Then, said the officers, the sub marine fired two shots from a deck gun described as a three or four-incher; the Highland Patriot, ng-zagglng ahead of the attacker, responded with fire from a six inch gun mounted astern as "de fensive armament."

Fleet Expansion Is Asked by Navy Details of Program Held Secret, but Huge Plan Support Is Sought WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-(j-p)- The navy s high command asked congress today to approve a new 91,300,000,000 fleet expansion program to meet the "threat of world conflagration," but was an usually secretive concerning de tails. Secretary Edison and Admiral Harold G. Stark, chief of naval operations, urged approval of the huge increase at the opening of public hearings before the house naval committee, asserting that the gravity of International conditions necessitated it. "The situation is rife with pos sibilities of a general European war," Stark declared, "and, in conjunction with the far eastern conditions, presents a threat of world conflagration." While details of the papgram were not divulged. Stark created the impression among committee members that the navy had de cided upon larger ships in certain categories, possibly in the cruiser class, when he disclosed that the program now calls for 77 new combatant ships and 39 auxiliary vessels, in addition to 2395 air planes- and 3 lighter-than-air craft. When Chairman Vinson (D- Ga) announced last November that a new expansion program was contemplated, he said that it called for 95 warships and 31 auxiliaries, or 19 more ships than Stark's total. The admiral made it plain that no battleships were involved in either the old or new plans, spik ing the possibility that the navy had decided to go in for super- battleships of 65,000 tons each, or bigger.
