LIQUOR ELEGTION DRAWS FEW VOTES Majority of Montgomery Districts Expected to Favor “Drys.” By « Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md, April 23—A small vote was being cast today in the special referendum called to determine whether the liquor law applicable to ceriain areas of Montgomery County shall be extended to include seven additional election districts. In some of the precincts less than twoscore votes had been dropped into the ballot boxes at a late hour this morning. The polls are to re- main open until 7 o'clock tonight. The referendum is being held in the Gaithersburg, Clarksburg, Poolesville, Darnestown and Olney districts and sale of light wines and beer and pos- session of liquor in private homes will be permitted in the communities which cast a “wet” majority. “Dry” Victory Expected. However, the vigorous campaign waged by the “drys,” coupled with the apathetic attitude displayed toward the election by a majority of county residents, is expected to land six, and bly all seven districts in the “dry” column. The lone district which veteran po- litical observers feel may legalize beer, wine and liquor is Laytonsville, which has a large colored vote ready to cast its ballots for the repeal of local op- tion laws. The polls opened at 6 o'clock this morning, but only a few scattered votes were cast during the morning Thours, principally by residents of the county on their way to work in Wash- ington or in other sections of the county. It is expected, however, that the ‘balloting might pick up later in the day, with temperance workers mak- ing & determined effort to get out a large vote to defeat the “‘wets.” Sales Permitted Temporarily. Each of the seven districts con- cerned in today’s referendum has been temporarily opened to the sale of light wines and beer and the possession of liquor in private residences under the county law, which automatically per- mitted such privileges when 30 per cent of the registered voters in an election district petitioned for & refer- endum to extend the law to include that district. Only four districts were made “wet” permanently when the law was enact- ed at the special session of the 1933 State Legislature. They are Rock- ville, Bethesda, Potomac and the sec- tion of Wheaton lying outside the in- ted towns of Kensington and Takoma Park. The sale of liquor, beer, wines and other alcoholic beverages, both from the county-operated dispensaries and other places of business, was banned today under the State law prohibiting such trade on election days.

He predicts that work will be started now on all of the 24 replace- ment ships and that if there is any delay it will be in less work in the Government yards rather than in the industria) yards. In reporting the bill today, Chair- man Cary of the subcommittee, em- phasized that “fully 85 per cent of the budget increase is responsive either to legislation or the present policy to upbuild our Navy to treaty proportions. To attain and properly maintain a treaty Navy of the pro- portions now permissible means in- creasingly large naval budgets, ex- | pected to stabilize around $555,000,000 per annum,” Cary said. Cary emphasized that in no essen- tial respect is the bill less effective than the budget recommendations, “with the possible exception of the proposal to appropriate but one-half of the sum of $29,380,000 included in the budget for beginning the construc- tion, all of a replacement character, of 1 aircraft carrier, 2 six-inch-gun light cruisers, 15 destroyers and 6 subma- rines. “The committee’s proposal to halve the estimate for additional new con- struction is offered with the thought that the administration might wish to defer the commencement of such construction until another naval con- ference has been held. Such & course should be interpreted as an expression of our faith and confidence that the principle of limitation will survive. Holding up construction on the eve of another conference with the tangible proof of our wish and hope and faith that limitation will be continued and in some respects curtailed. “If, for reasons deemed to outweigh those here advanced, the administra- tion should elect not to defer the con- struction of such ships, there is noth- ing in the bill to hinder that course which, however, most likely would ne- cessitate a supplemental appropria- tion early in the next session.” Total Cost Is $197,427,000. ‘The cost of the 24 replacement ships has been halved. The total cost will be $197,427,000. There will be avail- able for expenditures during 1936 upon ship construction, even with such re- duction, not less than $208,000,000. Apart from the new construction the budget includes $106,720,000 for shipbuildings, in addition to which ex- penditures estimated to total $86,830,- 719 will be incurred on account of the recovery program or a total of pos- sible expenditures during 1936, dis- counting any 1935 carryover, of $193,- 550,719, 'To complete the program will neces- sitate app ton in the future of » total of $154,238,292. The continu- ing construction program on vessels heretofore authorized covers the con- struction of 14 destroyers and 6 sub- marines which were begun during the current fiscal year. For the Naval Research Laboratory at Bellevue an increase of $100,000 from the estimate of $210,000 has been allowed by the committee. Of this $30,000 has been allocated for more scientific ble value to the Navy and there are great pomt:.mues of important early achievement Consistent with its action = year —_— Investigate the Prices We Pay 921 F St. N.W. Phone NA, 5543—Wa Will Cal » — | ago, the Appropriations Committee has | made provision for reopening of the training station at Great Lakes, IiL, bringing the appropriation up to $250,- 000. There has been a high rate of re-enlistment resulting from a scarcity of civil jobs, the committee found. ‘The Navy has an investment of ap- proximately $26,000,000 at the Great Lakes. “Even though both our large dirigibles are just memories,” said Chairman Cary, “the department is unwilling to close the establishment at Sunnyvale, where the investment is approximately $5,000,000.” By reopening the Naval Hospital at Great Lakes as provided in the bill, & bed capacity for more than 1,000 dis- abled veterans will be made available for patients from the Veterans’ Ad- ministration, which already has a waiting list of 800 patients ai one Chi- cago Hospital. For the Naval Reserve, an increase | of $1,079,491 over curreni appropria- tions is recommended. Of this $484,- 211 is because of the proposed increase from 16 to 115 in the number of re- serve officer aviators on extended active duty, 100 of whom will be em- ployed either in training or replacing Tegular naval officer aviators. ‘The amount recommended by the committee for the reserve exceeds the budget estimates by $3,352,825. Of this amount $3,228,252 is owing to the need to train and develop additional aviators to pilot regular Navy planes. Increase in Midshipmen, “The bill provides for increesing the number of Midshipmen in training at the Naval Academy by allowing each member of Congress to appoint an additional youth. The congres- sional quota was cut several years ago from 5 to 3. Today's bill would increase to four with the intention of increasing it again next year to five. The bill also makes provision for in- creasing the number of enlisted per- sonnel in the Navy by 11,000 men. ‘This increase is intended to bring the larger ships from 80 to 85 per cent complement, to provide crews for the larger number of vessels that will be operating and to meet the in- creased demands of naval aviation. ‘The estimate for naval aviation totals $52,000,000, which is $33,356,680 larger than the current appropriation. The budget provides for the pro- curement of 555 plants, of which 282 are to replace logses incident to crashes and old age during the fiscal year 1937, and 273 to add to the 1,193 on hand and in sight, out of funds already available, looking to the at- tainment of some 2,000 planes by 1940-1942. ‘The bill provides an increase of $33,000 to provide 12 additional civil- ian instructors at the Naval Academy, making the total 68. e WILL HOLD DINNER D.

Rockefeller for $31,416,534 was filed in the Greenwich Probate Court yes- terday by the Irving Trust Co. of New York. The trust company is acting as trustee in bankruptcy of the Interna- tional Match Corp., of which the late nephew of John D. Rockefeller was & director. The complaint lists dividends re- ceived from the match corporation by Rockefeller between 1926 and 1931 and charges that these payments were made illegally because at the time of the payments the capital and capi- tal stock of the corporation were im- paired and the assets of the corpora- tion, remaining after each dividend, were less than the aggregate amount of its debts and liabilities THE milk business is not sl science and cestification.
