BALLOU To REVEAL
BUDGET SLASHES
Will Explain Where Bureau
Cut Into Original School
Estimates.

Items slashed from the public
schools original budget for the next
fiscal year by the Bureau of the
'udRet will be revealed by DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of schools.
at the annual joint conference be-
tween the Board of Education and
representatives of the various civic
and trade organizations at the Frank
lin School tonight at 8 o'clock. The
superintendent today completed his
comparative analysis of the school
estimates before and after the re-
duction, and will have it mimeo-
graphed for distribution at the con-
ference
The analytical comparison shows
that approximately s3.250,000 was
cut from the school boards original
budget. the greatest slash being in
the building program. The boards
original budget totaled approximate
ly S12.500, 900, and as 1t was sent to
Congress by the Budget Bureau it
called for the appropriation of about
$9,250,000.
Building Fund Cut.
The most important item eliminated
from the building program was an
appropriation for beginning the con-
struction of the proposed new Nc
Kinley Technical High School at
Second and T streets northeast, ad-
Joining the Langley Junior High
School. The site for the new school
has been acquired and the plans
drawn. Money for the preparation of
the plans was provided in the cur
rent appropriation bill. and school
authorities had assumed that the Bud
get Bureau would allow the stem for
beginning construction OF the new
high school to remain in the estimates
for the next fiscal year.
DR.. Ballou's analytical report also
shows that requests for additional
teachers and appropriations for text
books and supplies were reduced
somewhat by the Budget Bureau, de-
spite the urgent need for more teach
ers and larger appropriations for
textbooks to replace the thousands of
obsolete geoghrapies and geographi-
cal readers now in use.
More than 200 civic and trade or
ganizations and clubs interested in
public education have been invited to
send delegates to the conference.

House Committee and D. C. Heads
May Provide for Congressmen.

In discussing the traffic situation
with the District Commissioners

Representative Lampert of the House

the city heads the question of making

following the conference, that the
members OF Congress merely wanted
such provision made for their cars
to facilitate them in transacting
business. The Commissioners will
take the matter under advisement.
After leaving the Office of the Com
missioners representative Blanton
stated that he was confident action
would be taken by Congress to assist
the District authorities in improving
the traffic situation by providing a
traffic court with day and night ses-
sions and by increasing the police
force. Mr.. Blanton said he discussed

DEMANDS NAVY
Be STRENGTHENED
League Report Compares
Building by Britain and
Japan With U. S. Neglect.

Charging that every ship in the
American Navy has long list of out
standing repair work far greater
than the financial naval resources
permit of accomplishing. the Navy
League of the United States in it's
annual report. made public today.
demanded a Navy that is equal to
that of Great Britain and two-fifths
stronger than that of Japan. The re-
port was signed by r. w. Kelley,
president of the organization.
The report further says that there
are only s of Is battleships "in fair
service for real action" Six of the
IS ships in the Navy are cripples,
their boilers are worn out and have
been withdrawn from feet activities.
When 1t is realized that 13 out of the
Is ships allowed the United States
are in a seriously unsafe and ineffi-
cient condition for real service for
the lack of total of about s1s,0o0,-
900 nit would hardly seem to be ex-
pecting too much Of Congress to
make this appropriation Immediately
available" the report says.
Points to Building Abroad.
The league then sets forth in de-
tail the building of auxiliary ships in
progress by both Great Britain and
Japan. When such glaring de-
ficiencies as have been pointed out 1t
Is hardly necessary to add that the
list could be extended almost in
definitely In lesser matters. But here
1t is desired to lay emphasis on the
fact that we should forthwith build
% more light cruisers, aggregating
100000 tons, and about $4,000 tons
more of large submarines, II we are
to maintain our position and live up
to the treaty tactics.
Since the conference in Washing
ton the British have inaugurated the
building of 10000 tons of light cruis-
ers and of one large submarine OF
1.4So tons. The Japanese have in
augurated the building of very nearly
sc. 600 tons light cruisers and 22 large
submarines.
Comparative Requirements.
."This suggests that IL the British
need 100000 tons of cruisers for the
protection of their overseas trade, we
need fve-thirds the strength or the
Japanese in cruisers, or tWenty-one
10. o.0Oo-t ton cruisers in addition to the
10 light cruisers We now have.
The league then sets forth in the
annual statement the fact that the
Irnjted States is allowing their Navy
to fall behind those of Great Britain
and Japan. 1t states: THE post-con-
ference construction and program OF
other powers must end our bellet IN
one of these two bases of security.
We may abstain from competition
but if we do, our relative security
necessarily remains impaired. we
NAV restore our relative security, but
only by new construction.
