NAVAL PARLEY
Stimson Assures on
Race With Britain

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Secre-
tary of State Stimson said today
that yesterdays white house "break-
fast conference" to push U. S, naval
development was the largest held on
the subject so far The gathering
was attended by Hoover, Stimson,
Naval Secretary Adams, and mem
bers of the navy general board, and
was called largely to dispel fears
that the navy was noS being con-
suited in the current naval sparring
with Great Britain, chief imperialist
rival of the U. S.
every dispatch exchanged be-
tween London and Washington on
the subject of naval reduction"
Stimson assured those present, "has
been submitted to Secretary of
Navy Adams for consideration with
his naval advisors"
Hoovers attention is centered
just now on the cruiser tonnage
problem. Great Britain is especial
ly fighting for heavier cruisers to
insure fast sea journeys to control
its scattered but rebellious empire.
Hoover's chat reveals that the u. S.
is just as reluctant about scrapping
any ships other than those too an
tiquated to be of service when the
imperialist clash breaks.

Brand ReadmissiOn
Of NJ a S | Ov
VOrwaerts Lie

Among the many lies that the
anti-COmintern agents have in
vented and are peddling is the lie
of the readmission of Maslov into
the German Party. The Berlin
"ROte Fahne' of July "a contains
a statement to the effect that the
report of Maslov's readmi,sion to
the Communist Party of Germany
is lie made out of whole cloth.
This statement of the German
Party is of interest also to the
American Communist Party be-
cause Jay Lovestone, who has
been expelled from the COmmu-
mist Party of the United States,
is using the social-demOcratic
"VOrwartz" of Berlin for his in
formation and has, therefore, also
peddled the lie of Maslov's re-
admission on the one hand, and
Letkin's expulsion on the other.
1t is interesting to note that
the same issue of "ROte Fahne"
that contained the statement of
the Central Committee declaring
MaslOv's readmissiOn lie, con-
tanned a signed statement from
Clara ZetlSin again accusing the
'Vorwartz" of lying by its con-
tinuous propaganda concerning
her position in the German Com
munist Party.

United States Marshal Edgar G.
Snyder and Chief Deputy Marshal
Stephen B. Callahan today made a
second levy on the 100000 worth Of
bonds deposited by counsel for Harry
M. Blackmer, former president of the
Midwest Refining Co., in the National
Savings &c Trust Co., under the first
contempt of court rule issued against
Blackmer, who preferred to sojourn in
France to appearing as a witness for
the Government at the two Oil trials
of Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate Of
New York, In the District of Columbia
Supreme Court. There is no other
property of Blackmer in this district,
it is said
An appraisement of the bonds was
made by F. A. Livingston, assistant
Tyler, chief of the Treasury section,
division of securities, at the request OF
Marshal Snyder, who asked the de-
partment to designate experts for that
purpose.
Copies of the notification of the sec
ond levy will be mailed to United States
representatives at Paris, Marseille, Nice,
Monaco and London to be served on
Blackmer should he be located at any
of those places. Special Oil Prosecutor
Atlee Pomerene and United States At

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
TO REVIEW Ssh SUITS
Widows and Children of officers on
Sunken Sub Once Denied
Damages.

The United States Supreme Court,
today, decided to review a decision OF
a lower court which denied award Of
damages under the Public Vessels Act,
to the widows and children Of officers
who died of the Inflated submarine
Ssh, which sank in a collision, on
September IS, 1925.
The Circuit Court Of Appeals for the
Second Circuit had held that the act,
which permits suits in admiralty to be
brought against the United States for
damages caused by a public vessel, did
not apply to members of the United
States naval forces, and the petitioners
asked the Supreme Court to review the
case on the above question.
The petitioners in this case are the
widows and executors Of the captain,
ensign and lieutenant of the Ssh,
which sank in collision with the
steamer City of Rome. Action was
brought against the United States in
each case by the personal representa-
tive for the benefit of the widow and
children of the naval officers, and the
libels alleged that death was caused
through the defective design and equip
ment of the submarine, over which the
naval officers, who died had no control
