Adams Outlines Naval Savings To President
Secretary Adams informed President Hoover at a Rapidan camp conference that Navy spending during the current year totaled about 10 million with next year’s estimates from 810 million to 6150,8000. The Island of Guam was deemed of no military value and all activities will be reduced to civil government minimum. Navy appropriations were 350 million last year and 980 million for the coming fiscal year, with savings from decommissioned destroyers and reassigned battleships, affecting about 4,800 discharged sailors. The meeting aimed to curb expenses in 1932 by abandoning certain shore stations and concentrating activity in key centers while avoiding large personnel cuts or building up to London talks limits.
