LEADING CUBS RETURN HOME Chicago, April in (UP) By 'he dint at tight defensive play and sterling pitching the Chicago Cubs returned home today leading the National league race after a II game road trip. The Cubs, idle today, will open a 12-ganu home stand tomorrow when they play their first game at Wrigley field against the rejuvenated Reds. Six games don't make a season fail the Cubs hive demonstrated that if a strong defense and firstclass pitching is go’ng to cut any iee in the National league race they are going to make a strong bid for the pennant. Wi'h teatns like the Cardinals and Giants, admittedly carrying more offensive strength than the Cubs, floundering in seventh and eighth pkices, the Cubs are gathering momentum for a spring drive whic h may make them hard to catch in the summer. Although Manager Rogers Hornsby hasn't yet selected his strongest cut field .combination and shortstop Woody English is laid up with a fractured finger, the Cubs have played the finest defensive baseball in either major league thus far. The Cubs didn't make an error in their first four games, and only two miscues have been charged against them in six games. Bill Jurges. subbing for English, hurried a throw in the fifth game hi trying for a double play and it went wild. Billy Herman, rookie second baseman. blundered in attempting a double play in yesterday's game.

APPROPRIATION FOR NAVY CUT — (CONTINUED FROV PAGE OXF maintenance of fleet operations at j the status recommended )w naval ■ officials, the committee revealed, the testimony of Admiral Pratt at ■ I secret hearings. ''Vader the stress of existing conditions.” Pratt said, 'we have cut our operating forces to the danger tone. Wo cannot go any further without jeopardizing our national security. International 1 conditions are such- today as to * render it unwise, in my opinion, to make any further cuts in the operating forces of the navy.” i Pratt said that in view of pres--1 ent conditions a "modified” rotating plan was being put into effect ■ by the navy, whereby a number of | ' ships will lie alternated in full ' commission, thus effecting some savins. Although adopting the operating plan recommended by the navy department, the house committee applied the pruning knife in other directions. No appropriations was provided I for maintenance of the dirigible ] Los Angeles. The committee recommended that the airship be i decommissioned. The bill authorizes President i Hoover to dispose of non-essential ' navy yards and naval shore staj tions. This would put into effect recommendations both of the chief ■ executive and of the house economy committee. Ultimate savings under this provision are estimated at $2,500,000. Fund for the naval reserve are also severely curtailed. A total of $3,071,499 is carried for this i ' purpose. $1,549,336 below current ; appropriations. Savings of $5,756,295 were pro- ; posed in the naval air service, $1,271,295 more than budget recom-i mendations. Purchases of planes and equipment during the fiscal year 1933 would be limited to $5.000.000. as contrasted with $7,200,000 spent in 1932. The marine corps expenditures are cut $3,468,459. contemplating a reduction of slightly more than 2,000 men in personnel.

BANKFAILURES SHOWDECLINE Survey Shows Financial Condition In Indiana Is Much Improved Indi.inapolls. April 19. (U.R) Bank failures in Indiana during February and March were far under [the number for the corresponding periods of 19*1 and 1930, the IndiLinn Business Review saiil today The Review, published by the Iniliana University Bureau of Ibis■lness Research, reported that "the financial situation In Indiana has 1 improved, but changes in trade and iindustrial volumes during the p.ist two months were not of sufficient impeirtanee to affect the situation ' when allowances were made for I normal seasonal fluctations." Steel mills of the Calumet dis . I tric€ operated at 23 per cent captciiy. and ingot production declinedj to 20 per cent capacity, the Review read. Marcia coal production was above norma) as miners anticipat | cd the strike which began April 1., Stone shipments from the Bloom- 1 ington-Bedford district made more ] ihsn the normal seasonal gain to | Ji point 30.9 per cent under normal. Passenger auto production was lower than at uny other time since 1921. Department stores reported less than the usual seasonal activity. Buying was retarded by unseason-: aide weather. "Three hundred and 10 represent lutive Indiana firms reported total iemployment 1.7 per cent under a month ago and 14 per cent under
