WASHINGTON, Jun 20.——
President Hoover's naval policy
drew criticism today before the
house naval committee.
Rear Admiral Frank B Upham,
chief of navigation, was describing
the dimiqilty the navy would have
of meeting an emergency because
of reduction of men and the Inop-
erative status of many vessels when
Representative Britten. tR., I)
asked : '
"Admiral. Isn't it true that this
ptacUcc of supposed economy may

Upham agreed.
- The naval officer, supporting tpe
Vinson bill for Miff 230000 worth of
new warships, said at present there
are only zbout 85,000 men in the
navy.
“If we regard the navy today as
a training navy, we are not train-
ing enough m- to run cur ships,"
Upham said. "We would have to
obtain the balance necessary to run
the ships we have from untrained
men in cusot an emergeney."
The 85,000, he said, are only
about 84 per cent of the number
that would be needed to operate

ready has

The amendment by Charman

recommended today by Post-
master Gqeral Brown.

Iler, he appeared before the House

plain the administration's request
for increased postal revenues to

budget. -———•— —
Brown recommenided the first

two to three cents an ounce and
estimated this would bring in $100,-

"This increase we feel is justi-
fiable." he said, “based on the value
of service rendered and as compar-
ed with rates that prevail to other
countries
Would Increase Fees
Brown said he favored a slight
advance to second class rates.
The Postmaster General also re-
commended increase to registered
mail fees, insurance rates on par-
cel post, money order fees. and
fourth class mail rates.

Very little grain is being put on
the market by Denton County tu-
men, it was reported by local mill-
ers Wednesday morning. Home
wheat is being sold, and a little
oats. No barley to being moved at
present
Wheat was quoted here at 50
cents a bushel Wednesday, oats at
17 cents, barley at 35 cents.
Some local grain growers are
holding oats to hope that if con-
tinued rain cuts down the winter
oat acreage the price will rise. om-
an. however, point out that in that
event the demand for seed oats
would also be cut and express dis-
belief that the quotations, consid-
ering the condition of the country
as a whole, would be materially al-
tered. . _
