NAVY FALLING
To PIECE"
MRS STEWART

The American Navy is falling
to pieces" Admiral William V.
Pratt, chief of operations and the
Navy's highest ranking officer,
told the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee today.
Unless Congress authorizes the
$616,000,000 10-year building pro-
gram recommended by the Navy,
it will not be equipped to give
the country an efficient first-line
defense in the future, he said.
Admiral Pratt said the country
is morally bound to build up to
the limit of the London treaty.
Representative McClintic CD
of Oklahoma, a consistent adVo-
cate of a small American navy
threw the committee hearing into
an uproar by demanding that
Secretary of the Navy Adams re-
sign from the cabinet for dis
loyalty to the President" in ad-
vocating the $616,000,000 building
program.
Adams retorted:
II want to assure the COM
mittee there is no diSIOyalty on
my part to the President"

leadership in the nation, Gov.
Franklin d. Roosevelt. in his
message to the 1882 legislature,
virtually launched his cam
paign for the Democratic preSi-
Dental nomination. in the
opinion Of political observers.
He laid the blame for present
economic conditions on the door
step of the Republican Admin
istration at Washington and said:
The mistakes of the past
among men and among nations,
the effects of which now beSet
us, call for leadership broad
enough t. understand the prob
lens not only of our nation, but
of their relationship to other
nations, the problems not of
New York alone, but of all the
Al other States, the problems
not of cities alone, but of the
small communities and rural
districts as well-a leadership
practical, sound, cOura sc Gus and
alert"
He asked the legislature to in
crease Immediately the personal
income tax, the tWo-cent tax on
gasoline, the stock transfer tax,
and the tax on motor trucks to
offset the States $150,000,0 900
deficit.
= While Roosevelt did not men
tion President Hoover by name,
in the message, which he read to
the Republican controlled, Legis-
lature, he referred indirectly to
the President repeatedly.
He said that two years have
passed but the national leaders
have as yet shown us few plans
for the reconstruction of better
ordered civilization in which the
economic freedom of the in

News SeryiCnN

HARRISBURG. Pa, Jan. &
(LN.S.) S.).-Undaunted by lack
Of success in a hazardous flight
over the Blue and South
Mountains through a driving
rainstorm, Gentry Shelton, St.
Louis pilot, brought his plane
down here at II a. NJ. today
and prepared to renew the
search for Mrs. Ruth Stewart,
st. Louis, and Mrs. Debbie
Stanford, of Toronto, Ont.
Both women, who had traded"
planes with Shelton in order to
try out his ship, were lost in a
heavy fog bank over Dublin's Gap
in the South Mountains last
night.
After more than an hour of
fruitleSs search today, Shelton
and the International News Ser.
vice reporter returned here, plan
ming to take the air again at the
earliest opportunity.
Circles Over Valley
Shelton circled through the
Cumberland Valley for an hour
and a half this morning, Swoop-
ing as low as 300 feet in an at
tempt to find traces of the miss.
ing plane.
Parents of Mrs. Stewart, who
accompanied her on the flight in
another plane, were on the verge
of collapse from worry in a local
hotel.
Although fog and mist brought
about loss of the plane bearing
the two women, the same factors
combined to lend hope that they
might be located through aug
menting the searching forces.
Four Join Search
-Four expert fliers who accom-
panied Capt. Frank M. Hawks,
acknowledgement racing aviator,
were held up here by the same
fog in which the Stewart plane
was lost. They were K. D. Jerni-
gin, jr.; Harry Kelliher, P. j.
Clausen and Joseph L. Wheeler.
All agreed to the pleas of Shell
ton that they aid in the search
for the two missing women. Rain
was falling steadily throughout
the morning. while The search Of
the Cumberland Valley was in
progress, but Shelton planned to
take the air again this afternoon
and work eastward in the belief
that Mrs. Stewart, fearing to land
in the rain at Harrisburg, had
continued on in an attempt to
reach New York last night.
HARRISBURG, Jan. 6 G.NSD.
Rupert Loehner, 20-year-old Har-
risburg youth, joined the aviators
searching for Mrs. Stewart and
Mrs. Stanford this afternoon.
Loehner sent his plane into the
air shortly after noon with the in
tention of combing the terrain in
Perry county, north of the terri
tory searched by Gentry Shelton,
st. Louis pilot, earlier in the day.

For the first time in the history
of the motor vehicle, the motorist
is faced with the danger of using
inferior and harmful fuels or
lubricants in his automobile.
Throughout the development of
the motor car from a novelty to
a necessity, 1t has been possible
to supply it year after year with
fuels and lubricants adapted eS-
pecially to its needs. Competition
among the producers of gasoline
and oil neceSSitated a constant
improvement in quality.
Increases in gasoline tax rates,
however. and the possibility of
making more money by tax eva
sion than by legitimate sale,
have brought the racketeer and
bootlegger into the fuel and lub-
ricant business. The products
they smuggle into the market to
escape taxation in the case of
gasoline and to attract patronage
through low prices for oil have
been found often to be inferior,
il not actually harmful.
In some States the fabrication
