Powerful Fleet Seen
In f76-MiIIion Boost
Voted by Senate Group
BY The Associated Press

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee has voted So, ,462, 600 900 in
new money for the Navy in the year
starting July /. Senator SaltonstalI,
Republican, of Massachusetts, said 1t
will give the. Nation "a powerful.
we'll balanced 'fighting fieet' OF some
$50 craft.
The sum approved late yesterday
is SITE, SOC. 900 more than the House
voted. But Senator SaltonstalI,
chairman of a subcommittee which
considered the funds, said $161 600, :
600 in old unused appropriations for
other purposes were Cancelled. Thus,
ne. said, the net increase in usable
funds is only SIS, 500, 600.
With the $3, ,462, 900 900 grant,
which must still receive Senate ap-
|proval, the committee served notice
that it expects the Navy to keep a
tight watch on expenditures-both
of new funds and those carried over
from previous years.
"The committee expects that the
Navy will administer its pro-
grams SO that the expenditures in
fiscal 1948 will not exceed $4,105,-
600 ,0O0," the committees report said.
Senator Saltonstall told reporters
that the committees action permits
operation of the same number of
ships requested by President Tru-
man in his budget recommendations
Also, he said, it substantially fulflls
Mr.. Truman's requests for men and
planes.
The President had asked $685.
900, 900. The House had approved
only $3,285 SOC 900.
The Senate committees bill, Sem
ator Saltonstall explained, would
give the Navy strength of 1896 900
enlisted men and $4,000 officers; an
active fleet of 293 combat ships,
and 5,793 aircraft not counting re-
serve training planes.
This is 10000 more men and 1000
more officers, "a more combat ships
and 252 more aircraft than allowed
by the House bill.
The Senate bill would permit oper-
alton of II large carriers, 8 small
carriers, 4 battleships, 10 heavy
cruisers, 20 light cruisers, 1876 de-
stroyers, "a destroyer escorts and rs
submarines.
In addition, 1t would keep in serv-
ice 149 ampnibious craft, IS mine
vessels. 81 patrol vessels, 275 auxil-
iary vessels and "a floating dry
docks.
The Presidents budget called for
an average employment of 371 300
civilians in the Navy Department
next year. Many of these are en-
ployed in Navy yards and other
shore establishments. The House
action would have cut the total to
343, ,304. The Senate committee voted
funds for 5,167 above the House
figure.

1000 Ship Workers
Quit Jobs; 10000 10
Walk Out Thursday
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, June 24.-Approxi-
mately 1000 members of the indus
trial union of Marine and Ship
building Workers, CIO, left their
jobs att he Federal Shipbuilding &
Drydock Co., Kearny, N. j., today
union official said. The official
also said that 1000 Bethlehem ship
yard workers will not report fol-
work in four East Coast ports
Thursday morning.
Charles Leone, regional director
for the union, said the walkout was
result of the refusal of the COM
panies to make any offer to the
union in negotiations for new con-
tracts.
The union seeks pay increase
of Is cents an hour and six paid
holidays.
Dismissals Blamed.
The K e a r n y walkout was
prompted. Mr.. Leone said, by "the
firing yesterday of 500 without con-
forming to tn eseniority clause"
The Bethlehem employees will
not report for work Thursday
morning, Mr.. Leone said, because
of the expiration of contracts.
Affected by the walkout, he said,
would be three yards in Baltimore,
four in the port of New York area,
one in East Boston, Mass, and one
in Quincy, Mass.
In addressing a mass meeting of
union members yesterday, John
Green, president of the union, de-
clared that "the legality of the
Taft Hartley bill must be tested
and If we mumst be the first to test
it, let us do it"
BALTIMORE, June "a (P.-Mem-
bers of the Industrial Union of Ma
rine and Shipbuilding Workers of
America left their jobs at four ship
yards at noon today to attend a

tract negotiations and strike plans.
BY leaving their jobs to attend
the mass meeting, the workers
halted work at Bethlehem Sparrows
Point shipyard, Bethlehem Key
Highway yards, Bethlehem's Pa

