HOUSE VOTE ON BIG NAVY RILL TO BE FORGED Patriotism of Member Is Attacked by Backers of Measure. by Scripps-Hotcard yesespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. The house will vote Wednesday under special procedure approved by the rules committee on the $30,000,000 battleftiip modernization bill. A vote will be forced on the senate measure after an hour's debate. If a majority of the house sustains the special rule, the bill will be continuously before the house thereafter until finally disposed of. On the bill itself, debate will be limited to five-minutes for each member. Leader Attacked Despite this application of the gag-rule, opponents of the measure ; are preparing for a vigorous fight. New fuel has been added to the imitation fight by a broadside from the Navy League of the United | States, a nonofficial large navy organization, assailing the patriotism j of Congress Burton L. French (Rep., i Idaho), who is leading the legislaj live campaign for immediate economies in naval expenditures. French is chairman of the house committee on naval appropriations. In that position he has attempted to preserve what he believes is the spirit of the London navy limitation treaty by holding new building to a minimum. The navy league is advocating, on the other hand, $74,000,000 in construction authorization for new cruisers, destroyers and submarines, and $30,000,000 for modernization of three pre-war battleships. Senate Threatens Prole

In Its latest attack on Congress- ; man French, the Navy League chari acterizes him as “an ardent advocate of the cause of the British royal navy rather than that of the country in whose congress he sits.” This direct assault upon the patriotism of a member of the house has aroused indignation among members of the senate naval committee, which now has before it the $350,000,000 naval appropriation bill for 1932. Two members of the senate committee, already have launched informal inquiries to determine whether any officers on active duty in the navy department are advising or assisting the Navy League. They say the matter will be aired on the floor of the senate when the naval appropriation bill is called up.
