ber 3 the greatest fleet of modern war-
•hips ever assembled under the Ameri
can Hag will rendezvous off Oyster
Bay and be reviewed by President

ernment about $250,000. The review
In September will far exceed the one
of three years ngo, both in number of
‘'■d-ips, armament and cost to the
■ernment. Basing an estimate of the
t - n tluit of three years ago, the
