NAVY FIGHTS MOVE
TOCUT ENLISTED
RANKS TO $4,000
Department Will Seek
Aid of the President
Against Plan.

The Navy Department has deter
mined to enlist the aid of President
Harding to determined resistance
to the movement in Congress for
reducing the enlisted personnel of
the navy to $4,000.
Such a reduction, the department
believes, would not only force the
United States navy out of proper
ton in the scheme or RELATIVELY
" orked out in the naval treaty, but
would cripple the service actually
needed for peace-time activities, to
say nothing of actually endanger-
gencies.
President Harding. II is said, has
assured Secretary DENLY and chiefs
of navy bureaus that he would re-
gard a reduction Of enlisted person
mel below $4,000 a serious mistake
and neglect Of the national defense.

See Need for All Men.
Naval authorities take the posi-
tion that the fleets and the shore
stations need practically all the
trained enlisted men now in the
service, If the ships which are to
be kept in service. should the naval
treaty be ratified, arc to be properly
manned.
An impression has spread that the
scrapping of a number of Older
battleships will release a large
number of enlisted men. Depart
ment officers yesterday said that
this is not true. Only about 600
men will be released by the scrap
ping of the ships on the conference
list Most of these vessels are now
"in ordinary" that is, they are tied
up with a mere handful of care
takers aboard each.
All the men released in that di-
rection and many times more will
be needed to man the two new ships
which are to be completed under
the Imitation program.

He was chairman of the organizers IN the