they will be out after Congressional
supporters of the Taft-Hartley Act.
Jacob Potofsky, successor to the
late Sidney Hillman as head of the
CIO Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, said in New York that the CIO
Political Action Committee will lex
tend its activities into every ward
and precinct" to defeat Representa-
tives and Senators who voted for
the bill.
Mr.. Green expressed the belief
that the law will prove such q
boomerang that its sponsors and
supporters will be voted out of Of
flee by the American people next
year"
Mr.. Green began a campaign for
its prompt repeal. He said the act
will force widespread warfare" and
endanger the national economy. He
added Congress made a tragic mis-
take and the consequences may be
heavy and costly in terms of re-
duced production"
Labor will never become recon-
ciled to this law" he declared.
Court Fight Assured.
There was some speculation that
Mr.. Lewis might choose to fight the
statute in order to be the first big
unionist to tear into it.
But regardless of what Mr.. Lewis
does, there are plenty of indications
that the measure is in for early
scrutiny by the courts.
John Green, president of the CIO-
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers,
told New York mass meeting his
union might lead off. Its contracts
expire at 1901 am. tomorrow in
some of the biggest shipyards in the
East.
Robert H. Keyes. president of the
Foreman's Association of America,
independently served notice his
group will attack the acts constitu-
tionality.
Presumably he would center his
assault on the provisions excluding
supervisory workers from protec-
tions accorded production workers
unions in bargaining with their
employers. After a 12-year fight to
get the same bargaining rights as
rank and file plant workers under
the Wagner Act, the Foreman's
Association won Supreme Court
verdict this spring in case involv-
ing the Packard Motor Co.

serve one year In prison. The Court

The new appointee lives at 5811
Seventh street NV He is married
and the father of an 18-year-old
daughter jeanne. Recently he
adopted an 8-year-old boy from a
Catholic home. ...
Although Commissioner Young
announced that the appointment
followed careful consideration Of the
records OF the candidates, his choice
of Inspector Barrett had been con-
sidered a foregone conclusion since
February when rumors of Maj.
Callahan's planned retirement swept
the department.
1t was an open secret that the
detective was Mr.. Young's personal
choice.
Mr.. Young is said to regard In
spector Barrett as a real cop" who
will be on the job "a hours day.
The detective is a nephew of the
late Supt. of Police Edward J. Kelly,
also a favorite of Commissioner
Young during his handling of the
Police Department.
Joined Force in 1925.
The new police chief was appoint
ed to the force as a sixth precinct
patrolman July /, 1925.
He was made a precinct detective
at No. in July, 1928. On December
/, 1880, he was promoted to detective
sergeant after several commenda-
tions for his work on murder cases
In July, 1886, he received an award
for the arrest of mail robbers at
Union Station.
In September, 1943, the inspector
was sworn in to his present post
and became the youngest man in the
history of the department to head
the Detective Bureau
He was brought into the job in q
reorganization of the bureau by then
Supt. Kelly.
Made Captain in 1916.
At that time he held the rank OF
acting inspector with q permanent
grade of lieutenant. In October
1916, however, he was quietly pro-
noted to permanent captain by ex-
ecutive order of President Truman
bypaSsing the regular civil service
examinations for the post.
During his leadership the De-
tective Bureau has been welded into
a working, efficient organiza-
ton, which has, during the past
year, brought about rapid solutions
of several of the city's key murder
cases.

life of the 42-year-old former public
enemy Friday night as he sat read
ing a newspaper in the fashionable
home of Mrs. Virginia Hill, Alabama

So tightly were the underworld
curtains drawn about the mystery
that Ernest Roll, chief deputy dis
trict attorney, told newsmen:
"It's going to be hard job to
get to the bottom Of this thing.
There might have been hundred
different people who wanted Siegel

Greek Trade Official
Says Food Packages
Contain No Staples
; By ths Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, june 24.--James A.
Booras, president Of the American
Greek Chamber Of Commerce, says
he believes the food parcels coming
to this country from ill-fed Greece
are merely sent as expressions of
gratitude to Americans who have
sent clothing and food to Greek
citizens. He said they contain no
staples.
Mr.. Booras said he doubted that
more than so or 60 OF the estimated
10000 parcels shipped from Greece
contained meat, and these contained
token gifts" of Greek sausage. In
general, the packages contain mon
essential dainties" such, as nuts,
candy and olive oil, he said.
Harry NJ. burning. collector of
customs here, yesterday notified
steamship and aviation lines that
after July there would be strict
enforcement Of the ban on shipment
of meat from countries In which
hoof and mouth disease exists,
including Greece.
John Kalergis, Greek consul gen.
eral, conferred yesterday with Mr..
Burning, and later said that he
believed, like Mr., Booras, that most
of the packages contained only
sweetmeats.
Many people in Greece" Mr.. Ka-
lergis said, have been led to send
packages to relatives here to thank
them for gifts of money and cloth
ing, and the people here have been
overcharged by organizations con-
Quoting the shipments, who are
probably making money on them"
Mr.. Booras, who is agent for the
Greek Railway Express, one of five
agencies forwarding the packages,
said however that shipments are
at a cost of about 50 each,
which does mot even cover the
costs involved in handling them
The sender pays for delivery only
