Washington, Jan. 21 HP The
house today passed unanimously
and sent to the senate a bill au
thorizing the iiavy to spend S300,-
000.000 to strengthen the anti-aircraft
defenses of the fleet.
The house acted on the first
nyasure in a $1,209,000,000 naval
expansion program after Chair
man Carl Vinson of the naval af
fairs committee disclosed that
President Roosevelt shortly will
ask congress for another supple
mental delense appropriation to
cover this program and probably
increased army expenditures.
It will take up consideration to
morrow of the remaining two
measures which would:
1. Authorize the expenditure of
$135,000,000 to increase the na
tion's shipyard facilities.
2. Authorize expenditure of
$194j000.000 for new guns and
armor factories.
3. Permit the navy to build 400
additional auxiliaries at a cost of
$400,000,000.
4. Increase the number of mid
shipmen at the Annapolis naval
academy, immediately, by author
izing each member of congress to
appoint five instead of four, the
president to appoint 2o instead of
15, and the navy to select 100 in
stead of 50 from its reserve.
The anti-aircraft defense meas
ure was the first bill passed by
either house this session. There
was brief debate involving the re
lationship of this program and the
aid-to-Britain bill now in hearings
before the foreign affairs commit
tee but no opposition was ex
pressed to the naval bills.

WIDE VARIETY
OF BILLS UP IN
LEGISLATURE
Mahoney Would Make
Gambling a Felony
CONSIDER PENSION
Limiting Salary of Any
State Office to
$7500 Asked
Salem, Jan. 21 tut- Sen. Thomas
R. Mahoney, D., Portland, Intro
duced a measure today which
would make the operation of a
gambling game a felony, punish
able by a penitentiary sentence.
At the present time gambling Is
considered only a misdemeanor.
Mahoney also introduced a bill
which would allow any person
who lost money in a gambling
game to sue for recovery against
the owner of the premises or his
rental agent. The measures were
apparently aimed at Chinese
gambling houses in Portland.
In the house the revision of
laws committee, of which Res.
William McAllister. R., Medford,
is chairman, introduced 10 bills
designed to make corrections in
the laws of evidence at trials and
minor changes in other laws.
Asks Pension Change
Sen. Lew Wallace, D., Portland,
introduced a bill to insure the pres
ent $30 perston to all those in
need. It would take from welfare
workers the right to decide what
is actual need, and would merely
deduct any Income the pensioner
might have from the $30 maxi
mum, so that a person with an in
come of $10 a month automatic
ally would get $20 from the state
if in need. '
A joint senate and house com
mittee on medicine introduced a
bill in the senate stepping up the
requirements for optometry, and
requiring four instead of two
years of training in a school of
optometry.
Rep. Richard Neuberger. Dem.,
Portland, put in a house bill which
would prohibit any state employee
from getting more salary than the
governor (who gets $7500 a year).
The measure was similar to one
brought in yesterday. Only state
employe getting more than $7500
now is Chancellor Frederick M.
Hunter of the state system of
higher education, who gets more
than $11,000.
Passage of Some Expected
It was expected today that, in
the house at least, several bills
might be up for third reading and
final passage tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a sub-committee ap
pointed late yesterday is studying
a plan for a $60-old-age insurance
plan, preparatory to submitting- it
to the legislature.
Sen. Rex Ellis, R., Pendleton,
who will introduce the bill after
it is prepared, appointed Senators
Wallace and Thomas A. Mahoney,
D., Multnomah, and Reps. Phil
Brady, D., Multnomah, and H. R.
Jones, Marion, on the sub-committee.
The measures would levy a 1
per cent tax on the salaries of all
workers between the ages of 21
and 60, collections not to exceed
$15 a year. The $60 payments
would begin at the age of 60 years,
and only those who have lived 10
