Craft, Lay Up Old Ships
and Avoid Repair Bills

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The naval
appropriation bill, which probably will
be reported to the House Wednesday,
carries approximately s395.00o, 900, a
reduction of about $38 900 900 from the
amount appropriated a year ago and
S284,000,00 less than departmental
estimates.
An appropriation Of 1896 ,000, 900, in
the opinion Of members of the appro-
priationa sub-conanaittee that framed
the bill would necessitate reduction
,of the nayy's enlisted personnel from
a present possible maximum Of Las, 900
to maximum CT 100000, but would
permit g. continuation Of the navy'a
building program at the same rate as
during the current fiscal year.
Chairman Kelley Of the sub-commit-
tee declared to-day that a force of
Loo, 600 regulars would be ample for the
navy's needs during the year beginning
July /. The potential strength Of the
navy. he added, can be maintained with
this number Of men, especially since
approximately 10000 men who for
merly were blueiackets, but are now
civilians, would be available in an
emergency.
Officer Strength Not Affected
There will be no cut in the number
Of officers, according to Representa-
tive Kelly, who said the sub-commit-
tee believed every one Of the $500 now
in service should be retained Trained
officers, he declared, are the nucleus of
an efficient navy, and it would be a
mistake to. force economies in that di.
rection.
"We have drafted the bill with the
aim Of maintaining the potential
strength of the navy, so 1t can be
quickly expanded in case Of emer-
gency,' said Mr.. Kelly, who added
that during conference with Presi-
dent-elect Harding at Marion he had
gained the impression that Mr.. Har-
ding favored such policy
A navy Of 100000 men would be
sufficient to man all first class fight
ing craft, according to the sub-commit-
tee chairman.
1--WE would have enough men to keep
one hundred destroyera and all of our
submarines in service" he declared
"It probably would be necessary to tie
up some out-of-date ships, but il is
advisable to do that in order to econo-
mize."
Use Of only modern craft, in the sub
committees opinion, would cut down

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - Recon-

tion Of the wartime espionage laws.

mutation refused. SIS q 5ie3. ;.s y
The decision Of the .Praskd came
as no surprise, because of his previous
refnsals TO intervene in the ease on
the ground that Debs had soughs to
handicap the government through OPP
position TO the se1ective service act
during the war, and that the granting
Of clemency in this case might induce
similar tactics on the part Of others
an the event of another war.
Announcement Of the decision was
made Q few hours after the recon-
mendations Of the Department Of Jus
tice had been submitted to him.
| The case was reviewed by special
board now taking up all convictions
under the espionage act, and their find-
ings were indorsed by Attorney Gem
eral Palmer. The findings are under
stood to have pointed out that Debs
would be eligible for parole on August
III, 1922 and that his sentence, in case
OF good behavior, would expire on De.
cember 2, 1925. The Recommendation

Called No Witness
| Petitions have been presented at
various times by. union labor and So
clalist leaders asking for the release
Of the man, now sixty-six years old,
who four times has been candidate
for President Of the United States. The
case has been fought in and out Of the
courts since Debs was convicted by q
Federal jury at Cleveland, Ohio, Sep
stember 12, 1918, for violation Of the
espionage act.
Specifically the charges against him
included attempting to incite insuhor-
dination in the military forces and OBJ
atructing recruiting. The case was ap-
Lealed to the Supreme Court Of the
United States, which sustained the
lower court on March 10, 1918.
When placed on trial at Cleveland
Debs called no witness in defense and
made tho only argument in his own be-
half. In appealing to the Supreme
Court he attacked the admission in evil
dence by the lower court Of the st.
Louis Socialist platform, which he had
indorsed, and records from the trial Of
Rose Pastor Stokes, and alleged that
he had been tried on his "state Of
mind" Validity Of the espionage act
as violating the right OF free speech
also was attacked by Debs before the
higher court.
