WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3d.
The naval appropriations bill, proyid-
ing gigantic sums to build warships
and naval planes, and to increase the
navy and marine personnel by $500
men. at the same time provides for
continued wage-cuts for naval en-
ployees.
The Is per cent wage cut decreed
last summer by Roosevelt will be con-
tinued until July, when five per cent
Of it may" be restored.
The automatic pay increases for
long service which we're discontinued
ST the same time are not restored.

Approves Roosevelt
Biggest Navy" Bill
Continued from, Page y


from the committee dais by the for
mer chairman and ranking Repub-
Ican member, Fred A. Britten OF Il
unois. Representative Britten, who
distinguished his craftsmanship two
years ago by using his influence to
move the United States Atlantic feet
to Montauk Point, Long Island, to
enhance his real estate holdings
there, repeatedly accused the Navy
Department Of succumbing to British
influence in the form of punch served
at the British Embassy. Charging
that this British influence" resulted
in preventing American imperialiSts
from building flying deck cruisers,
Britten yelled: IF we can get ahead
OF the British or the Japs or the
French with flying deck cruisers
that's the thing to do. If you, gentle
men, don't get into building 6-inch
flying deck cruisers somebody is go
ing to make it hot for you"
Were Not Spending Enough"
Asked by Representative Darden of
Virginia whether he thought it
would be advisable" to give Japan
a 5-5-5 treaty strength instead OF the
5-5-S strength she was given at the
1922 Washington Naval Conference
in relation to Great Britain and the
United States, Admiral Standby re-
piled: I'D rather not answer that
question" Chairman Vinson inter
posed: TITS not fair question. q"
Whereupon Darden dutifully with
drew that question"
Representative McFarlane Of Texas
voiced the sentiment of the entire
Committee when, complaining that
sufficient hundreds OF millions have
not been given the iingoes and the
mperialists, he Grated: We're the
richest nation in the world and yet
we're spending little compared with
ether nations budgets"
Stating that though 1--WE need" l00,-
900 men to man a treaty navy, Ad-
miral Standby revealed that the pres
ent complement of men permits
the navy to man the guns and be
effective Immediately on the outbreak
Of war"
Recommend Further Increases
After hearing the recommendation
of Admiral Standby for more air
planes, the Committee left the room
"a chamber bristling with engrossed
cannon, martial paintings of fully ac-
countered dough boys and battle
ships stripped for action, gold crested
eagles, and purple drapings to pro-
vide the proper atmosphere for max
ing the preparations for the next i'm
perialist slaughter of workers in the
sharpening contest for markets.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee has already recommended $3S, :
619,334 for increase in the navy"
an addition of $1,200,000 over budget
estimates. This recommendation,
which no one expects will meet with
any opposition, is exclusive Of the
over TOO million dollars necessary for
the Vinson and Roosevelt building
programs-$238, 100000 of the latter
already being spent Tor the construc-
ton Of 80 additional recovery war
chips.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH
20 BOXING

VOW often DO you read of boxers
IL radiating class" before a medi-
ocre opponent and begging down
hopelessly with faster boy2 Or have
you not heard of the gym" fighters
whose dash fades in the actual ring?
Again, are there not men who absorb
fearful mental beating in the dress
ing room, who pass sleepless nights
before bout, etc.?
Let us slip behind the scenes. Let
us see what are the habits of the
individual, and to what he owes
them. Striking bottom, we find
that each boxer either approached
the field with definite attitude, or
cultivated one in his course Of pro-
cedure, which attitude, together with
his neuro- muscular skilIs, formed

Lunacharsky minced no
words. He condemned boxing as
brutal and degenerating, and con-
signed it to limbo as far as he was
concerned. Furthermore, il I remem-
ber correctly, he raised the question
of its virtual banning as an unsocisl
exercise, unit for a country building
Socialism.
NOT taken aback in the least, the
~ Soviet Food Workers Union, which
was then holding an all-Union box
ing tournament, invited Lunacharsky,
sending him the Soviet equivalent Of
two Annie Oakleys for the ring-side.
Lunacharsky came, observed and
went home wiser man. Upon his
return he penned a letter to the
union in which he publicly stated
that he had revised his notions Of
boxing and that he understood its
usefulness in developing qualities of
stamina, courage, and coordination Of
mind and muscle. The letter is really
an interesting document and we in
tend to publish it in these columns
at some later date.

"A introduction of the whole question
Of boxing in some of its scientific
phases. We have dealt in some detail
IN this column on racketeering in
boxing and wrestling and we will re-
turn to this phase Of the question
again. Now We intend to introduce
Mike S., man who has been a box
ing instructor at a large state uni
versity for some time and has been a
N. Y. state champ himself. Mike is
an ardent scientist in the fistic la
boratory and lectures on boxing with
as much gusto and thoroughness as

him, he'll shove a couple of chairs

The youngster happened to be a

isfaction of winding up second to

did," was the girls reply.
Interest Is City-Wide
cav. you just don't like to admit
that I'm better skater than you,
Jimmy chirped back. but wait until
the derby and I'll show you who
best"
Thus the argument goes on, and
many more of the same type of races
will be held within the next few
weeks as children prepare for the
derby. Young men and women, and
even adults are inbued with the
fever, and are practicing for the
longer and more difficult events in
which they will be eligible.
No poor skates will be used in the
derby Gar Davis has promised
The Times the use of Tomlinson
hall rink skates for the event. No
crowding will take place either, be-
cause rules of the tournament will
cause disqualification of any racer
pushing or in any way interfering
with another contestant.
Silver Cups at Stake
A silver cup will be at stake in
each event. They are offered by
the Block Company, and will be
presented Immediately following the
final events, which will be held at
7:30 at night. Opening heats and
semi finals will be held at IN the
afternoon.
Grade school children have five
events in which they may partici-
pate, and should start immediate
practice, as the schools have been
asked by The Times to hold their
own eliminations and send only
their three fastest boys and girls.
Older entrants can obtain entry
blanks from the boys department,

will be given with each entry blank.
The entry blanks must be received
