By tha Assoclated Pross. Expenditure of $88,253,000 would be necessary for procurement and main- tenance of aircraft for the five airplane carriers and 25 scout cruisers contem- plated under the administration’s new warship construction program, Capt. John H. Gunnell, budget officer of the Bureau of Aeronautics, testified today before the House naval committee. This would be in addition to the $740,000,000 for the actual cost of the ships. Gunnell said that 759 planes would be needed for the vessels, but that a total of 1,490 planes would be required for replacements and training purposes. This number of planes would be in ad- dition to the 1,000 planes proposed in the five-year aviation program, which is now in its second year. The planes for the aircraft carriers and cruisers would actually cost $60.- 667,000 and their maintenance would be $27.586,000. These figures, it was explained, were based upon the air- plane needs up and througin the year 1936, after which it was estimated that an cxpenditure of $9,727,000 would be required for replacements and main- tenance. Lieut. Comdr. G. A. Smith, personnel officer of the Bureau of Aeronautics, under questioning by Representative Vinson, Democrat, Georgia, said that 32,930 officers and enlisted men would be required to man the new aircraft. Smith figured there would be a need for 670 commissioned aviators, 280 non- commissioned pilots and 1,980 enlisted men with aviation rating. Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, explained the landing last week of the dirigible Las Angeles on the airplane carrier Sara- toga. A bumper would be desirable on the airplane carrier, especially if the ship were pitching as the Saratoga was at the time of the experiment, he said. . MAN, 87, HIT BY AUTO. . Two charges of hit-and-run driving were lodged against Alvin G. B: 3 4425 Fourteenth street, last night after the other party to the second accident had landed in Emergency Hospital. Police said Branham's car tipped the fender of the car of Julius Lovelace, 3154 Monroe street northeast, at Sec- ond and Summit streets northeast, do- ing no damage, and that not long aft- erward he knocked down Joseph Han- noe, colored. 87 years old, 1617 Thir- teenth street at Thirteenth and Riges streets. Hannoe suffered from shock and an injured leg. His condition was not serious. Police of the second precinct arrested Branham. CHALLENGES USED Judge Allows State to Con- tinue Questioning of Talesmen. By the Associated Press. HALL OF JUSTICE, Los Angeles, January 30.—The right of the State to exercise further peremptory challenges in comflleum a jury in the sanity trial of Willlam ~Edward Hickman, kid- naper and sl-ger of Marian Parker, was upheld today by Judge J. J. Tracubbo. The prosecution and defense had ac- cepted the jurors in the box last Friday. but District Attorney Asa Keyes at the resumption of the trial this morning re- quested and received permission to use the State's remaining challenges. Questioning of talesmen then pro- ceeded. The State's fifth challenge was exqrcised to remove a man who ad- mitted he had a relative in the sheriff’s office. Woman Is Excused. The seventeenth challenge shortly was employed by the defense in excus- ing a woman. Refusing to periait any delay in the completion of the jury, Judge Trabucco at the outset overruled a defense mo- tion for the calling in of three scien- tific_experts from outside the State. After the State objected, Judge Tra- bucco denied the motion, commenting that it would only delay the trial. Jerome K. Walsh, chief of defense counsel, took the witness stand to plead for his motion without success. He declared the defendant was with- out funds, and that he himself was at personal expense handling the case. District Attorney Keyes inquired if a defense fund raised in Kansas City was not paying the expenses. Denled by Walsh. “That is absolutely false.” Walsh sald. “I have already used $600 from a per- sonal account, and have a $300 bill out- standing, none of which I expect to recover from the defendant or his family.” Contrasting with earlier days of the trial, the courtroom was filled before the session opened and there were more women present.
