Navy Shipbuilding Program Authorized; Work To Be Divided Washington (U.R) The House Armed Services committee has approved a $1,144,883,000 Navy shipbuilding program and direct ed the Navy to spread the work among shipyards on all coasts. The committee in effect or dered the Navy to avoid "undue and dangerous concentration" of ship building work on the East Coast or in any other area. The Navy took the position that this dispersal policy already is being followed. Element of Defense A spokesman said the commit tee approved as its policy "that the dispersal of ship construction facilities in various coastal areas of the United States is an essen tial element of our national de fense." To this end, the commit tee agreed, construction work under the bill should be "dis tributed throughout the various coastal areas of the United States so as to encourage the dispersal of vital shipbuilding facilities and so as to prevent undue and dangerous concentration in any particular area or areas of the United States." Carrier Authorised The bill authorized construc tion of a second super aircraft carrier and a second atomic sub marine. All told, it authorizes constuction of 554 new ships and conversion of 10 others. Currently, 106 Navy ships are under construction in West Coast yards, compared to 119 on the East Coast. But the Navy told the committee that tonnage of the ships on West Coast ways totals only a little more than half that of the ships under con struction on the East Coast. Before approving the bill the committee put in an amendment to broaden an existing ban on lending, selling, or giving away Navy ships without consent of Congress. Heretofore, the ban applied to ships of the class of submarines and larger. The committee ap proved an amendment to this law to include "auxiliaries. The Navy said this, if it becomes law, will cover most all Navy ships.
