DISREGARDING the budget rec
~ ommendation and the opposition
of the President, the senate, before
passing the navy appropriation bill,
amended it to provide $1,200,O00 for
immediate work on the three light
cruisers authorized by the act of 1924.
The vote on the amendment was 40 to
81. OF the affirmative votes, "a we're
cast by Republicans and Is by Demo-
Gratis. The negative votes included
that of IS Republicans, 8 Democrats,
and l Farmer-Labor member.
AS passed by the senate, the bill al
so included an amendment providing
increased appropriations to carry into
effect the first part of the navy's FIVE
year aircraft program. This program
calls for minimum of 313 new planes
each year, and the house bill provided
for only 1856 next year. The measure
went to conference, with fair pros
poets that it would be sent to the
President with the cruiser clause In
cluded.

~ EAT interest was aroused in
" England, and almost equally in
this country, by the testimony in the
libel suit brought by Capt. Peter
Wright against Viscount Gladstone.
The case really amounted to an effort
by the viscount to clear the reputa-
ton of his father, William E. Glad
stone, from the charges of loose liv-
ing, made by Wright in one Of his
books, against the great commoner.
Lord Gladstone has denounced the au-
thor as foul-minded liar and cow
ard, and forced his expulsion from
club. Wright testified that various
persons had told him of intimacy be-
tween Gladstone and Lille Langtry,
Olga Novikoff of Russia and other
women. He asserted he still believed
what he had written but was now
sorry he had put the stories in print.
Lille Langtry, now Lady de Battle,
wired a denial from Monte Carlo, and
7. P. O'Connor and Lord Malmesbury
oontradicted Wright's testimony. 1t did
not appear that the author had much

DETROIT, March II (P.-Failing to

agraph III their declaration, attorneys
for Aaron Sapiro in his $1,OOo,OOO libc'
suit against Henry Ford, today turned
to an attack on the amended plea of
defense attorneys. The plea was class
ed as confusing to the issues involved,
"specious,' irrelevant and lacking in
justification for the libels charged in
the plaintiff's declaration
Judge Fred NJ. Raymond, after hear
ing William Henry Gallagher contend
that the pleas should contain only
matter covered in proposed amend
ments to an earlier plea, served by the
defense on PLAINTIFFS counsel, reserved
decision until tomorrow
Discussion of the plea occupied most
of the afternoon session, after Judge
Raymond ruled in the morning session
against injection of the new paragraph.
Gallagher said the new paragraph set
out that the term Jew as used in
articles in the Dearborn Independent,
on which the suit is based, was used
us a term of scorn, but was overruled
by q decision 70 Judge Raymond that
no new charge Of libel was brought
and that the paragraph would only
widen the scope of the case. Argu-
ments over the injection of the para
graph Indicated the attempt "apiro's
counsel will make to center the trial
on racial questions.
Senator James A. Reed, in arguing
against the motion, declared the jew
ish race was not being attacked al
though he admitted that Mr.. Sapiro
had been called a Jew. He contended
that admission Of the paragraph would
change the issue involved.
