Alba said. The attitude that our neighbor. Japan, has taken in occupying Manchuria has convinced me that a grave danger might lurk from that source after the Philippines gain their independence from the United States. Alba stated that only through training and excellent, air corps among his countrymen and the building of a large air fleet, can the islands be protected. Fears Poison Gas “If our aggressive neighbors so desire, they could destroy Manila, our capital, and all our principal cities in a few hours with an aerial attack and exterminate our population like flies with poison gas," tne Filipino flier said.

Headed Teamsters He lives at 5102 Park avenue, and has been active in labor work for years. Since 1907 he has been international president of the teamsters' union.

Has Enough Lawyers “My father wanted me to follow his footsteps as a lawyer and politician. but mv country has enough lawyers and too many politicians," Alba declares.

From here he was sent to Kelley field in Texas, where he was commissioned a first lieutenant in the United States army air corps in 1924, becoming the only Filipino ever to receive this distinction. In Lindy's Class At Kelly field Alba was in the same class as Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and they received their wings at the same time “Lindbergh always was a quiet fellow whese only distinction from fellow cadets lay in his great interest in the mechanical side of flying. None of his companions at the time imagined that he would attain such great success in the field of aviation. He was fairly good, but there were many cadets who w'ere better at the time," asserts Alba. For the last several years the Filipino flier has been engaged in commercial flying at the Newark Metropolitan airport. He has more ! than 1.700 flying hours to his credit.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

U. S. IS ON ITS WAY TOWARD LARGER NAVY Tires of Waiting on Other Nations to Disarm: 21 Ship Bids Opened. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srripp'-Hoaard lorntn Kditor WASHINGTON. July 26.—After eleven years of futile waiting on the other powers to follow the American example and reduce their fighting fleets, the administration today 1 took its first major step to give | Uncle Sam a navy second to none. At noon, in the munitions building. in the presence of Navy Secretary Swanson, Admiral Standley. chief of naval operations, and other high officials, bids were opened for twenty-one ships of war out of a new program totaling thirty-seven. All of the ships are to be completed by the end of 1936 when the treaties of Washington and London may, on proper notice by any of the interested powers, come to an end. leaving all with a free hand to build as they please.

Two Aircraft Carriers The ships for which bids were opened today include two aircraft carriers of 20.000 tons mch. two cruisers of 10.000 tons each. 15 destroyers ranging from 1.500 to 1.850 tons each, and two submarines of 1.400 tons each. These vessels are to b>* built by private concerns. The 16 others making up the program of 37 will be built at government yatds. some on the Atlantic and some on the Pacific coast. In fact, 6 submarines and gunboats already have been ordered in the latter category, the orders going to Portsmouth, New York. Boston and Charleston. For the most part, the money to build the ships will come out of the 53.300,000,000 recovery act fund for public works. Some $77.000 000 will be expended in addition to modernizing existing battleships and about $10,000,000 will go for new airplanes for the new craft Foreign powers have manifested much interest in the new nval program launched by this country. Without being told so in so many words, and without any undue hullabaloo. they know it is in answer to their failure to do anything about disarmament. C. S., Britain Same According to the Washington ; treaty of 1922. the United States I and Great Britain were to have fleets of the same size and Japan a fleet three-fifths as big as that of Britain or America. The other powers steadily have gone ahead building as close to the treaty maximum as possible. The United States, on thp contrary, has refrained from any such program. Instead it has left no J stone ''unturned to bring about still further naval reduction and limitation. It hoped to achieve its purpose by example as well as precept, j After more than a decade of failure in that direction. Washington has now altered its policy. A navy second to none has become its objective. Even with the new construction, the United States will be short of treaty strength at the end of 1936 by approximately 200.000 tons, so far behind has it fallen. Experts claim the American navy, instead of being equal to Britain's and two-fifths superior to Japan's, actually is in third place after Britain and Nippon. BOUND OVER IN KILLING Negro Held on Testimony of Death Threat Night of Murder. Testimony that John Watts. Negro. 221 Geisendorff street, was found slain the night John J. Ross.

