ADAMS URGES LARGE AMOUNT
 FOR U. s. NAVY
Secretary Expresses Senti- ment of Experienced
 Officers
FLEET MUST BE KEPT
 READY, TWO PURPO OSES
Appropriation Sought Not Excessive Sum Be
 Used Advantageously

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3o.-- Secretary of Navy Charles F. Adams has directed the Adminis- tration anew to the sentimens in the Navy for larger appropriations. This was in the forefront of his annual report made public today.
 The Secretary told President Hoover, in his report, the Navy has to be kept in tiptop shape not only as a deterrent to war itself but adequate for combat if necessary.
 Tt should be borne in mind" the Navy Secretary says, that many of the most experienced and far-seeing officers feel the amounts are reasonable and not in excess of those being annually appropriated and will be used advantageously. In fact the amounts requested are essential to provide adequately for the navy's minimum requirements within treaty rights"
 Secretary Adams repeated his recommendation of last year -S,r higher pay, when economic condi- tions warrant, as an incentive for younger men to join the navy.

e U R ITS WILL
 RUN AGAIN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Veteran Kansan Will Not Race for Senator = Be-
 lieve Denomination Sure

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov 30- Vice-President Curtis announced this morning that he will not be a candidate for Senator from Kan sas next year but would accept re- nomination for Vice-President if it is rendered to him.
 It is believed by those who claim to know that Vice-President Curtis has cast his lot with President Hoover although he said nothing about the President in his an- nouncement of his candidacy for renomination. The Curtis an- nouncement is accepted by Repub- lican leaders as assuring him the post. It is regarded as unlikely that any Administration RepubH- can would contest him without the support of President Hoover.
 A Free For All In Kansas
 The withdrawal of Vice-Presi- dent Curtis from the field leaves free for all contest for the Re- publican nomination for Senator in Kansas it is believed. The be- lief is general that former Senator Henry J. Allen, friend of President Hoover, will be among those who will seek the nomination.
 Senator Allen was defeated for reelection to the Senate in l930 by George McGill, Democrat, by 18,O00 majority.

INCREASE IN
 BUSINESS IS NOW EXPECTED
Bulging Warehouses Being
 Relieved, Declares Sec. Lamont

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 3O.- President Hoover received the cheering word today that America s bulging warehouses are being re- lieved of the glut of overproduction of manufacturers.
 This was shown in Secretary La- mont's annual report. Stocks of manufactured goods had dwindled so at the end of the fiscal year that the situation was akin to 1928, giving reason to expect increased business.
 As to raw materials, however, the Secretary of Commerce was unable to say the same. Surpluses in general were undiminishted.
 MT. Hoover heard again that his moratorium proposal of last June had salutary effect on business sentiment in this country and abroad which was promptly re- flected in an upturn in commodity and security values"
 Reserve Boards Index
 To measure industrial activity in this country, the Commerce De- partment Chief selected the Fed eral Reserve Boards index of pro- duction. It averaged 20 per cent less last fiscal year than in the one before, and 25 per cent below the unprecedented volume of 1928- 29.
 But despite the abnormal busi- ness situation, MT. Lamont empha- sized, industrial production for the year ended June 30 was of greater volume than in 1920 and 1922, and 31 per cent more than in the de- pression year 1921"
 During the past fiscal year the Department of Commerce index of domestic raw material stocks aver aged "A per cent larger than in the preceding year, while the index for June 1881 was IT per cent above that of the same month of 1930.
 Situation Satisfactory
 "The situation with respect to stocks of manufactured goods is much more satisfactory the re- port said. After rising above pre- depression levels during the fiscal year 1929-30, the index has since turned downward and at the end of the past fiscal year was about 6 per cent below the preceding year and at the same level as in June 1928"
 The Secretary found foreign trade not so bad as indicated by dollars and cents values. Exports were 34 per cent lower in dollar values and imports 37 per cent under the pre- vious year on June 30, but studies of the Department showed that the actual volume of exports was down only 29 per cent. Despite the de- creases exports were two per cent above the 1922-26 average.
