PROJECT|LE PLANT
Secretary Daniels Also Urges
Building of Six or More De-
stroyerS.

Congress ought TO appropriate $50. O0I
for a Federal projectile plant, Secretary
Of Navy Daniels recommended to the
House Naval Committee today. He eH-
pressed belief that only by Government
ownership of such a plant would it be
possible to avoid payment of exorbitant
prices Thus far, he explained, the
Government has been unable to main
tain competitive bidding
He suggested that American manufaC-
turers are loaded up with orders for
shells from foreign countries Pro-
jectilcs now cost $500 apiece. The
proper figure is about $3.50 apiece, he
suggested.
Recommendation for six or more new
destroyers is made. The provision ''or
more" was made in order that the de-
partment might have the advantage of
additional vessels If the contract figures
ran low enough.
The Secretary took up in detail the
working of the new system or treating
navy deserters. Probation. he explained,
Is given to men who overstav leave.
while dishonorable discharge Is melted

prisons have bee naboIished, and the

tenn is to be abandoned
