The navy personnel situation to- day is critical and of vital import ance to the fleet, second only to the need of new construction. The force operating plan of 1883 pros poses to have in commission S06 vessels, of this number 207 are cotnbatant ships and S9 are meet auxiliaries.
 The proposed personnel plan calls for 85 per cent of the full complement in battleships, chuos- CTS, plane carriers and destroyers. The auxiliaries to have apptox. mately 90 per cent of the full com piement, submarines alone be- ing maintained with 100 per cent com mpremeilts. All snips in com mission named with the above percentage will require total en- | listed personnel of 'S9,582. This will require an additional $500 men in 1885. These figures are as low as can be maintained without the sac rifice of efficiency. Some of the eambatant units today are down to S1 per cent complement, which is dangerously low. This number not giving sufficient men to completely man the batteries or to steam al sustained high speeds for any great period of time.
 This increase has been necessi- tated by the new constructior which will soon become availa hls during the year and by the ap.
 proved reduced complements.V
 It is expected that as the new
 construction becomes available
 there will be gradual increase 1T
 navy personnel until 1889, as eacf
 year will call for the commission ing of certain new vessels as the!
 become available. The figure O
 S9,5s2 is the lowest number Of ner
 even with reduced complement
 that the ships of the active flee
 may be manned by for the mex year. It is, therefore, of the ut most necessity that this increase II
 personnel be allowed, as without ! af f6a fact SnQ w0tlll

SHEPPARDFAVORS
HIS AMENDMENT
Holds Dry Proposal Best
Pathway Back to
Prohibition"

Senator Sheppard. Democrat, oi
Texas, outstanding dry leader IN
Congress. ssill believes the new Con-
stitutional amendment ne introduced
at the close Of the session In June,
giving Congress discretionary power
10 restrict or prohibit trafic in sleo-
holic beverages. represents the best
pathway back 10 national prohibi-
ton. "
The Senator made known this con-
ellIxion In a letter just received here
by John B. Hammond. head Of the
Uniform Prohibition Law Association.
who has been submitting to the Sen
ator arguments In support Of a more
stringent new amendment.
Prefers Old Amendment.
Mr.. Hammond explained today that
he would prefer re-enactment OF the
eighteenth amendment He said he
does not believe a new amendment
should vest Congress with discretion
AIRY power 10 license or permit the
liquor business. He also takes the
view that the proposed amendment
would interfere with the police power
Of the States.
Since the January session viii be
the beginning Of new Congress, all
measures not acted ON in June win
have 10 be reintroduced, and Mr.
Hammond has had series OF corre-
spondence with Senator Sheppard re-
Rarding the phraseology OF the new

dry proposal. In the reply tast re-
cessed. Senator sheppaTd wrote:
4 am Ia agreement with you that
an immediate decision s10uld Be
reached regarding the terms Of tlae
new amendment. After reconssdeT1ng
the matter from every angie and
weighing most earnestly all views ex-
pressed 10 me. including your own, !
have reached the conclusion that the
amendment as I introduced 10. repre-
sents the best pathway back 10 ma
tlonal prohibition
Explains Provisions.
When he introduced the proposed
amendment at the last session, Sens-
tor Sheppard explained its provisions
IN the Senate His statement at that
time summed up the objects Of the
new resolution. and read, in part, as
follows.
The proposed amendment provides
greater hexibility than was afforded
By the eighteenth amendment, since
IL provides that Congress shall have
power 10 restrict or prohibit the traf-
nc in alcoholic beverages IN its discre-
ton. Under this grant Of power Con-
gress could establish a uniform plan
Of regulation effective in all States
desiring TO sanction liquor sales; it
could enact national prohibition sp-
pliceble 10 the entire country: or 1t
could refuse To pass any legislation at
oil. In which event the States would
be free to adopt any system Of pro-
hibitlon or regulation they saw 1T. as
at present.
Any State desiring 10 adopt or re-
tain prohibition could do so. or it could
enact legislation in aid Of the plan Of
regulation provided by Congress. 1t
could not, however. adopt any system
Of license or regulation In conflict
with that provided by Congress. should
Congress enact law for that purpose.
The existence Of such power in the
Federal Government would make IL
possible for Congress 10 regulate the
liquor trafdc wherever legalized, 70
bar the return of the saloon. and to
establish any method Of control or
regulation experience may show 10 be
the best and public sentiment to de-
mand."

TALK PLAN FOR CONGRESS.

