A move to increase naval enlisted
personnel by 5000 to man new warships
to be put into commission in 1894 is
planned in the coming Congress by
Chairman Vinson Of the House Naval
Committee.
Vinson intends to initiate his effort
when the annual naval supply bill is
brought before the House in January.
The Navy now has 10000 enlisted
men compared with 4 peace-time force
of 100000 in years past. Vinson said
he had been informed by high naval
officials that with the new ships about
ready for service, the personnel situa-
ton had become acute.
Vinson said he also would seek an
increase of about 1000 in Marine Corps
personnel, which has been reduced in
the past two years to less than $4,000
men
While the Budget Bureau was re-
ported to have approved an increase to
10000 in the Navy enlisted force for

I'VE protest on behalf of the consumers
for whose protection this bill was
drawn, and we request that these hear
ingS be reconvened under a new COM
mittee and an unquestionably impartial
chairman"
Nine hours of solid testimony for and
against various provisions of the bill
had been heard before the subcommittee
closed the hearings. Copeland said it
would take until December 20 to re-
draft the bill to meet many Of the Oh
jections he regarded as valid.
An assertion by Ray C. Schlotterer OF
the New York Board of Trade that the
bill was "anti-N. R. A." in that it op-
posed the N. r. A. principle of partner
ship between Government and indus
try was countered by Robert Lind OF
the N. r. A. Consumers Advisory Board
who said consumers were entitled to
know what they were buying as well as
Government and industry.
Lind especially favored what he called
the n-advertisting" sections OF
the bill.
Labor Indorses Measure.
Thomas Elliott indorsed the measure
on behalf Of the Labor Department and
denied it would adversely affect the
worker.
Joining many others in opposing the
provisions against false advertising as
too broad and dangerous, John A. Ben
son, president of the American Asso-
citation of Advertising Agencies, said
under the bill as written "any fanciful
departure from literal truth could be
held false"
William L. Daley of the National Edi-
torial Association said the bill smacked
of bureaucracy" and would hurt the
interests of legitimate small town ad-
vertising.
c. C. Parlin of Philadelphia. speak
ing for the National Periodical Publish
ers' Association, said the bill would
damage the whole structure Of national
advertising. bring serious harm to con-
sumers and publishers and throw thou
sands out of employment"
The Copeland measure was drafted
"to prevent the manufacture, ship
ment, and sale of adulterated or mis-
branded food, drugs, and cosmetics, and
to regulate traffic therein; to prevent
the false advertisement of food, drugs
and cosmetics, and for other purposes ~
The present food and drugs act does
not cover cosmetics, nor does it contain
provisions on false advertising.

However, this morning Hoffman said
Patlak's present physical condition
would not permit his appearance be-

was no indication that he had ever
had any ofncial connection with the

speed up loan applications.
