Vinson Navy Bill
No Basis For Biz
Armaments Race
u. S. Sets Out to do What
England and Japan Have
Done Past Decade

WASHINGTON, March 9. OUP)
Big navy spokesman in the hougc
asserted yesterday that the Vim
son-Trammell navy bill Offered
Japan no reason for starting an
armament race.
In response to reports from To
ko that Japan planned a large
construction program, Chairman
Vinson of the house navy com.
mittee pointed out that his bill
merely provided for placing the
United States navy at London
treaty strength. One Of the OBJ
jects of that treaty, he pointed
out, was to eliminate suspicion
of naval races by limiting con.
struction.
Rep. Britten, of Illinois, rank
ing Republican on the committee.
said that the United States was
only setting out to do now what
Japan and England had been do
ing for ten years. He said this
government would not go beyond
treaty limits "unless England and
Japan by secret agreement and
open competition voluntarily de-
stroy their solemn contracts with
u.s."
All signatory nations of naval
limitation treaties should keep
their navies at full treaty strength
to preserve the balance of peace
and security, Admiral William II.
Standby, chief of naval opera
tions, said in a speec hspon3orcd
by the American Legion.

TO LIBERALIZE
RULING ON OIL
Justice Dept. Consents to
Change Paving Way
for Coast Cartel

WASHINGTON, March 9. (UP)
The department of justice con-
sented yesterday to modification
of a court order restricting oper-
ations of California oil compan-
les, a move considered necessary
before the Pacific coast oil cartel
can operate effectively.
The department, through the
United States attorney of the
southern district of California,
consented to modification, how
ever, only if the new order specif-
ically restraints the oil companies
from unfair and monopolistic
practices, and protects the public
from unreasonable prices. The
department also insisted upon reg
ulations to prevent discrimination
against small enterprises.
The oil companies would be
required to report to the court
under oath any facts concerning
operations asked by the attorney
general. The whole modification
is made revokable if unfair or
monopolistic practices develop.
The chief concession to the
cartel and the oil companies lies
in granting them the right to pur-
chase on non-discriminatory basis
"such amounts of surplus gasoline
from small independent refiners
or markets as may be necessary
to effectuate the purpose of this
agreement" Under the old court
order. certain companies were
prohibited from buying surplus
gasoline at low prices and allocat-
ing the market among themselves.

CUBANS SOLVE
REGIME CRISIS
Governmental Split Avoid
ed; Left Free Hand to
Cope With Unrest

HAVANA, March 9.-UP)-
A serious political crisis within
the government was at least tenn
porarily solved last night as the
administration continued its eff
forts to quell rising labor unrest:
Strikes of port workers and
telephone operators tied up water
front activities and business gen.
orally was at a standstill in the
uneasy capital. The ABC militia,
with some 5000 rifles and numer-
Gus machine guns, was ready to
60 into action in a desperate eff
fort to settle the strike.
Leaders in the militia urged
President Carlos Mendieta to per-
nit armed action against the
strikers. However, Col. Fulgencio
Batista, head of the army, insist
ed the regular troops could ham
die the situation.
The strikes complicated the
delicate situation within the coali-
ton government of Mendieta, but
that crisis was believed solved
with the appointment tonight of
Mario Munez Mesa as secretary
of interior. The post had been va
cant and at issue.
Mesa belongs to no political
party. His selection was regarded
as victory for the ABC faction,
which had urged a neutral APP
pointment so as not to give any
party a clear majority in the cab
met. The Union Nationalist, to
which :Mendieta belongs, wanted
the president to name d member
