It was admitted, however, that

thorough investigation will be
made. One other boy who ran

NAVY EXPENSES
ARE BOOSTED
MILLIONS
Annual Supply Bill Reaches
S378, ss7, 636, an Increase
of $14,s7s,059 in a Year

The biggest naval budget since
1922 was laid before Congress to-
day when the House Appropria-
tions Committee introduced the
annual naval supply bill carrying
a grand total Of $378, 1877 1856 for
the next fiscal year. Last years
figures are boosted $l4,878.OS9.
The grand total includes $377,.
O36, O86 annual appropriations and
1881, $50 indefinite grants, the
committee reported.
Although the bill, coming on
the heels Of the London naval
conference, boosts the Navy's
costs, the committee reported
that huge future savings viii re-

Funds for Cruisers
With the London pact signed,
the bill carries funds for 10
cruisers of the 1O,0O0-ton, eight
inch gun type, three of which
had been held up by President
Hoover pending the conference
result.
The bill makes q single cut Of
$4,000 as a direct result Of the
pact, resulting from elimination
of the third block of five cruisers
in the 15-cruiSer program. This
sum had been appropriated for
preliminary work.
Summing UP the financial
aspect of the conference, the
committee said:
From the financial point Of
view with which we view the
matter i'm connection with the
pending and future naval
budgets, we find . most prom

will not be greatly affected,

sums WI be saved on account

replacement costs, and attend

ance and operation. which are
all effectively circumscribed BY
this new agreement"
The committee warned, how.
ever, that naval costs win 60 up
in the future as the fleet ages.

memory. The Parker nomination
came to Q friendly Senate q
month ago, with prospects Of be
ing, confirmed within few days
by m overwhelming vote.
The shifting political tides later
swung against Parker until it
seemed he might be rejected by a
two 10 one vote. Then followed
another shift in his favor and
against him, until as the Senate
approached the final vote, both
sides were predicting victory.
Sensational charges featured
the debate as well as remarkable
political nnaneuvers. The charge Of
Senator AshurSt CD Of Arizona
that one Senator was offered a
Federal judgeship to vote for
Parker, was the highlight.
Ashurst SqueIched
He named Senator Dill CD Of
Washington, as the Senator ap,
proached and Dill dismissed tbs
charge rather lightly by saying the
offer came from q personal
friend" o Republican who did not
speak either for President Hoover
or Judge Parker. Ashurst there
, upon absolved the President and
Judge Parker Of any connection
with the offer.
Efforts Of the opposing sides to
win votes subjected the Senate to
tremendous political pressure. The
American Federation Of Labor and
the Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People fought
Parker vigorously. The Admins
tration was just as active in his
behalf.
There was one amusing political
development in the battle. It was
the revelation Of a letter written
Walter r.. Newton, a Hoover sec
rcCary, by Joseph M Dixon, Assist
ant Secretary of the Interior.
Dixon urged Parker's appointment
as q master political stroke" to
keep North Carolina Republican.
Seek Heads for BIunder
Newton somehow sent the letter
to the Attorney General. who in
turn forwarded it to the Senate,
where Senator Mcclellan cd Of
Tennessee, discovered it and made
it public. High Republican lead
ers since have beer crying for the
heads Of both Newton and Dixon
ever since.
The Senate was due to vote at
1880. p. m. under a unanimous
consent agreement. The vote will
by no means end the Parker war
fare, since organized labor and
the negro associations intend to
make his nomination a political
issue in every northern and Dor
der State. .
