By the Associated Press. ABOARD THE U. 8. 8. PENNSYL- VANIA, off the California Coast, April 29.—A sea pageant in battle gray was drawn up on the Pacific Ocean today. The United States fleet moved out for a gigantic six-week war game. Into the mists before the dawn the gray dreadnaughts, submarines, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and other fighting and maintenance craft slipped away. Unlike previous maneuvers. wher the formations went out into the ocean under blue skigs, this year the fleet went out under cover of dark- ness. Takes Fleet for Real Work. Admiral Joseph Mason Reeves, notable for his achievements in strengthening the fleet, did not take his force to sea as a master showman. This commander in chief took the fleet to sea for real work. Decks cleared for action, battle orders in the hands of all units, radios silenced, the 153 ships of the fieet were ready The main battle line, under com- mand of Admiral Harris Laning, commander of the Battle Force, moved from the San Pedro base in a sortie. Paravanes were out and the usual safeguards against mines were taken. Utmost vigilance was called for in the protection of the capital ships from the most-feared adversary when 1t moves to sea, the submarine. Submarine Unit Leaves. ‘The mightiest submarine division in the world, comprising the big world-cruising submarines of Capt. Henry Martin Jensen, had moved out from the San Diego base. All operations are confidential. Admiral Reeves, aboard his fleg- ship, the Pennsylvania, is chief um- pire of the maneuvers, which will carry units of the fleet to all parts | of the Pacific Coast and the waters near Hawali, Midway Island #nd the | Aleutians. | _— DIFFERENCES IN YOUNG PEOPLE IS TALK TOPIC Dr. Frank W.

Regular Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee today blocked attempts of those interested in cotton textiles to reopen the whole tariff issue at this session of Congréss. This came soon after the Presi- dent's Cabinet Committee studying the whole cotton textile situation had | in the principal address last night at an | man of the National Grievance Com- heard an appeal from Maine for im- Observance of lawyer's day by the mittee, said one of the purposes of the| ghjlity and established mediate assistance. Subcommittee Urged. It had been proposed that & sub- reference to cotton textiles. But Democrats argued the President al- | ready has named the Cabinet Com- mittee to consider imports and the cotton processing tax. On almost a completely, partisan vote, the committee postponed in- definitely further study of imports. Headed by Gov. Lewis J. Brann and the entire Maine congressional dele- gation, a group of mayors, manufac- turers and State officials advocated quotas on Japanese imports, a substi- tute for the processing tax and equal- ization of wages between North and South. Four Secretaries Present. Secretaries Hull, Wallace, Roper and Perkins were present. Also attend- ing was Chairman Robert Lincoln O’Brien of the Tariff Commission and experts of the N. R. A. and other agencies. Brann said the textile industry in Maine was steadily losing ground. “Every cotton textile mill in Maine is now operating at a loss,” he said. | “And the continuity of the industry depends upon its immediate estab- lishment on a basis of profitable op- eration.” He denied Maine mills were obso- lescent and pointed out that five manufacturing companies in the State had spent $5,000,000 for equip- | ment in the last five years, 12,768,000 Yards in Two Months. Of Japanese imports, he said that in February and March 12,768,000 yards had been imported, as com- pared with 6,013,345 for all of 1934, adding that in March, 1935, imports of bleached cotton cloth from Japan equaled more than 25 per cent of the American production in 1934. ~ “This constitutes a serious menace,” he said. “I recommend that a quota be immediately established limiting the importation of cotton textile from Japan to an amount not in excess of any one year or the av- erage for flve years.” e OUSTED FROM AUTO, * MAN KILLS HIS WIFE Alabaman Also Wounds Brother Critically—Empties Pistol Into Car and Surrenders.
