World Crisis Is Boon
 To Career Of Diplomats
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service WriLer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. = The world crisis is giving Uncle Sam's career diplomats the biggest break they've had in years
 In the midst of the turrnoils, the Roosevelt administration is turning more and more to experienced men who have made foreign affairs their life work.
 This is not mere accident The career men have shown their abil- ity to take trouble in large doses, where the casual political ap- pointee sometimes has not known how to stand the gaff
 Even now a shake-up is under way Hugh Wilson, the quiet-spos- en Chicagoan who started at the bottom of the ladder, is headed for Berlin, to succeed pr. William E. 'Dodd, resigned, as Ambassador to Germany, one of the four most important posts. Norman Armour, a naturalized Englishman who has seen service in nine capitals, is on the way to Chile.
 Salaries Up to S17,500
 Other career men already are carrying the load in trouble spots. Ex-Lion Hunter Joseph c. Grew is holding the fort in difficult Tokyo; the delft William Phillips of Rev. erly, Mass, in our diplomatic con- tact with Mussolini; and that vet eran of the far east, Nelson T. Johnson, has been shuttling back and forth through China during the ino-Japanese war.
 The 60-od d men in important diplomatic posts are known as heads of missions. Some of them, the ambassadors, make $17,500 a year, and others, the ministers, get $10,000 year. All of them get a few extra dollars for some of their expenses.
 In times past, political leaders, prominent men, and patronage seekers have regarded diplomatic plums as their particular fruit Some such men proved to be cork ing good ambassadors, such as Benjamin Franklin, John Jay and Charles Francis Adams, but many have been stuffed shirts.

Oregon Senator
 Resigning Post
 On January } 1
Democratic Successor Has Inside Track for
 Empty Chair

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 27.-Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, will re- sign from his Senatorial post, Jan uary 31, according to announcement today.
 Senator Steiwer previously an- nounced his withdrawal from pub- lie life to take effect at the com pletion of his second term as Sem ator on December 31, 1888.
 T will be indebted to you," Gov Charles H. Martin of Oregon said Senator Steiwer wrote him, If you can advise successor and if I can be of assistance in the organization and performance of it's work on be- half of the State of Oregon, I am completely at your service
 Gov. Martin made no immediate comment as to who would succeed SteiWer. It is reported that Steiw- CT had assured Republican leaders that he would not resign, and these leaders now feel that a Democratic successor to fill the unexpired term has an inside track for the nomina- ton.
 The names of D. O. Hood, former State Director of Budget, and for mer Gov. Oswald West, have been mentioned as possible successors to Steiwer.
 When Senator Steiwer announced last fall that he would not run again TOT office, he explained that he wanted to enter private law prac- tice.

NAVAL SURVEY
 WILL BE MADE OF JUNEAU AREA
Chamber Backs Anchorage Basketball Irip-Consid-
 CTS Fairbanks Queen

A logistic survey, study to de- Itermine transportation and other facilities for handling equipment and supplies, is to be made in the
 Juneau area by the Navy, it was revealed in a communication to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce to- day at it's luncheon meeting in Percy's Cafe.
 A letter from Lieut.. Edward P. Jones of the United States Naval Reserve in Seattle stated that he, assisted by Lieut.. Boundy, had been named by the Commandant of the 18th Naval District to make such a survey and requested the list of
 business firms in this city.
 Whether the survey was being made in connection with naval de-
 velopment at Sitka and other points
 in Alaska was not revealed.
 Endorsement of the plan to send a Juneau basketball team to the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous was giv-
 en by the Chamber after an expla- nation by Jack Fowler, President of the City Basketball League. Fow- Ter pointed out that merchants and
 business houses were not to be asked
 to donate but that tickets would be sold to individuals for the dance and basketball game, proceeds of which will go to defray the expenses ot the team.
 Suggestion made in The Empire of choosing a queen to represent Juneau at the Ice Carnival in Fair banks in March was brought up by President Charles w. Carter, who
 said he would take the matter be- fore the next meeting of the Exc cutive Board. He said it was hoped
 to have Joe Crosson, President oi the Fairbanks Dog Derby and Ice Carnival, at next Thursdays meet ing to give the members some high lights on the Fairbanks show.

