TWO PERCENT
 INCREASE IN
 INCOME TAXES
Senator Borah Advocates Higher Rate-Rea-
 sons Are Given

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.-A two per cent increase in income taxes in addition to discontinuing the one percent reduction of the current year, is advocated by Sena- tor William E. Borah, of Idaho He told newspaper men he thought a two per cent increase was neces- sary in View of the impending de- ficit.
 A deficit expected by the Admin istration at the end of the fiscal year will be at least $355 ,000, ,000 This figure was arrived at by add ing the appropriations for unem- ployment and farm relief to the routine expenditures which alone will account for a $180,000,000 de- ficit. Should the loans to farmers for seeds, etc, be set at $60 000,0 900 instead of 25,000,000 the deficit would total that much more.

WANTSOF NAVY
 ARE SET FORTH i RIGHT OFF BAT
Secretary Adams Mak es
 Straight Forward Re- port to President
MORE MAN POWER AND
 MORE PAY; PROMOTION
Bans Against Certain Pub
 licity, Other Issues / Are Featured

WASHINGTON, Dec. o.-lSecre- tary Adams sailed straightaway into a statement of the wants of the Navy for men and money today in his annual report.
 Addressing President Hoover, he called for more man power, better pay and promotions at regular in tervals to prevent the "stagnation' of officers through long periods in the same grade.
 The Navy Secretary pointed out that the present level of compen- sation was II per cent above that received in 1908, but said the cost of living had more than doubled since that time.
 Other legislative proposals for which he advocated Congressional approval included:
 Authorization to modernize the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idaho;
 Establishment of a maya! airship base on the Pacific coast;
 Guarantees for conservation of the naval petroleum and aid shale reserves; and
 Bans against photographs, sketch es or maps of vital military and naval defense installations and equipment.
 The increasing importance of avi- ation to the naval forces was evil dent throughout the report. A G. plane patrol unit will be added to both battle and scouting fleets, and two scouting squadrons of 20 planes and 12 planes, respectively, will be attached to new light cruisers.
 More Airplane Carriers
 "A need exists for additional air plane carriers in order to exploit to the full the possibilities of naval aviation in operations with the fleet" Adams said. A West Coast air base was considered essential and selection of a site was urged upon Congress at an early date, whether or not the Navy ordered construction of new giant diri- gible.
 During the year the number of enlisted men was not adequate to man fully all types of ships, and it was necessary to operate most types of ships with allowances which were considerably under the actual complement of the ships"
 Navy Not Prepared
 The allowances averaged but SIS percent of the actual complement of the ships, which the Secretary said docs not keep Navy fully prepared for war"
 Although Ernest Lee Jahncke, As- sistant Secretary, has been active in curtailing work at Naval shore stations as an economy measure, the report found there were more navy yards on the east coast than could be economically maintained. :"
 The undertaking of submarine replacement program was proposed. During the past year, upkeep costs have increased. The report added that due principally to the age of a large number of submarines, it is felt the performance of sub marine engineering material is not commensurate with it's maintenance costs"
 The material condition of the fleet was seen as generally good, qualified by the difficulty of main taining efficiency due to the age
