DEFENDS SLASH IN
NAVAL FUEL BILL
Officials Disagree With House
Member and See Steam
less Navy.

WASHINGTON. March 2 The
discussion of the amount of fuel the
navy will need for the rest of the
fiscal year, reached the floor Of the
house Thursday when Chairman
Madden, Of the appropriations COM
mittee, i'm opening debate on the
governments second deficiency bill
for the year declared in reference
10 the dispute over fuel oil that this
was the first issue in framing the
measure that naval experts had
failed TO raise the spectre of an inn
pend q war with Japan
Mr.. Madden AIDED that in cutting
the figure for fuel oil from around
SIP. 900. 600 to 100000. the COM
mittee had reached its conclusions
on a basis of $1.250,0OO a month,
which according to one of the best
men in the navy whose name / Will
not mention. will suffice"
officials of the navy department,
however disagreed Thursday night
with this estimate. asserting that
even if every ship in the navy, at
home or abroad. were brought to
anchor Immediately and kept idle
until July !, next, the fuel bill at the
end of the year would exceed the
limit the appropriations committee
has proposed by at least half mill
lion dollars.
It was made clear by department
officials that the general order di-
recting that all naval vessels except
those in the far east. the near east
and in Mexican and South American
waters. stop steaming where they
are and remain a. anchor or at dock
until the end Of the fiscal year, could
not be delayed many days without
greatly increasing the probable fuel
deficiency beyond the list proposed
by the house committee Ships that
Will be permitted 20 operate under
steam if the order is issued. will be
only those engaged on missions
abroad. 20 which they were sent at
the request OF the state department.
