GOVERNMENT MAY BE FORCED CHANGE
 PLANS OF DEFENSE
System National Dcfensen May Be AL tered Due To Alleged Revelation
 Navy Secret Maneuvers to Japan
(Bv The Associated Press,

(By The Associated Press,
 WASH, D. C.. July l6th-The government may be forced to make far reaching re- visions in it's national defense strategy as the result of alleged betrayal of secret battle and fleet mmeuver tactics to the Japanese by John s. Farnsworth, banished from the service nine years ago, Acting Secretary of the Navy William Standley, said today. He asserted that naval intelligence officers whose investigation of Farnsworth's activities led to his
 arrest here early yesterday, had not yet been able to ascertain the extent of the confidential data which the former American nav al officer is accused of transmit ing to the Japanese.
 Until this is known, Standley said, the Navy will not act. Of- ficials expect to get this informa- ton in a fortnight, when Earns worth is brought before U. s. Commissioner Needham Turnage for a hearing on a charge of es- pionage.
 The peace time penalty for this crime is 20 years imprisonment and the war time penalty is death.
 It was disclosed today that Farnsworth attempted to, more than year ago, to get permis- sion from the government to cov- CT American fleet maneuvers in the Western Pacific as a represen tative of a newspaper syndicate. His application was rejected when he failed to submit a formal let ter from the syndicate which he said had given him the assign ment.
