NEW YORK HALLS
AMERICAS HEROES
Capt. Fried and Aides to
March on Triumphal Trail
up Broadway.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 28.-Capt.
George Fried and his mates of the
Florida rescue were headed into another
storm today gale Of cheers and a
blizzard of ticker tape.
Their course lay over the famous
heroes trail, from the Battery Up Broad
way to the City Hall, to permit the city's
thousands to voice their admiration for
the skill and daring which saved 80 lives
from the sinking Italian freighter 100
miles of the Virginia capes last We'd
nesday.
The sound of his name echoing amid
cheers against the walls of Broadway
SkyScraperS was not new to Capt. Fried.
Three years ago he met similar re-
ception when he docked the liner Pres
tdent Roosevelt after taking 25 off the
British freighter Antinoe.
Aides Share in Glory.
Sharing in the plaudits of the crowd
and the honorS which the city heaped
upon the captain were Chief Officer
Harry Manning, who commanded the
life boat in it's perilous trip to the side
OF the sinking freighter; Nelson H.
Smith, chief radio operator, and the
eight members of the boats crew.
The program for the parade and re-
ception called for the bringing of Capt.
Fried and his men from Hoboken to
the Battery on the city tug Macon at
noon. An escort composed Of Regulars
from Governors Island and sailors from
the navy yard was ordered for the
march up Broadway.
At city hall Mayor Walker and other
city oft1cials arranged to extend the
greetings Of the city to the heroes and
present them with gold medals Illumi-
mated scrolls extolling their dead also
were prepared for presentation to Capt.
Fried, Manning and Nelson.
A luncheon was arranged at the Ad-
vertiSing Club after the city hall re-
ception.
Three Heroes Speak Over Radio.
After a day spent resting at their
homes, Capt. Fried, Manning and Mel
son spoke over the radio last night
Capt. Fried urged that all credit for
the rescue be given to Manning and
the oarsmen of the lifeboat.
In his talk, Manning described how
the small boat was driven through
the darkness and mounting seas, to the
side Of the sinking ship, how a line
was passed aboard and how the Italian
sailors plunged into the water and were
drawn into the rescue boat.
He paid warn tribute to the pluck
of the shipwrecked men, six of whom
made the dangerous leap despite seri-
GUS injuries.
While five of their shipmates were
in an Italian hospital being treated
for injuries and exposure, ~ mem
bers Of the rescue crew attended church
services twice yesterday. In the eve-
ming they were the guests of Broad

WALSH EXPLAINS
CRUISER BILL FIGHT
Backers See Possibility Of
War With Japan and
Britain, He Says.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Walsh of Montana. in speech
before the Senate today outlining his
reasons for opposing the cruiser bill,
said that those who favor building the
Is ships have in mind the possibility,
FIRST of war with Great Britain, and
second of war with Japan.
He declared that no one has indi-
Gated that the United States Navy as
it now stands was not adequate to meet
results arising out of controversies with
any other countries save the two
mentioned.
He was opposed to the bill, he de-
clared, because he believed 1t would in
terfere with any attempt Of the United
States to obtain further agreements for
the curbing OF naval armament.
Wants Parity by Scaling Down.
The cruiser bill. the Senator declared,
contemplates that England win con-
tinue her traditional practice" of in
tercepting and searching neutral yes
sells in time Of war. and this contempla-
tion, he added, will lead to difficulties.
II am welded to the idea of parity
as between the United States and
Great Britain" Walsh asserted, "but
I should like to see that parity attained
by scaling down, rather than by build
ing up" }.
Senator Walsh declared, however, that
in his opinion there Is no incongruity
in approving the Kellogg treaty and in
passing the cruiser bill.
THE sponsors of the cruiser bill in
the Senate" he said. ARE no less at
tached to the cause of peace than are
the rest of us who may vote against
the measure They equally harbor the
hope of an agreement for the limita-
ton of naval armament. The differ
ence is a difference of view as to how
most certainly to arrive at an agree
ment. fair and just to the United States
Seeks Another Agreement Effort.
mot few of those who will support
the bill take that course, convinced
that by so doing they aid in bringing
about conference and in getting salts
factory results from it. and that to de-
feat the bill will encourage the belief
aboard that there is no purpose on the
part of our government in any event
to build, or that should any purpose
be entertained by the executive branch
it can be circumyented through the
spontaneous or melted opposition of the
Congress.
st confess that my disposition was
at first to support the bill, sharing the
belief that to proceed to build would
lead to an accord, but on reflection /
have convinced myself that another
effort to agree may bring results. and
I am eager that the trial should be
made"

THINKS HOOVER WANTS LIMIT.
House Naval Committee Chairman Cites
Recent Conference.

Recent conference.
After being informed of word from
Miami that Herbert Hoover's Office had
announced the President -elect had not
discussed the pending cruiser bill, Chair
man Britten of the House naval COM
mittee reiterated today his conviction
that Mr.. Hoover would be pleased if the
three-year time limit for construction
in the cruiser proposal now before the
Senate were retained.
Immediately after my recent confer
ence with PreSident-elect Hoover pre-
dicted," Britten said, that the incom-
Ing Hoover administration would be for
an American Navy commensurate with
the world position of the United States,
politically and industrially.
II made this prediction because of
Mr.. HooverS very apparent great inter-
est in the Navy, and no other conclusion
could have been drawn from our con-
versation.
ITO presume that the inclusion of
the time limit in the cruiser bill would
be. pleasing to Mr. Hoover Is but a
natural conclusion and if am wrong,
then am the poorest guesser in the
world
President Coolidge wants the time
clause taken out of the BILL but his
House passed it last year. Chairman
Hale of the Senate naval affairs COM
mittee, who is sponsoring the bill in the
Senate, wants the time limit clause
kept in, and he is confident that he
has enough votes to carry his point.
Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the
leaders in the fight against the time
clause. has said that he would not op-
pose the measure if the time clause
were taken out, but proponents insist
that the time clause be kept in The
fight has hinged largely around that
point for several days. and once that Is
settled, the final vote is believed to be
near.
When the measure was first brought
up. 1t was expected that an attempt
would be made to reduce the number
