Municipal Plant
TACOMA, Jan. &-(JP)-The
Bonneville power authority's de
sire to tie one of the Pacific
northwest's biggest municipal
power systems in on an inter
change basis moved forward to
night as city officials requested
Dr. Paul J. Raver, Bonneville ad
ministrator, to draw up a 10
year contract "to giro us a con
crete basis for further negotia
tions." -
The request came after a two
and one-half hour-conference be
tween Dr. Rarer and his staff and
city eouncilmea. Dr. Raver agreed
to submit, the proposed contract
to Tacoma officials by next Satur
day, v " .. - . r'
The Bonneville administrator
and Sol E. Schultx, chief engineer,
explained Bonneville's aims in re
sponse to questions asked by city
executives. Despite earlier at
tacks on the Bonneville authority
by council members, the confer
ence was free of controversy.
"Bonneville's interest in an in
terchange power with Tacoma.
Seattle and other systems of the
Pacific northwest is to assure
availability of power over a wide
area at a minimum of cost to the
consumer to encourage hew In
dustries in the region," Dr. Raver
said. "There is no competitive
angle.",
The agreement will provide
that the Tacoma and Bonneville
systems can borrow from each
other If the occasion arises. - The
cost for excess power will be 2.5

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.
Stark told the committee he
