 What Bill Provides
 1.-Increase in enlisted strength from the present 88,000 men to an average of 96,500.
 2.-Increase in marine corps per- sonnel from 16,000 to 1000.
 3.-Expenditure of l32,500, ,000 for work on ships now under con- struction and on 12 destroyers and six submarines to be laid down.
 4.-Appropriation of $40,000 for aviation development, including 333 new planes, or about the same out lay of funds for the current fiscal year.
 Increase of Men
 In the event of war the navy would need about 10000 officers and 182,O0O men within three months, according to estimates revealed with introduction of the bill.
 The estimate was submitted to the committee by Rear Admiral Ad0lphus Andrews. chief of the bureau of navigation. He testified in support of an appropriation of $8,7D0, 900 to train reserves for the navy, so that it may expand rap idly in the event of hostilities.
 We have estimated in our war plans," he said, that in case of an emergency we will need about 10000 officers and about 182,000 men for the first 120 days of an emergency. We need that time in training other men to fill in the fleet.
 We are now operating battle ships on about an 85 per cent con- plement. The reserves would come in to fill the additional number on board the different ships"

 HANGING SCENE

Wellesley, Mass, April 30-UP)- The Wellesley school committee was hanged in effigy atop 60-foot flag pole in the yard of Ganialiel Brad ford memorial high school today - apparently as a protest against the removal of Dr. s. Monroe Graves, veteran superintend of schools.

 The school committee has ordered the removal of Graves, effective July 3l. alleging that he has fail- cd to establish a continuity among Wellesley's primary, junior high and hlSh schools; that he has failed to cooperate with the committee; and has failed to properly supervise teachers. He has been superintend- ent 22 years.

Boston, April -(UP)-New Eng land retail trade showed an im- provement this week, wholesale val ume was well maintained, while manufacturing operations were in- creased, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, re- ported today.
 Although wool stocks are low, quo- tations were irregular, and the present trend of the market difficult to ascertain. Very large quantities of foreign wool have been imported by the Boston dealers, but these stocks are moving very slowly at present. Manufacturers are mak- ing inquiries regarding wool suitable for woolens but very few orders have been placed. Wool top quo- tations remained unchanged, and the market was quiet. Deliveries on old orders are being made in mod- crate quantity.

 Nominally, quotatoins were about unchanged from last week. Some strictly combing bright fleeces were offered for delivery within the next few weeks at 35 cents in the grease Most houses were asking 36-37 cents but mills showed. little interest.

cent decline, as compared with March, 1885. Rumors of curtailment caused a furry in the gray goods buying, and the sale of about 25,000, = 900 yards placed the market in a much better position. The present stocks of fine goods are quite low, and the mills in New Bedford and Fall River have been working their affairs into better shape. The raw material is firmer, and the mills ap- pear quite well supplied for their needs. Prices in the staple lines of cotton goods have strengthened somewhat.
 Clothing Makers Busy
 Clothing manufacturers continued active, and received a good volume of orders for fall delivery. The business of the garment manufac- turers was hindered considerably by labor trouble, and they were only moderately active. Rayon fabrics were fairly active, and consid- erable new business was placed with the yarn manufacturers. The de- mand for cotton yarns was steady but moderate and competition kept prices at low level.
 Volume buyers of mems and wo- mems shoes came into the market for larger quantities of merchandise, and many manufacturers operated their cutting rooms at near to ca- pacity. Leather prices were firmer and tanners were holding close to current deliveries for their mer- chandise.
 Building and engineering opera tions in New England show slight increase this month over April, 1885.
 High Costs Hit Farmers
 Farmers in the Metropolitan area, market gardeners and dairymen are having difficulty in operating at a profit, owing to present high costs. Competition from southern and western grown produce is becoming more serious. Unfavorable weather has reduced the maple sugar crop to about Is per cent of normal

Houston, Tex, April 30-UP)- Winthrop Rockefeller, a young man who works for the Humble Oil and Refining company here, carried the difference" between himself and whatever parties might get the idea he would be good material for a Kidnapping today. Since he came here two years ago to learn the oil business-which his father, John D.

 Apparently the threats were re- newed recently, for yesterday Rock efeller visited the sheriffs office and had himself made a deputy with the privilege of carrying a gun. Rockefeller's application, which much be approved by the county commissioners court, said he want ed the commission-and the gun to protect himself from fanatics or others who might seek to do him harm" Neither Rockefeller nor w.

Incinerator as Only Solu-

BY staff Correspondent OF Tne Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md. July TO-
Yielding to persistent complaints from
residents of the River road dump
area, the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission will close the refuse
ground September /, it was announced
today by T Howard Duckett, chair
man of the commission.
The decision climaxes several
months of protest by individuals and
organizations in the Bladensburg-
Tuxedo -Cheverly district. which re-
Gently crystallized in threatened in

to enjoin operation of the dump at

the complaints.

simultaneously with the announce
ment OF the commissions action,
Duckett said the body docs not ex-
pect, within the near future, to estab-
lish another dump, unless a suitable
place can be located by some civic
group" But he declared the COM
mission will present the problem to
the State Assembly next January to

Opened last December after authori-

dump has been administered by con-

Duckett Issues Statement.
In a statement issued today. Duckett
said:
THE law grew out of the nuisance
created by the constant dumping of
all kinds of material on unimrroved
private property, sides of roads, in the
stream beds and practically every
where else that a man with load of
trash could find a place to leave the
refuse unobserved.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
commission closely supervised the
dump, protests began to come in from
adjoining property owners and then
from civic organizations Of all kinds,
until 1t has now grown to point
where the public seems to demand
abolition of this dump. Whatever may
be its benefit and convenience to the
area in general. the commission does
not feel that it can continue the opera
ton of the dump in the face Of con-
slant and rising opposition in its
vicinity, and therefore, decided to dis
continue it entirely.
THE commission regrets, of course.
this return to the old system of boot
Logging trash but we do not feel we
should foist public dump on COM
munity that seriously objects to 1t.

Ne,U Plea for Fund
For Span Orer Bay
Iv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 16-The Public
Works Administration will consider a
new application for Chesapeake Bay
bridge funds, Secretary Ickes had in
dicated today, provided the amount
requested from the Government is
substantially reduced.
In a letter to Senator Millard E.
Tydings, Ickes gave no assurance
money would be forthcoming if a new
application is filed. Senator Tydings,
however, advised Albert D. Graham,
chairman Of the Bay Bridge Author
ity, to file such an application at the
earliest date possible.
TT seems apparent that this is the
last opportunity to secure Federal
assistance for the building of the
bridge" Tydings informed Graham.
Graham said the entire plan for
financing the bridge rests on the re-
quest for an outright P. w. A. grant
Of s4,5O0000. With this sum at hand,
there would be prospects Of a Recon-
struction Finance Corp. loan Of $2,-
100000. and the securing Of sufficient
additional funds from other sources
