MARINE CORPS ‘ELIMINATION' IS LABELEDJALSE ‘Essential Arm of Service’ Not to Be Disbanded, Says Navy Man. WASHINGTON, June 26.—Those colorful sea-soldiers with the natty white caps and white duck trousers, the United States marines, neither are going to be disbanded nor obliterated, Ernest Lee Jahnske, assistant secretary of the navy, asserted today. “There is nothing to the rumors that the corps is to be wiped out, or that it is to be absorbed by the army and its identity lost,’’ said Jahncke today. “In the first place, the navy does not want such a thing to happen. In the second place, I am satisfied the administration is against it. In the third place, the history, traditions and spirit of the corps are invaluable assets of the nation and the people would not stand for any such action. It has never even been contemplated.” According to the assistant secretary, the long accepted ratio of navy strength to that of the marines, is five to one. The navy has undergone a readjustment in enlisted strength which has reduced its personnel from about 85,000 to 80,000. “The marines still have between 17,000 and 18,000 officers and men,” said Jahncke, “and are therefore faced with the necessity of eventual readjustment to about 16,000, which will preserve the customary ratio As an alert, mobile force, it is an essential arm of the service, ready for quick duty wherever the navy operates and no one would think of disbanding it or merging it with the army.”

MAYBE ‘UGLYUS’ GIVES YOU THAT TIREDJEELING Architectural Beauty Is on the Upgrade, Asserts Visiting Expert. That frazzled feeling you are complaining about today isn't caused by the heat—maybe. That grouch you are nursing really isn’t a hang-over from that party last night—maybe. Then, what is wrong with you? We’ll just let the doctor prescribe : “Well, sir,” diagnosed the learned doctor, “you’re very likely a victim of that dreaded disease, uglyitis. Don’t you know what uglyitis is? Let us explain: Architectural Monstrosity “Perhaps on your street, there is a home that gives you a pain every time you pass it, because it seems to you an architectural monstrosity. It’s ugly. “Possibly some business building near where you work isn’t just the type that is patterhed after the lines of the old Greeks and Romans. You hadn’t realized it, but it makes you sick. It’s ugly. “In other words, ugly buildings are a menace to health. An ugly building really hurts those who look at it. There ought to be a law against it.” So concludes the doctor. Here for Convention And the “doctor" is Dr. Charles Butler, New York City, who is attending a convention of architects of the middle west, in session here. He is chairman of the committee of

education of the American Institute of Architects. “Hope of a more beautiful America lies largely in education,” said Dr. Butler.„ “Art study is gaining in the high schools of the country. College faculties are being stirred to greater recognition of the arts as the result of nation-wide lectures, sponsored by the institute. Plans are being made to extend the lectures to schools in every state. “The modem spirit is penetrating architecture. We feel a very deep sympathy for the call of this spirit. “The students in our architectural schools are even asking why they should be forced to study the classical orders, when the supply of unused columns presents one of our most serious problems of overproduction. “But when we see good work that is modern in spirit and still shows well balanced study of composition, proportion and detail, we can not but feel that architecture may be modem and yet thoroughly, sane.” Community Fund Cut SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 26.—A reduction of $33,500 in the 1931 budgets of fourteen co-operative welfare agencies of the city was effected at a meeting of the Community Chest committee. The reduction was made necessary by the shortage in the chest fund this year.

REASSESSMENT WINS FAVOR OF 3 COUNCILMEN McCloskey’s Second Effort Draws Approval of County Chiefs, Second effort of John C. McCloskey, Center township assessor, to obtain funds for reassessing the township’s real estate drew approval of three county councilmen today and prospects for a special councU meeting to consider an appropriation. Frank Fishback, council president, announced a request for a special meeting would be made. Two other councilmen, Walter Boetcher and Sam Pfendler, who attended a meeting in McCloskey’s office this morning, stated they favored appropriation of SIO,OOO to hire sixteen extra clerks to conduct the re-assessment. The council flatly refused McCloskeYs request for the amount at its last meeting in May. McCloskey declares he has found that values of many pieces of real

estate have been changed on the assessors’ books, lowering the values. By law, 1932 is the general appraisement year for Center real estate, but McCloskey declares that the task “can not be done right in the period of sixty days allotted by statute for the appraisement.” “A reassessment will put thousands of dollars, not now being taxed, upon the assessor's books," McCloskey stated. In 1930 the assessor's office put $1,700,230 of previously omitted automobiles on the books after an investigation that cost only $3,480, McCloskey reported. This brought the county $47,266.39 in extra taxes this year.
