REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Senator Tydings renewed his re quest to the Navy Department to have the U. S.

The studiously rctrai.ied, factual style with which the Navy League phrased its statements in the past was aban doned as William Howard Gavdiner, president of the organization, turned the attack directly on President Hoover, accusing him of "abysmal ig norance" about naval matters and de claring that his policy is subordinat ing the United States Navy to those of foreign powers.
