriation bill of 1916 re
questing the president to make
canvass of world sentiment on dis
armament. He recommended that
the new administration take ad..
| vantage of this authorization.
Another OF Presidentleiect Hard
ing's callers today was Daniel G.
Reid, New York manufacturer and
fnancier. who talked over the gem
eral financial situation and gave his
opinion on the problem Of getting
money systems back to a sound
basis.
B. R. Inman Of indianapolis. man
ager of the Indiana Chamber Of
Commerce, presented Senator Har-
ding with the results of study made
by his organization into financial

Auto Factories
General Survey for Past Week

Further Improvement
Predicted.

Detroit, Jan. "a beginning OF
industrial revival here was noted the
last week in a survey OF conditions
made by G. w. Grant, secretary OF
the Employers association. Approx
imately 5000 men have been. put
back to work and indications are that

until the automobile industry re-
turns to normal, Mr.. Grar.t said. He
added that the manufacturers expect
the end of the slump in retail busi-
ness to follow the annual automobile
shows.
Although some of the larger fac
tories, including the Ford and Dodge
plants, are closed and no definite date
set for their reopening, there are in
dications, he said, that the inactivity
may not be extended
Numerous other factories are
maintaining skeleton forces to which
men are being slowly added. The
Liberty Motor company announced
several hundred additional men
would be taken on January II. while
unofficial report was that the Cont
mental Motors plant would partially
reopen Monday.
The Dodge plant, it is said. is held
ready to resume within a week,
should it be decided to open. While
a notice at the Ford plant says it
will not reopen this month, there are
reports that the suspension may not
be for that long time.
At the Ford plant preparations are

Struck
From Bill.
$l.25O,OOO Appropriation Is
Dropped From Postoffice
Measure on Point of Order
-Jefferis Objects.
Will Appeal To Senate
BY E. c. SNYDER,


Washington, D. c., Jan. 9.-(Spe-
cial Telegram, 1.-The appropriation
of $l,250,000 for the operation and
maintenance of airplsne mail service
went out of the postofhce appropria-
ton bill Saturday on point of
order made by Representative TIL
cher of Kansas against the protest
of Congressman Jetferis of Omaha.
Anticipating that a point of order
would be made, "Big jeff" was
recognized before the item was
reached and in hve-minute speech
told of the interest the business men
OF Omaha and other cities had shown
in the development of the air mail
service. Laying the foundation for
a speech in behalf of the appropria-
ton. he read from the report of the
postmaster general for the fiscal year
ending June, 1920, wherein Burleson
speaks about the second extension of
the trans-continental air mail service
from New York to San Francisco,
and its extension from Chicago to
Omaha, which was inaugurated on
May IS. 1920.
Speed Up Service.
"The distance of this route is 440
miles by airline" the report states.
THE planes leave Chicago with
Chicago and eastern mails for Ona-
ha, at which point they arrive in time
for afternoon delivery. Had this
mail been carried by train it would
not have reached Omaha in time to
effect its delivery to the postal pa
irons before the following morning.
Eastbound, the mail leaves Omaha
about noon and reaches Chicago that
afternoon in time to catch all con-
nections out of Chicago II hours
earlier than if it had gone by train.
The commercial interests of Omaha
have co-operated splendidly with the
air mail service by furnishing large
air mail field, and perhaps the larg-
est civilian hangers in the United
States" ..
Congressman Jefferis then read
from the report of the postmaster
generals observations on the third
extension between Chicago and St.
Louis and concluded by reading the
following excerpt:
Landing Fields Established.
"The citizens of North Platte.
Neb.; Cheyenne, and Rock Springs,
Wyo.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Elko
and Reno, New, and San Francisco
have faid out large public landing
fields and have erected hangers for
the exclusive use of their mail ex-
tension. The service was inaugurated
on September 8, 1920, and the ini-
tial westbound trip was made at
the rate of 7o.o miles an hour and
was effected without a forced land
ing. The plane carried 10000 let
ters. which arrived in San Francisco
p hours ahead of the best possible
time by train, had the train made
all its connections.
The report further says that: Re
gular night flying with the mail has
not been practical with the present
types OF planes in the mountain sec

Judge Lewis ordered Morthorst

Morthorst did not appear, but
Mrs. Morthorst put them through

"You win," said the Judge. The
animals are undoubtedly yours and
