The new aircraft carrier to be built

ships for smaller vessels.
Out of such step, they believe,

and q lessening of the loss. that would
be caused in wal. time by the destruc-

Representative French, Republican,
Idaho, chairman of the appropriations
subcommittee which supplies the funds
for the Navy Departments activities,
predicted today that in the years to
come five of the smaller carriers would
replace the Lexington and the Sara
toga, the two high-tonnage ships that
now are the first line carriers for
the feet.
Tonnage Compared.
The new ship contemplated would
be of $4,000 tons, as compared with
approximately $4,000 tons each for the
Lexington and the Saratoga Naval
experts estimate that it will carry 70
planes for regular use and 35 in re-
each carry 90 Serviceable planes and

gress will build as the years go along"
Every one knows" he went on, that

Saratoga, are money consumerS-money

of $40,000000 each. They cost fol

NEW YORK, July 10.-It was learned
here today from an authoritative source
that the American moving picture in
dustry will seek the aid OF ieading
industrialistS to defend itself against In
creaSingly frequent ana omlnous moves
toward censorship.
1t is not the fact that investment
bankers are pouring floods Of new CAPT.
tai into the films which is causing the
producers to look to industry for aid;
it Is rather that the discovery that
American films have stimulated foreign
demand for luxuries undreamed of In
past years, and. as the movies have
brought in crimonologiStS to prove they
are not crime breeders, they are bring
ing In economists and StatisticianS to
show that the sybarites of the screen
are developing a foreign urge for SILK
stockings, lace pajamas, automobiles,
tiled bathrooms and such fxings, which
helps to keep the exportable surplus
moving. The movies now asks return
boost.
AS one Aim magnate put it, "They
are doing the work of 100000 high
at work in every country of the world"
False Standards Charged.
Women's organizations, including the
National Council of Women and the
Womens Christian Temperance Union,
aside from their attacks on supposed
indictments to crime and immortality
in the films, are out for the simpler
pastorals in which the penthouse
orgies, featuring such marketable luxu-
ries as those enumerated, would not
figure. The Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union at its recent national
conference passed a resolution charging
the movies with establishing false
standards of life" and pledging the
organization to a drive for Federal
supervision of motion pictures, with
higher standards applied at the source
of production"
This criticism is, of course, detail
of the main drive for censorship, but
it was perhaps an unfortunate one for
the reformers, as it gave the producers
an idea. They found two-fold reason
for appealing to the manufacturers and
| industrialists; first there was the little
matter of reciprocity, the movies hav.
| ing doomed foreign trade; and second
there was the warning that if the CEN

WARNS CHARITY DONORS
Contributors Who Are Asked to

The Better Business Bureau today
issued warning to contributors to
the Community Chest of Washington
to investigate before they make con-
tributions to ostensible charitable pur-
poses sought by persons of unknown
standing or authority.
The warning issued following receipt
by the bureau Of information that

during the recent campaign had been
compiled for unknown or unrecognized
solicitors of funds in the name of char
tiles. not provided for under the Com
munity Chest plan, by telephone.
While the list of contributors to the
Community Chest might conceivably
be employed by legitimate solicitors to
recognized organizations, the bureau
points out. it would be advisable for
prospective donors to any new fund to
first investigate and ascertain the repu-
tation of the solicitors and the organi-
cation seeking the funds.

carried and kept his name virtually q
household word. The gavel punctuated
his initial address to the Senate March
4, 1925, in which he ripped to shreds
the august procedure of that body and
hung the remnants up so that all might
see. This was regarded by many as the
first act that would lead him to presi-
Dental nomination.
He continued to carry on cam

asserted the public veal was at stake,
after the paralyzing first speech, but
he did not retain the place in the ma

decade.

There we're many. however, who re-
garded him as strong potential dark
horse for the Republican nomination
at Kansas City up to the eve of the
convention, although he had asserted
with characteristic emphasis that he
was not.
So after a dozen years of almost
constant attention to public affairs,
Mr.. Dawes goes back. at 81. to the field
of endeavor that has made him a
wealthy man. He will be chairman Of
the board of the combined Central

of Court of Appeals.
The title of the Washington Loan g.
Trust Co. to the McGill Building, at

the District Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Justice Charles H. Robb.
The local company had purchased the

The widow died December IS, 1910,
and the town of Bowmanville con-

Der, 1912. william Larkin and Henry
Larkin attacked the validity of the
transfer from the Canadian corporation
and asserted their claim to the prop
erty as lineal descendants Of the pa
ternal grandfather of James H. McGill.
The theory of the suit was that the
town of BoWmanville, being an alien
corporation. was incapable Of taking

In refuting this contention the appel
late court points out that by the act of
1905 Congress made applicable to the
District Of Columbia the exception con-
tanned in the act of 1897 respecting the
purchase by persons not citizens Of the
United States of lots and parcels OF land
