WASHINGTON, March 27 — 0) —The house today passed in rapid succession four bills designed to help the United States Navy reach treaty strength in 1942.
One authorized expenditure of $38,000,000 to bolster naval defenses. chiefly along the Pacific and in the Canal Zone. The authorization included $10,000,000 for a floating drydock at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, $4,500,000 for a drydock at Puget Sound, $3,500,000 for a drydock at Mare Island, Calif., and $2,-534.500 for submarine base facilities at Coco Solo, C. Z.
Another bill, passed without opposition, provided for the training of 500 youths annually to enter the Naval air service. The young men, to be known as aviation cadets, will train for one year at the Pensacola, Fla., naval air base, spend three years in active duty at sea, and then retire to the reserved list.
More and More Officers A third measure authorized adding 1,032 officers to the navy’s present 6,132. The increase will be made gradually, ending when the navy reaches treaty strength.
The fourth bill provided for retirement of certain officers among the higher grades in the Marine corps so as to do away with the “hump” that has prevented advancement of lower grade officers.
The senate spent the day considering repeal of income tax publicity. Meanwhile conferees from both houses met to adjust differences over the $4,880,000,000 works relief bill but adjourned without taking action. High administration leaders revealed that President Roosevelt himself will be the active head of the board that will allocate and administer the largest lump-sum appropriation in history. Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, now with Mr. Roosevelt on his Florida trip, undersecretary of Agriculture Rexford G. Tugwell and others will have important places in the administration.

Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper named Robert G. Elbert, New York manufacturer, and A. R. Glancy, Detroit, to serve on the industrial advisory board with Gen. Robert E. Wood, head of Sears, Roebuck and Co., Chicago. This board will aid in selection projects under the works relief bill.

Results
War Declared on Food Prices
* * * * * * * * * Meatless Meat Loaf Made
By United Press.
Warlike housewives fired their first broadside at food price-uppers last night with an effective bombardment consisting of the lima bean roast, vegetarian chop, pea pot roast, cheese cutlet and meatless meat loaf.
These tidbits will replace food in the files on all Los Angeles home-cooked menus if the embattled ladies are able to make their campaign stick.
Brandishing revised cook-books as the latest weapon of war. the housewives’ organization distributed menus prepared by Mrs. Catherine J. Stayner of Boston, techni. cal expert. Not so much as a puny pork chop or spot of hamburger was to be found in any of the recipes.
“We will make vegetarians out of the population of Los Angeles, if necessary,” declared Mrs. Margaret M. Matteson, militant leader of the housewives. “But food prices
are going to come down.”
The “meatless revolution” is the first step in a campaign directed at the high cost of living—particularly with respect to the butcher business, which has jumped prices more than 25 per cent in the last few months, housewives leaders assert.
“We do not place the blame directly on anybody,” Mrs. Matteson said. “It is an economic situation, and we intend to break it down.
“This movement is based on principles of American democracy and will continue until prices are reduced.” She said the “regular” housewives group “deplored” the action of more militant members who plan to picket butcher shops.
“That seems almost un-American.” Mrs. Matteson remarked.
Meanwhile the housewives group has distributed copies of a six-page buletin containing more than a scope of recipes for “meatless menus '

Dr. Griffiths To Give TalkToday
Works of Spanish Author Will Be Discussed in Literature Series
That the sportsmanship of American athletes in Japan is doing a great deal toward furthering friendly relations between the people of Japan and the United States is evidenced in the receipt yesterday of a cablegram from President Uyeno, of the Osaka Asahi newspaper, Osaka, Japan.
The paper is sponsoring a tour of 35 American football and rugby players throughout Japan for the purpose of exhibiting American athletic techic. Ten former Trojans made the trip.
The message, addressed to Y. Sakai, Los Angeles representative of Bob Erskine, tackle; Larry Stevens,
pan. Uyeno, President Osaka Asahi"
The athletes, among whom are 10 former Trojan football stars, left California shores on February 14 and expect to return about May 1, although Al Maloney, promoter for the trip, predicted that all of the men would not return, since several were hoping to land coaching Jobs at Japanese schools in order to further the sports on their athletic programs.

“Miguel de Unamuno: the Conflict between Faith and Reason” will be the subject of Dr. John F. Griffiths, Spanish professor, at a lecture today at 4:15 In 206 Administration building.
“In so far as a literary man may be taken as a representative symbol of a whole nation and the life of its people, Unamuno is such a representative symbol,” stated Dr. Griffiths.
“Unamuno's masterpiece is "The Tragic Sense of Life” which is a series of philosophical essays. The book is roughly divided into two groups. The first gives a critical treatment of the rationalistic philosophy of the nineteenth century and the second gives his answer to the enigma of life and his defense of the ideal of Immortality,” Dr. Griffiths said.
“The central theme of the eternal conflict between reason and sentiment in the spiritual sense of the word runs through most of his works. Unamuno is eglectic in that he has written every kind of writing, essay, poetry, novel, drama, short stories, and feature articles,” said Dr. Griffiths.
Unamuno is president of the oldest university in Spain, where he is a professor of Greek and philology. He has had a stormy career and was exiled from Spain under the dictatorship that preceded the downfall of the monarchy. In addition to his literary works, he has been active in political and educational fields since 1895.
Dr. Griffiths’ lecture Is the 3ixth in a series of free public lectures that are being offered by S. C. literary professors every Thursday, continuing through May 2. Each lecture deals with an outstanding literary figure of the past century.

Dr. von KleinSmid, on receiving the message remarked, “Such a trip is a fine thing for all concerned and particularly the athletes making the journey, since it is quite a unique occurrence for men of university age. It should do a great deal toward furthering good will between the peoples of tha two nations.’’
