Movement of 1O5 Vessels
Starts From Two Bases

By the Associated Press.
SAN PEDRO, Calf, March IA
The fighting strength of the United
States Fleet sailed into the Pacific
today.
Movement of 105 warships started
shortly after midnight from the San
Diego and San Pedro bases.
The 1898 secret test of Americas
sea power was under way. From far
off Attu, at the tip of the Aleutian
Islands. all the way to the Panama
Canal. Navy men on ships, in planes
and at shore radio stations were on
war duty.
Down in the South Seas, at Tahiti,
the heavy cruiser Louisville was ready
to dash northward. In ASiatic waters
the light cruisers Trenton, Minneapolis
and Memphis were under sealed orders
to dash eastward.

The Black Fleet comprises battle

SUFFRAGE UNIT
TO Be ORGANIZED
Roberts Says Reasons for
Denying D. c. Vote Now
Obsolete.

Plans for making permanent,
effective organization out Of the Dis
trict Suffrage Association were pro-
crossing today under the impetus of
a radio speech delivered Saturday by
William A. Roberts, former peoples
counsel.
Speaking under the associations
auspices over Station WJSV, Mr..
Roberts announced the group will hold
a conference of delegates from rep
resentative civic organizations in the
board room of the District Building
at 8 pm. Friday for the purpose of
creating permanent set-up.
From this meeting ana from this
organization should come the coura-
geous and frank statements OF posi-
ton with respect to suffrage which
the people of the District are in a
mood to demand" Mr. Roberts said
1T deserves your attention and the
problem deserves your study"
The reasons for denial OF the ballot
to District citizens were originally
entirely personal to the trainers of
the Constitution who were familiar
with the unrest Of the populace and
its effect on the weak legislatures of
the days of the Confederation and its
Congress-" Mr.. Roberts declared.
The reasons are now obsolete. The
p.Wer of the Government of the United
States or of itc agencies could not be
affected at the present time by any
action on the part of District citizens.
Since there was no other reason for
the denial of the right to vote, this
injustice can be and should be cor
rected
The Howard Park Citizens Asoscia-
ton was on record today as indorsing
the suffrage movement and will send
three delegates to the FRIDAY meeting.

REINSTATEMENT URGED
IN CLERKS DISMISSAL
Arbiter Finds Policy Toward
Bernard Greenberg Had Been
Discriminatory

The reinstatement of Bernard
Greenberg, Works Progress Admin
istration clerk, was directed last night
by Msgr. Francis j. Haas. chosen as
arbitrator in the row between the
W. P. A. and the United Federal
Workers of America. over Greenberg's
dismissal, five months ago
The union contended the dismissal
was the result of anti-labor bias; the
w. P. A. said Greenberg was trans
ferred in June for inefhciency and
dropped in october in a general re-
duction of force.
Msgr. Haas, head of the Department
OF Sociology of Catholic University,
held that the transfer grew out of "a
discriminatory policy pursued by one
supervisor in particular" and that this
created reasonable doubt as to the
reason for the ultimate dismissal and
justified reinstatement.

ALIENS WEEDED OUT
New York National Guard Begins
Purge on Lehman's Orders.

IuTSe on Lehman 5 OTQeIS.
ALBANY, N. Y, March IA P).-
National Guard commanders, acting
under orders from Gov Lehman, today
began wedding out aliens from the
ranks of their units.
The Governor. Adjt Gen Walter G.
Robinson said, had directed the dis
charge of all alien members of the
National Guard, who, having had op-
portunity to obtain citizenship, have
failed to do so.
The Governors order, it was ex-
planned, was issued in conformity with
an act passed by Congress in con-
11ection with the National Guard ap-
preparation bill last November, which
stipulated that none of the funds ap-
propriated should be used to pay non-
citizens
Prior to last July /, any person
who had taken out his first citizenship
papers was eligible to enlist in the
National Guard.

Corporation Counsel

Continued from Page D

flee today made up sheets showing payments due of $2,619, for 39 item: of truck hire during the last Weel of December. Then of these items they said, were payments due San' talucia for truck rental. None o. /! the items was for more than $13O the rest of them varying from $1t ] to $73.75, both for salaries and rem of equipment.
 The opinion of the corporation counsel which the controller has been awaiting is as follows:
 Corporation Counsel Opinion
 Your request to Mayor Hayes fol an opinion from me whether the hiring of drivers and trucks for city work can be properly charged tc payrollS, has been received.
 I wish to advise you that nothing should be charged to payrolls ex- cept personal services of city off cers and employees,
 If the hiring of trucks includes the operator of the truck, then the personal services of the operator should not be included in the pay roll. If the city furnishes the opera tor of the truck, the services of ths operator should be included in the payroll.
 As To Contracts I note from your letter to Mayor Hayes that you consider the hiring of trucks contractural service and that you should have a copy of the contract in your office. I am also of the opinion that the hiring of trucks is a matter of contract and should be made by the depart ment or officer having the matter in charge, and if the particular hir- ing involves the expenditure of more than $1,000, a written contract should be made, which contract should be founded on sealed bids or proposals.
 Proper Officer
 The superintendent of streets sewers and water is the proper of- f1cer in charge of the hiring of truck for the department of public works, and he informs me that trucks should be hired by the hour as needed, and that it would not be practicable or for the best interest of the city to enter into a written contract for hiring of trucks, because at one time he might need only a few trucks for a day or part of day, and at an- other time in case Of a SnowStorm or some emergency, he might need twenty trucks for day or a week. The trucks to be hired depends upon the work to be done, and the need of the number of trucks is too uncertain.
 Emergency Provision
 Section 89 of the charter provides for such an emergency. The super intendent of streets, etc, should make a written statement to the mayor giving the reasons for which the trucks are hired, the mayor, if he concurs, endorsing his approval

 Approximately IS persons, called as witnesses by the office of the states attorney, were awaiting call by the grand jury.
