DEFENSE BILLS
TOTAL BILLION
Congress May Act Soon on
Record Peace Time
Requests.
By United Press

By OnLted Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Con-
greSsional leaders cleared the way
today for prompt action on national
defense measures calling for record
peace time appropriations of $l,0O0,-
600, 900.
Rep. Tilman B. Parks Cd, Ark
chairman of special House Appro-
priatlon subcommittee handling the
War Department supply bill, indi-
Gated his report would be forth
coming within the next 10 DAYS
calling for approximately $575, o0O,-
900.
This is far more than the S423,-
100000 allotted the Army last year.
MOST OF the increase is accounted
for by earmarking $129 ,OOO. 900 for
river and harbor projects authorized
previously, but for which no funds
were appropriated.
Six of the defense costs were dis
closed as half a dozen measures
were being considered in House
committees to give the United
States a parity, at least, with world
leaders on air, land and sea forces.
The House Subcommittee on
Naval Appropriations is expected to
swing into action just as soon as the
war Department bill is completed
The budget calls for $751; ,3O8. 3o9
Last year the Navy got $3.50 900 900,
a large portion of which went for
building the fleet toward treaty
strength in a f1ve-year program.
May Cut Army Request
Authoritative indications were
that the Army's request for 400 new
planes during the next fiscal wear
would be pared down to SOB because
OF other large items carried in the
bill. - '-
Parks said he believed the appro-
prlatlon for strengthening army de-
lenses in Hawaii, the Panama Canal
zone, and along the coast would
total about $16,0O0,OOO.
meanwhile, Chairman John 7
McSWaln Cd, S. c., of the House
Military Affairs Committee is pre-
pairing a bill calling for a five-vear
army airplane construction program
OF 300 planes annually at a total
cost of $5O,OO0,oOO.
Bills are being prepared in the
military and naval affairs commit
tees to strengthen the nations
military reserve strength.
McSwain's committee is boosting
a Dill to create junior air reserve
Ior colleges and schools. The Naval
AHalrs Committee is conducting
hearings on measure to revise the
1928 Naval Reserve Act to bring the
reserve and regular naval forces into
closer contact.
Director Eugene Vidal, of the
Commerce Departments Air Com
merce Bureau, disclosed plans to
utilize the $4,000 CCC enrolment
1or development of pilots and planes.

SMITH SET FOR
LEAGUE SPEECH
New Yorker Expected to
Condemn New Deal in
Talk Tonight.
Continued From Page One)

the annual Liberty League meeting
at which Smith is expected to state
the case for non-partisan opposition
to President Roosevelt
Sitting with Smith as fellow
League member will be John j,
Raskob, the little man who was
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee from 1928 70 1882
The league dinner is the beginning
OF three weeks of explosive cam
paign oratory. Senator William E
Borah and Gov. ALT M. Landon of
Kansas, both potential Republican
presidential nominees, will speak
next week in Brooklyn and Topeka,
respectively.
Bitter Attack Expected
On Feb. 12-Hincoln's birthday
Senator Arthur v. Vandenberg of
Michigan, and former President
Hoover will invite politically
minded listeners to speeches which
will headline a general burst of
Lincoln Day Republican oratory.
Senator Vandenberg speaks in New
York, Mr.. Hoover on the West
Coast.
Speculation on Smiths kpeech
assumed that it would be biting
arraignment of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration in the best tradition of
one of Americas foremost platform
performers.
The address is expected to have
significance as an indication of
1886 campaign trends and even per-
hapS to make a keynote for nom
partisan opposition to the New
Deal.
Technically a Democrat
Smith still is a Democrat, TECH
nically of the same party as Pres
ident Roosevelt. But a distinct
GOODNESS has arisen. And the Re-
publican National Committee is
moving into the political battle with
the cry that New Dealers are not
genuine Democrats and that many
Democrats would find themselves
happier in the opposition camp.
Popular interest in the Smith
speech is at high pitch. 1t started
with the excitement over his re-
lection of an invitation to stay at
the White House during his Wash
ington Sojourn.
He will begin his talk about 10
p. m. g Indianapolis time).
