3 (P)-A new broadside against President Hoover's action in postponing the laying down of three ships of the 15- cruiser program, was fired today by Senator Swanson of Virginia, ranking Democrat of the Senate Naval Committee, upon his return from vacation. It came in the midst of conferences which the Chief Executive 1 is nolding with Republican Congressional leaders to acquaint them with the reasons for his action and ennanced the rather general belief that sharp debate in the Senate on the subject is likely after it reconvenes on Aug. 19. With the negotiations for naval reduction proceeding between Ramsay MacDonald, the British Premier, and Ambassador Dawes, there was growing apprehension in administration circles as to the possible effect of any prolonged discussions in the Senate over the authority of the President to take the action he did. His was made unmediately after Premier MacDonhad announced suspension of construction of certain portions of this year's British naval program.

Strong Criticism. Senator Swanson, in opposing the President's action on the cruisers, used even blunter language did Chairman Hale of the Senate Naval Committee and Chairman Britten of the House Naval Committee in expressing their opposition to the course of the Chief Executive. Describing the President's action as contrary to law, the Virginian said it behooved the President, especially when he has appointed a committee to study law enforcement, to obey the law himself. He added that Mr. Hoover would set a good example if he snould reconsider this matter and state that he will proceed to construct these three cruisers as directed We unless Congress should repeal the direction given him.

Sees No Arms Cut Aid. Turning to the naval limitation negotiations, Senator Swanson said he did not think the President's action would aid in obtaining a naval agreement between the United States and Great Britain, as it would en strengthen the British belief that all Great Britain has to do is to delay matters to keep the present status which gives her nation all overwhelming a superiority over ours. Asserting that it was the former Ramsay MacDonald government which continued to approve the building of cruisers which made the British Navy superior to the American Navy, the Senator said the American people should not be too hopeful about the outcome of the present negotiations. "It would be much better for the United States to proceed to construct a Navy suitable to its own needs and wants and let Great Britain do likewise," he said, "than to let Great Britain and the United States make a treaty which would give a great inferiority to the American Navy." Britten Expects Results. Southampton, England, Aug, 3 (AP) -Fred A.

Britten, of the House Naval Committee, whose comments on the Anglo-American Naval problem are naturally of interest to the British, declared arriving aboard the a Leaviathan today that he had every confidence in the conversations now proceeding between Premier Macdonald and Ambassador Dawes. If Great Britain scrapped seven or eight cruisers now under construction and the United States built all 15 cruisers authorized by the Britten bill, he said, the United States would still be more than 70,000 tons below Great Britain's gross tonnage. Some of the British cruisers are smaller than the Amrican and If Great Britain showed any real disposition to reach parity he believed much more scrapping would be unnecessary. The Congressman is en route to Geneva for the Interparliamentary Conference of Aug. 23.

Eckener hoped to reach New York this noon by taking the direct course, naval officers on the basis of weather reports were inclined to believe that the Zeppelin might not reach its goal until late tonight. They were even afraid that bad weather might delay her arrival until tomorrow. The following bulletin, composed from data in the aerological office of the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, was posted there yesterday: "Pressure between the Azores and Bermuda is high and weather should be fair until the ship reaches a longitude of 50 or 55 west, where the ship may encounter a portion of low pressure which lies northward over the Atlantic. In this region the winds are likely to be unfavorable for a time and the weather cloudy and showery. If the Graf Zeppelin turns southward to a latitude of 30 or below, she will avoid most of this unfavorable region and probably will encounter some favorable winds.

Winds to Shift Today. "After leaving Bermuda the Graf Zeppelin will come under the fluence fa low pressure system which lies over the Great Lakes region this morning. There will be favorable winds from the southwest and the south, if she covers the region between Bermuda and the coast of the United States before Sunday morning. During Sunday the winds should life to Southwest along the coast the United States. The weather Sunday will be cloudy and showery as the ship approaches the Graf Sights Whales.

Meanwhile messages were received here from passengers aboard the Zeppelin, telling how the passengers passed their time during their venturesome trip. Herbert S. Siebel, the Associated Press correspondent aboard the Graf, radioed: "We passed two whales at 11:30 a.m., going in the same direction. Our position at noon was 36 degrees 4 minutes north, and 43 degrees 36 minutes west. Our speed was 128 kilometers an hour (about 80 miles), and we had covered up to noon 5,519 kilometers (about 3,430 miles).

About half of the passengers are smoking synthetic cigarettes." Mail Pouring in for Graf.

Shore Gables, the corporation that planned such a gorgeous development for considerable acreage at Lindenhurst, L. has been tied up by an injunction issued by Justice Riegelmann in Supreme Court yesterday.

Except for negotiations and legal action, already launched by the holders of a purchase money mortgage for $48,579 the concern is prevented from engaging in transactions of any sort, and creditors may not bring dissolve suit Snore against it Gables, until a brought suit to by the Attorney General, is tried and decided by the Equity Court. The only opposition to the injunction was by Solomon S. Leff, attorney for Morris L. Schupack and Irving Meltzer, holders of the purchase money mortgage, which covers part of the property now held by Shore Gables. Mr.