NEW YORK, September 20 (P.-
The New York Times in q special dis
patch from Washington says Joseph B.
Eastman, Federal transportation CO.
ordinator, has proposed creation of q
Federal Department of Transportation,
to be represented in the Presidents
cabinet, for consideration in connec-
ton with the legislative program at
the next session of Congress.
Through this department. the news
paper says, the Government would
relate itself to all common carriers In
interstate commerce.
The Times says 1t is understood this
proposal was discussed with President
Roosevelt during Eastman's recent visit
to Hyde Park and also with Repre-
sentative Rayburn, Democrat, of Texas
chairman of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
When asked about the proposal, the
newspaper quotes Eastman as saying
it was one of a number of suggestions
advanced by him as basis for dis
cuSsion of the transportation problem

Joseph B. Eastman, co-ordinator Of
transportation, said today reports that
he has proposed to President Roose-
velt department of transportation,
headed by a cabinet officer, we're
premature.
Eastman, who returned late last
night from Atlantic City, where he
delivered an address yesterday after
noon, said the question of department
OF transportation had been discussed
for many years, but that no proposals
have been made recently.
The first such proposal. he said. was
made by the railroads themselves in
1920, when the present transportation
act was being worked out in Congress.
1T would only confuse the situ-
ation," said Eastman, ito say anything
more than that such proposals are
premature. When We get to the point
where some definite plan has been
worked out it can then be made
public"
Eastman leaves tonight for Cleve-
land, where he will address q motor

TALK PLAN FOR CONGRESS.
Evening star., 1934-09-20

The guiding geniuses behind the
Treasury are beginning to talk pri-
vately against any new tax plan for the
coming congressional session. They
are getting around to the view that
a permanent tax increase program
should wait until reasonably per-
manent budget can be established.
Treasury Secretary Moroenthau
is saying nothing one t0dy or an
other. He wtH unQuestionably let
Mr.. Roosevelt decide.
1t will please the Democratic con-
gressional leaders very much If the
administration can postpone its new
tax plan indefinitely. They never want
to increase taxes, but, when the new
budget is completed. some new taxes
may be found necessary.

Rivalry between Tennessee and
North Carolina over location Of the
Great Smoky Mountain was so intense
the two States could not even agree
on where a hearing should be held.
Each declined to have the hearing in

TROTSKY BLAMED !
IN SPANISH PLOT.
Soviet Exile Described as
Strategist in Abortive
Madrid Uprising.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, September 20.-The name
of Leon Trotzky, exiled leader of Soviet
Russia, flashed into the picture today
as revolutionary uprising scheduled
for daybreak proved abortive.
Rafael Salazar Alfonso. minister of
the interior, described plans for the
rebellion as "Trotzky's strategy, mixed
with American gangsterism."
There have been persistent reports
that Trotzky, ordered from France last
April for revolutionary activities, had
been seen in Catalonia recently. At
tempts to learn his whereabouts
through French officials proved fruit
less.
Zero Hour" Passes Quietly.
The zero hour" for the outbre ak
passed under the vigilance of govern
ment guns and there were few gns
of the threatened Communist and
Socialist revolt.
Machine guns covered Madrid and
squads of picked riflemen patrolled
the streets and guarded government
buildings Many suspects, including
Socialist labor leaders. we're under
arrest and quantities Of arms have
been confiscated.
Troops were vigilant in the provinces
also.
Authorities said the plot was re-
vealed yesterday by the arrest of
Francisco Ordonez, athletic coach at
the University of Madrid. and the
seizure of documents he carried.
Caches Of Arms Sought.
Workmen were called by the govern
ment to burrow beneath the Socialist
central headquarters, where there were
reported to be subterranean cellars
containing arms.
Cabinet members and high officials
had been marked for death, police
said. Plans had been laid, they added,
for the capture Of munitions plants
and to take over the air force and
army. A revolutionary general strike
was to aid the revolters, who wished
to establish a "proletarian state"
Police confiscated several packages
addressed to employees of the COM
munications ministry which they said
contained material for infammable
bombs.

even before the Chestnut ruling, as
believing an early decision would be
requested of the Supreme Court. The
district court decision, based upon
dismissal of petitions filed by two
Maryland farmers, was looked upon
as starting the case along the route
to the high court.
The farmers filing the petitions
we're William w. Bradford OF Belalr
and Charles A. Compton of Carroll
County.
President Roosevelt. when he signed
the Frazier-Lemke bill, agreed it
was loosely worded in some respects
and would have to be strengthened
by subsequent amendments.
Representative Lemke of North Da-
kota, the other author of the meas
ure, said in discussing the decision
that apparently this particular court
is very corporation-minde
When Mr. Roosevelt enacted the
measure he took cognizance of one
argument against 1t with the comment
that:
1T has been alleged that insurance
companies and other mortgages will
suffer severely through the use Of
this law by farmers to evade pay
ment OF debts within their capacity
to meet. I do not subscribe to these
fears"
Whether the corporations proposed
to take direct hand in the court
test Of the amendment was not made
known Immediately,
Administration officials are repre-
sented as feeling that the soundness
of the Frazier-Lemke act was ade-
quately determined before 1t got Mr..
Roosevelt's last-minute approval.
Among others, the President had
asked Attorney General Cummings
for his opinion on it.
Mr.. Roosevelt approved the legisla-
ton, for which a veto had been an
ticipated in many quarters, only
shortly before the 10 days grace
period after Congress adjourned had
expired.
