Hylan Chooses Jail Over Court Order in Transit Fight
Mayor Hylan refused to approve a $1.5 million request for Transit Commission salaries and expenses, saying he would rather go to jail for contempt.

Bids for a Fourteenth Street Eastern District subway segment were delayed as the dispute deepened, with Governor Miller warning of removal if obstruction continued. The controversy centers on prior spending and ongoing delays in completing the line from Sixth Avenue to Brooklyn.

Revised Naval Bill Retains All Yard Employees
The Senate Appropriations sub committee completed a revised naval appropriation bill allowing work at current rates with no new force production at private or government yards. It denied funds for three new Pacific Coast bases but granted about half of the $32 million sought by Denby, including $10 million for naval construction and $3 million to transfer indebtedness from the Shipping Board. The panel endorsed continued ship construction, two aircraft carriers, and nineteen submarines with specific allocations for ordnance and aviation, plus funds to begin civilian naval reserve development and yard improvements at Puget Sound and Pearl Harbor, while trimming other base and facility expenditures.
