 While officials here say they do rot care to make any prediction as to the time for holding the next dis armament meeting. from the nature of the task ahead of the naval ex- perts. such a conference during the present year is regarded generally in Washington as highly improbable.
 Some naval opinion seems to be that there is little likelihood of a meeting of the great powers in ad- vance of that provided for in the Washington arms conference trea- ties. which is in 1881. The date. however. may be advanced from midsummer of that year to the early spring.

HOOVER ID FOLLOW
 CRUISER PROGRAM
Hust Build NsV Ships Although
 Seekin6 Naval Reductions

Washington, June { 0@The American cruiser building program will be carried forward by President Hoover as laid down by congress and provision for new ships will be made in the next federal budget.
 The administration recognizes that work toward construction of IS ad- ditional 10.000-ton fighting ships is made mandatory under the program until an agreement for reduction Of sea armaments is reached by the leading nations and ratified by the senate. and the president has no in- tention of attempting to modify or abandon that policy.
 Contrary interpretations drawn from the presidents Memorial Day address all the statement issued afterward by Secretary Stimson em- phasizing the tremendous economic burden placed upon the powers by present naval requirements, are 'de- scribed in high administration cir cles as erroneous.
 Although the administration Is heartily in favor of a reduction Of naval armaments and has moved to- ward that end by suggesting, through Ambassador Hugh s. Gibson at the Geneva preparatory disarmament conference, a new basis for evalua- ating relative naval strength, it re- gards an actual agreement as un- likely in the near future. Without such an agreement. ratified by the senate, no modification or abandon ment of the American building pro- gram can be considered.
 Would Standartlize Navies
 AS the disarmament situation now stands, the preparatory commission is marking time while the principal powers are studying and undertak- ing to make practical application to their own navies of the yard stick" formula presented by Ambas- sador Gibson.
 This formula is that in evaluating relative naval strength there be talk en into account. besides tonnage, armament, armor. speed and age as we'll as some less important factors. The delegates to the Geneva confer ence received the proposal with a show of enthusiasm.
 Slow Progress Likely
 Officials here say that, since high ly technical questions are involved. slow progress is to be expected. First,
New Britain herald., 1929-06-04

the naval experts of tho other pow CTS mutt determine how the yard stick" can be applied to their own navies. taking into account their tn- dividual needs for certain types and classes of ships.
 Having made this determination they, like the American experts, must then settle upon the ratio in the whole equation that is to be given to tonnage; to armament and to the other factors. The opinion here is that the experts of no two nations will arrive at precisely the same figure of percentage.
 After the experts of the i've lead ing sea powers have computed their
New Britain herald., 1929-06-04

percentage scale. they will report to the preparatory commission which adjourned subject to call.
 Reassembling in Switzerland. the experts of the various nations then will be faced with the problem of composing their differences in the effort to reach common yard stick" applicable to all the navies.
 These computations and agree ments are essential to future dis armament conference unless some other formula can be worked out in the meantime, and there is no sug- gestion that any other will be forth coming until every effort has been made to apply the American pan.

 oS Thank Offering.

London, April e9 OR - Gratitude for King Georges recovery had led an anonymous donor to give 100, 1000 guineas (about $50O,000) to King Edwards hospital fund for London with the hope that it will form a nucleus of thank" offerings from the nation as a whole.
 Administrators of the hospital fund have adopted the anonymous benefactor's suggestion and have completed arrangements under which particular contributions may be earmarked for purchase of ra- dium.
 Signifying the kings appreciation of the kindly thought of the donor. Lord Stamfordham. King George $ private secretary. has written as follows:
 "The kings illness has brought home to him more clearly than evel before, the resources of modern medicine and the value of devoted nursing. Medical science owes much of its development to great hospitals, which also contribute an admirable training ground for the nursing pro- fession."
 King Edwards hospital fund was started by King Edward VII in 1S97 and makes grants to 1SO hospitals and other institutions. When the fund was first started the objective was $500,000 a year. Last year the amount received totalled more than &1,a50000,

DAKOTA BADLANDS

 National Park

Interior. S. D., April 29 R-An open book on the evolution of ami nal life from the earliest geologic period soon will be readily accessible to automobile tourists.
 The Bad Lands of South Dakota. 50.000 acres of geologic treasures and unique scenery. are to be made part of the national park system as soon as two requirements are met by citizens of the state.
 The first is that highway. al ready surveyed. be built through the area to provide easy access to the points of greatest interest. It will start at Interior. go over Big Foot pass. through the region known as the Pinnacles, and on west to Sage creek. distance of about 30 miles.
 The second requirement is that a few pieces of private property along the highway be acquired without cost to the federal government.
 Senator Peter Norbeck. one of the leaders in the movement to preserve the Bad lands. predicts that these conditions will be fulfilled within two years.
 In its report on a survey Of the territory, congregational commit tee said
 ''The topography of the South Da- kota Bad Lands is so unique. varied and interesting, and the fame Of the region as a large field for scientific exploration of the geologic past is so extensives. that the committee is of the opinion this area is worthy Of national park status. The fossil remains of prehistoric animals em- bedded in the formations of this re- zion are found in great profusion.
 For over so years it has been the scene of operation for scientific ex- petitions from all parts of the world, Erosion has facilitated the exposure of these fossil remains and has caused the rugged contour of this section to assume the most fantastic and unique shapes. There is a wealth of scenic features with a wide range of exquisite coloring which cannot be found elsewhere"

Storm Tossed Sailors Spend
 Thdr Days in Prayer

New York. April 29 UP)-Praye- and Bible readings sustained 10 shipwrecked sailors through eight days of torture in . wave-buffeted Mfetboat, it was revealed when the yacht Amida reached port with sur- vivors of the four-masted schooner James E. Coburn.
 Eleven men abandoned the Co., burn. registered from New Bedford. MasA< when it foundered on a voy- aga from Baltimore to Martinique. They were without food or water after the first four days. Three of them were white men, the rest Me- sroes. While smashing seas broke against the sides of their 20-foot yawl each man prayer to his own conception of deity.
 One of the white men-W. E. Mill liken. engineer-became temporarily mad: his hysterical mutterings add ed to the babel of prayers. One of the Negroes, Gaaw Sargent. 6O-year old cook, died; his body was not thrown overheard because the other 10 men in the boat were too weary for the exertion involved.
 Captain Jose J. Pereira of the Co., burn was the only survivor who could give a coherent account of the ter ror-laden days before smoke from the yacht Amida curled over the horizon and the men in the lifeboat knew rescue was at hand.
 Captain Sydney Mclaughlin of the Amida, which arrived last night. said he was IS miles of course when he sighted the yawl. The survivors were not told that the rescue was rendered possible only by accident.
 Canned meat and hardtack were put into the yawl when the schooner was abandoned. Salt water soaked ths crackers, however. and despite scanty rations the meat soon was gone. Four days before they were saved there was no food or water aboard.
