Cuts Through Reorganization
and Greater Efficiency
Told in Forum.

Naval expenditures were reduced by
SIS 100000 during the last fiscal year
and further savings are expected during
the year ending June 80. Secretary Of
the Navy Adams declared last night in
the National Radio Forum, arranged
by The Star and broadcast over the
coast-to-coast network of the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
The Navy has operated with increas-
ing efficiency during the past two years
he said, and is daily striving to effect
new and better methods and to adopt
permanent economies"
THE forces afioat have reduced very
materially their operating costs, b0tf
by reorganization and by improvements
In operation" Secretary Adams told his
audience. Many obsolete vessels have
been stricken from the active list ano
sold, and many more have been PLACED
out of commission, to be held in re-
serve.
I'm the interest of economy, Severa,

SISTER QU|zzED
|NFA|THFUEL CASE
Inspector Says Talk Was of
Starts Men Friends and
Diary.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINEOLA, N. Y, June 13.-Nassau
County officials questioned Tucker
Faithful, sister of Starr Faithful, for
three hours late today in an effort to
shed new light on the death of the
Greenwich Village beauty.
At the end of the conference, which
was secret, Police Inspector Harold
King said their talk had been about
STAIRS men friends, her diary-on the
possibility that there had been a later
volume than one discovered in the
family's apartment-and fuckers own
whereabouts from last Friday until her
sisters body was found in the surf at
Long Beachso on Monday morning.
He said little progress had been made
toward clearing the mystery surround
ing STAIRS death. Tucker entered the
police station by private way and
made her exit there also, without being
questioned by reporters.
Murder Motive Lacking.
King indicated he felt there was not
much in STAIRS diary to provide a mo-
tive for murder-eluSive factor in the
case which the State has been pursuing
intensively for a week
The diary was evidently begun in
1927 and ends at about the beginning
of $780," the inspector said. 1T adds
little to material already in hand. If
there was second diary, which seems
likely inasnuch as Starr was rather
diligent about keeping the first one,
we may discover it tomorrow when de-
tectives will search the Faithful home
thoroughly"
Inspector King said his searchers
had found a coat today, almost fitting
when she vanished last Friday. but that
it obviously was not hers"-this latter
statement bearing upon an unrevealed
telegram found in one of the pockets.
Probe Family Income.
The income of the family of Stanley
E. Faithful, father of the dead girl, was

he had traced the fathers connections
back to pre-war days when he was with
Boston chemical concern. Faithful
still has an income, King said, but the
father was "haZy about the details
of it.
The Faithful sisters, King disclosed
had weekly allowance out of which
their parents expected them to pay fol
books, amusementS and personal effects
but not their meals.

CHEN LEADS ARMY
AGAINST CANTON
0usted Governor of Insur-
gents Announces Loyalty to
Chang Government.
BY the Associated Press.

HONG KONG, June IA Sunday -
Gen. Chen Ming-Hsu, ousted governor
of Canton, announced his loyalty to
President Chang Kai-Shek of the
Nationalist government today and tele-
graphed Mang ChingWei, leader of
the southern insurgents, a warning
that he personally was leading his
army against Canton.
Gen. Chen returned to China from
Japan last week, joining his two divi-
Sions of troops. which were moving into
Central Kiangsi Province.
At that time Chen, in return for pay
mentS from both the Nationalist gov
eminent and the new insurgent gov
eminent at Canton, was reputedly plan
ming to remain neutral. He was ex-
pected to use his army against Com
munistS and bandits in Kiangsi
Province
The Nationalist government today
confronted active rebellion in the great
southern provinces of Kwangtung and
Kwangsi, depredations by Communist
and bandit armies in several other
provinces, and industrial depression
throughout the country.
With negotiations and concessions it
attempted to placate the insurgent gov
eminent leaders at Canton, and by
threats and show of armed force it
tried to suppress banditry and red ter
ror which have gripped much of the
country for several months.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, March (P)-Grain
prices averaged higher early today,
Influenced by rough weather likely to
hamper the movement of corn. An
rouncement that President Hoover had
accepted the resignation of Alexander
Legge, chairman of the Federal Farm
Board, had no apparent market effect.
Opening at Is off to * up, corn
later scored all-around gains. Wheat
started at Il decline to "A advance and
afterward tended upward.
General curtailment of corn receipts
was foreshadowed by a falling off in
Chicago arrivals to 1874 cars, compared
with 294 a week ago and $50 at this
time last year. Primary receipts totaled
733 900 bushels, against 1872 900 a week
back and $4,000 on the corresponding
day of 1880 A new unofficial estimate
en- farm reserve stocks of corn put the
total at TBS, 900, 900 bushels, compared
with 739 100000 a year ago.
CONTRASTING with diminished move
ment of corn were big primary arrivals
with 100000 a week ago and 809, 900
at this time last year. However, Liver
pool reported better transatlantic de-
mand, with Canadian offerings smaller.
An additional strengthening factor was
a definite authoritative statement that
the grain sterilization corporation was
selling wheat abroad for cash only and
that stocks Of wheat at New Orleans
were beginning to clear uu. Oats were
responsive to upturns in wheat and
corn.
Provisions reflected hog market gains.

CURB ISSUES GAIN
IN ACTIVE MARKET
Utilities Lead in Advance.
Many Stocks Hit New
Highs in Forenoon.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 6.--Forty leading
issues on the Curb Exchange climbed to
new heights for the year in active fore
noon trading today.
The leader of the list, Electric Bond
g. Share, was one of the first to shat
ter its previous 1881 peak. It was fol-
lowed quickly by American Superpower,
Eastern States Power B, Niagara Hud-
son, Niagara Shares Corporation and
United Corporation warrants. st. Regis
Paper soon joined the upswing of the
various New York State utilities. Cities
Service was unchanged during most of
this period.
Public utilities, both in point of vol
ume and strength, featured the market
in the first two hours. Oil shares fur
nished contrast by their irregularity.
In the power and light list Electric
Bond g. Share in block of $4,000
shares, American Superpower in a
12,000-share lot and Niagara Hudson
Power in a 4000-share trade enjoyed a
brisk demand from the opening gong.
United Verde Extension and De Havi-
land Aircraft were the first of the metal
and aviation shares to soar to new
heights before midday. Affiliated Prod
uctS was up a shade on increased
January sales. Taggart Corporation hit
ward again as Shattuck-Denn topped
its preceding high.
Stutz Motors was the outstanding
stock in that classification both in point
of volume and strength. Aluminium
Goods, Ltd, and Associated Electrical
Industries established their best quota
lions around midday, when the general
market slackened its pace.
While some of the Standard Oils
were dropping, as a result of price
slashes in crude oil and gasoline, some
of the lower-priced South American
petroleums we're whirled vigorously.
American Maracibo, Colon Oil and
similar shares ran up to new 1891 tops.
Middle States Petroleum A moved
similarly.
Declaration of the usual 50-cent ex-
ira dividend by johnson caused
it to touch a new high before meeting
profit-taking. Pie Bakeries of America
A also crossed into new high ground. It
was followed by Great Atlantic & Pa
cific Tea.
Meanwhile organized buying APP
peared in the Natural Gas group, where
trading has not kept pace with other
sections of the utility list. Appala-
chan Gas was the first to pass its pre-
vious 1881 high United Gas then
started to move toward its best level
Trans-Lux, as a result Of its plans
to show daylight pictures abroad and
the expectation of favorable earnings
advanced to a new high for the year
Its spectacular run-up one minute be-
fore the close Thursday caused the
issue TO go to a new high at the
opening today and take with it most OF
the other active amusement.
