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.

PASSIVE RESISTANCE
Bombay, India, Nov. 7. (IP)
Mohandas K. Gandhi said today
his followers had started passive
resistance in India's constitution
al crisis with the resignation of
five provincial governments
dominated by the congress (na
tionalist party.
The Indian leader asserted,
however, when en route fro'n
Delhi to Wardha last night that
"I will resist civil disobedience
(active resistance) unless I find
the country prepared for that."
Acceptance of the resignation
of the congress ministry of
Orissa was announced today.
The congress party Is protesting
Brltalns' refusal to consider con
stitutional refoiTiis for India
until after the end of the Euro
pean war.
Previous to Gandhi's action,
the British viceroy, Lord Llntih
gow expressed "disappointment"
over the necessity of Invoking
"emergency measures" in many
Indian provinces and undertook
now efforts to bring together the
country's rival factions.

effort to dislodge some of the
local Republican office holders.
Prohibition Issue
Prohibition was an issue In
Indiana, where towns of less
than 3000 population were elect
ing town officials.
One of the few contests bear
ing even remotely on President
Roosevelt's policies was in Ken
tucky, where Gov. Keen John
son, Democrat, who succeeded
Gov. A. B. Chandler when the
latter resigned to be appointed
to the senate, sought election to
the office he now holds. His Re
publican opponent, Circuit
Judge King Swope, criticized the
national administration In his
campaign.
The only other gubernatorial
election was In Mississippi where
Paul B. Johnson, Democrat, was
unopposed.
National affairs were men
tioned also in Philadelphia's
mayoral race. Robert C. White,
Democrat, was opposed by Rob
ert C. Lamberton, Republican,
who argued a Democratic victory
would diminish the national
prestige of the Republican party.
CIO Detroit Issue
Detroit's mayoral contest In
volved disputed claims of labor
support. Edward Jeffries, Jr.,
president of the city council,
sought to defeat Mayor Richard
Reading, who was elected two
years ago over the opposition of
the CIO. Reading charged that
Jeffries favored tho "radical ele
ment," while the latter's friends
said that such CIO support as
Jeffries received was due to the
fact that the organization was
more opposed to Reading.
The non-partisan race for
mayor in Cleveland lay between
Mayor Harold H. Burton and
John E. O'Donnell.
San Francisco voters had eluhl
candidates from whom to choose
a mayor. Angelo J. Rossi, the
incumoem, sought a third four
year term; his principal oddo-
nent was Franck R. Havenner,
uemocrauc representative in
congress.
