EXPANDED U. S.
NAVY WOULD BE
VASTJXPENSE
Cost Is Estimated Over
3$ Million Dollars
More a Year Than
One at Present.
WASHINGTON. Mar 8. (IP)—'The
expanded United States navy con-
templated under President Roosevelt's
20-per cent increase program will cost
(2S.000.000 to $35,000,000 more a year
to maintain than the present fleet, it
Was revealed today.
The cost estimate was presented by
chairman Carl Vinscn. D.. Ga . of the
naval affairs committee shortly after
chairman Key Pittman. D., Nev.. of
the senate foreign relations committee
warned naval expansion was vital to
protection of the Panal canal—key-
stone of American defense.
Vinson gave the estimate to the
house rules committee in asking for
a rule granting 12 heurs general de-
bate on the naval bill
The committee voted to give the
measure right of
12 hours debate.
Vinson said co6i of the big navy
might even go as high as an addi-
tional $50,000,000 annually.
Rep. Melvin J. Maas. R.. Minn., a
member of the committee, told re_
porters he planned to offe- an amend-
ment to the bill to provide that the
navy may have at least 3,000 planes
instead of a maximum of 3.000 as
the bill now contemplates
Rep. Ralph E. Church. R.. Ill. asked
for more time for general debate on
grounds that “we were rushed in com-
mittee when it came to the question
of airships versus battleships.’’
Pittman took issue with the charge
of Sen. William E. Borah. R., Ida.,
dean of the foreign relations commit-
tee, that the expenditures were the
beginning of a world armaments race
•Ml possibly another world war.
Pittman said that:
1. The problem of national detense
is so vast that the proposed Nica~a-
guan canal costing probably *400,000-
000 should be built to supplement the
Inadequate war-time faculties of the
Panama canal.
2. The theory that advances In
aerial bombardment have made battle-
ships obsolete is without foundation
and comparable to arguing that im-
proved artillery on land makes in
fantry obsolete.
3. There Is no "logic In the view
that an invincible navy" must be useq
for aggression and the strongest
argument to the contrary is that
both "our people and our government"
are determined to keep out of forelgp
wans
Pittman's attack was made as dis-
senting members of the house naval
affairs committee charged in a minor-
ity report that the 20 per cent naval
expansion bill was “diplomatic" rather
than “naval." They said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's support of the pro-
posed program was based on a desire
"to Implement the qua-antine policy
and the policy of intervention in
Asia."
The minority report was signed by
Reps Ralph O. Brewster. R, Me..
Ralph E. Church, R„ 111., and. W
Sterling Cole, R„ N. Y. IYiey con-
tended that the bill.
1. Authorizes three new 975.000.000
battleships when the navy has not
asked funds to begin three already
authorized.
2. Limits naval aircraft when It
Importance is increasing with revolu-
tionary rapidity and other nations are
spending 10 times what the Unlttd
States is for experimentation and de-
velopment.
3. "Authorizes the navy to be used
In the practically unlimited discretion
of the president ‘for world peace and
security’ and to fellow American com-
* merce and travellers even though they
may wander at their own sweet wiil
Into the heart of a war zone."
4. "Should give congressional ex-
pression to the almost universal desire
for a disarmament conference."

the parade and then make a speech.
All this was started four years ago
by Gene Howe publisher of the Ama-
rilla Olobc-News and son of the late
Ed Howe It was started by a Joke
which Howe printed in hi* newspaper
column—a toke that did not stick in
his own memory although, he recalls
that it was something about money.
“I used to write about my ov.n
mother-in-law,” Howe said, and one
day put in the Joke about money. The
next day a man came into die office
and said You know Oene, tnat Joke
you had yesterday icaUy hurl my
mother-ln-lawk feeline. I went home
ar.Q found her crying.'
“Natilrlly I was sorry abou, that,"
Howt continued, "so the next day I
sat down and wrote another piece I
pretended it was my own-mother-in-
law I was writing about.”
What Howe wrote was this:
• "For the first time since I have
known her the mo .her-in-law has
had her feelincs hurl When I went
home last night I found her flung
across the bed and she was sobbing
and crying. Somethmi: I had said in
my column Just turned her heart in-
side out and it has shown me a side
or depth to her that I didn't know
she had."
The more Howe thought about It
the more he was determined to do
something for mothers-ln-law.
"Finally,” he said. "I decided
mothers-ln-law should have a whole
day to themselves That wa how
niothqr-ln-law day started."
He encouraged the formation of
"Mother-In-Law clubs," and most of
the clubs have delegates here. The
chief purpose of the clubs and of the
celebration is to try to persuade the
nation that mothers-ln-law . hould be
objects of aspect and affection lath-
er than targets for Jokes
In the yeats that have passed since
the beginning of the movement Howe
has evolved a set of rules for getting
along with jcur mother-in-law. They
ata:
1. Never com] lain about her ct/>k-
Ulg.
2. Be hind at all timers
3. Flatter her a little bit and you
can wind her around your little ,':n-
S*r.
