NAVY IN TESTS
FOR PACIFIC
WAR GAMES
By RALPH B. JORDAN

LOS ANGELES HARBOR, Cal,
April S GN.S).-Intent upon
reaching maximum efficiency for
their big annual fleet problem, Of
ficers and men today took Uncle
Sans fighting craft to sea for
their last tuning up before setting
sail April Is for the maneuvers,
slated for Hawaiian waters this
year. to test defense Of the islands.
The fleet will return to its two
bases Los Angeles and San
Diego-the latter part Of this
week and complete taking on
stores and oil. Then it will lie at
anchor until the zero" hour for
the start of the 1887 war games,
technically known as fleet prob
lem 10.
The problem, several details of
which were released today by Ad-
miral A. j. Hepburn, commander
in-chief, and his staff, viii see the
mightiest armada in American
history riding the Pacific. Headed
by 10 battleshipS, the backbone"
of the fleet, the parade of sea
strength will total 139 ships, in
Guiding cruisers, destroyers, sub
marines, plane carriers and auxil-
iaries. An impressive showing of
naval aviation will be made by
474 planes.
At an unannounced time the
fleet will arrive off Oahu, in the
Hawaiian group, and launch an
attack on the important island, on
which Honolulu is located and
which includes Pearl Harhor, the
Nays vital base in the Pacific.
The Army will attempt to fend
off the fleet with some Of the
most modern defenSes in the
world from Uncle Sans largest
Army post.

monthly allotmentS Of pay.
The functions of the Corps ex-
pire under authority Of present
law on June 80, 1887.
In my budget message to Con-
greSs on January of this year
I indicated that the corps should
be continued and recommended
that legislation be enacted during
the present session. to establish
the corps as a permanent agency
of the Government. Such con-
tinuance or establishment is de-
Sirable Notwithstanding the great
strides that have been made to-
ward national recovery, as there
is still need for providing useful
and, healthful employment for a
large number of our youthful citi-
zenS.
1 am convinced that there is
ample useful work in the protec'
ton, restoration and development
of our natural resources, upon
which the services of the corps
may be employed advantageously
for an extended future period. 1t
should be noted that this program
will not in any respect reduce nor
NAL employment opportunities for
our adult workers; in fact, the
purchase of simple materials, OF
food and clothing and of other
supplies required for the opera
tionS of the corps tends to in
crease employment in industry.
I recommend, therefore, that
provision be made for a permanent
corps of 100000 youths (and wal
veterans), together with. 10000
Indians and 5000 enrollees in oul
territories and inSular possessions
It would appear. after careful
study of available information
that, with improved business con
ditions, these numbers represent
the maximum expected enroll
ment. To go beyond this number
at this time would open new anC
difficult classifications of enroll
ment, and the additional .coSt
would seriously affect the financia
position of the Treasury.
trust that the Congress will
deem it wise to enact Legislation
making permanent the Civilian

financial situation of the Treas

an appropriation of $500, 000. 900

UeltS message tollo1DS::
On March 81, 1888, I addressed
q message to the Congress in
which I stated:
81 propose to create a cavilian
conservation corps to be used in
simple work, not interfering
with normal employment, and
combining itself to forestry, the
prevention of soil erosion, flood
control and similar projects.
call your attention to the fact
that this type of work Is Of
definite, practical value, not
only through the prevention of
great present financial loss, but
also as n means of creating
future national wealth."
The prompt consideration
given to this message by Congress
resulted in the enactment, on
March 81, 1888, of Public - No.
s. to provide for the relief Of I'M
employment through the perform
ance of useful public work; and
on April S, 1888, by Executive or

the above act into effect.

Compromise Sought
In Strike Row on Hill
International News Service


Unable to stem bipartisan de-
mandS for an expression Of policy
condemning the sit-down strike,
Senate leaders today sought q
compromise.
They appealed to Senator
Byrnes Cd of South Carolina. to
withdraw from the Guffey coal
bill his amendment which would
condemn the use Of labor's newest
weapon in the soft-coal fields.
Headed by Majority Leader Rob
inSon Cd of Arkansas, a group Of
Senators took this course when
Senator Bailey CD of North Caro-
lima. SteadfaStly objected to par
liamentary procedure designed to
stay the crisis temporarily.
Although ByrneS was willing,
Bailey objected to withdrawal of
the amendment in favor of two
joint resolutions which condemn
the Sit-down strike in all indus
tries engaged in interstate COM
merce.
Bailey declared senator PlGC-
ban CD of Nevada and Senator
King CD of Utah sought to
"bury" the issue. He contended
the resolutions would be killed
in committee, thus admitting to
the nation that the Senate is
afraid to take stand against this
lawleSSneSS.
Bailey likewise shook his head
at q counter proposal introduced
by Senator Schwellenbach CD
Of Washington. 1t would have
the effect of outlawing all sit
down strikes in cases where the
employer had submitted the labor
dispute to the National Labor Re
1ations Board for arbitration.
