when the Bambino ruled the
slugging realm, fallen below the
300 notch for the second time
in his glamorous career, the
threat of Ruth is held in low
esteem by rivals.
Pitchers who dared not throw
a fast ball near the plate when
Babe was at the bat, with runs
in scoring position, now burn
the catchers' hands with their
speederS and carve the heart OF
the plate in mockery OF Ruth'S
vanished might.
"We still have Ruth" the
Yankees say.
"WeTI stop Ruth cOld," rings
the rejOinder of the Tigers
pitchers. Figures support their
boast.

modernize guns and equipment for
protection of coasts and insular ter
ritorieS.
Tanks: All we have, except IL, he
said, date from the World War and
are totally unsuited for combat. 1888
appropriations will provide for "a tanks
and combat cars, still far below other
nations.
Artillery Field units are armed with
wartime French "75's." New field
models have been developed giving
greater mobility and flexibility of fire.
Appropriations should be made to
modernize artillery.
More Rifles Ordered.
Rifles: The Army now has 80 newly
developed semi automatic rifles OF
extraordinary efficiency. and provision
has been made for $500 more. 1t
weighs no more than the present rifle,
but has a rate of accurately directed
fire three times as high, is less fatlgu-
ing to fire, and should replace the old
models.
Ammunition: Important improve
ments have been made in all small
arms types. The range of the normal
bullet has been almost doubled, and
armor- piercing ammunition made
much more efficient. There was, how
ever. he said serious deficiency in so
caliber machine guns, the best weapon
against tanks and very effective
against hostile aircraft.
The possession of a highly eff
cient air corps is indispensable to
any army's success in war; Mac
Arthur declares. Planes, however,
with other machines, have their
limitations land any idea that some
particular weapon will completely
dominate battlefields of the future is
fgment of the imagination"
Approves Baker Report.
Macarthur Fundamentally in
dorsed recommendations made by the
Baker Aviation Committee and de-
clared they should be made ''the basis
Of a definite national policy for the
Army Air Corps" The Baker Com
mittee recommended 1000 more
planes; 5000 more officers; the gen.
eral headquarters air force; and in
creased training in night flying, cross
country and instrument flying.
The Nations military framework,
the chief of staff reported, had been
stretched out to the dangerous point.
Our Regular Army and National
Guard" he declares, "are at con-
siderably less than half the strength
contemplated in the national defense
act. The Officers Reserve Corps Is
inadequately supported, in essentials
of training We have no enlisted Re-
serve. Stocks Of material are in
adequate even for limited forces and
are principally World War equip
ment."
Macarthur also proposed that
larger military forces should be main
tanned in the Philippines, Hawaii
and Panama.

PR0BERS OF ARMS
SEEK BILL CONTROL
War Profit Legislation in
Senate Considered Part
of Committees Job.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Munitions Committee
Yesterday sought to take control of
any legislation which the Presidents
committee, headed by Bernard Ba-
ruch, may propose to take the profits
out of war.
The group, headed by Senator Nye,
Republican, of North Dakota, also laid
plans to carry on its inquiry into the
munitions industry indefinitely. At
the time the President named the
Baruch committee, Nye and one or
two of his colleagues said they were
afraid the White House wanted to cut
their investigation short.
The committee decided to ask that
any administration recommendations
for control of the arms makers be
referred to it by the Senate. This
would give the group the power to re-
write the proposals, or disapprove the
bill if it disagreed with its provisions.
Friction Feared.
The War Departments positive
stand against naturalization of the
munitions industry has convinced the
committee that it does not see eye to
eye with the administration on the
question of war profits.
A majority of the committee has
expressed approval of naturalization
in one form or another, and its men,
bers plan legislative recommendations
once their inquiry has been COM
pleted.
'Nye has declared for a full Govern
ment monopoly on the munitions man
ufacture. Other members support him
in varying degrees.
The committee chairman explained
today that his proposal for nationali-
Zation would not affect the question of
national defense

cient to repulse foe or group of foes

there were no shortage of funds. The
investigating staff was directed to re-
turn to work the day after Christmas,
and hearings are to begin about jan
uary 8.
Nye said the committee would ask
for at least $4,000 more.
