sional economy bloc, expressed
agreement today with President
Roosevelt's call for Federal savings,
and said it would be "a simple mat
ter" to trim between $500, 900, 900
and $400. 100000 from the record
$13,00O,000,000 appropriations voted
by the 1889 Congress.
The President, in a letter to de-
partmental heads yesterday, asked
for an immediate survey to effect
substantial savings both in cur
rent funds and requests for money
in the next fiscal year.
Senator Adams, who led several
fights to Whittle down spending pro-
posals in the last session, told re-
porters:
Only One Who Can Do 1t.
"All the Chief Executive has to
do is to say to this Secretary and
that Secretary-'although you have
so much appropriated, you can only
spend so much of it, and If you
spend more, I will get somebody else
to take your job
He is the one man who can do it.
We will never have any savings until
we have Chief Executive who is
Fundamentally for saving. Congress
is not saving institution"
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his letter to de-
partment heads, said numerous ad-
mlnlstrative Improvements and
economies can ''undoubtedly' be ef-
fected apart from the ultimate feed
OF further basic reorganization"
Repetition of Old Request.
The order was generally similar to
others sent out over the Presidents
signature In the past two years and
by the Budget Bureau without his
signature III previous years.
The President said savings in ad-
mlnlstratlve costs will be made dur
ing the present and succeeding years
through the Reorganization Act of
1889 "anl through improvement in
administrative procedures which will
be stimulated by the plans" under
that law.
When your estimates for the fis-
cal year l94l are presented on Sep
tember IS next" the letter said.
they will be accompanied by a
statement of anticipated savings
which you believe can be effected
during the current fiscal year, and
the methods through which such
savings are expected to be accom-
plished."

Charles B. MomSen, inventor of the '.Momsen Lung," also will be used.
 With this purifier, divers can stay below for an hour and half or two hours, whereas they formerly had to come up every hour.
 When work begins, divers will be lowered to the bottom in four min- utes. If pontoons are used, air hoses will be taken along. One man with hose will work on each side of the ship in the sliny mud into which it is gradually sinking. They will blast out tunnel underneath the ship through which a steel rod and a one-inch wire will be pushed like 8 needle and thread.
 A heavy chain will be attached to the wire and guided through the tunnel. Pontoons then will be filled with water and dropped from the Falcon. The chains will be attached to them. Water will be forced from the pontoons by compressed air and their buoyancy will raise the sub marine.
 AAVuN AVK OAVCE tO OOWe up
 It will take an hour for a diver to return to the surface, He must leave the high pressure / gradually and when he is up, must remain in a decompressed chamber and hour. At least four more hours must pass be- fore he dives again. Failure to ob- serve these rules means the ''bends" severe and dangerous pains caused by too sudden change in atmo- spheric pressure.
 Most of the divers here are tor pedo men or machinist's mates who got their early experience going down for anchors and other equip- ment dropped from ships near the training school in Newport, R. I.
 "It's hard life," Miller said, land there are plenty of complaints when the men are on shore. But here, we haven't been thinking of hardships. All we thought about was let me go down; maybe I can save life"

 It was Sibisky who sent up the word to the Falcon that the after section was flooded to the hatch and that no life could exist there.
 "He's the gamest of the whole crew. He'd go anywhere Miller said.
 "Of course there are always others ready to go, but I know the Con- manders respect his nerve and let him handle tough assignments"
 There are B divers on the job here and none of them had ever before attempted to work at such depth as the Squalus lay. They have newly invented kind of equipment and new plan of salvage which may be used here. It is to attach hose lines to the flooded part of the ship, expel the water by air pres sure and let the submarine come up of its own buoyancy.
 P0nto0ns May Be Used
 It is believed, however, that the old system of pontoons will have to be used again, to do the whole job or help with the raising after the blowing" out with air.
 There are 10 pontoons available here. There is also a battery of 1000 candle power lights which may be handled by one diver at the bottom and will throw an 18-foot beam of light at that depth. A special air purifier. designed by Commander

alliance and threatened to resign creating strong possibility of gen. eral foreign ministry Shakeup.
 3-Great Britain considered the possibility of resorting to economic reprisals against Japan or of estab- fishing a British French warship patrol of the China coast if it proves necessary to combat a virtual Japanese blockade which has re- suited in halting of British and French steamships by Tokyo's navy on charges that thye are carrying materials to the Chinese armies.
 fChinese reports circulated in Tientsin that Japanese intend to stir up disorders in the British con- cession as an excuse for occupying it as another step in their campaign to take over all foreign areas in China, including Annoy and Shang- hai.
 Campaign Threats
 All of those threats of trouble in the Far East appeared to be a CO., ordinated campaign linked to the European developments, including the efforts of the European total itarian states to offset the new se- curity front which is encircling them and the efforts of Japan to guard against any British hook up with Russia that would include the Orient. In effect, there was reason to believe that the Japanese were indirectly warning Britain that there was strong sentiment for Tokio to join the totalitarian military al- liance and that such action might be necessary if the European secur- ity front endangered Japan's posi- tion in the Far East.
 On the other hand, Britain has made every effort to assure Tokio that no such action is contemplated in order to encourage the Japanese naval leaders in their opposition to any commitments in European waters.
 Finland Starts Something
 Still another suddenly important European problem was emerging as a vital part of the general picture. Diplomatic sources in Paris reported that France and Britain were back ing Russia's refusal to agree to for tification of the Aland Islands, owned by Finland, at the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia and adjacent to the Gulf of Finland.
 Finland, backed by Sweden, has sought permission of, the league of nations to fortify the islands in or der better to preserve her own neu- trality in event of war. The islands were demilitarized by international agreement after the World War. Russia, however, objected and it became evident that the Soviets feared that, in event of war, Ger many would immediately seize the islands and use them to bottle up the entire Soviet naval forces in the Baltic. The islands would be vital to maintenance of Nazi communica- tionS with Sweden, which supplies Germany with iron, and would pro- vide an excellent aerial base to use against Russia. a, a&MlE
 Now, it appears, both Britain and France are supporting the Soviets position, which probably means that the islands will remain unfortified and that the security front will gain another point in strength.
