By ALEAANDEh h. OEOhOE
 WASHINGTON, May 23.- The national spotlight will shift from Washington to New York on May 31 when President Roosevelt reviews the massed naval power of the United States moving in majestic procession from the blue waters of the Atlantic to anchorage in the Hudson river.
 This years review, the first since 1880, is expected to be unusually spectacular because it will include scores of naval planes in new, breath-taking maneuvers against the background of Manhattan's skyline.
 Some 90 ships, ranging from slim, sleek destroyers to massive battle ships, will come up over the east ern horizon in a long column led by the flagship, the Pennsylvania, flying the four star blue flag of the fleets commander, Admiral David F. Sellers.
 Salute The President As the war vessels come abreast of the Presidents flagship, the new treaty cruiser Indianapolis, their crews, in full dress, will give the hand salute, the guards will present arms, the band will play the na- tional anthem with ruffles and flourishes and the guns of each ship in succession will thunder the presidential salute of 2l salvos fired at five second intervals.
 After the aircraft carriers Sara toga and Lexington pass in re- view, they will swing out of the column and proceed to positions advantageous for launching the planes massed on their decks.
 While the surface ships churn great lanes of white in blue seas as they move toward New York, the airplanes will fly in echelon, soar and dive and lay down thick smoke screens to obscure the fleet.
 Flying Presidential Flag
 President Roosevelt will be on the bridge of the Indianapolis an chored near Ambrose lightship and flying the presidential flag which has the United States seal in col ors surrounded by four white stars on a dark blue field On board with him will be Secretary Swan son of the navy department, Ad- miral William H. Standley, chief of naval operations, and members of the Presidents cabinet.
 The heavy cruiser Louisville an- chored near the Indianapolis, will fly the flag of Colonel Henry l.. Roosevelt, assistant Secretary of the Navy. It, also, will carry dis tinguished guests.

DIMOND REVIEWS
 REQUESTS FOR MILITARY BASE
Declares that Japanese Have Made Aleutian
 Island Surveys

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Japan- csc demands for naval parity with the United States and Great Brit ain, and assertions that the ori- entals made military surveys of some of the Aleutian Islands, Sat- urday aroused Alaska Delegate A. J. Dimond to renew his demands for fertilization of the Northern Territory.
 Although Delegate Dimond agreed with Representative Britten, Re- publican, of Illinois, that the only conclusion possible in view of the demands for Japanese naval parity with other powers was that the Orientals plan ultimately to domi- nate the Pacific Ocean, he disa- greed with Britten's belief that the philippine Islands should be devel- oped as a powerful airbase but AL aska or Hawaii would occupy stra- tegic positions in case of trouble in the Pacific.
 Large Force in Alaska
 Delegate Dimond recommended that ih case of attack half of the army should be stationed in Ha- waii, and large portion of the remainder in Alaska.
 He had previously suggested the construction of a large military airbase at Fairbanks with auxiliary bases elsewhere in Alaska.
 Delegate Dimond quoted letter from the John w. Jones, Ameri- can Legion Posts at Cordova which said that the Post had reliable in- formation that a Japanese vessel landed surveying parties on many islands at the west end of the Aleutian chain in 1892, and that men surveyed islands upon which they were placed and took sound ings of harbors and gathered other pertinent information.
