largely to the acquisition of new

In the ear starting July I.
Talcing notice of the lack of prog
ress at the London naval conference

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.

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.

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.

pains In the back of the neck, about
the shoulder blade, face or head, In

muscles will stop and you should soon
be free from soreness, swelling, stiff

anything you have ever used. Don't
