.15-CRU|SER PLEA
MADE BY ADMIRAL
Hughes Tells Committee OF
Minimum Naval Strength
Needed by U. S.

by tne AsepG1dteO EIrsss
A minimum Of Is cruisers represents
the absolute need Of the Navy TO pro-
tect American commerce in time OF war,
in the opinion of Admiral Charles F.
Hughes. chief of naval operations. He
declared today before the House naval
committee that this number OF cruisers
should always be on hand in the event
of an emergency.
The admiral said that the total mini
mum requirement in cruiser strength
was 43. of which % would be required
for work with the feet and other as
signments He added that If Is cruisers
were not available II would be prac-
tically impossible for the Navy TO afford
adequate protection TO Americas far
flung trade routes.
Airplane Carrier Urged.
Representative McClintic. Democrat.
Oklahoma, insisted that the Navy should
have additional airplane carriers and
questioned Hughes closely as TO his
views regarding this type of fighting
ship as compared with cruisers. The
admiral did not discount the value Of
the aircraft carrier. but said that his
recommendations for a total OF 10
cruisers represented. in his opinion,
the minimum need of the Navy.
McClintic argued that before Congress
approved either In part or in whole the
administrations s740. 900 COO warship
construction program careful stuiy
should be given 10 whether more air
craft carriers would be needed. The
program calls for IS cruisers. 5 aircraft
carriers. Q destroyer leaders and 81 SUBJ
marines
We don't want 20 build feet that
viii have 10 hide IN the York River IN
time Of war" he said.
Hughes Declines Comment.
Representative Britten. Republican.
Illinois, asked Admiral Hughes If he
did not think the committee last week
had acted with wisdom in deciding
that any building program must have
definite completion date and tina;
construction OF any new var craft
could not be suspended by the PreS;-
dent
The committee is : better Jude Of
that than am" replied Hughes
The committee. after an extended dis
cuSS,on OF whether the WASHINGTON
arms treaty placed any limitation upon
the construction OF airplsne carriers OF
10000 tons or less displacement. asked
Admiral Hughes 10 obtain a ruling or

ment.
