tion of growers of fruits and vegetanles

termined opposition to any exposure OF
the industry to ruinous competition.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-A resolution
was introduced in the house today by
Lilley, of Connecticut, providing for
the appointment by the speaker of a
special committee of seven mem bers to
investigate the conduct of the Electric
Boat company, of New Jersey, and its
predecessor, the Holland Boat COM

past and proposed legislation Of ccn-
gress.
The proposal of congressional in
vestigation is an outgrowth OF the fail

construction program. The president
backed the Navy department
in its request for the authorization Of
the four battleships, ten destroyers,
four submarines, etc. The, committee
cut the battleships to two and raised
the submarines to eight, and in connec-
