MUCHA| T0NAVY
Volunteers Also, Says Ad-
miraI Rodman, But Training
Not Varied Enough.

Tribute to the efficiency in special
lines given to the naval establish
ment by reserve and volunteer Of
ficers was paid by Admiral Rodnan
today in testifying before the House
naval affairs committee.
He explained that the reserve Of
ficers have to be assigned to particu-
lar lines OF work because their tech
nical training was not varied as is
that of the Naval Academy graduates
and therefore they could not be shift
ed as readily from one post to an
other where special training was re-
quired
Admiral Rodmau told the committee
that he favored keeping large com
pIement on each warship because the
Navy must be prepared at any time
to expand to a war basis. For this
reason men would have to be kept II,
training at naval stations and that
the best possible training they could
get would be from actual service on

Supplemental Report Asked.

| In discussion OF estimates for ex-
penses during the next fiscal year
members of the committee asked the
| Secretary to submit supplemental
{ report showing all items of expense
| in estimates which had been increased
or reduced since the armistice.
Freedom to spend the thirty -six-mii-
lion dollar aviation appropriation as
he chose was asked for by the Secre-
tary. No one could foresee Develop
ments in flying, he said. and for that
reason expenditures could not be ac-
eurately determined long time
ahead.
Asked by Representative Kelly of
Michigan If he did not think 1t would
be advisable to reduce the nineteen
million-dollar request for lighter
than air craft, Secretary Daniels said
the department would make many eX-
periments in that neld during the
coming year, and that sufficient
money for that purpose should be
provided.
'The country has been very con-
servative in the past developing new
types" the Secretary said. ''This
policy should be changed. The war
has taught us the great value of air
craft and We cannot afford to allow
any country to take a greater lead in
it's development than it has at pres
ent"
Release of Enlisted Men.
Questioned in regard to the policy of
| the Navy Department in granting dis
charges to enlisted men. Secretary
Daniels said that this was one of his
most vexatious problems. Thousands
of applications for discharge are be-
| ing made, he said. and 1t Is impossible
| to release all.
1.-The department has decided TO give
| first consideration to men with de-
pendents." he added, "and those who
desire to return to school are con-
| sidered second. Captains have been
instructed to classify all their men
and all discharges will be granted ac-
| eording to these ciassifcations."
| Mr.. Daniels said the rate or new en-
iistments would determine to large
degree the rate by which enlisted men
may be released. During the last week,
he said, there have been about
hundred enlistments a day.

Enormous Increase in Cost.

War conditions have brought about
an enormous increase in the cost of
building warships, Rear Admiral Tay-
lor, chief of the bureau of construc-
tion and repair, told the. COMMITTEES
yesterday. He estimated that the
hulls and machinery of the ten bat
tleships and six battle cruisers au-
thorized in 1915 would cost nearly
$3.50, 600. 000 more than estimated-an in
crease OF almost SO per cent -
Admiral Taylor said he did not
think it was likely that the end of
hestilities would result in any speedy
reduction in costs.
Admiral Taylor said the cost of
constructing merchant ships has in
creased from SIS to s20o a ton, while
the cost of battleships has increased
less than SO per cent. This has been
accomplished, he said, by exercising
the grea ,est economy possible in the
government navy yards and by close
supervision in private yards which
are building batt1eships on thee cost
plus" basic.
Contracts for all ships authorized
in the 1916 program have been let, ex-
eept for two battleships. twelve tor
pedo boat destreyers, nine submarines
and Ave auxiliary vessels, the witness
said. OF all the vessels authorized in
1916 the battle cruisers will be COM
