STIMSON BACKS SEA PACT IN BITTER SENATE HEARING

SECRETARY IS IRRITATED BY STERN DRILLING New Battleship ‘Not Paper Navy, but Real Trading Point,’ Chief Avers. GIVEN ‘BALANCED’ FLEET Billion-Collar Expenditure Contemplated, Adams Tells Legislators. WASHINGTON, May 14—The London naval treaty was defended today in a double-barreied hearing before two senate committees, by two cabinet members, Secretary cf State Stimson and Secretary of Navy Adams, and by Admiral WiN -liam V. Pratt, commander-in-chief v hf the United States fleet. All were participants in the London negotiations. - Adams, appearing before the naval affairs committee, which opened hearings today, said the London program contemplates expenditure cl a billion dollars by the United ' States on its navy by 1936. Chairman Hale of the committee explained that the billion dollars would not all go for new construction but for replacement. Mud Be Explained ; Hale opened his hearings by declaring the treaty constitutes certain radical changes in American nava! policy, and that these must be explained fully. He said there is a possibility certain reservations will be needed to clarify the treaty. Pratt, first naval officer to testify. said the treaty was satisfactory -from the viewpoint of combat strength, and indorsed the division into s' x and eight-inch gun cruisers which some naval officers have criticised. - Stimson. appearing for the third day before foreign relations committee. revealed that the American -delegation had suggested successfully building of anew 36,000-ton •battleship, at the London conference as a “trading” point. He was subjected to a severe grilling by Senator Johnson ‘Repeal ) who insisted that the treaty gave'the United States only paper 'parity. Stimson visibly was irritated by Johnson's persistence, ano asserted the California senator was mistaken. Proposed Both Methods “It was a trading' point,” Stimson aid. , • There were two ways to make tne United States fleet equal to the British,” Stimson said. “One way was to modernize and the other was "to build anew battleship. We pro--poSed both methods and as a result we got what we wanted. Stimson explained he felt “we Iwcre drafting a treaty which for the first time in our history gave us a balanced navy. • 1 “Previously our navy had grown haphazardly. At times our navy was disproportionately developed. We found our fleet unbalanced with re- ‘ gards to cruisers. It was our purpose to produce a balanced navy. So far as I was concerned I was not discussing a paper navy." DIVORCE GRANTED IN SENSATIONAL HEARING Wealthy Anderson Man Cos in Musician’s Suit. Fu Time . Special ANDERSON. Ind..

Navy Air Ace Perfects New Safe Flying Stunt BY ERNIE PYLE I'nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. May 14.—Just a day before he ends thirteen years of flying service with the navy, Lieutenant Alford J. Williams j has worked out and executed the very last maneuver he can think of to do with an airplane. Williams' resignation takes effect Thursday. ___ The maneuver is an inverted “falling leaf." It is spectacular and difficult. Its value comes under the heading of safety. It is a study in the science of overcom.l . ing dangers into which a flier is thrown in Williams is the world's greatest authority dg on the science of inverted flight. This new maneuver is another step to-' bMEa. ~**r ward the goal of complete safety in flying. \ sag It has little or no military value. It is Wilhams' farewell to the navy. rTTrIMt In this maneuver the P lane is placed IjsSuAW xi on its back. Then it is swung back and '' ■ forth sideways, just like a pendulum, as the i' plane descends. At the top of each swing t ,i.lj iiiiMe—J the plane is ready to go into the deadly inWilliams verted spin. It is checked just before it stalls, and is started on the reverse swing. As in all his other startling maneuvers, Williams worked this one out at home with models before he tried it in the air. It took considerable practice before he could do it smoothly. He did it. he says, because he feels that until a pilot has conquered every position into which his plane can be thrown, he has not completely mastered flying.

_ THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES'

SCOn M'BRIDE RETREATS GN BREW OPINION Denies Anti-Sa'ocn League Has Changed Views on Legality. PII I inter! Pr * WASHINGTON. May 14. F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, had not read all of the recent speech of Representative Fort <Rep„ N. J.) when he indorsed it Tuesday before the senate lobby committee, the dry leader told the United Press today, denying the league had changed its attitude toward home brew and wines. Mcßride said he did not know the speech contained the following phrase when he indorsed it: “To those who want beer and light wines, I suggest that they forego the wish to buy and be content with what they make.” Still Considered Illegal The league still considers manufacture of home brew and wines illegal and undesirable. Mcßride declared, terming other interpretations of his remarks erroneous. Testifying before the lobby commitee Tuesday, Mcßride indorsed the prohibition speech made in the house several months ago by Representative Fort, close friend of President Hoover. Fort said “the use of home-made nonintoxicating light wines and ciders is not prohibited” by the Volstead act. The Anti-Saloon League head reiterated his indorsement of that statement today, but insisted the league did not advocate home brew. “Never Said Brew Legal ’ “Fort didn’t say he was for brew and neither did I,” Mcßride said. “I never said, and the record of the hearing shows I did not say, that home brew is legal. I don't think it is.” Mcßride asserted that although Fort said in his speech that the making of nonintoxicating cider and fruit juices for use in the home was legal, the New Jersey representative specifically said it was “another question” whether this language would cover home brew. Mcßride then took exception to the statement in Fort’s speech about “being content with what they make,” saying he did not know th*.t phrase was in the speech at the time he indorsed it.
