CRUISER BUILDING
AGAIN UP IN HOUSE
Navy Program in Pending Ap-
preparation Bill Submitted
on Senate Amendment

The House is again called upon to
program for the Navy in the pending
appropriation bill. The conferees on
the bill yesterday reported a disa-
greement on the Senate amendment
providing for beginning construction
OF three new scout cruisers, author
lied in 1924. Promptly and without
a record vote the Senate stood pat in
favor of its amendment. The matter
is expected to come up in the House
today or tomorrow.
Opposed by President.
President Coolidge, because of his
efforts to bring about a further agree
ment at Geneva on naval limitation.
has opposed the appropriation for the
three cruisers. The House by a mar
row margin backed him in his posi-
ton, when the bill went through that
body. The refusals of France and
Italy to participate in a f1ve-power
agreement at Geneva, however. have
strengthened the hands of the navy
party in the House, it is said.
Items in Bill Approved.
Other important matters in the
Navy bill were agreed to in confer
ence. Compromises were reached
both in regard to the personnel of
the Navy and the increased air pro
gram. The Senate increased the per.
sonnet from 1880 to $4,000. In con-
ference this was cut. to 83,250. The
Senate increase for airplanes was
compromised also.
