- NAVY'S BUDGET FOR 1941 PARED
" House Appropriations Group Slices Bill $100,000,000 In Economy Drive.
+ WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (wv. P). =—A House Appropriations Subcommittee, continuing the current Congressional economy drive, has cut more than $100,000,000 out of the| Navy Department budget for 1941, it was learned today. The cuts would boost to approximately $260,000,000 ths reductions in President Roosevelt's budget figures as they are represented in the. present status of six appropriation |
bills handled so far this session. At:
the moment the saving under the budget amounts to $159,000,000, although only one of the bills is in its final form. > Members of the House Naval: Appropriations Subcommittee said the cuts in the Navy bill have been made without seriously affecting funds requested to continue the present building program, which calls for construction to start in the fiscal year beginning July 1 on 19 new fighting ships.

Members found that the’ nets could be turned out in six months if the threat to safety became more active than at present. The goal of economy forces in the House is to cut President Roosevelt's $8,464,000,000 budget for 1941 sufficiently to avoid levying about $460.000,000 in taxes, which he estimated would be required to

I$ BULLITT ON POLITICAL TRIP?
Returns Today as Pennsyl- | vania Democrats Seek Candidate.
By LYLE C. WILSON _ United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Ambassador William C. Bullitt, who rates tops at the White House, is due in Baltimore by Pan-American Clipper today under circumstances suggesting that politics: were more important - than diplomacy in causing Secretary of State Cordell Hull to order him home. - Politics or not, Mr. Bullitt arrives as Pennsylvania State Democratic Chairman David L. Lawrence searches for some one to oppose Senator Joseph F. Guffey for Senatorial nomination in the state's April 23 primary.
Mr. Guffey's opponent. If he will take the chance he will have an opportunity this year to exchange a diplomatic appointive office for an elective seat in the Senate.
Failed Zo Shelve Guffey J Mr. Hull announced Feb. 1 that
on European developments. That was two days before the Democratic State Committee met in Harrisburg to whoop it up for a third Roosevelt term, and, if possible, shelve Mr. Guffey. But the Senator out-smarted his committee opponents and the most they could do was withhold indorsement from him and proclaim, instead, a free and open primary for selection of the Democratic Senatorial nominee. Pennsylvania reports are that the Party high command is fearful of Mr. Gufiey’s defeat but there has been no open move against him unless the peculiar coincidence of Mr. Bullitt’s hurry-up flight home may be linked with Mr. Lawrence's search for an anti-Guffey primary candidate. Mr, Hull simply told questioners Feb. 1 that he was calling Mr. Bullitt home but had “nothing special” to discuss with
him. Hull Won't Talk Politics
Inquiry at the State Department whether Mr. Bullitt’s return had to do with the Pennsylvania situation obtained the response that the Secretary, a one-time chairman of the Democratic National Committee,
veterans among politicians here, however, who are convinced that Mr. Bullitt is returning to listen to the Pennsylvania story and that he will end by refusing to enter the Senatorial primary. Mr. Bullitt, it is well known here, likes his job in Paris, where the U. S. Ambassador is a figure of tremendous importance —so ime
the few foreigners who has frequent and easy access to Premier Daladier. Mr. Bullitt could be drafted, of course, if - Mr. Roosevelt insisted that he run. The two men are on excellent terms and an Ambassador holds office at the pleasure of the man who appointed him. But whether it is Mr. Bullitt or some other, the anti-Guffey wing of the party in Pennsylvania, reportedly with the blessing of some of .the headquarters organization here, is anxious to have some one other than the Senator head the state’s 1940 ticket.
Democrats Split in 1938
Drafting Mr. Bullitt would follow Pennsylvania strategy in 1934 when the state went Democratic for the first time since the Civil War. Democrats needed a colorful and popular candidate for Governor then and they chose George H. Earle who, at the moment, was United States Minister to Austria. # Democrats enjoyed control of the state for four years until their organization split in 1938 when Mr. Guffey refused to support the gubernatorial and senatorial ticket put up by the state committee. Mr. Guffey joined forces with John L. Lewis and the C. I. O. to back Thomas Kennedy, a C. I. O. leader, for Governor and the late Mayor S. Davis Wilson of Philadelphia for the Senate. That fight broke the party wide open. Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committee made a harmony plea just before the May, 1938, primary and threw his influence to Mr. Kennedy, the C. I. O. candidate. But the LewisGuffey slate was licked and the following November Republicans regained control of the state and kept their Senator, James J. Davis, in office.
