LEAHY WARNS
AGAINST CUT
IN NAVY.
international News Service


The Navy must be kept in fight
ing trim so long as world condi
tions are unsettled.
This warning was given to Con
greSs by Admiral William D.
Leahy, chief of Naval Operations
in testimony before the House
Appropriations Subcommittee on
the annual Naval supply bill,
made public today.
At the same hearing the Navy
submitted revised estimates show
ing that it will cost S584, 1854 a
year to maintain a treaty Navy
on the scrapped treaty ratio of
equality with Great Britain and
superiority to Japan. Admiral
Leahy said:
81 need only to refer to the
political conditions in the world
at this moment, both in Europe
and in the Far East, to empha-
size the fact that the Navy must
be prepared for eventualitieS that
may develop from the interna-
tiOnaI situation and that our
Government may be brought sud-
denly face to face with q situa-
ton that it had no part in Great
ing and over which it may have
no control.
For this reason, in consider
ing the estimates of the Navy,
conditions in the world on all
sides of us must be considered,
together with the strength of our
Navy as compared with the
strength of other great naval
powers"
Asserting that the Navy had
pruned its costs, Admiral Leahy
warned that it would "be leopard
izing our security to reduce our
present number of vessels and air.
craft in full commission, to delay
or reduce our hip-building or air
craft programs, or to fail to build
up our shore establishments and
reserve stocks in support Of the
fleet"
Facilities must be built up on
the Pacific Coast, he said, to sup
port the fleet in time of peace.
He revealed that present plans
call for the fleet to remain on
the West Coast next year.

strategic mineral reserves.
Defending its reductions, the
committee said the truth is that
but a relatively small portion of
the latter sum may said to be any
thing but a deferment.'
Predict High Costs
Forecasting higher future costs
as the Navy is built to treaty

"New and larger units, mod
ernly and more technically
equipped are continually join
in; up with the fleet. 1t is pre-
dicted that IS new vessels will

entail additional costs for per
sonnel, new outfits, operating
supplies, and fleet maintenance

the policy of Congress of building

Sibility of the Navy entering into

cluded a rider" prohibiting use

AUTOGRAPH COLLECTING NO
CINCH AS AN AVOCATION

COUNCIL BLUFFS, ia. UP)-
Vance jenkins had considerable
luck in operating his hobby of
collecting combined postmarks and
autographs until he encountered
Jack Dempsey.
After weeks of trying, jenkins
obtained letters bearing postmarks
from the towns of Jack, Dempsey,
Manasa and Mauler. FASTING them
on an envelope he sent them to
Dempsey in New York with the re-
quest that the conqueror of Jess
Willard, Louis Angel Firpo and 9TH
erS autograph the envelope and re-
turn it to him.
Instead he received a letter from
Dempsey, reading:
Nuts to you, big boy. Send along
another one, and I'll autograph it
and return it to YOU. l intend TO
keep this one myself
To make things worse, jenkins
found that the postoffice depart
ment had changed the names Of
ManaSsa and Mauler, or had dis-
continued the offices, SO that his
collection will be incomplete
Jenkins also had a disappointment
in the case of former King Ed
ward.

Drive Plan
Bureau
Problems Discussed
At Monthly Meet
Of Group

A countrywide member
ship drive will be conducted
May Z and 8 by the Imperial
County Farm Bureau ac-
cording to plans made Sat
urday at the monthly meeting OF
the directros in the court house.
Frank L. Pierce, organization dir
ector for the California Farm Bu-
reau Federation, met with the dir
ectors and discussed some of the
problems in conducting member
ship drives which other counties
have experienced, offering a plan
for a drive which has proven high
ly successful wherever tried
The directors voted to accept
Pierce's proposal and will follow
the outline suggested by him. TWO
breakfasts will be held. one on Fri
day in the southend, at the Califor-
MA hotel in FL Centro. and one on
Saturday in the northend at the
Brawley Dunlack. Both affairs will
start at a. m.
Teams of workers will meet with
Pierce at the breakfast and from
there will go out to cover the terri
tory in their respective centers, COM
pleting the drive in one day. Each
center is to have group OF 10
workers, two to a team, making a
total of five teams.
The various committees reported
progress on farm bureau projects
and considerable time was devoted
to a discussion of Imperial Irriga-
ton District assessments. A reso-
luton was finally passed declaring
it to be the sense of the meeting
| that District assessments should
take a downward trend and that
this sentiment should be conveyed
to w. A. McFadden, assessor collect
or. Some attempts were made tC
set a maximum figure for assessed
valuations but were voted down.
After the meeting it was founo
that the fair committee meeting
set for next Saturday would con-
flict with the northend member
ship drive and it was decided tC
postpone the committee meeting.
