THIRTY MILLIONS
APPROPRIATED FOR
AIRPLANE CARRIER
Wa^ington, D. C., July 26.—Rec
ommendation that approximately $30,-
000,000 be appropriated for the con
struction of an airplane carrier will
be made to Congress in the near fu
ture, Secretary of the Navy, Denby
announced yesterday.
A measure embodying such a meas
ure is pending before the House naval
committee and it is understood that
the naval secretary will urge its
speedy enactment.
Concident with Mr. Denby’s^recom
mendation, Senator King, Democrat,
Utah, introduced a bill which wouhr
provide for the conversion or the bat
tle cruisers Saratoga, Lexington and
Constellation into air plane carriers
and for stoppage of work on the battle
ships South Dakota, Tndiana, Montana
North Carolina, Iowa and Massachu
setts. and on the battle cruisers Rang
er, Constitution and United States.
Secretary Denby said he had deem
ed on his forthcoming recommenda
tion even before the recent bombing
tests but that results of those tests
had convinced him that the navy need
ed more air plane carriers.
Senator King, addressing the Sen
ate jn behalf of his bill said the bomo*
ing tests had demonstrated conclusive
ly that “too much importance,” had
been attached to capital ships and,
too little attention devoted to aircraic
and submarines.
Secretary Denby indicated that in
his opinion it would be wise to con
struct two new airplane carriers, one
for the Atlantic fleet and the other
for the Pacific forces. Two carriers
were provided for in the current navn*
appropriation bill as it passed the Sen
ate. but the House refused to accept
the provision and it was striken out.
Construction of battleships of the
“turtle back” type, similar In general
type to the grain carrying steamers of
the great lakes as a means of sending
off aerial bombs should be studied,
Senator King said.
“If Secretary Denby would get rid
of the old foggies in the construction
bureau,” he added 4 *he would do a
great service for his country.

Hione 67.
Atlanta, July 26.—The fight for
and against an income tax bill took
definite form yesterday afternoon
when, after an executive session last
ing four hours, the Senate committee
came out with a double report and all
split up over the measure.
Th? bill was favorably reported to
the Senate for passage by a vote of
11 to 7 without any substantial limita
tion as desired by the Governor. It
was brought out that a subcommittee
had conferred with the Governor and
it submitted a report favoring the bill
as drawn from an exemption of $1,-
000 on single men and $2,000 on mat
w’as adopted in that form as the ad
ministration measure. The fight for
this proposition in committee was led
by Senators J. B. Jackson and O. a-
Nix. Another faction headed by Sen
ator Jones wanted to defer action on
the bill until the next session so that
the people of the state might be heard
from. Another faction was opposed
to the bill without limitations, that
faction being headed by Senator
Walker.
After final action by the committee
a minority report was prepared and
will be filed by Senators Jones, Pop*,
Bellah, Rountree, Peacock, Akin and
Brown, who favor a combination of
ad valorem and income tax with pre*
scribed limitations. Comment among
House members indicates the bill will
have no chance to get through that
branch even if the Senate passes it.

proof that STUDEBAKER CARS are the best
