BILLION FOR NAVY
PARITY IS ASKED
Bill for 1896, 995, 900 Expend.
iture Over Eight Years
Urged by Britten.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Britten of the House naval
committee today introduced bill fer
936,995,o 900 of warship construction,
which he holds is necessary for Ameri-
can parity with Great Britain under the
London naval treaty.
Making public the provisions Of the
measure, he asserted that no treaty at
all was better than one which resulted
in enormous disbursements for ships
of British preference" and reiterated
his intention of holding exhaustive
hearings" to determine whether this
program will properly provide for ma
tional defense in an emergency"
The measure, based on figures fur
nished by Secretary Adams, would au-
thorize the construction of $4,000 tons
in light 6-inch gun cruisers at cost
of 1892, 100000; $500 tons in destroy
ers at cost of $3.50, o00, 900; 42,100 tons
in submarines at cost of $122, 000, 900
and $4,000 tons in aircraft carriers, to
cost sos 100000. The expenditures
would be spread over period OF eight
years.
These figures, totaling $497, 800, 900,
Britten said, we're in addition to con-
struction costing $439, 10000 already
authorized, with the result that $780,
995 900 must be spent before we can
achieve even theoretical parity on the
seas with Great Britain"
Like Chairman Hale of the Senate
naval committee, Britten believes that
the treaty involves a departure from
the established American policy, of
building up the feet of 10,000-ton
cruisers of 8-inch guns, and a wide
cruising radius.

President Selects Special
u. S. Counsel in Teapot
Dome and Other Oil Cases
to Fill Vacancy on Bench.

ABOUT APPOINTMENT
Watson Approves Choice of Phila-

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Owen j. Roberts of Philadel-
phia, special Government counse
in the Teapot Dome and other OF
cases, has been nominated by
President Hoover for the vacancy
on the Supreme Court. The NOM
ination was sent this afternoon to
the Senate, which two days age
rejected John ]. Parker of North
Carolina for the same place.
If the Presidents latest selec-
ton is confirmed-and no imme-
diate dissent was heard-the re-
suit will be to shift one place on
the court from the South to the
North. Justice Sanford, who died
in March, was from Tennessee.
Justice Sanford, like Roberts
was a Republican, and so is Judge
Parker.
In selecting Roberts, Mr.. Hoover con-
suited, among others, various members
of the Senate. BY virtue of the close
connection between the Senate investi-
CATION and the litigation which followed,
Senators have followed Roberts activi-
ties as oil counsel with particular care.
Just Passed 55th Birthday.
Roberts has Just passed his fifty-fifth
birthday. He has practiced law in
Philadelphia since 1898.
Thirty years ago he first entered the
public service as assistant district at
torney of Philadelphia County. He
served for a number of years as pro-
fessor Of law at the University Of PENN
sylvania.
During the World War he was spe-
cial deputy attorney general, repre-
senting the Federal Government In
espionage cases in Pennsylvania.
Those who Endorsed him for the Su-
pre.4Ie Court included Senator Reed,
Republican, of Pennsylvania.
Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader, also approved the
day at the White House.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
prosecutor of the oil investigation and
himself distinguished lawyer, has had
a particularly close association with
Roberts during the oil prosecutions
Today Walsh was out Of town and could

tions.

tee and one of the leaders in the fight
against Chief Justice Hughes and Judge
Parker, was elated at the news of Rob-
erts' selection.

mittee which must pass on the nominal
ton, Senator Norris withheld any pub
lie expression. The nomination will

ported to Be Critically Ill
in Casualty Hospital.

Earl D. Church, commissioner of
pensions, formerly resident of Hart

Commissioner Church had been in

to return to the Office, but grew worse
afterward.
Mrs. Church is with her husband
here. The couple came to Washington

ment as pensions commissioner. For
merly he was an insurance man of
the Connecticut city.
