(P) A congressional sub-committee Is exploring the advisability of giving the navy 65,000-ton bat tleships, vastly bigger and more powerful than any now afloat or known to be in prospect abroad. The house naval appropria tions subcommittee has asked the navy department to prepare estimates on the cost of such ships almost double the size of the fleet's biggest. Coincidentally, Rep. Maas (R Minn.) senior minority member of the house naval committee, recommended battleships up to 80,000 tons in size. He asserted they would be cheaper in the long run and would make this country "absolutely invulner able." No Decision Yet Chairman Scrugham (D-Nev.) conceding his. appropriations subcommittee had requested the cost data on bigger ships, empha sized today that the question of their construction was decided in the exploratory stage and that no decisions had been reached, At present, 35,000-ton battle ships form what naval leaders call the "backbone" of the fleet. Congress voted funds this year to start work on two 45,000-ton battleships after hearing testi mony Japan already was at work on at least one of approxi mately that size. Officials said however, the 45,000-tonners still are in the planning stage. Heretofore, the width of the Panama Canal has been the controlling factor in the size of this country's warships, but Rep. Plumley (R-Vt.), a member of Scrugham's subcommittee, de clared the proposed new set of locks for the canal, to cost $277 000.000, would accommodate much larger ships. Maas declared that if this country built super-battleships, no other nation could afford to follow suit. Radio Highlights By Associated Preti (Time is Pacific Standard) New York, Dec. 22.
