ECONOMY drive
FINALLY CHECKED
Friends of Naval Bill Score Success
SURE TO PASS SOON
Provision for Drydock and Dredging
at Charleston May Be
Restored

Washington, May 24-Tke econ
omy drive against the $495, 100000
naval appropriation bill was shat
tered in the senate today when many
increases recommended by the naval
committee were adopted.
By vote of as to 23 the senate
adopted committee amendment, op-
posed vigorously by the economy
forces, providing for personnel of
10000 men as against 100000 au-
thorized by the house. Afterward, in
quick succession and without de-
mands from the economy advocates
for roll call on the naval person.
mel, apparently broke the attack of
senators who have been fighting to
overthrow the increases recommend
ed by the naval committee. The way
also was paved for passage of the
bill tomorrow or Thursday, after
prospective adoption of the Borah
amendment for a disarmament con-
ference. There were reports today
Of negotiations looking to restora-
tion of appropriations for a new Pa
cific coast base at Alameda, Calf.
and for continuing drydock and
dredging projects at Charleston, S.
G. Whether these negotiations fig
ures in the vote today sustaining
the committee increases was not dis
closed.
Party lines were broken in the
vote on fixing the navy personnel at
10000. Thirteen Republicans voted
to hold the personnel to 100000, but
the loss Of these Republicans to the
committee provisions was offset by
ID Democrats who voted to keep 12O,-
600 men in the navy.
Among committee increases adopt-
ed were $15O,377,0 900 for pay of per-
sonnel, $5,800,000 for reserve forces,
$8,783, 900 for provisioning $75OO-
600 for fuel and its transportation
and $5,000,O00 for the marine corps
and :quartermaster corps. Nearly all
OF theae increases were bound up in
the decision for personnel at 12O,-
900.
Senator Lenrott, Republican, Wis
consin, led the battle today against
the committee increases and again
warned the Republicans that the
country would not stand for them.
He was joined by Senator Hitchcock.
Democrat, Nebraska, who announced
that he would vote against the bill
If the committee increases should be
substantially sustained.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, rank
ing Democrat on the naval commit
tee, however, supported the commit
tee program, declaring that with the
aviation and other programs of the
navy 10000 men were needed. Sena
tor Underwood, Alabama, Democratic
leader, who voted for the 10000
personnel made lengthy address
advocating international disarma-
mena agreement but opposed disar-
mament by the United States in the
absence of an agreement with other
powers.
