TREATY STRENGTH NAVY BILL
PASSED BY SENATE; PRIVATE
PROFITS ARE TO BE LIMITED
Senate's Measure Calls for Half Of Warcraft To Be
Built in Fedral Shipyards; Is Per Cent of
Planes in Government Plants

WASHINGTON. Maj. 7. (UP)
The senate voted 65 to 10 yester-
day to authorize building the
United States navy up to treaty
strength but the chamber got. tied
up in technicalities and will have
to pass the bill again.
The bill authorizes construction
of 102 warships and 1,184 air
planes at cost estimated at
from $565,OOO,OOO to $1,000
100000. But it gives the presi-
dent power to halt the, program
at any time.
The senate's difficulty yester-
day was that it passed the bill
without voting on one proposed
amendment. This necessitated a
motion for reconsideration. It
will be passed again. probably TO-
day and then will go to confer
ence with the house over minor
senate changes.
The senate adopted an amend
ment. similar to one in the house
bill, limiting profits to private
firms engaged in naval construc-
ton to 10 per cent on contracts
above $4,000.
The most important change
from the house bill is a provision
that 25 per cent of airplanes con-
structed under the program, must
be built in government plants if
the facilities are available. If
they are not available. plant
construction program is ordered
to meet the requirement as near
ly as possible. Spokesman indi-
Gated this would be accepted by
the house.
The bill requires that so per
cent of warship construction be
given to government shipyards.
Chairman Park Trammell of
the senate naval affairs commit
tee speaking for the bill. said:
owe are not responsible for the
war spirit abroad in the world,
but as a great world power we
have to consider it in formulating
our national policy"

WASHINGTON, March z. -
There were indications in the cap
ital today that the possibility of
enactment of the compulsory 30
hour week bill may brighten in
dustry into accepting the less
drastic Roosevelt plan for short
er work week to create more jobs,
The 30-hour week bill was fa-s
vorably reported to the house yes
terday at exactly the right mo-
ment to reinforce the administra-
ton demand for shorter hours.
Many believed that congress was
moving on industry with a big
stick.
So far industrialists assembled
here in q general NRA code con
ference are baking. Recovery Ad-
ministrator Hugh s. ohnson's ten
tative 10 per cent work week re-
duction suggestion was received
i'll.
Dapper William P. Connery, Jr..
one-time vaudeville hoofer and
now representing Lynn. Mass, in
the house of representatives, fash
toned the persuasive weapon which
ultimately may determine the
fate of the Roosevelt program.
With this wages and hours bat
tie just getting hot the NRA has
stepped into another with the steel
and automobile industries.
William H. Davis, national NIRA
compliance director, denounced
company union regulations in
those industries as continuing TO
violate the spirit of the law by
interfering with self-organization
of labor. Seldom has q more direct
attack been made on alleged non
compliance.
Davis told the United Press ne
probably would summon steel and
automobile code representative to
Washington next week.

LONDON. March 7.-(UP).-
Great Britain's determination to
rule the waves was emphasized
yesterday with publication of the
new naval building program call
ing for II new warships.
The naval estimates for. the
coming year call for increased ex-
penditure on war craft of almost
every description, from aircraft
carriers to submarines. In addition.
Great Britain viii bluild six fight
ing sloops, one net layer, one sur
veying ship and various smaller
craft, auxiliaries to the battle
fleet.
The proposals call for total ex-
penditures of 56,550,000 pounds
sterling $286.849,S75, against
53,570,000 pounds ($271. 1885,
225) for the fiscal year just end
ing.
The program would increase
the British fleets personnel by
2O38 men, bringing the total to
92.338 effectives. The estimated
expenditures exceed any in the
last five years, although they are
far below the 1925 expenditures
of 60,0O4,54S pounds.
In submitting the estimates to
the house of commons, Sir Bolton
Eyres-Monsell, first lord of the
admiralty, explained that of this

FEAR j. 5. MAY
TIE STRINGS TO
SCHOOL MONEY
Further Loss of Local Con-
troll May Follow Fed
eral Support
BY J. c. BASKERVILL
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, March 7.-Do the
people of North Carolina and do
the school people want federal
participation in the support of the
schools in the state? Would the
state actually get any more mon
ey for schools and would not fed
eral participation mean federal
control and supervision in it's ex-
penditure?
These questions are being dis
cussed more and more since DR..
A. T. Allen, state superintendent
of public instruction, last week
told the house committee on edu-
cation that he personally favored
federal participation in the sup
port of the public schools and that
North Carolina needed at least
$4,000,000 a year for this year
and next year, in addition to the
$17,OO0,O00 a year the state is
providing. When questioned by
committee members, however, DR..
Allen agreed that the present
state revenue bill, designed to
yield only about $25,000,000 a
year and of which $17,000,000
goes for the public schools, would
yield from $35,O0O,0O0 to $40,-
900, 900 a year and that the state
PROBABLY would not need any fed
efal aid.
At first glance, those here ia
Voring more money for schools,
regardless of the source, were in
clined to agree with DR.. Allen, es-
pecially if there was a chance to
get 100000 a year this year
and next from the federal govern
ment with which to supplement
the states $17,000,000. But when
they got up as far as the next
legislature they started to won
der if the legislature would con-
tinue to appropriate as much for
the schools as it has been doing
if it knew the government was
going to give the state from
$4,OOO,OOO to S5,000,000 a year
to go to the schools. They also
started wondering if the govern
ment would give the state a free
hand in spending this money, or
whether it would insist upon gov
eminent supervision, based upon
governmental study of the
states school needs. 1t is recalled
how the counties at first objected
so bitterly to state control of the
schools, even though the counties
and county superintendent want
ed the state to supply most of
the money.
What the school forces want, of
course, is for the government to
dump $4,000,00O a year in their
lap and say, "Go ahead and spend
this money any way you want to.
We know that you are interested
in education and the welfare of
the children and that every dollar
will be spent wisely and honest
ly."
But is that what the govern
ment has done with the CWA,
PWA or any of the other money
it has spent? 1t has not. 1t has
carefully supervised the expendi-
ture of every penny of it from
Washington. Not foot of new
highway can be built until the
plans, specifications, cost and
many other details have been
