Curtailing Navy Expenses Targeted by Hoover Plan
President Hoover will meet with Secretary Adams and other naval officials at Rapidan camp to discuss trimming expenses of the naval establishment. About 7 million dollars were saved this year from last summer's Virginia camp conferences and a similar amount may return to the treasury next year. Reductions aim to preserve efficiency through economy and closing obsolescent shore stations as a closer concentration of naval activities continues on the Atlantic coast. The Navy department cooperates with the president, despite reports of waning optimism about further cuts. Participants include Jahncke Ingalls Pratt Fuller and McLean Parsons. Ambassador Gibson may seek views on the Geneva arms conference.
