PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1939. Y 10 ROOM FDRM0RE Would Clear Way for Over Billion Dollar Program Waiting Next Congress Washington, Nov. 7. OP) Swift acceleration of current naval shipbuilding is projected, well-informed legislators said today, to clear the way for the additional $1,300,000,000 expan sion of the fleet to be submitted to congress In January. Shortly after Chairman Vin son (D., Ga.) of the house naval committee disclosed adminlstra tion plans to ask congress to authorize 03 new warships and almost 2,400 more airplanes, an other house member said today the navy already had decided to boost its next regular appropria tion estimated by $400,000,000. Biggtit Peace Funding This would give the navy bout $1,300,000,000 for the year starting July 1, 1940 by far its biggest peacetime appro printion. The Increase was decided on, the legislator said, after the original estimates calling for about $000,000,000 were given to the house naval appropria tions subcommittee, which had planned to start hearings within the next few days. Chairman Scrughm (D., Nev.) of the subcommittee dis closed the hearings had been postponed at least until Novem ber 22, but said he did not know the amount which .the navy planned to request. Some congressmen expressed belief a substantial part of the proposed $400,000,000 Ill crease in the navy's regular ap propriation would be devoted to expanding shipbuilding and armament facilities at navy yards, besides assisting private shipping to gear their plants for bigger loads. Vinson said that the new ex pansion program called for con truction of three aircraft car riers, eight cruisers, 82 destroy ers and 32 submarines In addi tion to 2,303 more airplanes, 36 llghter-than-alr ships, "the ma jor portion of which will prob ably be blimps," and 31 auxil iary vessels.
