Comiskey Heirs Ask Court
To Permit White Sox Sale

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-The First
National Bank of Chicago, executor
of the estate of the late j. Louis
Comiskey, filed a petition in Probate
Court today seeking permission to
sell the Chicago White Sox baseball
club.
Mr.. Comiskey, who died July 18,
1899, named the bank as trustee of
. his estate, which was left in trust
for Mrs. Comiskey and their three
children.
The petition, filed before Judge
John F. O'Connell, said sale of the
club would be in the best interests
of the estate. The request was based
on the belief that the business is
hazardous, the income therefore
uncertain and its stock is unsuitable
as a trust investment
The court was asked to order that
the stock be sold in one block. OF
the $500 shares, the estate owns
all but so. which are held by Vice
President Harry Grabiner.
Judge OConnell set February %
for hearing.

500-ki||ion Cut
In Fleet Plans
Would Eliminate
81 New Destroyers
In Expansion Program
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee today pro-
posed $500 900 900 cut in the pend
; ing $l,300,0OO.00O fleet expansion
program by eliminating "a pro-
3ected new destroyers.
At the opening of todays ses-
sion Representative Vinson an
nounced he would ask the committee
to approve a reduction in the total
tonnage of the proposed expansion
from 100000 tons to $4,000 tons.
He said the bill as thus revised
still would authorize three addi-
tional aircraft carriers of approxi-
mately $4,000 tons each, an unspeci-
fled number of cruisers and "a sub
marines
Specific Number up to Navy.
Mr.. Vinson made it plain that the
specific number of ships to be built
would be left to the Navy's discre-
ton within the tonnage authorized.
In that connection. he said it would
be possible to build four cruisers of
27,500 tons each-as compared with
the present limit of 10000 tons.
Larger cruisers have been advo-
Gated because of Germany's pocket
battleships"
In response to furry of ques-
tionS from other committee men,
bers, Mr.. Vinson said he proposed
tho ,~o1f1nfinv, tho
"common-sense approach" because
1t would permit all the naval build
ing that could be efficiently handled.
Its cornfield lawyer sense he
added. THE Navy thinks the full
program should be authorized at
this time, but in view of the fact
that Congress is in session every
year think it is not wise to pile up
too much construction ahead of the
time in which it can actually be
carried out"
Not Meant as Navy Cut.
Representative Mas of Minne-
sofa, senior Republican member
asserted that, while he concurred
with Mr.. Wilson's proposal, he want
ed it understood the reduction was
"in no wise cutting down the Navy"
IF conditions are the same next
year" he added. I'VE will Just 60
ahead with the balance of the, pro-
gram"
Mr.. Vinson nodded agreement
and explained that elimination of
destroyers from the pending bill
would not hamper the Nays pro-
gram because it now has authority
to build SO destroyers as replace
ments. He said these could be
turned out at about the rate of II
q year for the next three years.
Representative Drewry, Democrat,
. of Virginia asked Mr.. Vinson whether
the reduction had been proposed
because of a belief that Congress
would not pass the larger program.
II don't know what Congress will
do." Mr.. Vinson responded, but this
is all the Navy can build at this
time"
