SWANSON REVEALS
new NAVY PLANS
Expenditures Are Limited to
$4,000, ,0O0-Part of
Fleet to Be Idle.

Secretary Of the Navy Swanson re-
vealed yesterday that for the fiscal year
beginning July / the Navy can spend
only $270, 900, 900. which represents a
saving of some SIS, 900 900 in the budget
of the service. Tentative plans have
been arranged, under which one-third
Of the fleet would be laid up in rotating
reserve as an economy move, and pros
poets are that shore stations will be
similarly affected.
Details of just how the S55, 900 900
will be saved have not yet been worked
out. Recruiting has been stopped alb
solutely" and the Navy has banned pay
for promotions among enlisted men, ap-
plying the same rule to the rank and
file as has applied for nearly year
to the officers.
Approved by Budget Bureau.
The figure Of s27o, 600. 900 was agreed
upon by the Bureau of the Budget, Sec
retary Swanson said, after extended
negotiations. The Navy prevailed in its
stand of opposing a further slash of
100000, however. For the coming
fiscal year Congress appropriated some
S308 100000, but in addition there are
continuing appropriations which are
estimated at around SIG 900 600, as of
June 30-the end of the current fiscal
year. This would bring the total of
next years anticipated naval budget up
to 1925 100000
The Secretary explained that when
the warships are placed in rotating
reserve. they will be overhauled at the
navy yards. thus giving increased work

Los ANGELES GAS
RATE CUT UPHELD
Supreme Court Also Allows
Right to Close Broad
casting Stations.

Reduction of gas rates in Los An
geles by order OF the California Rail-
road Commission was upheld in sig
nificant decision handed down by the
Supreme Court yesterday
In another decision the tribunal de-
clared the right OF the Federal Radio
Commission to close broadcasting sta
tions in the public interest, regardless
Of the investment involved.
Justification Of Reduction.
The majority opinion in the gas case.
led by Chief Justice Hughes. placed
great weight on the decrease in prices
during recent years as justification
for the rate reduction. 1t discussed in
detail the elements entering rate base
and gave only paragraph to the Z
per cent return which the State COM
mission estimated the Los Angeles Gas
& Electric Corporation would earn. with
the assertion 1t was impossible TO hold
that return Of per cent Is so low
as to be confiscatory."
The corporation had claimed the re-
duction. ordered in 1881. was too great.
and amounted to confiScation Of its
property.
The opinion further held that a pub
lie utility is entitled to such rates as
will permit it to earn a return on the
value OF the property equal TO
that generally being made at the same
time and in the same general part OF
the country on investments in other
business undertakings which are at
tended by corresponding risks and un-
certainties, but 1t has no constitutional
right to profits such as are realized or
anticipated in highly profitable enter
prises or speculative ventures"
In dissent, Justices Butter and Suther-
land insisted the majority had ignored
principles laid down in the past as
controlling the factors in rate-making.
In the radio case the court held the
commission justified in depriving WHO
and WPCC Ct Chicago Of their wave
lengths and giving them to WJKS at
Gary, Ind. The commission had found
that Illinois had more than its share
OF broadcaSting channels and that In
diana had fewer than it was entitled to.
Other Court Decisions.
With several other decisions. the
court handed down long list Of re-
fusals to review appeals and then an
nounced 1t will hold Cnly three more
sessions before adjourning for the Sum-
mer three weeks hence.
Only four appeals for review were
granted. including an attempt by the
commissioner of Internal Revenue to
recover 100000 Of additional estate
taxes on account CT trust left by the
late James B. Duke for his daughter
Doris. Duke himself was trustee when
it was created and he reserved the
right to dispose of trust property at
his discretion. He died in 1925, and
lower courts have held against the
commissioner.
Among the courts refusals of review
was an appeal from conviction by John
and A. c. Adds. Wichita, Kans., whole
sale grocers. who sold ginger extract
which the Government charged was re-
sponsible Tor the outbreak of partial

SEEKS HULL VIEW
. OF PROCESSING TAX
Agriculture Department to
Ask If Levy Is Against
Tariff Truce Spirit.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull will be asked
by the Department Of Agriculture
whether the imposition CT the farm re-
ilief bills processing tax would violate
the spirit of the tariff truce sought by
President Roosevelt.
1t was learned from reliable sources
that plans for early use Of the pro-
cessing taX-Cne of the major pcwers
the bill will confer on Secretary Wal
ace-have been delayed with prospect
that they may not be Immediately
levied because of the truce which the
President hopes to have in effect until
the London Economic Conference.
The act provides that when process
ing taxes are levied en- basic cOmmOdi-
ties-wneat, corn, hogs, cotton. tobacco,
rice ana dairy productS--a compensa-
tory tax of equal amount shall be
placed on imports of the commodities
and products manufactured chiefly
from them. In effect, this import tax
would be tariff, subject to upward and
downward revision in line with changes
in the processing tax rate en- farm raw
materials.
Tax at Start Considered.
Consideration is being given in relief
bill administration plans to a proposal
10 levy small processing tax at the
start-so small that it could provide
funds for bounties to farmers to Stinu-
! late acreage reduction without neces-
Sarily requiring compensatory import
duty.
Any substantial increase in domestic
farm prices as result Of relief efforts
would be followed. department experts
believe. by an immediate rush of i'm
ports unless the latter were subject to
an lnceraSe in duties equaling process
ing taxes. This opinion is he'd by farm
organization leaders. who stressed the
compensatory tax provision in cham
piOning the bill.
Secretary Wallace refused to discuss
the effect OF the tariff truce on his
administration program. fearing it might
| reveal his plans for exercising powers
TO levy processing taxes. He is an op-
ponent of high tariffs as a permanent
national policy and is strongly in favor
OF the Presidents program for reciprocal
tarlH agreements in the hope this will
permit expansion of the market for
American surplus crops.
Compensatory import taxes under
the bill are to apply to possessions of
the United States as well as other coun-
tries. with the tax to be paid before
release of the shipment from customs
custody.
Special Funds Provided.
In the case OF possessions, including
the Philippines, Virgin Islands. Ameri-
can Samoa, and Guam. the taxes COL
lected are to be set aside in special
funds and spent by the possessions for
the benefit of agriculture
Whatever effect the truce will have
on employment of the processing tax,
1t Was learned that Wallace intends to
use it ''on small scale" when first
put into effect, with prospect it will
be applied to only two products, wheat
and hogs, before August /.
Cotton relief efforts may be limited
to employment of the Smith cotton
option plan at the outset, making
processing tax unnecessary. The pro-
grams for rice. tobacco. and dairy
products will be worked out after the
relief program for the others has been
begun.

Relating to the proposed slash in
officer personnel, Secretary Swanson

board twice will be the first to CO. He
said that they are too old for their
grade, as fixed by law-"so why should
they be continued in the Navy?"
The cabinet officer said 637 officers
will be needed for warships soon due
for commissioning. Asked If he thought
1000 officers would be dropped. Mr..
Swanson said he did not think it would
reach that figure.
1t is known that medical board is
at work, going over the health records
of the various officers, compiling a list
of those who are physically below par.
While the Secretary did not touch this
point in his conference with newspaper
men yesterday, other naval authorities
said officers who have had extensive
time ON the sick list will be dropped.
