ME PROBES STORY
 OF NEBRASKA BOND
Continues Inquiry Into $500
 Given "SeC0nd" Norris

Lincoln Neb., Oct. 23 (UP)-The history of $500 bond used to finance the short-lived primary cam paign of George W. Norris, grocer, against Senator George W. Norris. republican, was sought today by Chairman W. P. Nye of the senate committee Investigating primary cx- penditures.
 Nye announced he would resume lis inquiry into the Norris vs. Nor ris primary muddle which ended in nomination of the veteran senator over w. M. Stebbins after the grocer had been ruled out of the race.
 Stebbins has claimed he alone was responsible for entry of the grocer into the campaign and ad- mitted it was he who gave the man a $500 bond for filing expenses. Sen. Norris charged Stebbins was the goat" of 'outside influences and the power trust which, he said, wanted him defeated. Nye announced he would trace the bond after he learned that a $525.17 draft given Victor, Seymour, recently resigned chairman of the western republican senatorial committee, by Walter Head, Omaha banker and utility chairman, equalled the price of the $500 bond given Grocer Norris by Stebbins.
 Called Part of Loan
 The $525.17 draft by Head to Sey- mour was part of a sl,000 personal loan" the Omaha banker gave to Seymour, according to testimony supplied by Victor Smith, Heads secretary, at yesterdays committee session in Omaha.
 Smith also said Head gave the money merely as a personal favor to determine whether Samuel Me Kelvic, former governor and now a farm board member, or Arthur J. Weaver, present governor, could win over Norris. The poll showed that neither could win, Smith said.
 Smith denied that any of the $4,. 900 contributed for the Norris poll by Head had gone for any other purpose. He said he had fears that the $1,O0o personal loan to Seymour may have figured in the grocer's case. This, however, would be A distinct shock to himself and Head, Smith said.

NAVY BOARD HAS PLANS FOR FLEET
Program Would Reach Limits
 Set by Treaty

Washington, Oct. 23 LP-A ncv; building program to bring the United States fleet up toward the limits of the London treaty has been drawn by the navy general board.
 It is to be studied by President Hoover as basis for recommenda- tions to congress, which is to take up the question of naval appropria- tions.
 The exact contents of the boards program have not been made pub lie, leaving undetermined just how far it's members have gone in adopt ing the economy ideas of the ad- ministration. The rate at which new building and replacement would be undertaken under the plan remained Undisclosed.
 There have been authoritative in- dications, however, that the board favored building up to the full limit of 135,000 tons for aircraft carriers. Including one ship just contracted for. the present tonnage is 79,S00, . in three ships. Several vessels of
 
 built.
 Modernization by equipment of the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idahos with the latest armament, gun controls and defensive armor, is provided for. Other battleships also would be rejuvenated during the next several years.
 Plan Submarines
 Submarine construction recom- mended is understood to involve re- placement of some 25,000 tons of obsolescent and R type boats with vessels. displacing between 1000 and 1900 tons.
 Destroyer construction is believed to form an important part of the recommendation for immediate outlays.
 In cruisers the only construction not already authorized will be in the six inch gun class. This category was the center of the extensive !. posi- ton to the treaty among high naval officers but the type is favored by the new chief of operations. Ad- miral William V. Pratt.
 The United States has ten such cruisers afloat, all fairly new. It may build under the treaty another 73,o00 tons within the category but there have been numerous indica- tions that all might not be con- structed.
 Only four of the IS ten thousand ton. eight-inch gun cruisers allotted the United States under the treaty, remain to be undertaken The con- struction of all has been authorized. the last to be started in 1885.
 Estimates of the cost of bringing the fleet up to treaty limits in every category have run ass high as s1.- 000,00o,0o0 but the administration has indicated it believes a consid- erably smaller outlay sufficient

 MRS. M'C0RM|CK
Claims They Show Mayor Thompson's Animosity to Her

Chicago, Oct. 23 R Congress- woman Ruth Hanna Mccormick to- day pointed to unsigned circulars she said had been sent to Negro voters as vindication of her claim to complete lack of political alliance with Mayor William Hale Thomp- son.

 Her statement added that she had been informed the circulars contain ed a ''malicious~and unjustifiable at- tack upon her late husband, Medill Mccormick.
 While I regret that the an nouncement of the mayors opposi- ton to me was not made more open ly and regret that it is based on a malicious and unjustifiable attack on my late husband, l am pleased" said the Mccormick statement, that the mayors attitude is thus definitely disclosed.
 His action will, am sure throw a new light on my own political as sociations. which have been gener- allv misrenresented in the hostile press for the last two years"
 The statement continuet: T have repeatedly said publicly that I never had a political alliance with Mayor Thompson" She added that the cir cular appealed for votes for all re- publican candidates except Mrs. Mccormick and cited this as evil dence of Mayor Thompson's ani- mostly" toward her.
