PiGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1936. E IS ASKED FOR YEAR Largest Peacetime Sum Ever Sought for Military and Naval Purposes Maxi mum Navy Strength Aim WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. lP) J national defense budget of nearly I billion dollan th largest peace Mm nm vw aaud for atrlctlv mill' tary and naval mirpoees went to congress Monday from President Roosevelt. He estimated 037,791.9M would be required In the 1936-37 fiscal year lor tootn vne army ana ny. n 193,000,000 Increase over eetlmated 193S expenditures would be devoted largely to the acquisition of new fighting ships, aircraft and personnel In the ear starting July I. Talcing notice of the lack of prog ress at the London naval conference toward a new limitations agreement, he asked congress to provide S67. 873.400 for the navy, much of which would be used to build up the fleet to full treaty strength by 1M2. Tanks, Planes Asked. For the army, provision was asked for purchase of 807 new airplanes, more tanks, armored and oombat cars, an Increase In the number of West point cadets and In the natloaJ guard. In connection with naval outlays, a White House analysis said, carryover nd emergency funds would make sa 1.900 ,000 available for spending compared with (603.600,000 in 1936. i "These estimates." It said, "repre sent the minimum amount considered necessary to maintain the navy aa an efficient military unit, and especially to provide for orderly progress in the construction of ships, aircraft and shore lallltles, and an Increase In the number of officers and men to ward the strength oontemplated for the treaty navy under the approved naval policy." Counting unexpended balances, It was estimated 6343.000.000 would be available for 1937 to provide for con tinuing work on the 94 naval vessel now under coijatruotlon and for be ginning work on 13 destroyers and tlx submarines to bs laid down at the beginning of the 1937 fiscal year. This compared with 6333.000,000 for 1936. Recrultlnr Provided. An Increase of 17,0O0flO0 was pro vided so that 6,800 additional men might be recruited to bring the en listed Strength Up to lUUWU ujr Juno I, 1937. th mirtne corns was allowed a 61.664.000 Increase to boost lta en listed strength from 16,000 to 17.000, add 30 new second lieutenants. nd more aviation cadets and offloers and men to the marine reserve. Approximately 61,800,000 was added to the naval reserve budget to pro ride for additions to bring that branoh up to 4,460 officers and 17, 300 men, Including aviation cadets. For the army's military funotlons 1669.919,866 was asked, a sum com paring with 6346.064.873 actually ap propriated In 1936. The Increase, It was explained, was due primarily to Inlarged require ment for the air corps, authorised increases In enlisted snd cadet per sonnel, the promotion act, and to a general rise in the prloe of army food rations. to MITCHELL'S AUTO IS STOLEN AGP There seems to be something about Harold V. Mitchell's 1939 Ford town sedan that has a fatal fascination for car thieves. On December 10. 1936, the car was stolen from Mitchell's garage at 30 Tripp atreet. It was subsequently recovered, the thieves apprehended, tried, and pun ished. Recently Mitchell, who la proprie tor, -of the Auto Beauty Shop, gave the old bus a new coat of dark blue paint. Sunday night It was again stolen from the business section, and hasn't been seen since, although city and state police are both look lng for It. Tnj two who stole the car In 1933, according to the district at. torney's office, were Cornelius Schmidt, 16, and Gordon Johnson 17, both of Portland and both then In CCG camps near this city. Johnson pleaded guilty In circuit court, and was given an Indetermi nate sentence In the Oregon stste penitentiary, for not more than two years. Schmidt pleaded guilty in juvenile court before Judge b. b Day, and was given a suspended sen tence of six months. 46TH YEAR HERE Nurserymen N. S.

HtAU U JtUHMJ Fred Erlckson, Medford business man, last night was unanimously chosen chairman of the Medford box ing commission for 1930, to succeed P. C. Big ham, whose term has ex pired. Larry Schade was named Tics chairman and J. F. Fllegel was re elected secretary and treasurer. All elections were unanimous.

The sinking fund Is to cover - any expenses for which the commission might be liable In case of emergency. 6 per cent of the gross gate at each boxing or wrestling performance going to the city by way of tax. When the fund has been filled the succeeding; proceeds will go half and half to charitable organizations and recognized veterans' organizations. The committee meeting, which, was attended by Mayor George Porter, adopted a resolution to give a vote of confidence to promoter Mack Lil lard, whose franchise was renewed for 1936. The commission thanked Lll lard for his excellent promotion of wrestling In the city.. "141 lard has brought the same type cards to Med ford that are seen In Los Angeles. San Francisco end Oakland, and at lower prices," Fllegel said. During the past year various ap plications for franchises In the city have been made to the commission, but the commissioners themselves brought out the fact that wrestling bouts are paying a substantial sum into the city's coffers for the first time In history It wss therefore deemed, expedient to retain Ltllard. to whom they gave credit for con ducting the sport In a clean, business-like manner. All . members of the commission were at the meeting. A seven year plan of technical edu cation for Great Britain, to cost $60,000,000, has been announced by Oliver Stanley, president of the board of education.
