The hearing has been recessed since December 22 for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. The trial is to end and She court’s decision given within two or three weeks.
During 1937, both the army and navy reached the highest point of efficiency in many years due to an orderly program of replacing obsolete equipment and ships with the most modern war machinery yet devised. However, neither President Roosevelt nor the War and Navy departments are satisfield with the nation’s present armed might.
United States naval strength during 1937 was considerably increased by commissioning of 24 new warships. including one aircraft carrier. one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, 15 destroyers and five submarines.
VESSELS EXPECTED
At least an equal number of new Vessels is expected to join the fleet this year. In addition, construction of the super-dreadnaughts North Carolina and Washington will be rushed.
Mr. Roosevelt already has suggested that the 1939 fiscal appropriations for the navy include authorization for two more battleships, warning that world unrest might make necessary an additional increase in the nation’s first line strength.
The navy is now building or has funds available for construction of approximately 300,000 tons of new warships, or a fleet increase of about 30 per cent With completion of these vessels by 1941. the United States will have reached her “treaty navy” goal.
I ities in zoology, botany, and related I fields. A suitable campus site is being selected. Plans for the build -I ing will begin immediately. PURPOSES GIVEN
Purposes of the foundation are reported as (1> provision of an adequate building for the perpetual care of specimens, numbering into the tens of thousands, collected during the six Allan Hancock Pacific expeditions, <2) laboratories for scientists and students who come from many parts of the world to 3tudy these particular specimens, and (3) dissemination of the results of research activities by means of publications, motion pictures, and lectures. The university has already published 12 reports of various phases of this collection.
Under the direction of Captain Hancock, the six expeditions since 1931 have included explorations in the Equitorial Pacific waters of North and South America. Central America, Mexico, the Galapagos islands, and many remote islands south of the Equator.
SCIENTISTS REPRESENTED
Scientists on these cruises have represented the universities of Southern California, Michigan, Nebraska. and British Columbia in addition to the Zoological Society of San Diego and the California Academy of Sciences. Specimens from the expeditions have been contributed to the Smithsonian Institute, Field Museum of Natural History, and American Museum of Natural History.
As a result the University of Southern California collection of marine invertebrates from this area is said to be the most complete representation in the world. It includes many specimens hitherto unknown to science.
BUILDING PLANS
A unique feature of the new building at U.S.C. will be a huge vault of concrete and steel, extending from the basement to the top floor and independently braced aaginst possible earthquake. This will house the rare specimens of the Allan Hancock Pacific expeditions for posterity.
Plans for the structure also include a museum room for art treasures from the Hancock home, located at the comer of Wilshire boulevard and Vermont avenue, which will soon be demolished. An assembly hall for musicals and the showing of motion pictures, a library containing literature on marine life, laboratories, and a chart room Continued on Page Four

Lecturer To Talk On Ancient Man
“Ancient Man in North America” will be reviewed by Wesley L. Bliss of the University of New Mexico in a lecture to be presented in the offices of the anthropology and archaeology department. 3524 University avenue, at 7 p.m. tonight.
Bliss is visiting in southern California for a short period. He and Alden Hayes, also affiliated with the University of New Mexico, are conducting research on ancient man in North America. They will leave soon for northern Canada, where the work will be continued near the Arctic circle in search for the most ancient remains of man.
Four seasons of work are planned m conjunction with the University . of Edmonton. Both men are members of Mu Alpha Nu. anthropological fraternity sponsoring the lecture.
