A distinct rift has developed be-
tween President Coolidge and his
Secretary of the Navy, Curtis D.
Wilbur, over Administration naval
policy.
1t has widened steadily since
the submission of the new budget,
appropriating $10,000,000 less for
the upkeep of the navy this year
than last, despite the evidence of
experts and the general board
that the navy today is consider
ably further from the 5-5-3 ratio
than it was a year ago.
Today Washington was filled with
renewed reports, which could neither
be positively confirmed nor positive
ly denied, that Secretary Wilbur
will soon part company with the
Administration and either accept
reappointment to the judicial service
or retire to private life.
Ired BY Wilbur Testimony.
President Coolidge is said to have
been irked by some of SECRETARY
Wilbur's confidential testimony be-
fore the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee, which has been coming out
piecemeal for a week. Wilbur's
views, which reflect those Of the
general board, differed widely from
those expressed by the President IN
his message to Congress-, and his
subsequent speeches and papers.
In his message to Congress,
President Coolidge said:
Frequent reports will reach US
of the magnitude of the military
equipment of other nations. We
shall do well to be little impressed
by such reports or such actions"
Within the last week Secretary
Wilbur has told the committee

Smith Amendment, Aimed
Against Private Manage
ment, Faces Defeat
By KENNETH CLARK,
International News Service.

The fate of the Underwood
Muscle Shoals bill hung in the
balance in the Senate today.
Working under unanimous con-
sent agreement, the Senate was
scheduled to vote not later than
3 o'clock on the Smith amendment
to the bill.
Passage of the Smith proposal
would in effect kill the Under
wood measure for it would wipe
out the provision authorizing lease
of Muscle Shoals to private inter-
ests. Instead, the Government
would operate the properties for a
period of years chiefly for expert
mental work in manufacturing
nitrate and fertilizers.
Progressives and a handful OF
Democrats led the fight for the
Smith measure in an effort to block
attempts to dispose of Muscle
Shoals to private control.
Administration Senator's united
with Underwood forces in opposi
ton. They predicted they would
have sufficient votes to defeat the
Smith amendment, regarded on ali
sides as the conclusive test OF
strength on the Underwood bill.
But while lines were drawn for
the showdown on the Smith measure
a counter move was launched by a
another group of Senators to de,
lay. for this session at least. a
final decision on Muscle Shoals.
This group, for which Senator
Watson (Rep) OF Indiana, assistant
leader of the Senate. acted as
spokesman. would refer the whole

The opening shot in a new pos
tai rate war was fired today by
Senator James A. Reed (Dem.)
of Missouri when he issued an
attack upon the Administrators
plan to finance the postal salary
bill through a measure sharply
increasing rates on second, third
and fourth class mail.
Reed denounced the Administra-
TONS maneuver as a "trick" to
defeat the pay bill, with it's in
creased wages for postoffice en-
ployes all over the Nation. He
charged the Administrative sought
to antagonize newspaper publish
ers, by taxing them for the cost
of the salary increase, and thus
bring about it's ultimate defeat.
New Bill Drafted
Senator Sterling RepD OF South
Dakota, chairman of the Senate
Postoffice Committee, meanwhile
drafted new bill to include both
salary increases and the new rate
schedule recommended by Postmas-
ter General New.
The rate increases, including a
