By H. R. Ingraham.
Washington, Dec. 28. (Pi-
Congress will be asked to ap
prove another record-breaking
fund for national defense at the
coming session, and indications
today are that it will accede
without much of a fight.
Congressmen with military
Ideas of their own, however,
may provoke greater contro
versy than the outlay of more
than $2,000,000,000 which Presi
dent Roosevelt has said he
would recommend to finance
the army and navy for the year
starting July 1.
Navy Main Iiiut.
Before the new session It a
week old, two house committees
will study proposals designed
to make the navy the mightiest
armada the world has ever seen.
Both are likely to provide for
ums for proponents of super
battleships, possibly twice as
big as any now afloat.
Chairman Vinson (D.-G.) set
January 8 tentatively for the
house naval committee to be
gin public hearings on a pro
posed $1,300,000,000 expansion
of the navy. This would pro
vide for 95 new warships, 31
auxiliary vessels and 2.3R5 addi
tional airplanes.
Rep. Maas (R.-Mlnn.), senior
minority member of the com
mittee, said he would urge at
the hearing the establishment of

has asked the navy to furnish
data on the cost of building
69,000-ton battleships.
Although Mr. Roosevelt was
reported authoritatively to have
slashed about $700,000,000 from
the estimates of both the army
and navy, there were indica
tions that the total would be
at least $300,000,000 and pos
sibly $500,000,000 above the
current year's peacetime record
of about $1,800,000,000. .Never

An indication of the congres
sional attitude came from mem
bers of a house appropriations
sub-committee, who said that
with minor exceptions they re
cently had approved Mr. Roose

stepped up the Justice depart

Defense measures will not
have entirely plain sailing, how
ever, for some members in both
senate and house have served
notice that they would fight
proposals to expand the armed
services if It meant reductions
in relief funds or other bene
fits for the needy.
Republican leaders also have
made it plain that they do not
intend to support lump-sum
spending in the guise of defense.

PIERCE PREDICTS
BITTER FIGHT ON
Oregon Congressman Hopes
For Adjustments on West
ern Products Competition
Washington, Dec. 28. OP)
Rep. Walter M. Pierce, the lone
Democrat' in Oregon's congres
sional delegation, predicted a
bitter fight today on the ad
ministration's reciprocal trade
agreement program.
The congressman, discussing
the approaching congressional
session, expressed the hope the
budget bureau would not cut
reclamation and irrigation
funds.
Adjustmenti Needed
"I am very anxious that some
adjustment be made of the
trade agreements as far as ap
ples, pears, lumber, livestock,
poultry and other of our pro
ducts are concerned," he said.
"We in Oregon feel we are be
ing hurt, shipments of fruit
from South American countries
which formerly were sent to
Great Britain are now en route
to New York and we feel they
will hurt our fruit industry.
"Thpre is much agitation in
my state against the lumber sec
tions of the Canadian agree
ment. Canadian money has de
preciated and this accentuates
tile situation because importers
can take advantage of it in buy
ing Canadian lumber."
The former Oregon governor
said he could see no reason for
slicing reclamation project ap
propriations. "The money for these projects
does not come out of the gen
eral funds but from a special
fund created for the reclama
tion bureau," he explained.
Pierce said Oregon farmers
were anxious that the govern
ment continue the farm pro
gram and allot again this year
$500,000,000 for soil conservation.