Estranged Wife Appeals to Court for Solution of Family Tangle. The difficulties of a young husband and father who lost his job because his religion forbade him to work on Saturdays will be aired in municipal and juvenile courts again next week. James Ashley. 24, of 1630 Lawton street, told his troubles to Municipal Judge William H. SheafTer Tuesday, but the rourt withheld judgment on a lazy husband charge until Ashley faces trial in juvenile court Monday. Ashley refuted his estranged wife's charge that he refused to work, telling SheafTer that he was the member of a church which has Saturday for a Sabbath. He denied that he took food from his family when he sold the pork and lard from the county relief baskets, because he was forbidden to eat them. “I didn't quit my job because I couldn't work on Saturdays," he said. “I wouldn't work, and so I was fired.” Mrs. Mary E. C. Mathews, 1512 Draper street, juvenile court probation aid. said the couple was married a few years ago when Ashley was "madly in love." Mrs. Mathews said she will recommend that the couple again join hands in their home and work out their own difficulties without outside interference. The Ashleys have two children, Phyllis Jean, Land Patricia, twentysix months.

BOUNDARY LINE RULING DELAYED Perry-Decatur Townships Row to Be Settled on Monday. Final decision in the boundary dispute between Perry and Decatur townships was postponed today until Monday by Marion county commissioners, who have considered the case for two weeks. Illness of Thomas Ellis, board member, caused the delay. The $5,000,000 plant of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company on South Harding street, which represents approximately half of the taxable property of Decatur township, is cause of the dispute. With White river the former boundary line between the townships. altered course of the river in recent years supplied the issue which precipitated the dispute. No indication has been given by commissioners regarding their decision. Both townships are confident of victory. Heated arguments vhich marked all hearings on the question came to a climax Tuesday, when the commissioners received threatening letters. Regarded as a joke, the letters threatened “bumping off" for the commissioners if the dispute is decided in favor of Perry township.

‘Challenges’ Recreation Head in Golf Prize Row

Altercation Is Outgrowth of Scoring Error in City Employes’ Tourney. Ten days ago a quiet golf tournament was played at Pleasant Run course, under sponsorship of city 1 employes. Asa result, a challenge had been hurled today which may mean anj other golf tourney, a boxing match the less hazardous method ot i apology. Hurler of the challenge is none other than Glenn Diddel, 3105 , Guilford avenue, who shoots the Coffin course in better than average style and who has a handicap of fourteen there, Diddel played in the city tourney, shot an 86. holding a net of 72 with his handicap discounted. But he didn't get any prize and thereby hangs the tale of the challenge and many unruly words. Didders demand for another match, boxing bout, or apology from Wally Middlesworth. city recreation director, comes after he says he made several demands for a prize, which he didn't get. suffering humiliation and financial loss From Diddel's angle, the story is this: He played the last nine holes first to complete a foursome. His card showed a 43 and he turned it in. Later in the day lie toured the first nine, completing the game late, j but with another 43. which he says he gave to the same scored. The Monday following the tournament, he picked up a papier and saw he was not listed as a prize ; w’inner. HLs 72 net wasn't even listed. He called the: pro at the course, who knew nothing about it. He says that when he finally got. in touch with Middlesworth, the latter said only the first nine-hole score of Diddel had been turned in. "I've written a letter to Middlesworth and Mayor Reginald H.

BACKACHE? Diurex will help you if it comes from kidneys. Mr. Samuel H. Bass, Rochester. Indiana. R. F. D..

"There re only three ways out of the situation. “I'll challenge Middlesworth to an eighteen-hole match for a $lO side bet. or I'll meet him with the gloves in a fight to the finish. The third thing I'll do is accept his apology for some of ihe things he said to me. I already have apologized to him."

Application must be made through a police physician or the director of a hospital, insane asylum or similar institution. Decision, in the end. will rest with a "hereditary court" to be established. with an appeal branch whose verdict will be final Force is provided in the event that an involuntary subject for sterlization will not consent to an operation.
