Tentative plans have been arranged, under which one-third i of the fleet would be laid up in rotating reserve as an economy move, and pros- | | pects are that shore stations will be | similarly affected. Details of just. how the $55,000,000 | will be saved have not yet been worked out. Recruiting has been “stopped ab- solutely” and the Navy has banned pay ' | for promotions among enlisted men, ap- plying the same rule to the rank and file as has applied for nearly a year to the officers. ‘ Approved by Budget Bureau. | ‘The figure of $270,000.000 was agreed upon by the Bureau of the Budget, Sec- retary Swanson said, after extended negotiations. The Navy prevailed in its | stand of opposing a further slash of | $2,000,000, however. For the coming fiscal year Congress appropriated some | $308.000.000, but in addition there are continuing _appropriations which are ! estimated at 2round $16.000.000, as of June 30—the end of the current fiscal yeal This would bring the total of next year's anticipated naval budget up to $325,000,000. The Sccretary explained that when the warships are placed in rotating reserve, they will be overhauled at the navy yards, thus giving increased work at those points. Vessels in this status vl likely be manned with skeleton crews—the rest of their ordinary com- plement filling out the personnel of the ships in full commission. Disposition of Officers. Relating to the proposed slash in officer personnel, Secretary Swanson said he has appointed a commission 10 inquire into the professional status of those slated to go. He said officers who have been “passed over” by a selection board twice will be the first to go. He sald that they are too oid for their grade, as fixed by law—"so why should they be continued in the Navy?" The cabinet officer said 637 officers will be needed for warships soon due for commissioning. Asked if he thought 1,000 officers would be dropped, Mr Swanson said he did not think it would reach that figure, 5 It is known that a medical board is at work, going over the health records of the various officers, compiling a list of those who are physically below par While the Secretary did not touch this point in his conference with newspaper men yesterday, other naval authorities said officers who have had extensive time on the sick list will be dropped. Training Status Effected. Halting of recruiting means that the naval training stations at Great Lakes, I; Newport, R .I; Hampton Roads. Va. and San Diego, Calif., will experi- ence a slackening up of work. As the Secretary explained, if re-cnlistments | only are to prevail, there will be little need for training. Only the specialized schcols, that train hospital corpsmen, bakers, cooks, electricians and others. will be maintained at the stations. As the fleet is now on the West Coast. it is anticipated that San Diego will enjoy the greatest share of activity The rotating reserve plan has long applied to destroyers and submarines Under the new cconomy drive, battie- ships, cruisers and other craft will be laid up, effecting not only a saving in operating cost, but saving & huge fuel bill for the Navy.

This means that the |llylng down of four destroyers can ne provided for under present plans. It is expected that more funds will he provided for warship construction—en- |tirely apart from the naval supply measure—being included either ir @ | special naval building program or in a general public works bill. While the naval officials charged with handling the budget are busy studying ways and means of saving the $55,000,- 000, officials asserted that most of the funds would be trimmed from over- head expenses, operating costs and through elimination of personnel.

This opinion is held by farm organization leaders, who stressed the cham- pioning the bill. Sec y Wallace refused to discuss the effect of the tariff truce on his administration program, fearing it might reveal his plans for exercising powers | to levy processing taxes. He is an op- ponent of high tariffs as a_premanent national policy and is strongly in favor of the President’s program for reciprocal tarifl agreements in the hope this will permit expansion of the market for American surplus crops. Compensatory import taxes under the bill are to apply to possessions of the United States us well as other coun- tries, with the tax to be paid before release of the shipment from customs custody. Special Funds Provided. In the case of possessions, including the Phiiippines, Virgin Islands, Ameri- can Samoa, and Guam. the taxes c lected are to be set aside in special funds and spent by the possessions “for the benefit of a ulture.” + Whatover effect the truce will have on employment of the processing tax, it arned that Wallace intends to uce it “on a small scale” -when first put into effect, with a prospect it will be applied to only two products,’ wheat and hogs, before August 1.

It ciscussed in detail the elements entering a rate base and gave only a paragraph to the 7 per cent retun which the State com- mission estimated ihe Los Angeles Gas & Electric Corporation would earn, with the assertion it was “impossible to hold that a return of 7 per cent is so low as_to be confiscatory.” The corporation had claimed the re- duction, ordered in 1931. was too great and amounted to confiscation of its | proverty. ‘The cpinion further held that a “pub- lic utility is entitled to such rates as will permit it to earn a return on the value of the property * * * equal to that g:nerally being made at the same time and in the same general part of the country on investments in other business undertakings which are at- tended by corresponding risks and un- certainties, but it has no constitutional right to profits such as are realized or anticipated in highly profitable enter- prises or speculative ventures.” In dissent, Justices Butier and Suther- land insisted the majority had ignored principles laid down in the past as controlling the factors in rate-making.
