2 CONFIDENT U. 5. 10 KEEP ORIGINAL NAVY BUILDING PROGRAM State Department De donment of 32-Ship Schedule Proposed Washington, Sept. 19—(4)—Confi- dent assertions the United States will maintain intact its $238,000,000 naval building program were heard in naval circles Tuesday in reply to reports that Great Britain has suggested abandonment of the plan. Seeking to reconcile British views! cn naval construction with a state department denial that abandonment of the entire 32-ship program had been proposed, naval experts agreed any British suggestion almost certain- ly would deal with vessels in the 10,- 000-ton -cruiser category. Informed officials said that judging by past expressions, if Great Britain had sponsored any message on altera- tion of the naval building plan, it probably centered on the four 10,000- ton cruisers included. England re- peatedly has urged a_ limitation ground the 7,000-ton figure for vessels of this class. So positive was the navy of com- pleting the building program made possible by public works funds, that i. planned to ask congress for a 50 per cent increase in its fighting air strength, or a boost in numbers from 1,000 to 1,500 serviceable airplanes to help equip the additional ships. Of the 500 additional planes con- templated, 252 would be required by the $238,000,000 program which in- cludes two carriers of 114-plane ca- pacity each and four 10,000-ton cruis- ers which carry six planes each. ‘These 10,000-ton cruisers are of the so-called Class B type that carry six- inch guns. Observers here feel that any London suggestion on naval con- struction most likely would seek a de- lay in the building of these cruisers with the view of lowering the tonnage limit at the 1935 Geneva conference.

This pressure dis- hig! tribution is accompanied by winds in the Dakotas and Minnesota. ‘Temperatures are high in the Mis- sissippi Valley and Great Lakes re- gion, but much cooler weather pre- vails from the Rocky Mountain region westward. Record high temperatures for so late in the season occurred in central North Dakota yesterday after- noon. Precipitation occurred from Missouri and Kansas northward to Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but the weather is mostly fair from the Rocky Mountain region westward to the Pa- cific coast.

We have assisted the institution heads in many cases in arriving at the costs of the changes or new equipment which they in- tend to ask the Legislature to appropriate money for. “There are many incidental services rendered, a sample or two of which are as follows: “‘At the Hospital for the Insane at Jamestown, they were having con- siderable trouble with their water supply. The water treatment plant was not functioning properly, causing a complete choking of some of the water pipes. This necessitated a large annual expense in replacements. After an extended analysis of conditions changes were made in the chemical mixtures which entirely corrected the trouble. “‘At the State Penitentiary the method of transmitting power to the twine factory was by belt-driven engine and it was desired to change this to a more efficient method. After the gathering of considerable data on the ground a plan was worked out for the electrifying of the plant by the use of smaller motors, which would make a considerable saving. The cost in general outline of these changes are now ready. At the Penitentiary they were also getting their water from a distance of about 1200 feet by the use of air lifts, which is a very inefficient method of operation. Esti- mates are ready for the changing of this system into a more modern one. “These are just samples of the individual items which, when they arise, are included in this service referred to above.’ ‘PILLSBURY ENGINEERING COMPANY, ‘By FRANK NUTTER (Signed) ‘Secretary.’ “Further investigation discloses that the Engineering Company was paid for services which were purported to have been rendered at the vari- ous institutions as follows: Fees Expense Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Dunseith $ 75.00 $ 18.90 Hospital for Insane, Jamestown 1,075.00 187.92 State Capitol, Bismarck ........ 150,00 * 25.87 State Training School, Mandan . 170.00 36.50 State Penitentiary and Twine Plant.. 600.00 120.77 State Teachers College, Dickinson . 140.00 68.53 “State Teachers College, Minot ..... 75.00 46.46 “Note: “In accordance with a communication by a member of the Board of Administration, the charge made at the State Teachers College at Minot was changed and cut down in anticipation of meeting with opposition on account of the funds at that point.

Sinclair Plans Big Advertising Campaign New York, N. Y., Sept. 19.—Sinclair Refining company Tuesday announced the launching of the most intensive advertising campaign ever undertaken by the company. The campaign in- ‘troduces the-new Sinclair H-C Gaso- line to the nation's motorists and also includes wide promotional effort for the tied leading brands of mo- tor Because of their effectiveness, a Sinclair official said, newspapers have been selected to carry the bulk of the company’s sales messages to the pub- lic. The new Sinclair campaign will employ more newspaper advertise- ments than the company has ever used before in any one sales drive. A leading feature of the Sinclair campaign this year will be photo- Graphs of the Sinclair Dinosaur Ex- hibit at the Chicago World’s Fair, which will be used as a background for the newspaper advertising. ‘The Sinclair campaign will direct public attention to the new Sinclair H-C Gasoline which, company offic- ials state, is higher in anti-knock than the Sinclair Stepped-Up 70 Gas- joline formerly marketed. Although selling at regular gas price, they said, the new H-C also is higher in anti- knock than the original H-C, which sold for five years at the premium price. Sinclair officials pointed out that the new H-O is a “Blue Eagle” product, being refined and marketed under conditions set forth in the pet~ roleum industry's NRA code to w! the Sinclair Refining company has fully subscribed. Ecuador's principal export is balsa ‘wood, lightest wood in the world. N. D. Wheat Farmers Signed 40 Per Cent per wheat allotment plan, is the “conser- vative estimate” of C. F.

The reports from the 19 counties show about one-fifth of the total wheat acreage-of the state signed up, and Monroe believes the rei 34 counties have signed up easily that much more. He will receive another rg more comprehensive report Sept. Thus far, he says, every indication is that between 90 and 95 ‘per cent of the wheat farmers of the state will sign agreements before conclusion of the drive.
