try will save !?3<HU,H> a year, ami
J48 sailors that have wasted their
time on the Mayflower will be as-
signed to new naval vessels.
The Mayflower has been added
to the cost of maintain in/ a Presi-

Hoover's determination to discon-
tinue a thoroughly undemocratic
arrangement will be generally ap-
preciated.
The people would not grudge a
good President any comfort or

fantastic.