Leff urged that the company was not insolvent, although it had sold only seven of the 1,200 lots it created by the laying out of streets and the construction of sidewalks, curbs, corner decorations and other beautifying equipment. The debts, he said, are only $230,000, while $208,000 was paid by Shore Gables for its property and $125,000 was spent for development, representing an investment of $330,000, There were sales of lots as late as last July, Leff said. Answering the Attorney General's contention that Shore Gables owes much money to creditors, Lawyer Leff said that the biggest part of the debt is due William Gleichman, chief stockholder, and that he has shown no intention to press for payment and has shown no disposition to force a foreclosure action of the second mortgage. The holders of the second mortgage, the court was told, had even refused interest money from Schupack and Meltzer, who sought to protect their own mortgage. Adam Alter, the president of Shore Gables, and Anthony de Ferrari, treasurer, who are also creditors, have declined to press for payment, being confident that the future is not hopeless for Shore Gables.

First Mortgage interest and taxes have been paid, Leff said; taxes are paid to: date and even last January's interest on the third mortgage, held by Schupack and Meltzer, paid. Only the July payment was not met, and he asserted that things are not in such a bad way as to justify the dissolution suit brought by the Attorney General.

EMILE BERLINER, INVENTOR OF DISC RECORD, IS DEAD Continued from Page 1. advancement, he returned to New York and worked for a time as a glue salesman, later going west and traveling up and down the Mississippi River doing odd jobs. In 1876, he came back to New York and happened to meet his old employer, He offered Berliner the managership of the retail department and Berliner went back to Washington.

That year Bell's telephone was exhibited at the Centennial celebration in Philadelphia. The idea of talking over a wire fascinated Berliner. In his travels he had picked up several books nphysics. He had had a childhood ambition to be an inventor. Bell's telephone, a crude contraption, utilized the magnetic current.

Berliner, fussing with speech transmission, felt that better results could be obtained by using battery current. Plodding along in a new field Berliner took a diaphragm and a contact pin screw. He found that by touching the diaphragm in the middle with the screw he could produce an undulatory wave-like electric current. Gets Clue on Current. Developing this theory, he put together a queer sort of telephone, but found he could not transmit speech.

One day he learned that more current passed through an ordinary telegraph key when the pressure exerted on the key was increased. With this in mind, he fashioned another telephone out of a soap box, a piece of sheet iron and a contact screw, adjusted extremely loose. He connected the contraption with the batteries, turned the current and heard a scraping sound as the diaphragm vibrated. He had discovered that a microphonic contact could be vibrated with an electric current and that such a transmitter would act as a receiver of sound as well. In 1878 Bell became interested in his invention and made him technical advisor in his com- pany.

Returns to Germany. In 1881 he went to Germany on a leave of absence and established the first telephone factory in that country. On his return to this country he married Miss Cora Adler of Washington. It was at the turn of the century that he developed the disc record for the talking machine. For inventing the gramophone Berliner was awarded the John Scott Medal and Elliott Cresson Gold Medal by -Franklin Institute, Philadelphia.

Much more demoralized than the cloak trade has ever been, the dress industry, employing mainly women, reveals more numerous violations of decent working conditions than any other garment trade, PresidentSchlesinger declared yesterday. They are spread over a greater area, he pointed out, and more difficult to control. The industry requires less skilled labor, which is always more difficult to unionize than the better type of worker. While existing agreements with manufacturers do not expire until December, the garment workers will pursue their campaign against the sweatshop immediately. The bulk of the industry is nonunion and it is against this section of the trade that the campaign will be started at.

Washington, Aug. 3 (P)-Democrats lost no time today attacking the propsal of Senator Smoot of Utah for a sliding scale for sugar tariff rates which was carried by the Utah Senator to Virginia for discussion with President Hoover at the President's fishing preserve in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, a member of the Finance Committee of which Smoot is chairman, described the proposal as "a fine scheme to fix and manipulate prices," and Senator Connally, of Texas, also a Democratic member of the committee, asserted the sliding scale was sure to cause a higher rate on sugar than at present.

Borah Dissatisfied, Considerable interest was manifested in Washington in the visit of Smoot to Mr. Hoover's mountain lodge, where it was regarded as certain the sugar schedule would form the principal topic for discussion. Smoot's committee will hold a hearing on the proposal next Wednesday, and committee action is expected to follow promptly. There are indications a number of prominent Republican Senators, including Senator Borah, of Idaho, also are not wholly satisfied that the Smoot plan will prove efficacious for meeting the President's wish to frame a sugar schedule which will benefit both producer and consumer. Whether the tariff bill will be ready for Senate attention on Aug.

19, the date set for that body to reconvene, is held to depend on progress made by the Finance Committee next week. Senator Harrison said in his announcement, issued by the Democratic National Committee, that little can be hoped for from the ference between Smoot and the President. A similar conference, he said, was held by the President with House leaders when the tariff bill waas before that body. Higher Prices Called Aim. "No one at that time heard of the President raising a protest against any part of the House program," Harrison said.

"It may be that it is the aroused force of public opinion that has caused this important conference in Virginia; or it may be that Senator Smoot wants to sell his sugar-coated plan to the President." Senator Connally said the obpective of Smoot was to increase the price of sugar, and he added the sliding scale would do this. "Its design is to fix the price," Connall asserted. "It also will fix the consumer. The rather sliding than scale will slide upward downward. When stripped of words and.

theories, sugar will cost more than it costs now. That is what Senator Smoot wants. Is that what President Hoover wants? Is the President's plan to the sumer'?" William S.
