KENT ISLAND LOSES
ON FIRST SKIRNISH
House Committee approves ApprO-

PRICE Is NOT DISCOURAGED
Congressman Says He Has Just Begun
To Fight to Beat War Depart
ment's Plan

The first round in the Congressional
fight over legislation paving the way
for the taking over of Kent Island for
an army proving ground went against
the islanders by the narro west possi-
BILE margin late yesterday. when the
House Committee on Appropriations,
in reporting out the $4.S0O,000 war
budget bill. refused by tie vote to
specifically exempt the island as a
site for the proposed gun and am
munition range in the Chesapeake
Bay The committee then unanimous
ly approved the $S,000OOO appropria-
ton recommended by the War De-
partment with which to buy and es-
tablish a new proving ground
The action of the committee was
taken after a sharp debate and by a
test vote of to 6. two members of
the committee declining 10 vote and
several being absent The test vote
was on a motion by Representative
Sisson, OF Mississippi. amending the
proving ground paragraph by provid-
ing that no part of the appropriation
shall be used to purchase Kent Island
Points To Bad Ammunition.
The fight was won for the War De-
partment's recommendation only after
strong appeal by Representative
Sherley, of Kentucky. ranking Demo-
cratic member of the committee He
brought over number Of the Repub-
lican members by laying stress on the
recent discovery OF defective ammuni-
tion sent Pershings men i'm France
He said that unless the army cfIicers
were given ample facilities for test
ing guns and ammunition. there would
be more instances of bad ammunition
sent abroad, and this might lead TO
the sacrifice of thousands Of American
boys in the trenches of France
He added that General Crozier and
other War Department officials will
not assume the responsibility for sup
plying the nations armed forces with
good ammunition unless they are
given a complete site and facilities for
testing guns and ammunition. adding
that Kent Island is the only site the
army officers can find which possesses
all the advantages necessary for maxi
ing these tests in the quickest possi-
BILE time. This argument had the ef-
feet of bringing to his support enough
Republican votes to prevent the de-
feat of the War Departments plans.

tion is a blanket one and does not
