FORMER DEPUTY
DENIES THUCCERY
Ball Tells Harlan Jury He
Knew of No Activity
Against Unions.
Ey the Associated Press,

LONDON. KY. June 24.-Anti-
union "gun-thugging" by company
paid deputy sheriffs which the Gov
ernment charges occurred in Harlan
coal fields was something he neither
knew about or took part in. Ex-Deputy
Lon E. Ball told the Harlan labor trial
jury today.
With loud-voiced mo, sirs," and II
absolutely did not's," Ball, medium
sized and partly bald, declared that he
was not in the company of other
deputies the day in January, 1887,
when ambush shots we're fired at Mar
shall Musick. an organizer, and his
wife and had nothing to do with the
fatal shooting of Bennett Musick. son
Of Marshall Musick, or other acts Of
violence charged to deputies. He de-
MED all other charges.
Eyewitness Story.
The Government charges Harlan
coal operators, acting through their
association, conspired to keep miners
from joining the union.
Eyewitness testimony on the Staying
of deputy sheriff was in prospect as
the Harlan trial neared the end of its
sixth week.
Forney johnson, defense attorney,
said he would produce witnesses who
saw Owen Sizemore, a deputy on the
pay roll Of a mining company, killed
as he stood in the Blue Diamond
Mining camp reading literature dis
tributed by union organizers in 1881.
Mr.. Johnston said eye witnesses to
the "belling" Of mine camp physician
DR.. N. B. Payne, would also be called
to the stand.
Efforts of the defense to put the
stories of the killing and belling into
the record yesterday failed when Judge
II. Church Ford sustained Government
objections to hearsay testimony.
Mr.. Johnston said DR.. Payne was
driven from Perry County in 1894 with
cowbell tied around his neck
Quiz of Operator Fails.
The defense attempted unsucessfully
to question William H. Seinknecht,
operator of the Blue Diamond mine
in Perry County, regarding the in
ciGcnts. Mr.. Seinknecht and his
mining company were discharged as
defendants in the labor trial last week.
The remaining defendants are II

tives and % former mine guard

vert the unioniZation Of miners.

tional guard of 22O,0O0 men. prop erIy organized and equipped, the United States could, in case ot emergency, marshal overnight a compact striking force of 2O5, ,00O men and still have in reserve a force of IS national guard divi- sions of 4250 men each which would be a framework for such additional volunteer forces as might be needed.
 Such a striking force could beat of any hostile xpeditioaary force which could .conceivably be put down on American shores. It could seize such island outposts as might be required in a Caribbean or Paci1 f1c war, or serve as an expeditio tionary force m any other field which q policy designed to preserve Aneri1 can security might require.
 Furthermore, Major Eliot esti1 mates that to maintain such arl army would cost barely 25 pei cent more than the army nov| costs. No conscription would bd necessary; nor would a tremendou4 expansion of Americas industrial plant be needed in order to equil and service such an army.
 As to the army air force: present plans contemplate a total of 232d Seryiceable planes. This number| says Major Eliot, should be sufi1 cient = provided, as always, thai we figure on new world securitI and decide against participation in wars overseas.

fense on it's present basis rather than setting up a separate depart ment for 1t as so many air en- thuSiaSts have urged.
 NEED CRUISERS
 AND DESTROYERS
 How big fleet would such a pro- gram involve?
 For our purposes, says Major Eliot, the present battleship program which contemplates IS battleships of an aggregate of $50, ,000 tons-iS ade- quate. If it should develop that Japan is building the huge battle ships which have been rumored, these figures should be revised up- ward; otherwise, they are sufficient.
 In cruisers, we probably need 45. We now have, built or are build ing, IS heavy cruisers and nine light cruisers; the addition of IS light cruisers would fill the bill.
 As to deStroyerS, the present pro- gram-which calls for total ton mage of 238,000-is possibly ade- quate but, according to Major Eliot, might well be revised upward to some extent. The submarine pro- gram, which calls for some 56 ves- Sels of 81,957 tons, is probably in- adequate; a total of 30 subs is con- sidered essential by Major Eliot. Of light patrol vessels, a few experi- mental types should be built; but since these vessels can be produced rapidly, no large number is required before the outbreak of war.
 ONLY SMALL
 ARMY NEEDED
 America now has five airplane carriers, with a capacity of 56O planes. The Vinson bill provides for 40,000 additional tons in this class; when these ships are built our car- rier strength should be ample. h. cidentally the total of 5000 naval aircraft called for in the Vinson bill is perhaps adequate, but cer- tainly not excessive.

unWteldy military machine in un- dergoing any degree of regimenta- tion.
 This authority is Major George Fielding Eliot; his findings are presented in a book, "The Ram parts We Watch" just published by Reynal and Hitchcock.
 THE PROGRAM
 FOR DEFENSE
 Assuming that America wants simply to guard her own shores, defend the New World and protect her interests in the Pacific, Major Eliot asserts that the job can be done far more cheaply than most people suppose. Such 8 program, he says, re- quires the nation to base its de- fense on the following principles: 1-To maintain a fleet stronger than any fleet or combination of fleets which can be assumed as possible antagonists in either ocean.
 2To keep that fleet concen- trated in one ocean.
 eTo. maintain an army strong enough to defend all fleet bases (both on the continent and in out lying possessions like Hawaii and Panama), to guard the United States principal seaports and to furnish a mobile, instantly -avail- able force which could deal with any possible landing force or pro- vide 8 small expeditionary force for offensive warfare. Included under this heading is the main- tenance of an air force capable of meeting any conceivable attack, and suf1ciency of anti-aircraft units.
 4To make the Panama Canal impregnable, and to supplement it by construction of a canal across Nicaragua.
 5-To keep our army and navy separate, but to make full plans for their cooperation when neces- sary; and to continue the air de.
