The reprimand was given by Secre tary Adams after Butler had express ed regret in a letter to the navy board that his "indiscrete remarks have caused embarrassment to the govern ment." In reply, Adams told Butler that in view of his 'flbr expressing regret" and "your loJ^fccord of brilliant ser vice," the couWnartisl would be a bandoned. That ended the international inci dent growing out of a speech the Ma rine made recently in Philadelphia in which he was quoted as referring to Premier Mussolini, of Italy, as a hit and-ruh driver. Both Secretary Stimson, who had apologized to Italy for the United States, and the Italian embassy ex-, pressed satisfaction with this action, j Butler secluded himself from news- j paper men at the Quantioo, Va., Ma- I rine base, of which he is commandant, | and also declined to answer the tele phone. ? His counsel, Major General Leon ard, refused to discuss the Navy De partment action, explaining he was "tied down with a gentleman's agree ment" A J -A*i?Awnflr roTv?rfa fcKat. I V^ucsuuneu AVj/v* MJ President Hoover was responsible for calling off the court-martial, Leon ard told newspaper mien: "You can speculate as much as you want to a bout that." However, Waiter Newton, one of the President's secretaries, said so far as be knew, the President has nothing ? whatever to do with the action. In his letter to Butler,. Secretary Adams said his remarks received "the unqualified condemnation of the Navy Department," *d?Kag he hoped "this on your future conduct in matters of this character." Butler had explained he understood his speech at the Contemporary club in Philadelphia three weeks ago was confidential, "and that my statements were to be confined to the limits of the four walls." "I greatly regret this incident and the fact that my indiscrete remarks have caused embarrassment to the government," he added. The letter, which was brief, follows in full: "I "1. In connection witn uie uwiszuw of the department to try me by gen eral court-martial, it is requested that consideration be given to the matters hereinafter set forth; "2. 1 was told by the president of the Contemporary Club, before which I spoke on January 19, 1931, that I |j'- could speak my inside mind freely, and from his remarks, taken in their entirety, 1 understood that the club was conaqMsed of responsible members of the community interested in public questions and that my statements were to be confined to the limits of four walls.. , "3. This information is submitted on the assumption that it was not in the department's possession when it was decided to bring me to trial. "4. I very greatly regret this inci dent and the fact that my indiscreet remarks have caused embarrassment' ? to the government." In a tetter entitled "Reprimand," Secretary Adams replied: "1. The Navy Department is in re ceipt of . your letter of Feburary 8th* 1931 in "which you express regret for the character of the remarks made by you before t?e"iGontemporary Club of Philadelphia on January 19,'"1981, and in whfefc you invite "attention to the fact that prior to delivering your ex temporaneous talk at the dub, you bad hems assuredly the president of the eh& that you eotfid speak your 'mind fteely* and that from his re marks rtakea m their entirety* you understood that the club was com posed qf responsible members of the community, interested in public ques tions, and that your statements were to be eeMNbed to the Emits iof the four wfcBa.

January production of Chevrolet Motor Company was 70,766 cars and trucks, according to W. S. Knndsen, president Output schedules for Fer ruary, with three fewer days, call for 67,429 cars and trucks, exclusive of ' schedules in .the company's Canadian plants.. January's production compares with an output of 64,019 in December, th<? largest December month in the com pany's history. The month just ended is the third in succession to establish new high production marks over previous months since Chevrolet brought out its new line of cars in November^ when 45,000 cars -were made, setting a new output record for that month in any year. According to President Knudsen, output in February likely will exceed tentative schedules now set and each .month during the remainder of the year is expected to show an increase over the preceding one. Chevrolet factory employment as of Saturday, January 24, totalled 34, 447, an increase of more than 2,000 over the corresponding date in Decem ber and 8,000 more than when the company commenced production of its new cars in early November. During the current month employment is ex pected to reach 40,000, Chevrolet's normal operating force.

One recommendation is that all county administrative offic-. iais b# appointed by the county com missioners. , GovernoiV'Gardmer included "man datory consolidation of counties" in the 19 specific recommendations he made in his message to the General' Assembly on January 9, but did not list any counties. The data on which the Governor based "his recommenda tion is- contained in the report made public last night. Exactly 20 years ago the 1911 Gen eral Assembly increased the number of counties to 100 by. establishing Hoke and Avery and the sentimental appeal of that number helped to block all subSfcsuent^proposals for increas ing the "rfumber.
