NAVY YARD TO CO
ON NF|VE-DAY WEEK
3,7OO Civilian Workers Will
Be Affected by Change
Starting July |.

The 3,700 civilian workers at the
Washington Navy Yard will be placed
on a five-day work week. effective July
/, and 10000 workers throughout the
Nation will be similarly affected, it was
revealed yesterday by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Henry L. Roosevelt.
Through this method, Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt asserted, it is ex-
pected that more men will be employed
and discharges of workers prevented.
The administration hopes, by cutting
down the work week, to spread en-
ployment among greater number Of
persons.
At present workers at the Washing
ton yard are employed five and half
days week Under the old economy
act, from last July to April, they were
on five-day week basis. Since April
l, however, officials explained last
night, because of the change in econo-
my legislation, the local workers went
back on overwhelmingly week.
Some observers believe the new
order is temporary as, under the public
works bill. row pending in Congress,
the administration proposes to con-
struct 80 warship5-20 destroyers,
submarines, cruisers, aircraft car
riers and gunboats. This stimulus
would have its reflection at the navy
yard here, as ordnance would be built
for the new warships at the naval gun
factory here.
Unless the f1ve-day week is adopted
as a permanent policy the warship-
building program would tend to in
crease employment at the Washington
Navy Yard and cause the organization
to go back to a five-and-a-half- day
week shortly, observers believe. The
same would happen throughout the
country.

GUARD AGAINST DISORDERS.
News Of Accommodation Has Not
Reached Inland Points.

MADRID, June P.-Authorities
throughout Spain took precautions TO-
day against possible disorders resulting
from the signing of the new religious
laws and the consequent excommunl-
cation of government officials by the
Catholic Church.
Little reaction had been noted to-
night because news Of the excommuni-
cation of President Niceto Alcala Ia
inland points officials expressed GER
tainty, however, that disorders would
result.
Because the government contains few
Catholics, little direct effect from the
accommodation was looked for. Some
deputies said that the church's action
"does little good, for it prohibits us
from going places where we never go
anyway" One of the effects of eX-
communication is that those against
whom it is pronounced may receive
none of the sacraments of the church
and may not attend services"
Zamora Refuses Comment.
President Zamora. who is Catholic
refused to comment 1t was said that
he apparently knew what the result
would be when he signed the congre-
cations decree, which made civil So
cieties out of religious orders with 49,
900 members and turned church art
treasures, worth millions, over to the
state

Deputies from the Basque countr!
and Navarro issued a manifesto de.
claring the congregations law to b,
unconstitutional and predicting it
speedy repeal
They said the law went beyond thu
original plan of the constitution il
ordering the confscation of churcl
property, the elimination of priests
salaries and the prohibition against tn
exercise of religious education.
The new law, their manifesto said
"is diSgraceful affront which will en-

MEETING D|V|DEDON
COTTON PROGRAM
Majority Present Advocate
Substantial Acreage Cut
Before Harvest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A jackpot of ideaS-Some in sharp
confiict-on methods of improving the
lot of cotton growers this year was laid
before the farm adjustment administra-
ton yesterday by representatives of the
cotton industry
A majority of the 200 attending the
meeting, held as preliminary to draft
ing cotton program under the new farm
act, urged that substantial part OF this
years planted area be taken out OF
production before harvest.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, OF
Alabama, author of a proposed amend
ment to the $4,000, 100000 industrial
recovery-public works bill, which would
set aside S200,000,000 to pay growers OF
basic commodities to cut acreage, Joined
Senators Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina, and Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, in plea for prompt action.
Sufficient Votes Claimed.
Bankhead said that there are enough
votes in Congress" to assure adoption
of the amendment providing I'VE can
get the support of President Roosevelt,
which he so far has not given
The Senators urged that 100000
acres or more be retired from cotton
this year by leasing. They said that
financing acreage reduction by a process
ing tax this year would be difficult be-
cause of the recent sharp rise in cotton
prices, which has cut the margin be-
tween the market price and pre-war
parity prices The processing tax must
be levied in an amount not greater than
this margin.
Both Smith and Bankhead said they
believed that because of the large sur
plus of cotton and acreage increases
this year the price of cotton, unless
supported by leasing plan, will fall
sharply by the time farmers are ready
to market their crop this Fall They
said the present high price Is OF no
important assistance to farmers who
now have little or no cotton to sell.
Difficulty Increased.
Senator Smith urged the option pool
plan, of which he is author, should be
used in combination with leasing this
year.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace said
the recent advances in cotton prices had
increased the difficulty of administra-
tors in applying the act to cotton. He
said the price increase is, in part, the
result of anticipation of an acreage cut
and that speculation on this theory has
made acreage reduction more difficult
by reducing the potential revenue from
processing taxes.
George N. Peek, chief administrator
of the act, took issue with several
speakers who said any processing tax
would be Immediately passed on to con-
sumers. He said that there is much
waste in distribution" and asserted that
the margin between the prices of raw
and processed cotton could be reduced
Peek said that mo class of producer
is so much at the mercy of the buyer
as the farmer-he takes what he can
get"

UGLY DUCKL|NG
OSTRAC|SED

Primo, the "ugly duckling" in
the waterfowl pond at the Zoo
has been ostracised.
Manned by a broken wing, the
swan has been made an outcast
by his neighbors.
His name was donated because
Of the wing which juts out like a
fighters fist poised for a swift
right. The injury is believed to
have been received in a mating
season fight.
The ostracism is complete.
While other members of the web
footed group glide gracefully
across the waters Of the pond,
Primo seeks seclusion in the over
hanging boughs of shrubbery
When he, by chance, seeks to ac-
company the others he is greeted
with honks of derision. But he
doesn't seem to mind and makes
the best of solitude.

gpiracy to brand him as dishon-
est and bring about his removal

He alleges in his suit that he
was blamed for the closing Of his

nent Of Justice inquiry into his
work here.
