TO INCREASE FACILITIES
FOR BUILDING CRUISERS
Secretary Daniels to Explain His
Plans for Equipment Of Ad-
ditional Navy Yards.

Secretary Daniels will explain his
plans for the equipment Of additional
navy yards for construction Of battle
cruisers to the House naval committee
next Monday. He has asked for an ad-
ditional $12.00O.000 to be Immediately
available for yard equipment. and 1t Is
understood the department plans to
build two ships each at the best avail
able yards-probably Philadelphia and
Norfolk-where the four ships would
be laid down.
The Secretary will be followed by
representatives of the various ship
building companies with which the de-
partment has been unable to reach an
agreement, either as to the cost Of the
vessels. II privately built, or the time to
be occupied in their construction.
Mr.. Daniels also probably will ex-
plain fully his recommendation for the
enactment of drastic legislation which
would furnish means by which delay
in naval construction in private plants
could be overcome. The language he
has suggested would authorize the de-
partment to take over any contractors g
plant and press the work to a conclu-
sion. if there was delay.
1ntimations have reached the COM
mittee that much of the private COM
mercial building in American ship
yards is on foreign orders, and, It ia
expected. that phase Of the subject will
be looked into.
