| The president recommended against continuation of provision prohibiting wage reductions for per diem employees of the naval es- ltablishLient.
 He also urged termination of the custom of q rc-enlistment bonus for veterans returning to the serv- ice.
 The proposals for reductions in government pay were based on q plan for an II per cent pay cut on the amounts of individual salary above $1,000 year. The federal salary cut adopted at the last ses- sion of congress was on a furlough basis. It works out at about Ia per cent.
 Washington, Dec 7-(U. P.) - Sharp limitation on benefits to war veterans were recommended by President Hoover to-day in his

 The message included compre-
 hensive legislation written out in
 detail by the president. He would
 prevent duplication of benefits to former soldiers by amending laws which now permit such duplica- tions.
 The chief executive recommend cd that veterans earning $1,500 q year, if single, or $3,50O q year. If married, should receive no benefits from the government. Cases have been reported in increasing num- bers, Veterans administration of1- cials said. of veterans who receive considerable income through dis ability allowances or other benefits, and at the same time earn good salaries In private life. Under the section on disability allowances. the president recom- mended that no veteran in future shall ceive such benefits unless totally and permanently disabled"
 The suggested legislation also would stop veterans compensation disability allowance or other cash benefits if he goes to United states SollderS home or other Such institution or hospital and remains for more than 30 days.

Secretary of State Prepared to
Discuss World Arbitration
With Senate.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee
was advised by Secretary of State
Stinson today that he saw no reason
WHY the United States should not make
a contribution toward expenses OF the
World Court Secretary Stimson's views
were expressed in letter to Chairman
Iinthicum. author of legislation for
such contribution.
Should Congress vote such an appro-
pria Stimson said, Il should fee
free to consider with the Senate the
question of whether this Government
might not. with the consent OF the
Court, be able to submit to the Court
some types of international litigation
which We are now forced to submit
to special arbitration"
A procotol of adherence to the Court
is pending in the Senate, and is a
source of much conflict there. Linthi-
Gums idea is that the United States
could become a member of the Court
by voting an appropriation for its share
of the Courts expense. A majority OF
both Houses would be sufficient to ap-
prove such a move. while two-thlrds
vote is necessary in the Senate to ratify
the protocol.

The worlds largest airship, U. S. S.
Akron, moored at its Sunnyvale, Calf.
base, several hundred miles away, IS
scheduled to join the maneuvers which
will extend at least until Friday. The
Akrons problem will be to find the
fleet. acting in the role of an enemy.
Battleships. scout cruisers, destroyerS
and submarines moved into the gray
mists off Southern California. The
dreadnaught divisions are expected to
go through long-range gunnery exer-
ciseS first.
In addition to the exacting schedule
of battle problems, the various units
will have to be on the alert for the
peeping sky liner. Its mission, as in
war. will be to conceal itself in the
clouds and secretly watch just what the
fleet is doing. and perhaps do some
thing. theoretically, to destroy or weaken
the sea force. 1t will be the Akron's
first maneuvers with the United States
