NAVY OUTLINES EXPANSION OF AIRJROGRAM 225 Planes to Be Added to Equipment; 24 New Ships Planned. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 7. The navy today made plans to expand its air force to match an extensive projected ship building program, which will provide a full treaty strength sea force by 1939. Speeding up the air program coincides with announcement by Navy Secretary Claude A. Swanson that he has approved plans to spend $90,000,000 this year for building twenty-four ships and 225 planes. An earmarked $40,000,000 PWA fund, as soon as approved by the senate, will be used to construct 225 planes, twelve destroyers, two destroyer leaders and six submarines as the first phase in the five-year Vinson replacement program authorizing construction of 102 ships. The remaining $50,000,000 will be applied on three light and one heavy cruisers, already authorized in the regular naval appropriations for the year. The airplane program is: 1. Completely filling all aircraft carrier tonnage allotted under the Washington and London treaties as soon as possible. 2. Construction of sufficient airplanes to supply ships launched since 1926 and to provide the same ratio of airplanes to ships in 1939 as prevailed in 1921. • The 13,800 - ton aircraft carrier Ranger was commissioned last Monday. Plans have been made to complete in 1936 two 20,000 - ton carriers, the Yorktown and Enterprise, being built at Newport News, Va. That will allow the United States one more carrier of 15,000 tons under the treaties. Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval aeronautics, said he hoped to obtain appropriations for this during 1935-36. He said building 225 planes this year was a “big step” toward securing the desired ratio of planes to ships. He expects to seek approximately 200 planes more in 1936.

The Theatrical World City Man Authors Film to Be Shown at Circle BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

YEARS ago, Charles B. Milholland of this city was an usher at the Circle theater. On Friday, June 15, the name of Mr. Milholland will be flashed upon the Circle screen as one of the authors of “20th Century.” It was in the home of his mother in this city that Milholland wrote “Napoleon of Broadway.” Before

it went to Broadway, Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur were called in to collaborate with Milholland. The play, based entirely upon Milholland’s original, reached the stage under the title of “20th Century” and the movie version carries the same title. In the meantime, the former Indianap-

John Barrymore

olis usher at the Circle has found himself wealthy and famous. He has just completed anew play which probably will be introduced to Broadway next fall. It is seldom that a playwright’s first play gets such a distinguished cast as “20th Century.” John Barrymore, Carole Lombard, Roscoe Kams, Walter Connolly, Ralph Forbes and Etienne Giradot have parts. Barrymore is cast as Oscar Jaffe, the most famous and the greatest of all eccentric theatrical producers. He seems to have attributed that all the great producers have had on Broadway. He is as nutty as he is brilliant, and clever. It is Jaffe’s troubles with his self-made star, Lily Garland (Carole Lombard) that make the story. Genius and love don’t seem to mix, especially where Oscar and Lily are concerned. Connolly is cast as Jaffe’s busi-

‘Y’ NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL TO HOLD EXERCISES Floyd McMurray to Speak at Commencement Rites. Commencement exercises for the seventh annual Y. M. C. A. night high school will be held at 6:30 tomorrow night in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Members of the graduating class will be guests at a banquet, when Floyd McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, will speak. Diplomas will be presented by Merle Sidener. Following the commencement exercises, the annual meeting of the alumni association will be held. Members of the graduating class are Henry Torrence, Carl Toth, Mary Brown, Lauri Wirenius, Ellsworth Edwards, Harry Oldaker, Virginia Sage and Burton V. Jones.

ness manager and Roscoe Kams is his high-powered press agent. Both are continually getting “the iron door” closed against them because Jaffe is a wizard at firing people when he is on an emotional tantrum. The first part of the play, as done in the movies, is placed back stage during rehearsals of one of Jaffe’s plays and then the action shifts on board the 20th Century, a crack train. Enough to say (and I have seen two private previews of this one) is that Barrymore is at his best and “20th Century” is a wonder. # Os Interest in City TOMORROW’S openings are listed as follows: H. B. Warner in “Sorrell and Son,” at Loew's Palace; John Boles in “Wild Gold” at the Apollo; Burns and Allen in “Many Happy Returns” at the Circle, and “Little Man, What Now?” at the Lyric. Theaters today offer: “Catherine the Great” at the Lyric; “Such Women Are Dangerous” at the Apollo; “Hollywood Party” at Lcew’s Palace, and “Stingaree” at the Circle.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FILLING STATION EMPLOYE WINS NRA WAGE SUIT First Court Action on Code Awards Back Pay to Gas Worker. Judgment for back wages due under a permanent industrial code was granted yesterday in an Indianapolis court, marking the first time for such court action in the national history of the NRA. William Laux, 723 Worth avenue, was awarded judgment for $47.50 against his former employer, T. A. Smith, proprietor of Smith’s Service Station, 5703 West Morris street. The case was heard by Wilfred Bradshaw, municipal court one. Laux testified that he was hired by Smith last December to work for $5 a week. He worked five weeks and then quit> Later he learned that the minimum wage for the petroleum industry was $14.50 a week* He then complained to the NRA and brought suit. There are said to be a number of cases throughout the nation in which judgment has been granted for back wages due under the President’s re-employment agreement, which preceded the permanent industrial and business codes, but this is the first time that judgment ever has been granted in connection with) a permanent code, Fred Hoke, Indiana NRA compliance officer, said. Francis Wells, Indiana recovery director, stated today that while the judgment returned yesterday was the first salary dispute under a permanent code taken to court, fortysix other cases involving more than $1,500 in alleged claims for back pay were settled out of court. Mr. Wells said that cases involving more than $25,000 in alleged back pay now are pending before him. He hopes to settle all the cases, he said, without resorting to the courts.
