NAVY ECONOMY
HOOVER HIT

The Administration economy
program of operation is seriously
impairing the strength of the
Navy, Rear Admiral Frank B.
upham, chief of the Bureau of
Operations, declared today.
In his annual report to Secre-
tary Adams, Upham differed with
President Hoover's message to
Congress which said the Army
and the Navy have been main
tanned in a high state of eff
cheney. .-,
Upham reported, in effect, the
Navy was being starved of both
men and ships. He said:
: During the past year the
number Of ships in active COM
mission was materially reduced.

LAND FOR RENO
SCHOOL D. K,

The lengthy controversy over
the site of the Reno High School
was settled today when the Dis
trict commissioners authorized
the purchase of six and a half
acres of unimproved land south
of Chesapeake ST., between Ne
braska Ave. and Fortieth St.,
from the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany for $109,7o0.
Assistant Engineer Commits.
sioner H. L. Robb announced
that another acre and a, half of
improved land is to be purchased
to complete the site. 1t is esti-
mated that the remaining land
will cost approximately $4,000,
and that the school building will
cost $1,200,000.
Selection of a site for the high
school has been held up since
last winter as the result of re-
puted agreement between Senator
Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota,
and Engineer Commissioner John
C. Gotwals, to locate the high
school on a site at Thirty-ninth
and Fessenden SITS. N. w.
An elementary school was to
be constructed at this site, but
residents of the neighborhood
headed by Senator Nye objected
to placing the elementary school
there. favoring the site as one
for the high school.

SEEKS TOEND
DEADLOCK
Moses Expected to Withdraw
From Fight to Open Way
For a Compromise

A Senate deadlocked on the
election of a President pro tenn
was to pause long enough in its
balloting today to receive the
budget recommendations of
President Hoover.
The message may be read to a
rather empty chamber while Re
publicans debate plans for COM
promising the inSurgent revolt
against Senator Moses of New
Hampshire. FOR. three ballots
Moses ran behind Senator Pitt
man of Nevada, the Democratic
nominee. while 13 rebels cast pro-
test votes for other Republicans.
Majority Is Required
On the record, Pittman led for
the office with AZ votes against
80 for Moses. Senators Norris,
McNary, Jones and Capper re-
ceived the scattered insurgent
votes. Election requires a ma
jority vote.
The opinion prevailed that an
other day of deadlocking balloting
would be followed by Moses with
drawal. If he does. the Repub-
licans probably will offer a COM
promise nominee on whom both
regulars and insurgents can agree,
since together they have nu-
merical superiority.
There we're some surprises on
the first three ballots. The in
surgent bloc was Joined by Sen,
ators Capper, Howell, Jones and
Thomas Idaho), who usually
votes with the Administration
Then Senators Brookhart and
Schall, acknowledged insurgents,
voted with the regulars for Moses
Both felt indebted to him because
he aided them when their own
seats in the Senate we're under
attack.
Issue Raised On Barbour
The contest over the office
was overshadowed for a while BY
the constitutional issue raised BY
Pittman during the seating ol
Senator Barbour (R) of New
Jersey. Pittman sponsored a res
olution. referred to the Senate
Judiciary Committee, declaring 6
Senator actually became a Sen
ator from the first day Of hi
elected term. The Senate will
pass on this question after the
Judiciary Committee reports or
Pittman's resolution.

thing like that"