He also pointed out that expenditure to help the economic security of large groups of citizens in every part of the coun- try who, for many reasons, defin- itely require some form of Govern ment assistance" which is a major effort of the Administration, cannot be reduced greatly without bring ing hardship to many.
 After setting aside the fixed and necessary expenditures the reduc- tions had to be made from items planned as capital improvements such as new highways, new river and harbor projects, new flood con- trol, new public buildings, new re- clamat ton projects, and other new public works" So the Bureau of the Budget used the axe with vim on all items set up that could not be classed as necessary and the chips flew while proposed expenditures were pared down to be in accord with the program of the President The reductions total $656,078,174.
 Delegates Good Work
 That Delegate Dimond has done his work we'll in establishing the necessity of full appropriations for the Alaska items, first, in aiding de- partment officials in planning and developing the original estimates, later, in proving the necessary value of the estimates to officials of the Bureau of the Budget, and finally, in supporting them at the White House, is evidenced by the fact that in the face of widespread reductions generally, the Alaska items in the Budget have not only held their own but actually exceed the total amount of the estimates in the l933 Budget by S1,011,214.

By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate Dim0nd

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. g. | Especial Correspondence)- long anticipated release of the Budget of the United States Government on January provided the first detailed 1 informa tion of certain reliability as to the estimated financial program of the Government for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1938-the 1889 fiscal year.
 All who were interested. and who today is not interested in Govern ment expenditures, knew that the estimated expenditures for the 1859 fiscal year would be reduced in the general department appropria ations as passed upon by the Bureau of the Budget For the purpose of the Federal Budget is to keep the expenses even with the estimated receipts just as surely as an indi- vidual household budget is to keep the expenditures within the limits of the family income, and as the revenues of the Government had lessened during the past several months the proposed expenditures would have to be decreased in com parable ratio.
 Original Estimates
 The original estimates that had been set up by every department and agency head to represent what they considered the minimum of funds required with which to carry out the functions delegated to them by law were pared down to match as nearly as practicable the estimated Federal income.
 Analysis of the Budget as pre- scented to Congress by the Presi- dent shows that not all classes of expenditures included therein were reduced alike, for, as stated by the President in his Budget message, certain items are obligatory such as interest on the public debt, mili- tary and naval pensions, contribu-

Whut It Meuns-
 Our Bigger Nauy'
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-All this talk of the United States building "a navy second to none boils down to this: Uncle Sam's getting into the naval armament race five years behind the leaders.
 In naval building, the United States has been marking time since l the Washington Naval Treaty was signed in 1921.
 That treaty halted the maddest building race the world had seen until then, and established the ra- tio among the three leading naval powers at 5-5-3. It means Great Britain and the United States each could maintain Is battleShips to Ja- pans g, and the rest of their fleets in like proportion.
 The British and Japanese were happy to .sign on the dotted line back in 1921, because the race was getting tough, and Uncle Sam was about to go away out in front with Ithe mightiest fleet ever known.
  What It Cost Your Uncle They were glad, indeed, to scrap hundreds of millions of dollars worth of blueprints-mere navles on paper-and in turn persuade Un- cle Sam to scrap seven battleships actually under construction, plus plans for three more.
 The 1921 treaty was renewed in 1930 continuing the old ratio for six years. And why not? T e world was fairly peaceful place to live in about that time.
 But by 1886, things had changed good deal. Hell had popped in Ethiopia, was even then popping in Spain, and was about to pop in China.
 Japan decided she could not risk signing any more treaties, and mo- tified the world she would be through with agreements on Jan- uary 1, 1897. Exactly a year ago therefore, the race was on in ear nest all over again.
 There had been plenty of indica- tions that the Japanese would be unwilling to sign up again long be- fore she announced her decision IT. fact, both the Japanese and British had been building up to the limits allowed by the treaties of 1921 and 1930. Uncle Sam, thanks to his geographical isolation, was slow to take alarm. He failed to build even all the treaty allowed him to have
