CHAIRMAN WOOD DEFENDS HOOVER
 ON NAVY SLASH
Says Certain Naval Of ficers Are Circulating Damn Lies to Hurt the President

Washington. Oct. 22.-(UP).- (UP).-The charge that certain naval officers are circulating "cow- ardly and insidious propaganda" against President Hoover's econ omy program was made to the presit ent to-day by Chairman Wood of the house appropriation committee.
 'They are circulating damn lies to the press." Wood said. with out consultations with Secretary Adams or Admiral Pratt they are seeking to arouse public opinion against MT. Hoover's efforts to cut down expenses. They said the fri- gate Constitution was going to be abandoned. They said the navy band was going to be demolished. They said 5000 sailors were going to be thrown out on the cruel and pitiless world.
 '.None of those things have been considered by Adams, Pratt or the president. They haven't been con- sidered by anyone. These sofiiccrs are too cowardly to sign their own names to their insidious efforts to influence the president. It Is unfair to the president and unfair to the
 country"
