FRENCH STARTING
NEW PROGRAM TO
BUILD UP NAVY
. Ity M. K. WliltleullHT
PARIS (JP) Prance is starting a
slilp-bulldlng program designed to
put her In a strong bargaining posi
tion with Italy at the 1035 naval con
ference and to offset Germany's three
"pocket battleships."
The "Strasbourg," a 20,500-ton
man-of-war, a destroyer and two sub
marines soon will be laid down as a
part of a coordinated re-armament
program on land. In the air and on
the sea.
1 In addition, the entire fleet Is be
ing scrubbed and polished. Stat;?
navy yards are so over-loaded with
this task and with constructing the
"Dukerque." the model for the
"Shrasbourg," that the new building
plan has been allotted to private
yards. .
- Third Drwuliuuifjht Planned
The huge new capital ship will bo
constructed by the Penhoet company
at St. Nazaire, builders of the giant
transatlantic liner "Normandle," not
yet completed.
When the "Strasbourg" takes to the
water In 1937, Prance will have two
crack modern fighting ships of super
tonnago. Another of the same size
probably will be asked for next year.
These new ships will bring French
heavy craft up to the 175,000-ton
limit for capital ships allotted by the
Washington treaty of 1921 to Prance
and Italy.
Neither of these countries signed
the Ijondon treaty of 1930. But
Prance, by scrapping the six capital
ships now In service, all of which
have served their 20 legal years, could
add four other men-of-war to her
equipment (making a total of six)
and still be within the Washington
limit.
FRENCH NAVAL STRENGTH
PARIS (P) The total strength of
Prance's navy on January 1, 1934, In
cluding craft under construction, was
183 ships, totaling 659.004 tons, classi
fied as follows:
10 capital ships, 212,400 tons.
1 airplane carrier, 22,100 tons.
12 heavy cruisers, 124,400 tons.
17 light cruisers. 110,100 tons.
60 destro,-ers, 113,472 tons.
7 old submarines, 4.776 tons.
76 modern submarines, 71,756 tons.
This is the club the French hold
over Italian and German ambitions
to build bigger and better navies.
The French claim that they are in
a position to match ship for ship If
anyone wants to start a naval race.
- , Ready For Building Race
The new defense scheme calls for
close co-operation between the air
fleet and the navy. Fifteen "flying
ships" are contemplated as the air
arm of the navy. They will be equip
ped to function in battle in close
liaison with sea craft.
Furthermore, strategic coastal
points are being equipped with sub
terranean oil tanks as reservoirs for
the navy. These are to be kept filled
in time of peace. The government
hopes to get the oil from the French
share in the Iraq oil fields which are
about to be opened.

First Pioneer
Picnic Is Held
An Innovation In the matter of
plcnio was the Pioneer picnic held
Sunday at Pioneer Park up Cather
ine creek in that the pioneers of the
valley have never before held an In
formal out-of-door picnic. The event,
sponsored by the Prances Brown auxi
liary' of the Sons and Daughters of
Union county pioneers, was attended
by 62 people including some from
Baker county and visitors from Berke
ley, Cal., Now York and Portland.
Those who attended are very enthu
siastic over the day with the good
fellowship and opportunity to visit
which It afforded and describe It as
a never-to-be-forgotten event. A bas
ket dinner was served at noon. Vari
ous sports were provided for the
younger people including swimming
In the creek.
Ice company's plant at Bay 19th
street, between Cropsey and Bath
avenucu, in a thickly settled sector of
Brooklyn, three men, wearing aprons
of Ice company employes, quickly un
covered a machine gun mounted on
an Ice truck.
"Say a word and this spits," one
of the robbers told Joseph Allen,
driver of the truck.
At this point three automobiles,
which apparently had been following
the armored car, screeched to a stop.
Five to a dozen men. witnesses were
uncertain of the exact number. Jump
ed from the two cars carrying half a
dozen sub-machine guns.
One of the robbers walked to the
door of the Rubel office, reaching it
Just at Li Ulen thai opened the door.
He Jammed his gun Into Lllltenthal's
bacE.
An employe In the Ice company of
fice reached for a telephone on the
counter. The robber grasped it and
yanked It off the wire.
He turned to Lilllenthal, reached
into his arm holster and disarmed
the guard. The robber then ordered
Lilllenthal to "march, out."
Meanwhile, the rest of the robber
band had surrounded the armored
truck, training machine guns on It.
Pour men pushed Into the truck,
shoving Allen ahead of them.
Then the robbers began the trans
fer of the money bags to their own
cars.
The transfer took about three min
utes, the robbers working precisely
and speedily. They found the money
bagu, which contained coin and cur
rency, so heavy, however, that in
their hurry they left one containing
$29,000.

Parade of Sport Champions No
Reprisal,
By Paul Zimmerman
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Los ANC1ELE3 (jf) Californlans in
dignantly deny that the parade of
sports champions from the Sunshine
State this year has been put on to
atone for the amazing defeat meted
out by Columbia to Stanford in the
New Years day Rose Bowl game.
The native sons and chambers of
commerce would have It that Califor
nia's people are kindly souls al
though admittedly champions and
not at all Inclined toward reprisal.
That so many should win titles Is
one season 1b only tho Inevitable,
they say, brought about by the law
of averages. As proof that the Rose
Bowl defeat on a saturated gridiron
has had nothing at all to do with it,
the fact has been pointed out that
no one In the state even so much
as mentions that game or the flood
peclally against placing of more lands
under cultivation, continue to be
heard, they are much less violent
than they have been in the past.
Whenever irrigation in tho vicinity
of the Grand Coulee Is mentioned by
officials, It always is pointed out that
such a development would naturally
cover a period of at least 35 years
and therefore would in no way add
to the over production of farm com
modities, a situation that has been
tho government's "sore thumb" for
several years.
Inasmuch aa Bonneville and Grand
Coulee are closely linked by eastern
ers, whenever the subject Is ap-
proacnea by officials it Is pointed out
that Bonneville Is solely a power and
navigation development and Its use
for reclaiming of arid lands Is not
yet contemplated.
But the reclamation angle Is not
the only base on which the two big
projects meet with eastern disap
proval, A great many persons point
out that additional power Is not
needed, citing figures to show there
is a 25 per cent surplus of electrical
energy in this country at the present
time.
I
'What are they golne to do with
all that power once they get It," Is a
quesuon which is often asked.
And this question generally In
vokes the answer that It will be at
least flva years before any material
