added:
He might just as well have said,

THE truth is that the dominant
elements in the Republican party

today. There is no reason to believe
they will change after November S.

Destroyers
Continued From First Page.)

destroyers saw service in European
waters during the last war, it was
said. Most of them were commits
stoned after the armistice.
1t also was indicated in naval
circles that the policy of maintain
ing the fleet in the Pacific would
not be changed. Recent reports
from Hawaii, where the fleet is
based, indicated that various units
had been dispatched to the Atlantic
Coast for permanent station. These,
informed sources said. are being re-
placed by ships now in the At
lantic.
Most of the recalled ships are
cruisers. Three have been mentioned
by name. The Louisville was re.
ported already on this side of the
Panama Canal and the Northamp-
ton and the Portland of the scouting
fleet are believed ready to sail.
One Third Always in Transit.
Under repair and shore leave
schedule, one-third of the fleet at
Hawaii will be sent to the Pacific
Coast at one time. This schedule, in
effect, will keep a constant stream
of naval vessels flowing between
the island and the coast.
The checkup of the feet is ex-
pected to be completed by the first
of the year. At that time the full
fleet again will be assembled at
Hawaii for further "maneuvers" I'M
til new orders are issued. Each of
the three groups is expected to be
away from Hawaii about a month,
it was said.
