CRUISER BILL
Time CLAUSE
LIKELY WIN
Indicates De-
sires of Coolidge To
Be Ignored; May
Bring Veto OF Act

WASHINGTON, Feb. L. Q1 -
Friends of the naval construction
program confidently predicted today
after a careful survey OF the senate
that the clause specifying a start on
the Is cruisers before 1881 would be
retained Notwithstanding the appeal
Of President Coolidge for its elimi-
nation.
Senator Watson, Of Indiana, the
prospective republican leader sue
ceeding vice-president-elect Curtis,
has taken sides with Chairman Hale
Of the naval committee, in charge
Of the bill. With Senator Swanson,
Of Virginia, ranking democrat on
the naval committee. they have been
marshElling forces fer the final test.
The trio declared today they had
voted to keep the time clause in the
bill. There have been rumors reach
ing the capitol that the president
might veto the naval bill IL this time
clause were not eliminated, giving
him control over the cruiser pro-
gram.
Since the senate entered the
agreement earlier in the week 10
limit debate beginning Monday on
the bill, thereby assuring n final
vote early next week. the contest
has settled down mainly to cloak
room conferences looking to the
lineup Of the time clause contest.
Mr.. Coolidge lost on this issue in
the house and liz the bill goes through
the senate in its present form, the
house IL expected to accept the minor
amendments already voted by the
senate and send il directly to the
president without a conference.

jury.
The defense in removing her left
unexercised just half of its six
teen peremptory challenges. The
state still has three left.
