ments and contract plans are practi-
cally completed. The characteristics Tor
the design of the first airplane carrier
included in the program have been
settled and contract plans are under
way and preliminary studies have been
made of destroyer leaers and sub
marines, with a view to deciding on the
characteristics of these vessels.
Serious Problem Outlined.
Admiral Beuret also calls attention to
a very serious problem which would face
the Navy in the event of war, notably
the falling off in the number of people
available for naval construction work.
and he urges an increase in the number
of officers assigned each year from among
the graduates of the Navay Academy for
postgraduate work preparatory to their
entrance into the construction corps.
The number of men in civil life trained
as naval architects is limited due TO
the relatively small amount of ship
building under way. and experience has
shown that the demand for men In
this profession increases greatly on the
approach of war, due to the increase in
merchant shipbuilding. At the time OF
the the World War, he adds, very few
men of this training could be called
from civil life without risk of interfer-
ing with important merchant ship
building under way, and the situation
would be even less favorable now than
at that time.
In this connection he points out that
earlier in the year the craftsmen at the
Washington Navy Yard employed on
war-plan work were transferred to the
bureau and organized as q unit of the

in excess of the quantity that can be

the annual report of Rear Admiral j
D. Beuret. chief constructor, Navy De-
partment, made public yesterday. He says
that the S-4 has been fitted out fol
experiments designed to provide ways
of correcting the problems which prov
ed difficult in the rescue and salvage
operations following the disaster.
The vessel is scheduled to leave the
Portsmouth, N. H. Navy Yard today
and to arrive off New London, Conn,
tomorrow, where the experiments will
be conducted. In his report, Admiral
Beuret says that the main engines
have been removed and the apparatus
left on board has been concentrated
in two main compartments, SO that
three of the main compartments, may
be flooded at will to simulate conditions
on a damaged submarine.
The vessel is fitted with flooding
arrangements both for the main ballast
tanks and for the main compartments
which have been prepared for flooding,
also with air-eXpulSion apparatus ana
ballast pumps operated from the stor-
age battery, so that it may be sunk
and raised as required III connection

design section, which has materially
facilitated their work.
A complete revision and conSollda-
ton of the general specifications for
use in the conversion of merchant
vessels to naval auxiliaries has been
completed and plans have been pre-
pared for conversion of several types
of vessels. The work previously under
taken has been concerned mainly with
the plans and specifications necessary
for the conversion of merchant vessels
actually in service, although some plans
of new vessels were examined. Since
the passage of the merchant marine
act of May %, 1923, the number OF
plans of new vessels submitted for eX-
animation and comment has materially
increased.
The high cost of trying to maintain
an old Navy in the prime of condition is
indicated by the chief constructor, who
says that the amount OF money eX-
pended for the repair of vessels has in
crease don an average of $4,000 year
for the last five years, and, so far as
this can be determined, the increase In
the amount of repair work required Is
cue to the gradual increase in the
average age of the vessels in the fleet.

sufficient reserve of stability to per-

In many of the leading cities,
postal receipts for November. 1928,
showed an increase over the re
