EXPECT NO CUT AT
 GRoToN SUBMARINE BASE

Despite the great cut 10 the appropria- tions for the [. S. navy. and the drastic cut in the number of employees in the Brooklyn navy yard at New York and other navy yards on both the cast and west coasts, the submarine base at Gro- ton will be affected only slightly. as most of the work is carried on by naval men. Only the civilian workers will be affected. and as they number less than HOO only about 50 per cent of them will be suspended indefinitely.
 Sc far no reduction in the force has been made at Groton. Two thousand workers were laid off Friday in New York without warning. This was a result of the failure Of congress to agree on a larger naval appropriation
