Vinson Cuts Navy
Building Budget
By500 Millions

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. CUP)-
Chairman Carl Vinson of the house
naval affairs committee today cut
his proposed $1,300,OO0,OOO naval
construction authorization bill to
$500 100000
Vinson advised his committee
that he had sharply modified his
measure which originally was de-
signed to authorize a 25 per cent
increase in the tonnage of the u. S.
navy.
He said that he had eliminated
from the proposal some $500. 900 900
in authorizations for construction
of "a destroyers.
In revised form the VinSon bill
would authorize total of Al COM
batant ships, instead of the II
originally contemplated.
Rep. Melvin j. Mas, r., Mimi.
ranking Republican member of the
committee, announced that he con-
Cured with Vinson in the revision.
The original program was criticized
vigorously by Chairman David I.
Walsh of the senate naval affairs
committee. Walsh demanded that
the navy utilize it's existing author
izations, estimated at $l,0O0,O 900, 900
before seeking new authorization.
Vinson said that the revised bill
would provide for $4,000 tons OF
construction instead of 100000 tons.
This change is with the under
standing" Mas observed, that
we are not in any way restricting
the navy's program. We are simply
authorizing all they can build in
the next three years. Next year,
if conditions are the same, we'll
go right ahead with the rest OF
the bill"

BY FRANK YOUNG


NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (UP)-Dr.
Emo Laszlo, Budapest beauty spec
ialist, introduced a secret reducing
formula today which, he said, per-
mitS a person to eat bread, potat-
oeS and chocolate regularly yet
lose four pounds a day.
The handsome grey-haired cos
metologist spoke guardedly about
his formula at a reception at his
Fifth Avenue beauty saloon which
was attended by Archduke and
Archduchess Franz Joseph of Haps-
burg, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Conan
Doyle, Princess Kapurthala and
other notables.
Exactly what his method involves,
beyond a harmless formula, long
used in Europe" Laszlo refused to
say but the treatment requires five
meals a day with no food barred.
He said that "the medieval pains

Crank diets and drastic food
fads are laughed at in Europe, Las
zlo said, although slenderness is as
eagerly sought there as in Holly
wood or in New York.
Hollywood started many of the
most crackpot diets" he said. But
the stars were quick to learn that
the eye is the mirror of the stom-

Navy Will Cruise
TO Caribbean on
Training Jaunt

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. UP)-
Secretary of Navy Charles Edison
announced today that % warships
of the. Atlantic squadron will sail
shortly from Guantanamo, Cuba,
for a training cruise in the West
Indies and southern Caribbean
areas. -
Navy officials refused to discuss
details of the projected cruise, what
ships would be involved, or the
itinerary other than to say that the
ships would pass through the Lee
ward and Windward islands of the
West Indian group
Informed quarters, however, be-
lieved the cruise is connected with
scheduled landing and other eXer-
cises in the Caribbean area. About
1000 Marines of the first brigade
of the fleet Marine force, under
command of Brig. Gen. Holland M.
Smith, sailed from Norfolk, Va, last
week for the exercises, which may
last two months. They are sched-
uled to be joined soon by marine
air forces.
Sending of the warships will take
almost one half of the Atlantic
squadron into the Caribbean, a cru
cial area in the present national
defense set-up. The squadron, whose
major base is Norfolk, consists of
four battleships, including the de-
militarized U. S. S. wyoming, five
cruisers and 38 destroyers.
1t was believed that the Marine
landing exercises will be carried
out in an area near Culebra Island,
scene of maneuvers last year by
the U. S. fleet under the eyes of
President Roosevelt.

she wanted to see what would hap
pen next.
So, apparently, did practically
everybody else in the city. A great
many people telephoned in. Com
mitteeS from five different chart
ties called on Mr.. Mortified asking
that some of the proceeds from the
play be diverted to their organiZa-
tons. He referred them all TO Bill
Bailey. More than 100 applications
for tickets to the play came to The
Oaks in the mail, and poor Ora
ham, The butler, was so busy with
telephone calls about tickets, and
about details of the play in gen.
eral, that he hired an assistant to
| help him.
Bill and Gayle learned of these
things promptly, but they were
more and more busy with rehears-
ais again, with costuming, lighting
of the outdoor stages, makeup,
acoustics, all the problems that as
sail directors and managers of any
play plus the additional ones that
nag at amateurs.
Cholly Farrington's gossipy col
umn in the ChroniclePost came
out with a Heterogeneous para
graph or two concerning the &C
tivity st The Oaks.
Draw up a rocker, my dears,"
he chatted. Have you heard?
About the Mortified Oaks? ?" The
maid to measure, it seems, was
duly measured, and so was the pub
lie taste. Whereupon, The Wit to
Woo is being concocted at the
same stand.
IF this were anything but pure
charity, or if Mr.. M. were anything
but pure generosity, this might all
be open to suspicion. Not so,
though. It's little early to reveal
the insidest information-but your
humble correspondent humbly sub
mits that there are still seven
beautiful girls headquartcrinS in
the big house on Montrosc, not to
mention a young dramatic genius
and a millionaire grandson. Any
thing can happen there. Very prob
ably it will. Stand by for further
instructions"
Meanwhile, too, some "outside'
young people had begun to drop in
at The Oaks. The first party given
in Jeremy's honor had been largely
framed up for him by the other
youths there who invited their
friends. But Jeremy had CHANGED
to meet a few of the guests later
in a roadhouse. And Gayle had
tactfully called few of the others
on the telephone for him.
On a Friday afternoon after the
rehearsals were started, and after
the papers had informed the world
about the new play, a carload OF
young people rolled up the long
drive to The Oaks. A detached OBJ
server might have said that II
came up difTidently, almost Warlly;
plainly the driver wasn't too sure
of himself. The Oaks was truly an
awesome estate.
No one was in sight when the
youths stopped near the front
porch. Presently the car gave a
tentative honk.
Graham, punctilious butler, saw
them from within. 1T appears,
