HOUSE IMpERILS
ROOSEVELT BIG
NAVY PROGRAM
Congressman Oppose Move
fer Construction Of
81 WarShipS.

BIZ Unifed Press
WASHINGTON. April l6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's big Navy program
was endangered today by congress
sionsl opposition to construction sp-
propriations for "a new warships.
The fight. it was learned. centers
in the House Appropriations Com
mittee which has the S470 900 900
Navy Department supply bill nearly
completed. Presidential pressure
may be necessary eventually TO
safeguard the new ship construc-
ton. A compromise providing for
II instead of "a ships was a posi-
bility.
The Nays plan called for an APP
preparation Of $4,000 900 in the
bill to permit laying down Of one
aircraft carrier, two light cruisers
IS destroyers and six submarines
The total cost would be sl97 $4,000
Based on Two Points
Opposition was understood to be
based on two points:
l. Significant inventions in sea
warfare, one being developed which
might make new vessels undertaken
at this time obsolete in three or
four years.
2. Due to the European situation
America should not lead in quicken
ing the armament race.
The bill, when reported, probably
will carry $270 100000 for Navy con-
struction. Most of this direct ap-
preparation will be necessary to con-
tinue work on SO ships now under
construction, due principally to pub
lie works grants. These include two
aircraft carriers, three light cruisers
and approximately SO destroyers.
Under the 24-new ship program,
part of the Vinson "treaty-Navy
program, there still would remain
81 ships to be built to bring the
Navy up to full treaty strength by
1910. During the next fiscal year
81 OF the vessels now under con-
struction are expected to be COM
pleted.
Bill Still Huge One
The regular construction called
for in the bill was reported to in
clude additional funds for develop
ment of the Pearl Harbor naval base
in Hawaii, as we'll as direct appro-
priations for Improvements at Pa
cific Coast naval bases.
The supply bill, regardless of
whether the new ship program is
deleted, will be one Of the largest
in history. Coupled with the $780,
100000 War Department bill, it
means expenditure for national de-
tense in the next fiscal year of
nearly s9OO,OOO,OOO. House leaders
plan to give the measure TiPht-of-
way as soon as the secur'iv bill is
passed.
The estimated Ma expenditures
In the present fiscal year-sxclusive
of public works grants for construc-
tion-amounts to S343, 053 .756. In
the 1884 fiscal year the Navy cost
was $274, 383,386.

Life itself was at stake in the battle pictured here
witnessed some years ago by reputable sports

ing into view, pursued by pack of five wolves.
Finally, when they reached a wide shelf Of rock.
the rams whirled and poised themselves for the
onslaught, each veritable coiled spring of
Live Power.
AS the leader of the wolves reached the ledge.
the biggest ram became blurred white projec-

only to be met, each i'll turn, by those irresistible
charging horns. When the last wolf had gone
hurting over the precipice, the two victorious
rams gazed for moment over the edge. Then
they shook themselves, turned back to the rocky
wall, and leisurely peacefully, lay down to rest

DANIEL on THE BENCH

Il refuse to be Judge who holds pub
lie office by feeding filth to the public
and waxing fat on it.
With these words and few more
bristling ones, Alva Corlett, Judge of the
common pleas court at Cleveland, Ohio
yesterday gave reporters something to
write about and other jurists something
to think about.
A woman and her two husbands, past
and present, were before the judge. The
past" was suing the present for $780,
coo, charging alienation of affections.
The plaintiff stated that while his wife
was working as secretary for the defend
ant, the latter induced her to go with
him to Mexico and divorce the past"
The Judge flayed all three, denounc-
ing them as "nincompoops." Il have
only the utmost contempt for the two
men in this case" he said, "and also for
the woman. God help society when such
people bring children into the world.
This court, paid as it is by the taxpayers,
has no time to waste in hearing an alien
alton suit when the man himself testi-
fies he didn't even have time to pay any
attention to his own child
Il am going to withdraw juror,
Judge Corlett continued, "and make this
case a mistrial. Counsel will arrange a
settlement A settlement of 81 ,000 pay
able at SO month, would seem ample.
Forthwith he carried out his program
and the case was off the calendar.
The courts action in this case is in
glaring contrast with the way similar
cases are handled in California and 9th
er states Recently we had a disgusting
case of wife swapping in the Los Angeles
cosrts, which was given all the notoriety
and publicity possible.
Granting that Judges must conform to
the law, it is quite apparent they can do
this and still show proper regard for
public morals. Protection of public NOR
ality is as much their duty as is admin
istering justice to those who come be-
fore them.
Our judiciary would be vastly improv-
ed by having more like Judge Corlett on
the bench.

LEGION CLEANING HOUSE

Imperial Valley has more than passing
interest in the dispatch from New York
yesterday announcing that Legion posts
in that state had started secret drive
to expel Communists from their ranks.
1t is only a few weeks ago that this
community had to deal with a man
claiming membership in New York Leg
ion post, but of whose radical affiliations
there was no doubt. When he was taken
into custody there was an immediate
barrage of letters and kilograms from
influential persons in the east, protest
ing against such action.
Among the protests, probably the
strongest was from Legion officials, who
emphasized the fact that the man was
Legionnaire and therefore could not be
a Communist nor a radical of any sort.
They did not know that their COM
rade." had been arrested by sheriff
who is Legionnaire, as Jealous in guard
ing the good name of the organization as
are the New York officials and perhaps
more efficient in doing so.
1t may not be that the arrest of this
man inspired the New York drive to
oust Communists from the New York
Legion, for the drive is reported to be
two months old, but the coincidence is
certainly remarkable

UNCLE wIGGILY UPSIDE DOWN

Even though spring had arrived
in Woodland near the Orange Ice
Mountains where Uncle Wiggily
lived in his hollow stump bungalow,
the weather was still a bit cold
Back of the bungalow was a large
drift of snow which the spring sun
wasn't yet strong enough to melt.
That's part of our winter left
over.' Uncle Wiggily said as he
looked at the heap Of snow. Part
of it had been blown there by the
wind and some of it came from the
yard where the rabbit gentleman
had shoveled paths in the snow in
order that Nurse Jane could hang
up the clothes on wash day.
The snow was on the shadowy
side of the bungalow and the sun
did not shine on it. That's why it
didn't melt. One day Uncle Wig
gily got ready to hop out from his
