NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1930. NAVY BOARD HAS- PLANS FOR FLEET Program Would Reach Limits Set by Treaty ~Nashington, Oct. 23 (P—A nev building program to bring the United States fleet up toward thc limits of the London treaty has been drawn by the navy general board. It is to be studied by President Hoover as a basis for recommenda- tions to congress, which is to take up the question of naval appropria- tions. The exact contents of the board's program have not been made pub- lic, leaving undetermined just how far its members have gone in adopt- ing the cconomy ideas of the ad- ministration. The rate at which new building and replacement would be undertaken under the plan remained undisclosed. There have been authoritative in- dications, however, that the board fevored building up to the full limit of 135,000 tons for aircraft carriers. Including one ship just contracted for, the present tonnage is 79,800, in three ships. Several vessels of comparative small tonnage are to be built. Modernization by equipment of the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idaho! with the latest armament, gun controls and defensive armor, is provided for. Other battleships also would be rejuvenated during the next several years. Plan Submarines Submarine construction recom- mended is understood to involve re- placement of some 25,000 tons of obsolescent § and R type boats with vessels_displacing between 1,000 and 1,300 tons. Destroyer construction is believed to form an important part of the recommendations for immediate outlays. In cruisers the only construction not already authorized will be in the six‘inch gun class. This category was the center of the extensive (. posi- tion to the treaty among high naval officers but the type is favored by the new chief of operations, Inxml William V. Pratt. c United States has ten cruisers afloat, all fairly new. such It may build under the treaty another | 73,500 tons within the category but there have been numerous indica- tions that all might not be con- structed. Only four of the 18 ten thousand ton. cight-inch gun cruisers allotted the United States under the treaty, remain to be undertaken. The con- struction of all has been authorized, the last to be started in 1935. Estimztes of the cost of bringing the fleet up to treaty limits in every | category have run as,high as $1,.- 000,000,000 but the administration has indicated it believes a consid- erably smaller outlay sufficient. CIRGULARS ROUSE MRS. WCORMICK Claims They Show Mayor Thompson's Animosity to Her Chicago, Oct. 23 (®) — woman Ruth Hanna McCormick to- day pointed to unsigned circulars she said had been sent to Negro voters as vindication of her claim to complete lack of political alliance with Mayor William Hale Thomp- son. In a formal statement last night, the senate campaigner said that she had been advised that Mayor Thompson, leader of the republican group known as the city hall forces: was responsible for distribution of the circulars, which urged Negro voters to suppcrt her democratic op- ponent, former Senator James Ham- fiton Lewis. Her statement added that she had been informed the circulars contain- ed a "malicious~and unjustifiable at- tack upon her late husband, Medill MecCormick. “While I regret that’ the an- nouncement of the mayor's oppos tion to me was not made more open- Iy and regret that it is based on a malicious and unjustifiable aftack on my late hushand, 1 am pleased,” said the McCormick statement, “that the mayor's attitude is thus definitely disclosed. “His action will, I am sure throw a new light on my own political as- sociations, which have been gener- ally misrepresented in the hostile press for the last two years.” The statement continued: “I have repeatedly said publicly that I never had a political alliance with Mayor Thompson.” She added that the cir- cular appealed for votes for all re- publican candidates except Mrs. McCormick and cited this as evi- dence of *“Mayor Thompson's ani- mosity” toward her.

Neb., Oct. 28 (U P)‘The‘ history of a $500 bond used to finance the short-lived primary cam- paign of George W. Norris, grocer, ugainst Senator George W. Norris. republican, was sought today by Chairman W. P. Nye of the scnate committee investigating primary cx- Nye announced he would resume Lis inquiry into the Norris vs. Nor- ris primary muddle which ended in nomination of the veteran senator over W. M. Stebbins after the grocer had been ruled out of the race. Stebbins has claimed he alone was responsible for entry of the grocer into the campaign and ad- mitted it was he who ggve the man a $500 bond for filing expenses. Sen. Norris charged Stebbins was “the goat” of “outside influences and the power trust” which, he said, wanted him defeated. Nye announced he would trace the bond after he learned that a $325.17 “draft given Victor, Seymour, recently resigned chairman of the western republican senatorial committee, by Walter” Head, Omaha banker and utility chairman, cqualled the price of the $500 bond given Grocer Norris by Stebbins. Called Part of Loan The $525.17 draft by Head to Sey- mour was part of a $1,000 “personal loan” the Omaha banker gave to Seymour, according to testimony supplied by Victor Smith. Head's secretary, at yesterday's committec session in Omaha. Smith also said Head gave the money merely as a personal favor to determine whether Samuecl Mc- Kelvie, former governor and now a farm board member, or Arthur J Weaver, present governor, could win over Ni The poll showed that neither could win, Smith said. | Smith denied that any of the $§4,. | 000 contributed for the Norris poll ' by Head had gone for any olhcr] purpose. He said he had fears that the $1,000 personal loan to Seymour | may have figured in the grocer's case. This, however, “would be & distinct shock” to himselt and Head, Smith said. Cross Thinks Roraback Should Be Challenged New Haven, Oct. 23—Dr. Wilbur L. Cross, democratic candidate for governor, in a statement issued last night indicated that he thinks per- haps he should have challenged J. Henry Roraback to a debate instead of Ticut. Gov. Ernest E. Rogers, the republican candidate. Dr. Rogers said erhaps 1 was dressing my challenge to debate the issues of the present campaign merely to the titular candidate of| the republican party for governor instead of to the person who will really be governor in the dubious event Mr. Rogers is elected.” —————— RELIEF FROM CURSE OF CONSTIPATION A Battle Creek physician say onstipation is responsible for m misery than any other cause.” But immediate relicf has found.
