 It was difficult to estimate the exact nature and extent of the movement. The admiralty issued a guarded statement that shore leave had been cancelled, maneuvers suspended, and ships ordered to port. An investigation of the rat ings' grievances started immedi- ately.
 Fleet pinnaces which came ashore to receive mails to-day at Invergordon, Sco land, were manned by marines instead of by the usual ratings. The fleet re- mained anchored in Cromarty Firth.
 It was reported that lower rat ings of H. M. s. York had decided to join the protest against wage cuts, and that thus all the ships of the Atlantic fleet were involved. Differences in reduction of pay of men and officers, as much as ten per cent between ratings and lower officers, was believed partly responsible for the sailors demon strations.
 The disturbances aroused doubt of the advisability of cutting the pay of the armed forces simul- taneously with those of civil ser wants and workers.
 The ships of the Atlantic fleet include H. M. s. Hood, largest bat tleship in the world, the Nelson and the Rodney, floating fortresses, the Warspite, Repulse, Dorsetshire, Norfolk, York, Exeter, Valiant, and Malaya.
 The great Atlantic fleet dropped anchor at Invergordon, on Cro- marty Firth, Scotland, five days ago preparatory to starting man. euvers.
 British tars, hundreds of them, trooped into Invergordon on shore leave and in their canteens and other meeting places began to dis cuss the pay cuts approved by "or- ders in council" quasi -dictatorial methods adopted to meet the na- tional financial emergency, in Lon- don.
 While the Hood, Rodney, Nelson and their smaller companion ships rode at anchor in the waters of the Firth, their 15 inch and 16 inch guns overlooking a tranquil Scot tish scene touched by the first breath of autumn. the sailors talked and grumbled. Soon their protests became louder. And by Saturday night. the day cuts be- came effective. they had engaged in scenes unprecedented in the his- tory of sea going nation which had spread it's power throughout the world by men and ships.
 Sailors vented their wrath on windows of the canteen at the naval recreation ground. smashing them. Cries of disgust and dissat- isfaction rose to tumult and soon

 Because it is the one great poii- tical forum left. the senate is in- fluential in pitching the key of political thinking in the country.
 This year the democrats have more seasoned debators, more sea- soned legislative brains and a more provocative squad of gallery rousers than usually falls to the lot of minority party, especially a party which on 8 certain cold November morning in 1928 was reeling under defeat which many predicted then would leave 1t crippled for years.
 Five of the new democratic sen- ators have had long experience in Washington.

It is 20 miles west of Los siemouth, home of Premier J. Ramsay Macdonald, across the Firth of Moray, and 70 milV, southeast of Scapa Flow, where the German fleet was scuttled.

Due to the fact that the balance in the local unemployment fund at the present time is the smallest since the drive to aid those out of work has begun, it was announced to-day by Chairman William M. Harris that all those working un- der the relief system will have to Hay off'' from work on Friday. This drastic step is necessary, 1t was stated, in order to give the fund an opportunity to rehabilitate itself.
 For the past few weeks contribu- tions and donations have been dropping, gradually, due to some unknown reason. The result has been that the disbursements have exceeded the receipts and the safe ty deposit in the funds coffers has been eaten into.

Vain Hunt for
 Missing Flyers

lCOnllnueQ ITO1Il fdSe in a plane on which he had spent his inheritance, another an experi- enced German war pilot, and the third a youthful Portugese adven- ture seeker-should be added yet to the eleven listed as lost in at tempting the perilous westward crossing.
 Search was renewed to-day for the flyers despite the fact that weather conditions were not good along the Canadian coast. Thor ough search was made through New England yesterday.
 Air field attaches, who had wait ed with lighted fields for the ar rival of the flyers all Monday night recalled that the landing of the monoplane Bremen from Ireland on Greenley Island in 1928 was un- reported for more than AS hours
 They expressed the belief that the Esa-only so miles from Cape Race at 2:40 p. m. Monday when it was sighted by the steamer Pennland-might have landed in some section of the sparcely settled and desolate country between New Foundland and the New England coast where communication facili- ties were lacking.
 They pointed out that the plane, it's gasoline. tanks empty or nearly so, might float for some time even though it was a land plane, un- equipped with pontoons. Possibly a fishing smack had picked them up, it was said. There are many fishing vessels in the vicinity but few equipped with radio.
 It was virtually certain the fly CTS had not reached New England. A systematic search by about 50 coast guard vessels and airplanes along the entire New England coast yesterday failed to reveal the slightest trace of the plane.
 No systematic search has been made of the more barren country between Maine and Newfoundland, however.
 The presence of the three air ad- venturers in the maritime prov inces was a distinct surprise when the Pennland sighted them Mon- day. There was no mistaking the Identification. The plane flew low and it's lettering-D-2072 - was plainly seen.
 The flyers had started from Juncal airport, Lisbon, Sunday at 4:25 B. s. T., intending to fly by way of the Azores and Bermuda. They were sighted over the Azores on schedule. Then nothing further was heard of them until the Penn land sent in its report. They were far to the north of the most direct route to New York.
 The Pennland meSsaPed that the flyers headed in the direction of Halifax was about $50 miles dis Rody and his companions could land within half an hour.
 Watchers Lose Hope
 Boston, Sept 16-(UP)-Watch CTS along the New England coast held little hope to-day for the safety of three European airmen lost on a projected nonstop flight from Portugal to New York aboard the monoplane Esq.
 No word had come from ships in north Atlantic waters to relieve the growing fear that the Esa's crew had perished somewhere be- tween here and a point 395 miles east of Halifax. N. S., where the plane was last sighted Monday.
 A dozen coast guard boats on regular patrol duty along the New England coast continued to watch for some trace of the missing mon oplane but no organized hunt was underway.

