wAsHINGToN-TheH factors be-
w hind the expectedsappropria-
ton OF a billion dollars to main
tam the army and, the navy
through the next fiscal year are
never discussed here-publicly.
Privately, OF. course, one hears
plenty.
AS far as the navy gees, all the
whispers about its expansion are
concerned with Japan. . But while
Congress was debating approval
of an increase Of the army by Az
600 men, the word went around
that this was measure of prepa-
ration against possible domestic
trouble, meaning riots and strikes.
Even the most wistful army
officer hardly hopes ever to land
his troops on Japanese soil. But
for years the War Department has
harbored a quaint notion that the
country is on the verge of some
violent uprising such as is in
visible to most civilians. -,,r
Naval officers, on the other hand
usually talk as II they were sure to
lombard japanese shores sooner or
later. They really know better,
: since no NAVY now within the
range, of contemplation can cross
the Pacific and mop up. The dis
lance is too great. .;.tI

you have to have friends in the
State Department really to get
the point. Then realization begins
TO dawn that large hunk of our
foreign policy is just a game of
bluff with Japan. 60.
This years navy maneuvers in
the direction of Japan will be part
OF the game. The idea is to scare
Japan into less obstreperous ASH
attic policy. OF course that requires
that Japan be persuaded to believe
that the British navy will cooper.

in an effort to solve the penknife mu-
tilation and staying OF the young

zenge was in custody here, still
cheerful, but silent after "a hours
questioning. Mrs. Bauer was in Cleve-
land for her husbands funeral today.
Her brother in-law, william Bauer,
said she had been notified of Dough-
erty's request and indicated that al
though she shuddered at the
thought" she probably would return
here to face zenge.
Through q solid day Of questioning
zenge, arrested early yesterday, was
said by Dougherty to be willing to
discuss anything but the killing. To
all questions on that subject, Dough-
erty said he replied with demand

who at first said the man was not his

Plane Of Soviet Construction.
The plane Is entirely Of Soviet con-
struction. Inside the fuselage the
flyers had slowed away their emer-
gency equipment-concentrated foods
and fur garments-in case they are
forced down in the Arctic wastes.
Their route provides almost con-
slant daylight. They will cross the
sparsely inhabited Kola Peninsula,
heading out over the Barens Sea
about $50 miles east of Murmansk.
The route lies slightly west Of the
fortieth meridian. The last land they
will see before they head out over the
polar wastes will be Victoria Islands
Of the Franz Josef group.
Thence the route carries them over
1915 miles of sea and ice to Prince
Patrick Island on the Canadian coast.
Flying slightly west Of the 120th me-
ridian, the Soviet airmen will pass
over Banks Land, Great Bear Lake,
Fort Simpson, the Rockies, the Cas-
cade Range, into Vancouver
From Vancouver they will follow
regular air lines into San Francisco.
Seek Practical Route.
The purpose Of the flight is primar-
lily to ascertain If air trafic between
Europe and the American continent
over the Arctic air lanes Is prac-
ticable. Also, the flyers are instructed
to search for land. Another duty as
signed them is to make researches
which may lead to the establishment
of Soviet meteorological station at
the North Pole.
The Soviet ice breaker Sadka will
be in constant communication with
the flyers, with two planes ready to
60 to their rescue If they are forced
down.
The plane is equipped with a radio
through which the occupants hope to
keep In constant touch with Northern
wireless stations which will send out
weather bulletins from both Europe
and the American continent.

DOUBLING M'NE|L
PRISON PLANNED
U. S. Proposes to Construct
Modern Penitentiary
Group on Island.
. BY REX COLLIER.

Confronted with congested prison
population, the Justice Department
is planning to increase by more than
twice the size Of Mcneil Island Peni-
Tertiary, in Puget Sound, Wash, and
establish there a modern penitentiary-
reformatory group.
The plans were disclosed by Attor-
ney General Cummings after President
Roosevelt yesterday signed a bill au-
thorizing acquisition Of 2,302 acres OF
land needed for the project.
Under this authority, the Govern
ment will move at once to dispossess
10 families living on privately-owned
parts Of Mcneil Island and will pur-
chase by condemnation or otherwise
all Of that 4,400-acre island and two
nearby isles, Gertrudis and Mosquito
Islands. Total cost Of the purchases
Is not to exceed 100000.
Oldest Government Prison.
The penitentiary on Mcneil Island
Is the Oldest owned by the Government,
having been supported by the Federal
Government since 1867. The Justice
Department more than a year ago ac-
quired a second Devils Island"-the
remodeled military prison on Alcatraz
Island, in San Francisco Bay. Only
"incorrigibles" of the most desperate
type are confined at Alcatraz.
The program of development for
Mcneil Island penitentiary contem-
plates a threefold institution, en-
bracing not only the main penal sec
ton, but also a modern work camp
and reformatory for rehabilitation
Of criminals.
Cummings visited the island on his
return from Honolulu more than a year
ago and was deeply impressed with its
possibilitiesl as great penal center
for Federal prisoners. The island,
about S miles long and 3l2 miles wide,
has no walls, but there is high wire
fence patrolled by guards. The near
est mainland point is 3 miles away.
Work Camp Planned.
HE present prison farm on the
island will be recognized into
prison work camp, where convicts
will do farm work, build roads, clear
land and otherwise improve the island
The reformatory section will be an
independent unit, providing educa-
tional and vocational training oppor-
tunities for prisoners deemed worthy
of such instruction. Similar redemp-
ton work is being done at Chillicothe
and southwestern reformatories.
The entire program was proposed
by Warden E. B. Swope, in charge
of Mcneil Island.
