Washington, Aug. SO.-
Tax uncertainties, a orofit lim
itation and competitive buying,
including that of the British,
were reported officially today
to have stopped "progress" on
the navy's procurement of ma
terials for shipbuilding
The report came from Rear
Admiral W. R. Furlong, who
made it to the senate appropria
tions committee durinc testi
mony on a $5,008,000 000 sup
plemental defensa hill which
the committee approved yester
day. In another sphere of defense
activity, the house military com
mittee, meanwhile, gave it ten
tative approval to the registra
tion for military servic of men
from 18 to 64, inclusive.
The committee has been
working on a draft bill while
the senate debated another vers
ion reported recently by its mil
itary committee. The sennte ver
sion calls for registration of men
from 21 through 30.
The admiral, chief of the
navy's bureau of ordinance was
quoted as saying that "I thought
possibly this committee would
be interested in knowing the
facts that the progress has stop
ped on the procurement of ma
terials that go into ships."
"The navy had no trouble
whatever," he continued, "until
business picked up and the
army, having increased appro
priations, began to buy guns
without the operation of the
Vinson-Trammell act (limiting
profits). This and the foreign
nations' and other government
departments' buying without
the operation of the Vinson
Trammell act has caused busi
ness from the navy to be un
attractive.
Asked whether companies
were diverting their capacities
to other purposes, Admiral Fur
long replied:
'They are being used for
other purposes. For instance,
there's a long list of requests
from the British purchasing
commission and naturally they
will go ahead and do the work
that will not bind them by prof
it limitationr."
His testimony led to talk In
the committee of using a "uni
versal tax" and other "force" to
compel manufacturers to accept
naval contract the record of
the hearings disclosed.

AGED DESTROYERS
(Continued from mi Cm.)
Warner Baxter opens for to
day and tomorrow only at the
Cool Rialto theatre opposite
Myrna Loy in Frank Capra's
"Broadway Bill," which plays
as the second feature in the
popular theatre's "Week of
Frank Capra Hits." Fashioned
in the mood and spirit that
makes Capra's films the screen's
greatest. "Broadway Bill" pre
sents Baxter as a life-loving no
mad, happier as a "devil may
care" than as the pampered son-
in-law of a small-town million
aire. Miss Loy brings all the
charm and whimsy reminiscent
of her popular "Thin Man"
roles. Others in the film include
the late Walter Connolly, Helen
Vinson, Lynne Overman, Alan
Hale (in the role that made him
a star), Douglas Dumbrille and
Raymond Walburn.
The film was written by Rob
ert Rlskin, based upon a story
by Mark Hellinger. Due to its
great length and popularity,
"Broadway Bill" is being single-billed.

Invasion Now Difficult
As for Britain, h Insisted,
"invasion becomes much more
difficult week by week."
His request for the American
destroyers was voiced in an ap
nea! "to our friends across the
ocean" to send the warships
which will "bridge the gap be

and the war flotillas of 1941
