HOOVER'S BACKING
FOR NAVY BILL SEEN
Sponsors of $4,000, 900
Plan Renew Plea for Ac-
ton on Legislation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover's support for enact
ment Of the naval construction pro-
gram at this session was claimed today
by Senate sponsors Of the $4,000, 00C
construction bill. They renewed pleas
to Republican leaders for privileged
status for this legislation.
The bill was recommended by Sec
rotary Adams to carry out In part the
shipbuilding required to bring Ameri-
ca up to its strength under terms of the
London naval limitations treaty.
The House Republican leaders de-
cided to sidetrack it for this session
but met demands Of Navy advocates in
the House for action on both the con-
struction bill and the $3o.OOO.O0O bat
tleship modernization measure which
already has passed the Senate over
whelmingly.

construction bill or the Capper oil en-
barge legislation is to get the right OF
way. Chairman Hale Of the Senate
Naval Committee is going to the floor
with q motion to take up the naval
bill as soon as the pending relief dis
pute is settled. Senator Capper, Re-
publican. Kansas, author of the Oil EN-
barge bill, Is prepared to undertake a
similar step. The issue probably will
be thraShed out on the floor.
With the session drawing nearer the
March . adjournment, advocates of the
oil embargo are opening q drive for
action in the House, too. Aside from
the drought relief and veterans aid
legislation, there is slight prospect for
action oAl other general legislation in the
remaining three weeks, leaders agree,
unless 1t be on the naval construction bill.
The administration virtually pledged it
self to this last Summer, in agreeing to
the limitations upon all classes of naval
ships embodied in the London treaty.
From a Navy expert, meanwhile,
came strong defense Of the battle
ship, which has been condemned as
obSoleScent by House members, who feel
that spending $50, 600, 900 on moderniza-
ton Of three of these craft would be a
waste OF money.

mittee today voted down the motion o.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, tx

sideration Of the World Court Protocol
until next December.
The vote was 10 to 8. Two members
were absent who would have supported
the Walsh motion. but even counting
their votes it would have been defeated
by tie.
As a result, the protocol for Amer
lean adherence to the Court, which
President Hoover sent to the Senate
early this session, Is definitely shelved
during the session:
Extra Session Possibility.
The committee has agreed, however
that If an extra session of Congress Is
called this Spring the Court issue may
be considered then.

who is an outspoken foe to American
adherence, again opposed postponement
until December.

44-HOUR POSTAL
WEEK BILL PASSES
Senate Unanimous in Cutting
Working Period for All
Employees.

BY unanimous vote, the Senate
this afternoon passed the bill estab-
fishing a 44-hour week for postal en-
ployes. The bin had previously passed
the House, and since there were no
amendments added In the Senate, it
goes directly to the President for
signature.
Following an explanation Of the
measure by Senator La Toilette, Re
publican, of Wisconsin, it was ap-
proved on a roll call vote of 80 to o.
The effect of the bill will be to give
Saturday afternoons OF throughout the
year to those postal workers who can
be spared on that day, and q similar
period Of compensatory time on some
other day for those whose services are
required for q longer period than fcur
hours on Saturday.
Action Three Years Ago.
Senator La Toilette explained that q
similar bill passed the Senate three
years ago, but failed to get through
the House at that time. He said It
would benefit 10000 employees In the
postal service throughout the country.
The cost Of the measure has been
estimated at various amounts from ST.
000, 900 upward, but the exact amount
has not been determined. Many postal
employees already enjoy the BENEFITS OF
this program under orders Of the POST
master General in certain cities, but
this bill win place them all on the
same basis.
Step to Shorter Week.
Senator La Toilette said the bill does
not go as far as he would like, but Is a
step toward establishing a shorter work
week in this country and that its pas
sage at this time of unemployment win
set wholesome example to private in
dustrieS.

BRITISH DOLE'S COST
IS HELD $3.50, 900, 900
Official Estimate Predicts Rise and
Warns That Tax Rate Is
Too Low.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PfeSS.
LONDON, February 1.-THE dole, it
is oficially estimated, will cost the Brit
ish taxpayer between $3.50, 100000 and
$275, 100000 or even more during the
financial year opening April /, next.
The figures are contained in a mem
orandum submitted by the British treas
ury to the Royal Commission on Unem-
ployment Insurance. The memorandum
drew attention to the gravity Of the sit
uation.
"The increase of expenditure in 1880
over that Of 1928 was $125, 900 ,0O0,"
says the memorandum, "and the in
crease of 1881 over 1928 may amount to
some 100000. Even in the most
favorable conditions so great an in
crease so swiftly incurred would over
tax the budget. It win not merely dis
turb but wiz entirely upset the equilib-
rum Of the budget on the basis of exist
ing taxation. In 1891 the revenues must
be expected to fall; the extent of the
fall cannot yet be estimated, but the
extent Of the fall requires to be balanced
If the equilibrium of the nations
finances Is to be preserved"
Contributions by the state dole fund
by 1882 will have been the cause Of
borrowing from the treasury amounting
TO about $3.50, 100000.
