There will be no league ball
games here next Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday, the El Paso SER

During the early part of the

the county became somewhat par

GUFFAWS: GREET
NAVY POISON
GIVEN HOOVER
Naval Economy Program Sent
to Chief by Adams Seen by
Politicians as Every Funny"
BY WILLIAM c. MURPHY, Jr.

Rack stage of sWaShington's S
gaudy political show there are
hearty outlaws about the prize
package of political poison the
Navy Department handed Presi-
dent Hoover wrapped up as a
plan for cutting naval expendi-
lures.
While the incident Is also laden
with serious pOtentialities-em-
bodying as it does the first real
threat of open disagreement In
the Hoover Cabinet-it appeals
to politicians as excruciatingly
funny.
In the long list of proposed
reductions prepared by Navy Sec
retary Charles Francis Adams and
his subordinates it is difficult to
find one that is not laden with
political embarrassments for the
Administration.
Two States Problems
The recommendations to close
the navy yard at Boston and the
naval training station at New
port, r. l., are very embarrassing,
from a political viewpoint.
Massachusetts and Rhode Is
land are the only Northern
States which went Democratic in
1928 and since that time Repub.
lican strategy has been concen-
trated on trying to re-convert
them to the G. 0. p. for 1882.
Some Embarrassing Cuts
Then there is the group Of
recommendations to slash the
personnel of the Navy and
Marine Corps by about 5000 and
to eliminate several thousand
civilian employees.
Perhaps the master-strOke was
the idea of saving few thousand
dollars by laying up the historic
frigate "ConStitutiOn," otherwise
"Old Ironsides," which the Navy
has heen exhibiting from Ort to
port during the past summer.
Don't Give Up the Band"
Another proposal along the
same line was for the abolition
of the Navy Band, thereby
destroying an institution Of
which the people generally have
been exceedingly proud and at
the same time adding to the
UNEMPLOYED.
PostpOnsment of construction
of the new S3,OOO,OOO Naval Hos
pital in Washington is another
idea which the Navy must have
conceived with its tongue in its
cheek.
