BORAH RESUMES
FIGHT To- DISARM
Friends of Naval Holiday Plan
To Get Resolution
Up Again.

Unabashed by the adverse repor'
of the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee, advocates Of the Borah reso-
luton for a six months cessation OF
naval construction yesterday deter
mined to make a fight on the floor
for the reconsideration of the pro-
posal.
Senator King, of utah. a member
of the Naval Committee. said he was
preparing a minority report which
would state that the committee had
not accorded the subject proper
consideration" before submitting its
report. Another Senator was more
vehement in his criticism OF the
action taken. He accused the COM
mittee of deliberately sitting testi-
mony supporting the resolution.
Borab DispIeased.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, author Of
the measure, made no attempt tc
conceal his disapproval of the com
mittee's report which said there wa:
no reason to believe the battleshiI
has been rendered obsolete by the
development of submarines and air
craft as has been claimed.
He gave notice that he intends a
the first opportunity to reply to thu
report at length" on the floor.
The assertion was made by
! friends of the Borah plan that the
committee give the subject only q
cursory scrutiny before making it;
report, and that naval experts who
were ready to testify in its behalf
were not even called, although theiT
names were furnished to the COM
mittee.
witnesses Called.
Senator Poindexter, the ranking
member of the committee and au-
thor OF the report, defended the
| committees course and denied the
statement that a fair hearing was
not given both sides. He said:
Every available witness was
called. Admiral Sims and Admiral
Fiske testified. They were the mos
| important among those whose
tee as approving the plan. Their
views were not divergent with the
conclusions reached in the report
1t is likely, Senator Borah said
that the move for the reconsidera-
ton of his resolution will be in

tions bill is laid before the Senate

Tuesday. yesterday declared his coal
was cut of before suit was filed

Court, contrary to a statement OF
Howard c. Beck, auditor Of the
Standard Coal Company.
Ritter alleges his supply was cut
OF about May l last year and the
suit was not fled in the District
court until about the middle Of the
month. He says bond was fur,
nished the court at the time the
suit was fled sufficient to cover the
amount OF damages asked.
This suit and a suit filed by Ritter
against the Standard Coal Company
at the same time are pending. II
the latter suit Ritter charges the
company with violation OF the Sher,
man antitrust law.
