NAVAL AUTHORITIES SILENT.
Admiral Hart of Academy Had Been
Forewarned.

Authorities at the Naval Academy
last night had nothing to say on the
action of the American Association of
University Professors in banning the
Naval Academy from its eligible list.
The superintendent, Rear Admiral
Thomas c. Hart, was aware beforehand
of the action.
An aide of Admiral Hart explained
unofficially that actually there were %
instructors at the Navy Academy
dropped. of these being athletic in
Structors. Because funds for the Naval
Academy were slashed arbitrarily and
due to the reduction in the size Of the
regiment of midshipmen, it was neces-
sary to let these men go. he said.
The number of appointments for each
member Of Congress has been cut from
four to three and this reduces the size
of the student body and consequently
the number of professors required, it
was explained.
The action of the Association, in the
view of the Naval Academy authorities,
does not affect the scholastic standing
of the academy among the colleges of
the Nation.

CUBA WILL ISSUE
PAPER CURRENCY
Thirty-Year-OId Monetary
Policy to Be Abandoned
by New Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, December 30.-A 3O-year-
old Cuban monetary tradition-that
banning paper-went by the boards as
Col. Manuel Despaigne, President
Ramon Grau San Martins secretary Of
the treasury. received the Bank Of
Cuba's bid to coin $4,000, 900 in silver
currency and issue $l7,O0O,00O in silver
certificates
Although award Of contract was with
held pending further study of the
banks lengthy proposal, treasury off,
cials expressed the belief that the con-
tract would be given the bank within
the week, after possibly some slight
notifications Of its proposal.
No previous Cuban government in the
nations 80 years as an independent
country has issued paper money.
A project to that end advanced some
10 years ego, which contemplated issu-
ing paper money through the old Ma
tional Bank Of Cuba, was abandoned be-
fore beilS carried into effect.
The bank of Cuba. represented by
Francisco Seigle. its president offered
to handle the coinage of the silver and
the printing Of the paper money for
commission Of l per cent. the govern
ment paying all charges, such as cost
of the silver, coinage. printing, freight,
insurance and handling charges.
Its proposal also contemplated the
deposit of the coined silver in the bank
of Cuba, and redemption of the certi-
ficates through that institution. A
charge for this service would be made,
the amount to be decided later.
Seigle estimated the governments
seigniority on the issue would be ap
proximately Sl0,000.000.
No United States bank bid for the
silver contract, and American bankers
privately were sharply critical of the
proposed silver issue, declaring it in
tiation of the worst sort.
Despaigne, however. spoke up stoutly
in defense OF his project. pointing out
that Cuba's monetary stock his slumped
from S414OOO.o0O or Sl1941 per capita,
in June. 1926 to S7l ,000,0 900. or sl7.95
per capita in September, 1888.

EARLY DECISION
0NPAY CUTS SEEN
President Roosevelt Is Ex-
pected to Make An
nouncement Tuesday.

President Roosevelt is expected to
reach his decision on Government pay
by Tuesday.
In making this known at the White
House last night. it was stated definitely
in the Presidents behalf, that in the
meantime, there would be no publica-
ton Of the figures in the cost Of living
study by the Department Of Labor upon
which he is to base his action, and that
there will be no advance comment upon
the subject.
1t was explained that by Tuesday the
President will have had an opportunity
to study these figures which were
whipped into shap yesterday and he
hopes by that time to have reached
decision. 1t is understood that the
Presidents position in the mater VIII
be made known through the medium
of the executive order prescribing the
pay scale for the six months starting
January l.
While the White House would give no
intimation of what might be expected,
there Is strong belief in administration
circles that the living study Will
show sufficient increase in the price OF
essentials to warrant some restoration
of pay Some observers have inclined
to the belief that 1t will be per cent.
because revised budget estimates tor
the next year are on this basis. That
reasoning however, is founded only on
speculation. as-unless the Law Is
changed-living costs must regulate pay
for the next six months. but after that
time, the current economy legislation
is dead neceSsitatlng new law to govern
pay standards and employment condl-
tons
Intimates of the President who have
discussed this subject with him say
there is no doubt he is anxious to deal
as generously with the employees. as
conditions warrant,
