INGREASE IN NAVY PERSONNEL LIKELY Advocates of Stronger Force Forecast Appropriation for 88,000 Men. By the Associated Press. Advocates of a stronger Navy sawi good prospects today that Congress | would produce the money to add 6,500 more men. They pinned their hopes on what they called strong pro-Navy sentiment within the Roosevelt ad- ministration and on Capitol Hill Officials estimate the increase, which would lift the average enlisted strength to 88,000, would cost about $6,500,000. They figure on the basis of $1,000 a man a year for pay, trans- portation and subsistence. Vinson Sees Support. Chairman Vinson, Democrat, of | Georgia, of the House Naval Commit- tee said today he banked on the powerful Navy sentiment in Congress which last year pushed through his bill authorizing construction of a fleet to the limits permitted by treaty. The personnel problem appears to Secretary Swanson to be one of the most vital now before his department. In his annual report, published over the week end, Swanson said: “It must be realized that ships are valueless unless manned by adequate crews of trained and experienced offi- cers and men.” Hints Readiness to Race. The Secretary’s report made no specific mention of the naval discus- sions by the United States, Japan and England, but he dropped a hint that the Navy is prepared to keep up its | end in any shipbuilding race that | might follow a breakdown of the | naval limitation. “In the present unsettled condi- tion of the world affairs,” he asserted, “it is gratifying to see the Navy being | restored to a position commensurate | with its responsibilities in the defense of the Nation. “While we may be willing to re- duce our naval strength proportion- | ately with other powers, it is my firm conviction that the interests at stake | Justify and require that our Navy be second to none.” HOLT WILL ASKU. S. PROBE POWER FIRM West Virginia Senator-Elect Charges Utilities Interests Seek His Exclusion. By the Associated Press. Rush D. Holt, -youthful Senator- elect from West Virginia. who charged here Saturday night that power inter- ests were behind a move to keep him from being seated because he is not | 30 years old, plans as one of his first moves in the Senate to demand an in- vestigation of the West Penn Electric Power Co., serving northern West Virginia. “Shortly after taking my seat I in- tend to ask for a Federal investigation of the West Penn Power Co.,” he said yesterday. The Federal Trade Commission, which for the past four years has been engaged in a comprehensive investiga- tion of power companies, has not yet | gone into the affairs of the West Penn. “They may never reach it,” Holt said. “I want a Federal investigation of the West Penn at once.” | Explaining his attitude in general on the power question, Holt said he fa- vored privately-owned utilities compa- nies, under strict governmental regu- lation, but added he believed a certain | amount of public ownership was de- sirable for yardstick purposes. PEACE OFFIéER SESSION TO HEAR ROOSEVELT Anti-Crime Conference December; 10 May Bring New Proposals | for State Co-operation. By the Associated Press When Federal and State peace of- ficers assemble here December 10 to devise new ways of harassing law- | breakers, they will receive a word of en]muragement from President Roose- | velt Strong White House pressure was brought to bear last Winter before Congress enacted a batch of measures | giving the Justice Department unpre- cedented authority to deal with kid- napers, racketeers and their ilk. Hence | Mr. Roosevelt's speech at the opening | of Attorney General Cummings’ Crime | Conference will be awaited to see if any further moves are in prospect. Co-operative effort, notably through Interstate compacts permitting a Jom- ing of hands to track down modern\ criminals covering wide territory, will | be the main theme of the meetin; | tour of foreign service. | U. 8. 8.

HIT THAT COLD WHERE IT LIVES— in the System! Don't fool yourself about a cold! It's nothing to be taken lightly nor treated lightly. A cold is an inter- nal infection that will quickly spread within the system unless promptly checked. The wise thing to take for a cold is Grove's Laxa- tive Bromo Quinine. First of all, it is distinctly a cold remedy and not a “cure-all.” Sec- ondly, it is an internal treatment. Thirdly, it does the four things necessary. It opens the bowels, combats the cold germs and fever in the system, relieves the head- ache and grippy feeling and tones | and fortifies the entire system. That’s the treatment a cold re- quires and anything less is taking chances. All druggists sell Grove's | Laxative Bromo Quinine, 35c and 50c. Ask for it by the full name and reject a substitute—Adver- tisement. I THE EVE ORDERS Detached Naval Air Station, Pensa- cola, Fla., about December 7; to Air- craft, Battle Force. Sell, Lieut. (J.
