Navy Program Causes
 Speculation, Accord ing to Witnesses

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-The question of whether the Admin istration's plans for construction of n new warships constitutes a new building program or replace ment program bobbed up contin- uously before the House Naval Committee hearing. Testimony of one witness opposed expansion of the Navy. Linley Gordon, Elk tension Secretary of the World Alliance for International Friend ship, asserted emphatically he had come to Washington to op. pose an increase in the Navy but that it was not until after he ar rived had he heard the program referred to as one for replace ment. Other witnesses said they had the same impression and did not oppose replacement.
