The Commissions order pro-
vided that if a subscriber wants
to change from the old-style tele-
phone to the French type, be-
tween March 81 and December
/, he must pay a charge of 81.
However. on a new installation,
the Commission ordered there
should be no extra charge for a
French phone between March
81 and the end of the year.
The fight to ELIMINATE the special
charge for the hand-set telephones
was started by William A. Roberts
during his term as Peoples Coun-
sci, and William NICK. Clayton,
veteran utilities representative of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS.
When the phones first were in
stalled there was an extra charge
of IS cents a month indefinitely.
Later, through the efforts of Rob
ertS and Clayton, this charge was
cut to IS cents a month until $3.50
had been paid. Still later, the
present rate of $1.8O on the in
stallment plan and $3.50 cash, was
ordered.

BIG NAVY BILL
NEAR VICTORY
IN HOUSE
Otter Wants to Know
Who u. S. Is Making
Plans Against
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

Overwhelming sentiment for a
strong national defense today pro-
PEELED the $526, 100000 annual
naval supply bill toward passage
in the House.
Repeated attacks by the little
Navy bloc" gained little headway
as Administration leaders forecast
passage Of the bill virtually un-
changed.
While opponents demanded the
measure be cut 100000, 900, the
big Navy bloc" decided that no
organized effort would be made by
them to restore the $35, 1000, 900
cut made by the Appropriations
Committee, under President RooSe-
velt's budget estimate.
Otter Sees Passage
Representative Otter (R) Of
Pennsylvania, member of the sub
committee which framed the bill,
declared:
"The tide is running strong
in the House for adequate ma
tiOnal defense. There is no doubt
the bill will win.
Representative Biermann CD
OF Iowa, fighting the measure, re-
ceived pledges from some mem
berS, including Representative Hill
CD of Oklahoma, to vote against
the entire measure. He demanded:
"WhO are we preparing
against? Not England, not Ger
many, not France? Is it Japan?
Japan cannot come $500 miles
to San Francisco and success
fully invade this country. We
are asked to appropriate this
huge sum without knowing who
we are preparing against.
CALLS FEARS BUNK
"This talk about the United
States being invaded by q
foreign power, or a cOmbina-
tiOn of foreign powers, is all
bunk"
There was a possibility chat
members who proclaim the super.
iority of arishipS over battleShips
might try to prevent appropria-
ton Of $14,OOO,0OO toward con-
Struction of two new battleshipS
at cost of $50, $4,000 each.
Representative Umstead Cd Of
North Carolina, in charge of the
measure, declined an invitation
by Representative Fish (R.) Of
New York, to add a rider, call
ing upon the President to con-
vene a world armamentS confer
ence to halt naval and military
preparedness programs.
