ADAMS W|THHOLDS
D. K. Of NAVAL BILL
Secretary Explains Hoover
Hasn't Had Chance to
Study Measure.

BY the Associated Press.
Explaining President Hoover had not
had opportunity to study the measures,
Secretary Adams today withheld official
approval of legislation calling for an
increase in the United States naval
strength to the maximum permitted by
the London treaty.
This testimony was given to the Sem
ate Naval Committee after Adams had
heard Democratic suggestion yesterday
that he resign if he was not in accord
with the Presidents views. He gave
his personal Endorsement of the legisla-
ton to the House Naval Committee.
The Navy Department head added it
was extremely doubtful whether the
Navy would ask for any actual appro-
priationS for new construction this year.
Appropriations Doubtful.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, who was member
with Adams of the American delegation
to the London Naval Conference, asked
the Secretary about actual construction.
1T is extremely doubtful" replied
Adams, that any program calling for
actual appropriations for naval con-
struction this year will be submitted to
the Budget Bureau"
The bill under consideration merely
would authorize construction and ap-
preparations would have to be made
| later.
Chairman Hale suggested at the
opening Of the hearing that perhaps
/ fn1t ho r1N Nrttfl vol nff ri
approval Of the bill until the President
had studied the measure.
Since his appearance before the
House Committee, where he indorsed
the treaty Navy, Adams has been held
IN some quarters to have opposed Presi-
cent HooVer'S program. Yesterday
Representative McClintic, Democrat
! Oklahoma, suggested he resign if he
was not in agreement with President
Hoover. Adams replied then that he
was absolutely loyal to the President
Ships Over Age.
Hale read a mass of figures intended
TO show the United States has larger
| proportion of over-age vessels than the
other great naval powers.
AT the expiration of the London
! treaty on December 81, 1886, if there
IS no new building" he said, I'VE will
have, instead Of the 1874 ships which
are allowed under the treaty, 68 vessels
| that are under, age"
He added that Great Britain would
| nave ll9 out of about 200 and Japan
156 out of 167.
Hale said that while the United
states has been doing practically
nothing" toward keeping its Navy up
TO strength, Japan has been constantly
busy with construction.
AND with money borrowed in the
United States let me add" said Senator
Iyolngs, Democrat, of Maryland.
Japan Taking Lead.
| 1t looks to me from these figures,
Hale said, "as though the country that
IS looming up as a great naval nation
Is not so much Great Britain as Japan

The drive by United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover to rid the Capital of OBJ
scene literature will be extended to in
clude several recently published novels
unless the offending publications are
removed from the market Immediately,
it was announced today.
Earlier in the week he ordered all
copies of three magazines seized, and
1873 arrests were made by police.
MIR. Rover, acting on complaints made
to him. today instructed members of the
Police Department to scan circulating
libraries and book stores for copies Of
the novels in question.
It don't intend to order any arrests
at this time" the United States at

the Objectionable books are withdrawn

Mr.. Rover declined to specify the
titles or the number OF novels he has in
mind as being Objectionable.
Il think the dealers and persons Of
fering the books to the public are quail
fed to judge as to their character az

to leave this phase of the matter to

Policemen who have been detailed to
the bookshops will, it was understood,
warn the proprietors if any objection
able books are discovered on their
shelves. 1t was believed, however, that
the warning is a matter of courtesy
only, and that arrests may be made
subsequently even though no warning
was given.

ARCHITECTS HOLD
IMPORTANT PLACE
Number of Firms in 81 States
Decreases Only II Per
Cent in Three Years.

Despite depression and drastic re-
duction in number Of new large-type
buildings, the influence of the archi-
tectural profession maintains its rela-
tive strength in construction opera
tions, according to Thomas S. Holden,
vice president Of F. w. Dodge Corpo-
ration.
While the volume of building actually
constructed from architects plans In
the 81 States east of the Rockies de-
creased 81 per cent between 1928 and
1881, the number Of architectural firms
and individuals who participated In this
work decreased less than IL per cent,
he finds.
That more than 1000 new arcnitec-
tural firms have entered the field in
each Of the past three years Is shown
in an analysis covering 81 States and
reported in Architectural Record.
Hold Their Own.
Architects as group have slightly
more than held their own in the per-
centage of total dollar volume of build
ing work they handle, their percentage
decrease (62 per cent? being two points
less than the percentage drop Of total
building volume" Mr.. Holden says.
The extreme shrinkage of building
VO1uIQS, COuplcQ WlOu Lie SllSIlI uc-
crease in numbers of participating firms,
results in the sizable decrease in aver
age volume per firm from 100000 to
s17o,000."
In the architectural profession, as In
other professions and businesses there
is always 'sizable" annual turnover,
old firms going oubof business and new
ones starting.
Mr.. Holden estimates this turnover to
have been during the past four years
approximately 35 per cent Of the total
number of firms active in a particular
year More than 1000 new firms en-
tered the field In each Of the three
years covered. During the first quarter
Of this year more than 1000 new archi-
tects have already appeared In the field.
Mr.. Holden's reply to the question,
How have the new firms Jared in this
period Of shrinking opportunity"
reads: "Out of 2,456 firms rated as new
in 1929, there were 462 which had ac-
tual jobs to their credit in both Of the
succeeding years Out Of a total Of
1888 new firms In 1880, Of whom there
were 2,238 entirely new ones. there were
682 which had actual jobs to their
credit in 1881. There have been cas-
ualties among the new firms. but re-

emphasis by employers upon the estab-
lishment Of savings plans is looked for
by the United States Department Of
Labor as soon as better times are at
hand.
"The beneficial effects of savings car
ried on by employees have been evident
in this passing crisis. The coming era
must lay stress on the accumulation Of
much greater savings reserves.
New members added to building and
loan associations in the past quarter
represent a return to the old idea that
systematic saving is the only way for
man to acquire financial independ-
ence. The proposed home loan bank
bill would bring into the home financ-
ing field a stabilizing factor and en-
ployes' savings could be expected TO flow
still more freely INTO home financing in
situations which have the credit facii-
ties Of Federal system behind them"

Volume of Work Small.
Naturally, the new firms do not

parable with that of the firms which
have been continuously in business Tor
an extended period. AS an illustration
Of what may have been typical gen
orally, certain figures for work done by
architects active during 1881 in Ohio
are of interest.
Firms continuously active from 1928
handled, in 1881, n per cent OF that
years total volume of architects busi-
ness, while the remaining % per cent
was handled either by firms new in the
field after 1928 or by firms who were
not continuously active through the
four-year period Nine per cent OF the
total was credited to architects entirely
new in the 1881 records, compared With
only per cent credited to entirely new
firms in 1929 and again in 1880.
