HOUSE IMPERILS ROOSEVELT ‘BIG NAVY' PROGRAM Congressmen Oppose Move for Construction of 24 Warships. Bv Unit'd Prr* WASHINGTON, Apnl 16.—President Roosevelt's big Navy program was endangered today by congressional opposition to construction appropriations lor 24 new warships. The fight, it was learned, centers in the House Appropriations Committee which has the $470,000,000 Navy Department supply bill nearly completed. Presidential pressure may be necessary eventually to safeguard the new ship construction. A compromise providing for 12 instead of 24 ships was a possibility. The Navy’s plan called for an appropriation of $33,000,000 in the bill to permit laying down of one aircraft carrier, two light cruisers, 15 destroyers and six submarines. The total cost would be $197,427,000. Based on Two Points Opposition was understood to be based on two points: 1. Significant inventions in sea warfare, one being developed which might make new vessels undertaken at this time obsolete in three or four years. 2. Due to the European situation America should not lead in quickening the armament race. The bill, when reported, probably will carry $270,000,000 for Navy construction. Most of this direct appropriation will be necessary to continue work on 68 ships now under construction, due principally to public works grants. These include two aircraft carriers, three light cruisers and approximately 36 destroyers. Under the 24-new ship program, part of the Vinson "treaty-Navy” program, there still would remain 54 ships to be built to bring the Navy up to fulll treaty strength by 1940. During the next fiscal year 21 of the vessels now under construction are expected to be completed. Bill Still Huge One The regular construction called for in the bill was reported to include additional funds for development of the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii, as well as direct appropriations for improvements at Pacific Coast naval bases. The supply bill, regardless of whether the new ship program is deleted, will be one of the largest in history. Coupled with the $400.000,000 War Department bill, it means expenditure for national defense in the next fiscal year of nearly $900,000,000. House lead*- s plan to give the measure -dp’ ,-ofway as soon as the jeeur- bill is passed. The estimated No’ - . expenditures In the present fiscal year—exclusive of public works grants for construc-tion-amounts to $343,053,756. In the 1934 fiscal year the Navy cost was $274,383,386.
