SECRETARY NAVY ASKS LOOSEN|NC
 PURSE STRINGS
POINTS TO DETERIORATION DUE TO SHORTAGE OF ANNUAL
 APPROPRIATIONS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. P)-A plea for a loosening of the govern- ment's purse strings so that the navy may maintain it's full strength provid- ed by law, was made by Secretary Wilbur in his annual report to Pres ident Coolidge.
 The question of officer personnel had developed into dilemma, the secretary said, and with limited funds at hand it had been necessary to concentrate on repairs rather than on alterations required to keep the first line ships up to essential military standards for fleet service.
 In 1925, MT. Wilbur said, the navy got along with an undersized per sonnel-5,160 line officers being on the rolls when the report was con- piled. The authorized strength is 5,499. Lack of funds also made inn possible the maintenance of the Ire quired" S6,00O enlisted strength, the average for the year being nearly 4,O0O under that figure.
 The secretary gave it as his view that reduction of the Naval Academy enrolment had brought the navy to face serious question as to how it could function with an insufficient number of officers. He urged that appointments to Annapolis again be made on a basis of five for each member of Congress instead of the three necessitated by recent cuts in the budget.
 "The present limit of appointments to three for each member will not pro- vide sufficient commissioned person nel for maintaining the strength of the line of the navy on proper basis" the report said, "even if no appointments are made to the various staff corps from graduates of the Naval Academy"

RAGE BILL ST|RS
VIRGINIA IRE

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. o.
Claiming the racial integrity bill
introduced in the Legislature a
few days ago would classify as
"colored" some of the most dis
tinguished families of Virginia,
various patriotic societies are pre-
pairing to fight the measure, 1t
became known today.
One historian, who has studied
the question, expressed the belief
that the passage of the bill would
mean the classification as "colored
of 1000 Virginians, including some
of the leading families as well as
at least q dozen members of the
General. Assembly.
The racial integrity measure Is
being advocated by John Powell,
Richmond pianist; Ernest Sewer
Cox, ethnologist, and DR.. w. A.
Picker, State registrar or vital
statistics.
1t classes as "colored'' all white
persons with any known, demon
strable, or ascertainable admixture
of Indian or Negro blood forbids
their marriage to white persons,
and declares ''void alb lnitio" any
marriage entered into between such
a ''colored" person and white.
The only exceptions under the
bill would be the descendants OF
Indians and whites married prior
to 1919. which includes Pocahontas
and John Rolfe, descendants of
whom include Mrs. Woodrow VIII
son.
1t does not except the defendants
of two very famous marriages be-
tween Indians and whites, which
took place in 1854 and about 1914.
The Indian in each case was the
daughter of a famous Indian cher.
From these two unions are sprung
many Of Virginia's leading families.
1t is understood a judge OF the
State supreme court OF appeals
would fall under the ban, since ne
Is said to be descended from the
English Indian union i'm 1854.
Six distinguished Virginia families
were traced to this union today
from one of which has come two
governors of Virginia.
The trace of Indian blood in each
case is negligible, but, since the
two marriages are historical fafts
set forth in numerous printed
genealogies, it, is contended this
blood is unquestionably known anc
ascertainable.
Patriotic societies here are mar
shaling their forces in opposition to
the measure and are planning to
make their attitude known to the
General Assembly.
