URGE NEW PLAN
 0F SAMOAN LAW
Bingham Radios Result Of Con-
 ference to Washington

Washington, Oct. 10 P)-A new form of government for American Samoa similar to that in the Virgin Islands has been agreed upon by tho American Samoan commission and chiefs of the South Sea Islands.
 Senator Bingham of Connecticut, chairman. radioed his office yester- day from the Cruiser Omaha the re- suits of the investigation.
 The commission had completed its inquiry and signed a preliminary re- port Tuesday, recommending Amer ican citizenship for the 10000 in habitants of the islands as well as a bill of rights in a proposed new or ganic law.
 We believe,' the message said, the navy has done remarkably fine work but that a Samoan legislature should make laws subject to the veto of the governor with right of appeal to the president.
 Every effort has been made in our recommendations to preserve Samoan customs and prevent alien ation of land by Samoa. The con- mission recommends that the presi, dent appoint a governor for as long a term as possible using either naval, military or civilian personne as seems best to him and the same as in the Virgin Islands"
 | The commission recommended the right of the people to appeal i'm. portant criminal and civil cases tc
New Britain herald., 1930-10-10

The recommendations were approv- ed by the important chiefs. The commission reminded them all pres ent laws continued in force until the congress passes and the president approves an organic act.
 The Samoan Islands were ceded to the United States 30 years ago. Only last year congress ratified the seces- sion. The islands have been govern ed by a naval officer designated by the president.
 The governor was, next to the president, given full authority over all criminal and civil matters in the islands. Criticism of this has recur- red.
 Senator Bingham, who was born in Hawaii and spent much of his early life on Pacific islands. became interested in Samoan conditions and initiated the movement to grant the Samoans more liberal form of gov ernment.
 The commission sailed from Pago Paso Wednesday for Hawaii en route back to the United States.

BR|TTEN IRKED BY
 DRY EXPENDITURES
Says Money Needed by Navy
 for Defense

Washington. Oct 10 UP)- Chairman Britten's house naval committee will examine, critically, the navy's latest order curtailing personnel and tonnage.
 Britten, advocate of building up our fleet to London naval treaty limits, announced yesterday that such an examination will be made, and that the committee will check the proposed naval appropriation re- aductons against requested increases in appropriations for prohibition en- torcement.
 He made it clear that he approves Secretary of the Navy Adams navy reorganization program calling for reduction of 4,S00 men and elim- ination of 120,000 tons-a beginning in conforming to the treaty's limits. Britten, big navy man. said, how ever, that the Adams cuts made it all the more imperative that this nation build up to the London limits cate gories wherein increases are neces- sary to obtain the parity agreed on in the London conference.
 His committee. Britten said will hold hearings to determine how much the budget bureau has cut naval appropriations as compared with appropriations from other gov ernmental departments.
 "The maintenance of a proper na- tional defense to the highest point of efficiency is much more impor- tant to the peace of mind of the country than further waste of money for the attempted enforce ment of silly and unpopular law, Britten said "I am told that the prohibition bureau has requested an increase of s2,000,00O for enforce ment next year, when all other branches of the government are re- quested by executive order to re- trench.
 of the army and navy are to be reduced in the sole interest of econ omy at time when all Europe is sitting on volcano, l think that re trenchment should be doubly applied to prohibition and other depart ments not directly concerned witl the national defense.
 Congress will not countenance unreasonable naval restrictions 1T favor of further unpopular fedora prohibition enforcement"
