NAVY PLANS BIC
REDUCTION IN
] EXPENSES
Requested Appropriation
E-v Be SIasheIl by More
Than $4,000

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-B Budget
pairing and its possible requirements
as. to curtailcd program is engaging
the study of naval heads as well as
the War Department.
Acting at the request Of the budget
bureau to reduce its program for the
fiscal year 1927. the Navy Department
has slashed its original estimates by
more than s40,0OOO0O by arranging
TO cartail activities all along the line
and perhaps abandon number OF
Eastern shore stations. War Depart
ment officials at the same time fear
that the army's budget, although there
has been no authoritative indication
Of what the bureaus recommendations
may be. will be limited to figure
that viii necessitate dropping from
1000 TO 10000 enlisted men and pos
sibly 1000 or 1000 officers.
$4,000, 900 NEEDED.
Where 1855, 100000 was originally
asked, the navy program is now I'M
derstood to represent an outlay for
the next fiscal year of approximately
Ssl0,00S0O0. This compares with an
appropriation of $780,, 100000 for the
present fiscal year.
Inasmuch as officers regard $780,
100000 as about the minimum ne.es.
sary in meeting budget requirements
70 cut into plans for new consUuc-
ton as well as aviation development,
in addition to curtailing the shore
stations.
MAY CLOSE STATIONS.
While conferences have not been
concluded ut the Navy Department
on the situation, it is understood the
revised estimates provide for the clos
ing of the Boston navy yard, the
charleston navy yard. the Supply
Base at Brooklyn. and either the
Great Lakes or the Hampton Roads
naval training station. In taking this
stand, ii is pointed out that recon-
mendations Of the board headed by
Rear Admiral Rodman three years ago
on the shore establishment situation
are being followed.
The move also would be in line with
the general trend Of recent years in
hasing naval activities in the Pacific.
thereby eliminating the necessity of SO
many stations on the East coast.
, MAINTAIN STRENGTH.
The present strength of $4,000 en-
listed men is expected TO be main
tanned but the original plan to utilize
S1f-OOO.O00 toward new construction,
much of which was authorized last
year b. Congress in new cruisers and
other craft but not appropriated for
Beyond an amount sufficient merely 10
begin construction, faces the prospect
OF sharp revision.
While S14.000,O0O is regarded as the |
MINIMUM requirement for the bureau
Of aviation, So, 100000 had been re-
iuested TO expand the activities of |
this branch Of the service. This fig

Dlilfy of a considerable reduction.

station at Lakehurst and placing the

Fading Signals

Fading of signals is thought to be
due in the electrical constitution of
the upper atmosphere. 1t is nat
ural phenomena OF the ether which
cannot be controlled at the receiver
or transmitter. Scientists believe a
layer of electrified and rarefied. air
exists about sixty miles above the
earth's surface and that this layer
acts as reflector Of l1ertzian
waves. Owing to natural causes, the
rejecting power Of the conducting
sheet varies from time to time at
one minute and then becomes dim
when a person breathes upon it.
