Quite a few new mem bers of congress, have applied for.it at the document room, fucked away between the rotunda and Statuary hall in the capitol. Stranger still, the minute they ask for it Joel Gray son, the presiding .genius of . that, legislative storehouse, knows just what they.vvrant "and thands out It he three volumes: (1) 'the 1 Book , of Estimates, which, lis '.the; .'budget "for" Federal expenditures;- (2).:-Receipts" and Expenditures, which is an audit on all the moneys spent by Uncle Sam, and (3) the Statistical Abstract, gotten up by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, giv ing comparative statistics for a 10 year period on practically every ac tivity , on' which 'the government gathers figures.

He is a prince of a "good fellow," hails from Virginia and is a typical, high-strung southern" gentler man, strong on the flattering come back, which never .misses fire.- For example; J.

They were talking of Senator Sterling, and when they ogfiU got in the "far," cdlvwjre the vjntroduction: '4Jdr.

' " -7 t Washington,. May 21. Contro versy over the proposed . establish ment of a new Pacific coast naval base at Alameda, Cal., and for sus pending Charleston (S. C.) navy yard improvements again stalled the $500, 000,000 ' naval approporialion bill'in the senate in a quagmire of debate. .No votes were taken. I no ' nrosress ,.nc timrlf. svi-ent AnKta inil cm- ate adjourned until next Monday with leaders "hoping for passage of the bill early next week. A .bipartisan attack, led by Sena tors Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, and Borah, republican, Idaho, was conducted "against the Alam?da proj ect. It was contended that the bill's provisions appropriating $1,500,000 to begin dredging and excavating for a new supply base and authorizing ac ceptance by the government of more than 500 acres of land near Alameda, really contemplated , scrapping the Mare island navv varrl and the ex penditure of from- $60,000,000 to $100,000,000 for a great general fleet base. Senator Poindexter, republi can, Washington, in charge of the bill, contended that merely a small supply base ' was contemplated at present and that congress could re fuse further appropriations for a fleet base. The Charleston project was the subject of an address by Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina, who charged sectionalism in naval appro priations. Urging the senate to re consider its consent vote ordering suspension of work on the Charles ton dry dock and channel until 1924, he asserted that greatly dispropor tionate expenditures had been made on the 500 miles of Atlantic coast north of Cape Hatferas to the 2,000 miles of coast line to the south.
