The other is an ad- ditional special contribution prom ised by this same devoted friend of the university in the closing days of the campaign to defray the entire cost of this, thus relieving Yale's funds and Yale's alumni from the large expenditure necessitated by carrying on for a period or two years work in every state of the Union and in many foreign coun- tries

May Increase Personnel
 At |. $. Naval Academy
BY GEORGE II. MANNING

nLolNIE II. MANNlNt
 Washington Bureau of the N. B, HeraldI
 Washington. D. C., Dec. 30-- Congressman E. Hart Tenn of Weth- ersfeld will have two additional United States Naval Academy ap- pointments to make in 1928 if con- gress appropriates the necessary funds to increase the academy's en- rollment to it's authorized limit of S,276 midshipmen.
 Shortly after the holiday recess the house appropriations committee will take under consideration a rec ommendation of the house naval af- fairs committee that appropriations for the academy be increased in the next fiscal year to permit five can- didates from each congressional dis trict instead of three as is now the rule. The present law provides that five candidates from each district may be enrolled at the academy at one time but recent appropriations have been insufficient to permit more than three.
 Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, in his annual report to congress, reit- erated his request that each district be permitted to have its full quota of five candidates. The naval af- fairs committee has approved the re- quest and has instructed a subcom- mittee to take the matter up with the appropriations committee after the holidays.
 When the navy's new building program becomes operative. 1.700 additional naval officers will be re- quired. It is estimated that the ap- pointment of two additional mid shipmen by each congressman will entail an added expenditure of s1,- 037,217.
