Nation VIII Observe
NavyDay October II
Name of President Theodor Roosevelt Connected with
Event Now at Its Sixteen tn Anniversary; Ships OF
NAVY At Port Ca Be Inspected

during the month of OCTOBER 1''o'
members of the Continental congress
introduced the first Navy Bill wnicn
called for the construction of the SHIPS
which formed the nucleus OF our pre-
sent day Navy. The second reasol,
why October q was the day selecteu
to celebrate Navy Day was because
it is the anniversary OF the plrtn u
Theodore Roosevelt who was born on
October ~27, 1858, in New York City
It is fitting and proper that the mem

So honored, for Roosevelt, more than
anv one man in the history of our
country, adopted, preached and pur-
sued an aggressive policy with re-
spect to the building and maintaining
of Navy of strength adequate to
our needs and position as great
world power.
This year marks the 18th annual OBJ
servance of Navy Day. Each year has
found the general public of seaboard
cities and inland towns responding
with more enthusiasm. Today we find
people who were uniformed about
their Navy very busy making prepara-
tons to place the Navy before the
public on Navy Day. Editors OF IN

will stage Navy Day programs; and
in time to come the entire popula-
ton will be made more acquainted

In connection with the observance
of NAVY Day throughout the United
States next Wednesday,, October ~
the following article about the ami
yersary is released by the navy re
cruiting service:
The possibilities of day to be set
aside to bring our Navy to the at
tention of the American public were
conceived by Mrs. H. Hamilton, found
er of the National Navy Club of New
York.
NAVY Day was first sponsored by
the Navy League of the United STATES
a volunteer organization of individuals
who seek to place information about
the American Navy before citizens OF
the United States. Navy Day was
first inaugurated in 1922, and since
that time the official approval and CO.
operation of practically all patriotic
and veterans organizations have been
offered in support of the observance
of the day.
The sponsors of Navy Day sought
tn establish at least one day in the
year when the people will turn tnelr
thoughts in a special way to what
their Navy means to them, where spe-
cial articles will be timely in the press
and when tribute can be paid to the
past and present services OF the Navy
to the American people.
The day selected to hold the an
nual observance of Navy Day was
October 9th. This day was chosen

Raleigh, Jan. 11.-PreSident Roose-
velt's direct appeal to the governor
and Legislature of North Carolina is
likely to prove the final driving fore ;
necessary for adoption of the Fedora
child labor amendment, Major A. l..
Fletcher, comm sioner of labor, be-
lieves.
The labor department head pointed
out that it is the first time the Pres:-
cent has issued such an appeal and he
expressed the opinion it may prove
the deciding factor in consideration
of the matter.
-Four years ago, the President was
quoted widely as in favor of the
amendment, but it was not believed
that he had a direct, vital interest in
the question and in North Carolina,
as throughout the South, the oppon-
ents of Federal control of the child
labor situation prevailed" he said.
'But now that Mr.. Roosevelt put
the whole weight of his tremendous
influence behind the amendment, pros
poets for its passage in North Caro-
lima are bright"
Major Fletcher said that he has not
made any careful survey of the pres
ent assembly personnel and could not
count noses accurately with refer

ROOSEVELT HOLDS
TO DETERMINATION
TO REDUCE RELIEF
President Defies Pressure
for More Money In Send
ing Bulky Report
To Congress

Washington, JAM 11-(AP)-De-
spite mounting pressure from a dozen
states for increased relief, President
Roosevelt sent to Congress today a
sheaf of reports rejecting his hope
to peg relief rolls at the two million
mark for the rest of the fiscal year.
Technically, the two-inch thick
volume was the accounting Of the six
billion dollars appropriated for re-
covery and relief since 1895.
Actually the significant new infor-
nation the report contained was the
fact that relief jobs were pared down
to 1884, 1000, cutting off $4,000 work
ers in the first two weeks in Deem
Der.
Drought relief accounted for the
bulk of the reduction, so regular re-
lief rolls were not reduced by more
than $4,000.
The President, in his budget mes
sage last week said he wanted to hold
WPA expenditures to $650,0OO,OO0 for
the rest of the fiscal year ending
June 80.
