Has Been Recognized Washington, June 7 Secretary of the Navy Adams, in expressing- re fret today that a policy of making "warships more representative of the 48 States" made It Impossible to name Brooklyn any of the new cruisers now being built, today said Brooklyn's claims would be consld ered when it came time to build other new cruisers allowed in the next Ave years nnder-the terms of the London Naval parley "If possible," he said, "one of these other new warships will be named 'Brook Katie Bureau, Celondo Building, June 7 Despite the requests and petitions ot Brooklyn citizens and New York State offi cials, the Navy Department has refused to give the name of Brook lyn to cruiser 32, plans for which are now being completed preparatory to construction at Brooklyn Navy Yard. New York State has many vessels named after its cities, Secretary of the Navy Adams explained. He said the name urged by citizens of Brooklyn was denied because other States are less well represented. As a result, cruiser 32 will be known as the New Orleans. Secretary Adams also announced three other names for warships.

Light cruiser 33, building at Qulncy, by the Bethlehem Shipbuild ing Corporation, will be named for Portland. Light cruiser 34, to oe 'built at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, will be called Astoria. Light cruiser 36, to be built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, will be called the Minneapolis. A fifth cruiser, now under construction at Camden, N. by the New York Shipbuilding Company, already has received the name Indianapolis.

Plans for the cruisers New Orleans, Astoria and Minne apolis are all being worked out at the central drawing room of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The keel of the New Orleans will be laid at the Brooklyn yard next September. John E. Ruston, president of the Brooklyn cruiser committee which appealed to Secretary Adams to give the local name to cruiser 32, said today that he "was terribly disappointed" at the decision of Mr. Adams.

"The Secretary knows his Job best, however, and he has reasons which are broader thun ours," said Mr. Ruston. "There Is nothing we can'do." Mr. Ruston said that he did not know whether there will be. any move to have a future cruiser named Brooklyn, or possibly a new aircraft carrier.

"That is anothei proposition which must be considered in Its proper time," he said. Rufus L. Perry, Negro Lawyer, Dies of Stroke Embraced the Jewish Faith in 1918 Had Long Po-litical Career Here Rufus Lewis Perry, well-known Negro attorney, died yesterday at "lis home, 1427 President after an illness of two weeks. Death was duo to a stroke. Mr.
