There is only one ship in the Bering

BY ENTIRE FLEET
Sea Force to Remain Away
From Pacific Probably
About Six Months.
VISIT TO WORLDS FAIR
PLANNED DURING MAY
Leahy's Testimony America Must
Consider Europe's Alliances

Bv the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
The Navy Department today an
nounced the entire fleet would be
moved from the Pacific to the Atlantic
next year for maneuvers and to visit
the New York world fair.
Leaving its Pacific bases early in
January, the feet will be gone prob
ably six months. The visit to New
York is scheduled for May.
Confidential feet problem No. 20
will be worked out during February in
the West Indies and the Atlantic at
least as far south as the Equator, the
Navy said.
Testimony Recalled.
The announcement was made with.
out explanation, but naval circles re-
called testimony of Admiral William
D. Leahy, chief of operations. before
congressional committees this year
that the Communist alliance be-
tween Germany, Italy and Japan
must be taken into consideration BY
Americas sea defense"
The maneuvers will be the first
staged in the Atlantic since 1884.
when President Roosevelt reviewed
the feet at New York.
The Nations sea forces have been
concentrated in the Pacific-since 1882.
The Navy said after completion Of
the fleet problem III February further
exercises would be conducted in
March and April, with Guantanamo,
Cuba, as base. The ships will start
their return voyage to the Pacific, via
the Panama Canal, after the May
visit to New York.
Factors of strategy "as well as So
ciability" entered into the decision to
move the fleet, some officials said. De-
fense of the Panama Canal bulks large
in all Navy strategy.
In hearings on President Roosevelt's
proposal to authorize 20 per cent
increase in the Nays tonnage, subse-
quently enacted. Admiral Leahy told
House committee that 'the political
conditions in the world at this mo-
ment, both in Europe and in the Far
East, are far more threatening than
at any time since 1918 and no ina
provement is in sight"
From Maine to Panama.
The Navy's defense line in the At
lantic, which Admiral Leahy said
would have to be covered" in an
emergency, extends from the Maine
coast through the Virgin Islands to
Panama.
Since the feet was shifted to the
Pacific four years ago the Navy has
maintained in the Atlntic only three
obsolescent battleships of the train
ing squadron, few cruisers and mis-
cellaneous secondary craft, such as
destroyers and submarines.

BY JOHN H. CLINE.

Dr. Arthur E. Morgan's open hostil-
ity toward his co-directors of the Ten
neSsee Valley Authority began with his
failure in 1886 to prevent reappoint-
ment of David E. Lilienthal a joint
congressional committee was told to-
day.
This testimony was given by DR.
Harcourt A. Morgan, who was named
chairman of T. v. A. by President
Roosevelt after he had removed DR.
Arthur Morgan from the chairmanship
earlier in the spring on finding him
guilty of "contumacy."
Mr.. Lilienthal will submit his testi-
mony this afternoon. It is understood
he will present his case in five sections,
indicating he will require the entire
afternoon. Tomorrow the committee
may hear DR.. Arthur Morgan in re-
buttal.
This mornings witness, a former
president of the University of Ten
nessee, bears a marked resemblance to
DR.. Arthur Morgan. In appearance
more like farmer than an executive,
he obligingly complied with a request
from photographers that he straight
en- his tie" while posing for pictures
before the hearing opened.
First Hint of Denial.
Asserting that DR.. Arthur Morgan,
In testifying yesterday, had switched
his line of attack, DR.. Harcourt Nor
gan said:
Originally, it was understood Dr.
Morgan's charges against Mr.. Llien-
thal and myself were accusations OF
personal financial dishonesty and cor
ruption. Yesterday he denied he in
tended to make such charges, but that
was the first time he even hinted at
such a denial.
In all these recent months, he has
remained silent while the press, the
Congress and the general public have
been shocked by the scandal they were
led to believe existed.
Arthur Morgan can never avoid
responsibility for the most painful ex-
perience that I have suffered in nearly
40 years of connection with public un-
QeTIdkulSS.
Referring to the development of DR..
Arthur Morgan's hostility toward other
members of the board, DR.. Harcourt
Morgan said that from June 16, 1888,
to May %, 1886, the board acted on
hundreds of matters without dis
senting vote.
Says Subordinates Were Told.
Mr.. Lilienthal's term was to expire
May 18. 1886, the witness said, and
DR.. Arthur Morgan told at least two
T. V. A. subordinates he expected to
prevent his reappointment and encour-
aged them to believe he could obtain
the post for them.
On failing to prevent the reap
pointment, the witness said, DR.. Nor
gan threatened to resign.
Instead, DR.. Harcourt Morgan said,
he elected to remain a member of
the board, and, as its chairman, to
engage in a campaign of dissent and
obstruction within the organization

TOXIC, May 26-Emperor Hirohito
tonight installed two powerful generals
and towering figure in the>world of
finance as ministers in drastic cabi-
net reorganization designed to permit
more vigorous prosecution of the war
in China.
They assumed the portfolios of for
eign affairs, education and finance in
the government of Premier Prince Fu-
mimaro Konoye, replacing men ac-
cused Of weakness in the face of ma
tional emergency.
Gen. Kazushige Ugaki, former Gov
ernor General of Korea, became for
eign minister, replacing Koki Hirota.
Gen. Baron Sadao Araki, ex-war
minister, who has preached the ne
cessity Of some day fighting Soviet
Russia. took the lesser post of min
lister Of education.
Seihin Ikeda, Harvard-educated
former directing head of the vast
MitSui interests and governor of the
Bank of Japan, took the portfolio Of
finance, relinquished by Okinobu
Kaya.
Sugiyama Resigns.
Gen. Gen Sugiyama, war minister,
also resigned. The appointment of
Lieut.. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki. one of
the outstanding commanders in the
China war, as his successor was ex-
pected shortly.
Inclusion of both Ugaki and Araki
long bitter opponents in struggles for
army leadership, was believed to in
dicate an effort to rally all factions
behind efforts to win early victory in
China.
Shinji Yoshino, minister of COM
merce and industry, also resigned, and
1t was believed likely Ikeda would as
sumo his post.
As Minister of Education Araki re-
placed Marquis Koichi KIDD, Premier
Konoye's chief lieutenant, who re-
mained in the cabinet in the newly
created post Of minister of public well
fare.
The shake-up was believed to mean
that lengthy behind-the-scenes ar
gument as to whether Japanese
Armies should penetrate deeper into
China had been settled by a decision
to smash on to Hankow.
Sequel to April Crisis.
The revamping of the cabinet was
considered a sequel to the political
crisis in April. when Premier Konoye
threatened to resign unless warning
elements in his cabinet were reconciled.
During that crisis the military de-
manded enforcement of the national
mobilization bill passed by the last
Parliament and general strengthening
of the government.
The Premier complied by putting
part of the mobilization law into ef-
feet, although previously he had told
Parliament the government did not
believe it would be necessary to in
woke it during the present China in
cident." The strengthening of the
cabinet has followed.
Defeat Heightened Discord.
The major defeat suffered by the
Japanese Army at Taierhchwang, in
Shantung Province, added fuel to dis
cord in high circles in Toxic. The
army itself was divided on the question
whether to push the invasion further