group among the unruly tars started singing the Red Flag" battle cry of the communist inter- nationale.
 Later they returned to their ships but residents of the village, scarcely able to realize what was going on, could hear shouts from the sailors aboard the men of war after Tights out' had been sig nailed. The ratings reportedly re- fused to resume their duties until their grievances had received off, cial consideration and lolled about the decks of the battleships Malaya and Warspite playing cards and singing Monday afternoon, the noise of their demonstration car- ried ashore by sharp autumnal breezes off the Firth.
 Pay cuts authorized by an admir- atty order issued Saturday includ- ed: chief petty officers reduced one shilling a day to seven shillings and six pence; leading seaman re- duced II pence to four shillings and four pence; able seaman re- duced one shilling to three shil- lings; ordinary seaman reduced nine pence to two shillings.
 Able seamen's pay was reduced 25 per cent, while lower ranking officers received ten per cent cut and captains only three per cent.
 Comparison of Wages
 Washington, Sept 16-(UP)- News of unrest in the British navy was received by American naval officers with keen interest but without creating apprehension of similar trouble in the navy of the United States. ..
 A comparison of base pay sched- ules of the two navies shows a great discrepancy in favor of the American enlisted man from chief petty officer down to the lowest naval rating.
 Chief petty officers receive $1.S0 a day in the British navy and $4.20 in the American. The next lower rating in the American navy re- ceives $2.S0 day compared with s1.04 received by a. leading sea- man in the British navy.
 A British able seaman is paid 72 cents and a non-rated first class American seaman $1.80 a day. The British ordinary seaman is paid AS cents and a non-rated third class American seaman 70 cents day. This latter rating is the lowest paid in the American navy.
 American base pay is increased by 10, 15, 20 and 25 per cent after increasing terms of service. That these pay schedules are attractive is indicated by the fact that recent reports showed reenlistments in the American navy were between 95 and 9S per cent of those whose terms of service expired. In the boom times of 1924-29 re-enlist- ments averaged about 80 per cent. It is understood that the navy has a waiting list of men who would like to join.

A RESIDENCE THAT
 KEEPS PACE WITH
 INCREASED NEEDS
Low Prices Make This The Time To Build Here Is A House Worth Building And Worth Living In

To-day, prospective home owners face greater opportunity to realize the mouse of their dreams" than has presented itself for more than ten years past. Because of present conditions, a moderate sized house will cost from 10 to IS per cent less to build than it did year ago. It is unlikely that this condition will prevail much longer, and such money saving opportunities will not come again for another five years perhaps ten years.
 The building dollar is worth from 10 to IS cents more right now. Any one who contemplates building sometime in the future should make every effort to take advantage of these savings by starting to build as quickly as possible.
 As an aid to those who are now interested in building, the Water bury Democrat, through arrange ment with House 6 Garden maga- zine, is publishing plans and pie turss of The House That Grows"

a residence designed especially for this series by Leigh French. we'll known New York architect. Two views of this house are shown here to-day. Details will follow. The plans have been published previous iy, but will appear again at a later date.
 The feature which makes this house of particular note is that it begins as comparatively small place appropriate, in size and in cost, to the needs of small family. After a number of years have passed, and the family increases. the house can be made to grow to meet the increased demands. The house is so designed that these ad- ditions lend more charm and beauty to the house, enhancing the fine lines of the original unit.
 The plans lend themselves to variety of building materials, to CO., incide with conditions prevailing in local communities.

GOVERNOR PARKS
 ANNUAL MESSAGE
TERRITORIAL EXECUTIVE UR- GEES ECONOMY IN APPRO-
 RELATIONS

JUNEAU, Mar. 4, (Sp >cial to The Gateway -Voicing a Powerful plea for economy in appropriations. urging the elimination of every thing except the absolute essen tials of government, Gov. George A. Parks delivered his third bien- nial message to the Alaska Legis- lature, meeting in the hall of the House of Representatives
 The Governor emphasized the soundness of Alaska's basic indus tries and predicted early develop ment of the pulp and paper indus try, and asserted that temporary setbacks resulted in curtaile q revenues making it imperative that current grants of money from the Treasury be sliced to the bone
 Responsibility Pointed Out
 You are confronted with very great responsibility, perhaps the greatest that ever has been faced by any other legislature of this Territory, he said. Those who are charged with the administra- tion of the Territorial government have observed with deep appre- henSion the increasing demands on our treasury We know they cannot continue without distress ing consequences; you alone can control them. Appropriations must be carefully considered and the strictest economy observed,
 T regret that under present conditions it is necessary for ne to come before you and recom- mend such drastic reductions in appropriations but I am aware Ot no such other method whereby we can provide for an efficient ad- ministration of our Territorial gov ernment and not exceed our reye- nues during the next two years.
 Conditions Are Temporary
 Fortunately, we are c cert Il that the present adverse condi- tions are only tempodary. We know that our industries are organized on a sound basis, and a return to prosperity is not questioned. But our plans must be made now for the next two years and for this purpose we must assume there will not be any change during that period
 "The highest degree of co-opera- tion," he added, "has been receiv- ed from all Territorial officers and to this cordial support is due whatever degree of efficiency and success that may have been at tained.' The administration of each". he declared, had been characterized for efficiency"
 Makes General Survey
 Gov. Parks surveyed conditions generally, citing the TT percent population increase noted in the Federal decennial census report, and declaring, i've have passed the period of de9linej Proposed industrial developments will at tract new residents; we may ex- pect an increase in population from this source in the next year
 Alaska's mines produced $16,- O66, 1000 in 1929, gain of $2,OOO,0O0 over the preceding year, but in 193O they lost about $2,500,00O, due, depression in copper, other base metals There is every req son to believe that gold production will increase during the next two
