SYLVANIA with the United States
Fleet. at sea, June 8.-Problem 16,
the elaborate series of tactical man
euvers which took the United
States fleet across the Pacific to
the Midway Islands, proved that
what the U. S. Navy needs most is
an adequate merchant marine to
support the navy in time of war.
This was the opinion c. Admiral
William H. Standley, chief of naval
operations, and it was re-echoed in
many navy circles today as the
fleet, the maneuvers ended, steam
ed in long, graceful formation to-
ward San Diego and a Well-earned
rest.
Standley gave his views just be-
fore leaving the flagship Pennsyl-
vania to proceed directly to San
Diego aboard the U. S. S. Memphis
He will arrive tonight, and the
fleet will get there Monday morn

The United States is woefully
deficient in modern tanker and

Virginia Carter. a blue-eyed 7
year-old child, bounced around in
a big witness chair in superior
court today, played with a new
flaxen haired doll and stymied eff
forts of the state TO shake a story
from her that would send her mo-
ther to prison for life.
Virginia was called as states wit
ness during the trial of her mo-
ther, Mrs. Gladys Carter, accused
of numbering pretty Frances Walk
er, 20-year Newhall, Calf,
school teacher, at the Carriers Pla-
cerita Canyon home last April l3.
The child told a story of the ia
tai shooting at an inquest upon
which prosecuting attorneys hoped
TO convict her mother, but when
she jumped to the witness stand at
the trial, she had a different story
to tell.
Mama accused Frances of going
out with Daddy" Virginia had told
a coroner's jury, and so she went
in her bedroom and got a gun and
shot Frances"
But instead of repeating those
words, little Virginia, more inter
ested in her new doll than in the
solemn courtroom proceedings, told
an amazingly different story
about "a quarrel between Mama
and Frances over the pistol"

marine of the nation fill this need.
The navy, he said, can take care
of the west coast adequately, but if
the theatre of warfare should be as
far west as Pear Harbor or the
Philippines, a large fleet of supply
ships would be needed to MAIN
tain the fighting forces at sea.
Praises Efficiency
Standley recommended a yearly
program calling for construction OF
small groups of ships, as under
large scale production I'VE put
mistakes into 40 ships instead of
correcting the errors in 10 ships"
Under his yearly replacement
program, which he considers the
highest achievement of his admin
istration, the chief of naval af-
fairs would replace about 13 to Is
ships annually and would build
faster-moving auxiliary ships.
Many of the train vessels" now in
service are not capable of speed
greater than eight knots.
Standley praised highly the eff
cheney of the present fighting force
of the navy.
I'VE need not fear any invasion
of our coasts" he said.

Presidents Son
And GoUernor Of
Texas In Debate

AMARILLO, Texas, June 8. (U.P)-
Gov. James V. Alfred, staunch sup
porter of states rights, is heartily
in accord with the Roosevelt admin
istration on most matters he said
today after an impromptu exchange
of views last night with Elliott
Roosevelt, son of the President.
Alfred, in an address before the
Texas League of Young Democrats,
urged endorsement of the NRA de-
cision of the supreme court and
said he was opposed to any amend
ment which would give the fedearl
government control over individual
business.
Roosevelt rose as the governor
concluded and said he believed
Governor Alfred is hot under the
collar about something he shouldn't
worry about"
Allreds address ranged from an
attack on federal control of oil, the
need to hold personal opinions on
| government, and a review of the
origin of states rights. He called
for support of the President and
laid blame for the NRA'S faults on
administration underlings.
The principals of good govern
ment, he said, are like the ten COM
mandments, eternal and everlast-
ing"
1T is the duty of every good
Democrat and citizen to speak out
honest convictions" he said. Il urge
you to adjust your differences and
present a united front in 1886
against the hosts OF monopoly
Young Roosevelt said he agreed
that many phases of the NRA were
unconstitutional, but maintained
that since an emergency obtained
strong measures were necessary.
Business, he said, had admitted 1t
was on its last legs and had asked
for relief.
Alfred joined in the applause
/ when Roosevelt concluded.

ground at dawn today.
Chunks OF concrete as big as pi-
amos, hurtled through the air and
bounded across the lakefront sands
OF the abandoned Worlds fair site.
Higher than the Washington
monument and claimed as the tall
est structure west of the Atlantic
seaboard, the 628-foot tower was
bowled over by two mighty dyna-
mite blasts. Wrecking crews worked
throughout the night loosening its
ground supports.

tearing down the Sl.200,000 towers,
had no warning of the wrecking
operations.
Century of Progress officials de-
cided on a private show for safe
tvs sake, fearing spectators might
break through police lines and over
run the 1900 foot danger zone.
The first blast, echoing over the
lake, ripped loose the guy wires.
The green tower shuddered. After
the next charge the tower swayed
TO the east and began falling slow
", cutting an unbroken arc. Sixty
feet out from its natural position
it was caught by the pull Of grav-
ity and the lower elevator shaft OF
plate steel broke away.
Whipping cables lashed in all di-
rections. One struck the rampant
of Soldier Field, biting out a large
chunk of concrete.
The tower top, landing within
three feet of the spot fixed by en-
gineers, ripped through an asphalt
pavement and buried itself in three
feet OF earth in the middle court
of the Hall of Fame.

RILEY STATES
LEGISLATORS
DODGE TAXES

SACRAMENTO, June 8. U.P)-
Californias legislature is hoping
miracle will happen before next
January and that no new taxes will
be required, Controller Ray l.. Riley
said today in ar address devoted
to the legislatures attempts TO bal
ance the 1935-37 budget.
1T seems obvious that the legis-
lature has found it impossible to
develop $3.50, 100000 of revenue to
balance the general fund budget
and will propose a bond issue TO
be submitted to the people in
August for the construction of new
buildings at state institutions, pro-
vide for temporary borrowing on
the part of the state, and then
come back in January to again
consider tax measures" Riley said.
THE longest session of the leg
islature since the Civil war finds
the resistance to new taxes and
demands for lower taxes an effect
i've barrier, and temporarily the
legislature retires from Sacramento
with the nope that miracle Will
happen before January"
In referring to a proposed state
tax on automobiles, an important
part of the administration tax
program which failed to gain a
necessary two-thirds vote in the
senate, Riley said:
The taking of motor taxes for
state support violates the policy
adopted by the people two years
ago. Senate constitutional amend
ment No. 80 provided that all tan
gible property should be taxed in
the same manner"
He pointed cut that the legisla-
ture had recommended raising only
$24 100000 at present for unem-
ployment relief, depending upon
special session next year to take
care of the situation for the re-
mainder of the biennium.
:"Inasmuch as the unemploy-
ment appropriation only covers d
five months period" he concluded,
I'VE shall look forward to January,
