Public Hearings Set
|By House Naval Group
|0n 2-BiIIion Fund Cut.

Public hearings on the Budget
Bureaus reported cut OF ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 from
the appropriation asked by the
Navy for 1947 will be held by the
House Naval Affairs Committee,
Chairman Vinson said today.
This unusual procedure was
planned after it was reported or
Capitol Hill that the $4,224 ,000, ,OO(
budget sent to Congress by President
Truman had been reduced to that
figure by the Budget Bureau from
$500, ,000, 900 described By Navy
Department as necesse the
public defense.
A House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee is holding executive hearings
on the Navy appropriation bill and
has given no indication of how
closely it will follow the Budget Blu
reau's figures.
Bureaus Findings Not Binding.
Representative Sheppard, Demo
crat, Of California, chairman Of the
subcommittee, pointed out that it Is
not bound by anything the bureau
recommends, but he refused to make
any prediction. He added, however
that he had always been for "ar
adequate Navy"
It Is unusual for another commit
tee Of Congress to take up an ap-
preparation which the Appropria-
tions Committee is considering. In
this instance, members Of Congress
said. the Naval Affairs Committee
would not have jurisdiction over the
appropriation, though 1t could hold
hearings If it chose. Appropriations
Committee hearings always are held
behind closed doors.
Mr.. vinson, a strong Navy" lead
er. said he would ask Admiral Ches-
ter w. Nimitz. Chief Of Naval Opera
tions, to testify, perhaps Tuesday.
Calling the Budget Bureaus re-
duction arbitrary" the chairman
said his committee wanted to know
why this was done and would call
of1cials Of the bureau to explain.
Would Cut Fleet.
Members of the Naval Affairs
Committee said that If the Presi-
dents budget is followed the Nays
proposed postwar fleet Of 319 COM
bat ships will be reduced by at least
28 vessels. Sale or scrapping of 70
ships would be required, it was said
These sources also said the budget
requested of Congress would reduce
naval personnel from a planned
100000 after June 80, 1947, to 4s2, 900
and force reduction Of the Marine
Corps from 1000 to $4,000.
The reduced budget would require
cuts all along the line, in aircraft
and Navy installations ashore and
afloat.
If the Appropriations Committee
reports a greatly reduced budget, a
battle on the floor is certain.

Announcement of the latest cuts
underlines Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz's positive statement earlier

statement was in answer to recur-
rent rumors that the Navy planned
to halt demobilization.

will need % points. Beginning June

change include electricians mates

chief commissary stewards, ships
cooks, bakers, classification and
transportation specialists, yeomen
hospital corpsmen in physical and
occupational therapy, punch-card
accountants and storekeepers.
The scores for most male officers
will drop to "a on May Is, 80 on
June 2 and 80 on June is. On the
same dates. scores for male doctors
will be ~, 40 and 80; for naval
aviators above ensign's rank, q, 2C
and 20; for ensign aviators, 20, 2(
and 20; for female officers, includ.
ing nurses, "A. 23, and %.
ExceptlOnS Eliminated.
Exceptions" also have been elm.
mated among the enlisted WAVES
The enlisted women will be eligibl,
for discharge on May Is with /!
points, on June 2 with 10 points anc
on June Is with II points.
Meanwhile, Secretary of War Pat.
terson, IN broadcast, told troop.
overseas that barring some unfore.
seen emergency enlisted men with
two years service would continue tt
be released after June 80.
That means that a man who was
inducted IN August, 1914, and is still
IN the Army on June 80 will be re-
leased by August of this year." he
explained.
The Secretary explained current
release policies and other Army
problems through facilities Of the

termined that there is no necessity
for any change in our established
policy Of leaving the disposition of
civil collaborationists in the Phil
ippines to the civil authorities there.
"Our original policy was formu-
lated late in 1914 on the basis Of
strong recommendation by Gen,
Douglas Macarthur and was ini-
tiated by the joint chiefs of staff.
In support Of that policy, there
was formed in the Philippines last
year, a civil peoples court to try
collaborationist cases. The study
recently made by officials Of this
Government of the manner in which
the collaborationist cases have oeen
handled indicates an earnest and
well directed effort to dispose OF
these cases as speedily as possible.
Principle Accepted.
There are major obstacles such
as the unavailability of witnesses,
disruption OF communications and
lack Of funds for investigation.
transportation and clerical assist
ance which make it extremely Diff
cult for the peoples court to assure
speedy justice. Nevertheless, I have
every confidence in the determine
ton Of the Philippine people, who
have proved beyond all doubt their
devotion to democracy and the
United States. to punish those who
served the enemy against the in
terests Of the commonwealth and
Of the United States. The prin-
ciple is we'll established in the
Philippines that an act of disloyalty
to the united States was an act Of
disloyalty to the commonwealth and
to the Philippine people. The
Philippine courts have accepted this
principle.
1t Is noteworthy that we have not
been asked by any group in the
philippines to intervene in the trial
Of the collaborators. 1t is my
Judgment that any move to inter-
vene now would meet with in.
Simultaneous objection from even
our most loyal supporters in the
island. Such Intervention would
serve notice upon the Philippine
people, and upon the many millions
OF people everywhere who are
watching the Philippine expert
ment, that we do not consider the
Philippines capable Of bringing
these culprits to justice.
"The Philippines are scheduled
to become an independent republic
on July 4 Of this year. I am certain
that the Philippine people are fully
capable Of assuming all the duties
and obligations of self-government.
I believe that these heroic people,
out Of their own devotion to demo-
cratic ideals, will eliminate from
their national and political life all
those Of questionable allegiance to
those democratic principles.
In arriving at these conclusions,
I am assuring the Philippine people
that we have every confidence that
they are capable OF making their
own political decisions without tn
tervention or direction by the
United States"
