Scalise, the 44-year-old International Inter-national president of the Building Service Employes International union, was freed on $40,000 bond, half supplied in cash half pledged by his union, a few hours after he had been seized, in white silk pajamas, by Dewey's detectives in a 59 hotel room at 3 a. m. Sunday. . . . . . A He protested he was' the object of political - persecution and his lawyer, John Kandel, - argued at the arraignment before Judge Ja cob Gould Schurman, Jr., that the arrest was a Dewey 'political plot. Murray I.

Stark, chief of : Naval Operations, and House Naval Affairs Chairman Carl Vinson Vin-son were strong for the increase, and everyone took- it for granted that Roosevelt was, too. In fact he had requested Vinson to Introduce Intro-duce the 25 per cent expansion bill at the opening of Congress. Further, when Vinson's committee commit-tee balked at this figure and cut It to 11 per cent, the President emphatically em-phatically declared, "I was for a 25 per cent increase and I still am.", ' - ' But that ' was several weeks ago.; At last week's conference much to the surprise of Stark and Vinson, Roosevelt sided with Senate Sen-ate Naval Affairs Chairman David I. Walsh for an 11 per cent naval Increase. Bewildered, Vinson asked ask-ed for an explanation, i Replying, the President said that he hadn't changed his mind on the necessity for a 25 per cent naval boost, but he had reached the opinion opin-ion that for psychological reasons It was unwise .to push for that amount this year. The country might become .earful that the Administration Ad-ministration was rushing preparations prepar-ations for war. Also, so great an increase concentrated too ; much money on national defense to the detriment of domestic needs. t Roosevelt also said he agreed with Senator Walsh's argument that there were not enough shipbuilding ship-building facUities to handle a 25 per cent increase during a four-year four-year period.
