NAVY STORM SEEN
 IN NEXT CONGRESS
May Try to Equal That of Great
 Britain

Rapid City. S. D.. Aug. : (UP)-l Secretary of Navy Wilbur arrives here today to talk over with Presi- dent Coolidge the future program of the American navy, following the breakdown of the Geneva arms limi- tation conference.
 The United Press Is informed that the navy department already has worked out project for building up the naval strength on a basis com mensurate with the British naval program. The American scale would provide 20 additional 10000 ton cruisers including eight now under construction or authorized. It also would provide more capital ships to replace those which will be consider ed obsolete in 1881.
 Wilbur long has been an advocate
 of a strong navy. In fact of the presidents demand for curtailment he has-as all other navy secretaries
 in history insisted that foreign
 powers have an edge on this coun-
 try and that the United States should
 strengthen its sea force.
 Coolidge was not surprised at the collapse of the Geneva conference.
 He knew 1t was coming five days be-
 fore the complete breakdown was officially made known. At that time
 he served warning that the United
 States could not be pledged to any
 program which increased the
 strength of the navies of the world over the present status.
 The president wanted curtail- ment for economies and tax reduc- tio: but now that his effort has fail ed. he has refused to make known officially his intentions.
 It is generally admitted that the
 United States does not expect to en- ter a naval race with Britain or any other country but that she must take
 steps to protect her vast coast There is certain to be big navy fight in the next congress when the naval appropriations bill comes up. It Is expected to be complicated by bills for immediate increase of the Amer ican naval strength to balance that of Great Britain.
 Wilbur's arrival added more sub jects for discussion by the president than he has crowded into one days time in, recent years. The Sacco- Eanzetti bombings in the east are causing comment and the president also Is perplexed by the problem of choosing a successor to Governor General Leonard Wood of the Phil ippines who died Saturday in Bos- ton.
 Most prominent among those men, toned as successor to Wood are Car mi Thompson of Ohio. who made a personal investigation of the islands for the president; Henry L. Stim- son. personal negotiator for MT Coolidge in Nicaragua: former Sen. Rice Means of Colorado.
 Others include Frank V. Hodges, treasurer of the republican national committee; former Senator James w. Wadsworth, New York. and for me. Senator Irvine Lenroot of Wis consin.
 In view of the comment against the Sacco-Vanzetti execution the president is more carefully guarded now than at any time since he be- came the nations chief executive. The entire summer white house de- tail of secret service men is on duty in addition to 50 soldiers from Ft. | Meade.
 The guard now resembles that of 1 war times When MT. Coolidge went | to church Sunday a detail of secret | service men went ahead to search the church.
