DiSpIeaSed at What Is Termed
'AdmiraIs' Propaganda and

A determined fight between
President Hoover and the big

sured today, with evidences of
growing opposition in several
quarters to the Administrators

severe slashes in the Nays

fiscal year must be scaled down
from a proposed total of $401,-
100000 to approximately $780,
900, 900.

ing some form Of punitive
measures"
President Hoover has disclaimed
any intent to "scuttle the Navy"
as some Of the Navy advocates
have attributed to him, and is
represented as approving an in
crease of $15,O00.000 for new
naval construction, making a
total Of $65, 100000.

The New Champion.

For the tenth time in the past eleven
years the British Open championship
golf trophy comes to the United States
and the man who is bringing it has
thus rounded out golf career equal to
that of the best in the game, with the
exception of the incompatible Jones, of
course, and has done it under the
heavy handicap Of still bearing wounds
from the Great War suffered when he
participated in some of the bittereSt
battles with the Tank Corps of the
British Army. Tommy" Armour is
the man and in scoring a fine seventy
one to lead the field with the total Of
two hundred and ninety-six strokes for
the seventy-two holes he added the
British championship to his other ma jor
conquests, the American Open and the
Professional Golfers Association Tour
naments and the Canadian Open, the
only professional ever to have accom-
plished this feat. Tommys Washing
ton friends, and they are legion. are
particularly gratified at his success.
The National Capital knows him we'll.
For three years he was a professional
at the Congressional Country Club, the
position his brother now holds. Con-
gratulations are in order and are freely
given to a great golfer.

faith in assurances of good. There are
no such singers now as greeted the

There is no other bird, as far as We

thrush at the eternal job of getting its
dinner.
Long after the others have retired to
their rests, the thrush can be seem in

of the sort, in which it has frequently
