v ' WASHINGTON, January 3. The Naval Appropriations Bill, carrying 324,394,680 dollars, which is nearly 10,000,000 dollars belew the present appropriations, was reported to the House and is expected to be duly passed. Heeding the President's request for economy, the committee asked for no appropriations for three cruisers and two giant dirigibles, and left the navy personnel at its present figure of 82,500. The recent proposals for ten cruiseni were approved. President Coolidge stahds independently in another Bill calling for no actual appropriation of funds, hence the present situation. There is no actual demand for money for new fighting craft, though it may develop as the session progresses. -—,-!• —. I IS
