est obstacle in the way of preparedness
think the greatest trouble we have
had, he said, in getting a proper and

For Continuing Program.
Members of the committee did not
question the Secretary Of the NAVY
as to the sufficiency OF the fve-year
program or what he hopes to achieve
by it. Some of them have indicated
however, that they do not regard ~
as adequate and naval officers have
testified that it will not change the
