SCORE DELAY
IN CRUISER
BUILDING
viii Ask Congress to Go Limit
Of Treaty in Destroyer and
Subma arine Construction

A new naval construction pro
gram. providing actual American
parity with Great Britain in all
ship categories. was contemplated
today by the "big navy" bloc in
Congress, as a result Of the Ad-
ministration's drastic reorganiza-
ton Of the American fleet.
The decommissioning of Is de-
stroyers, two light mine-layers and
IS submarines, it was argued, has
reduced the strength Of the Ameri-
can Navy far below that of Great
Britain's fleet.
The "big navy" men would build
the American Navy UP to the Lon
don treaty limits in these three
categories and likewise force the
Administration to carry out the
already authorized programs for
cruiser construction.
Cruiser Program Held Up
The cruiser program has been
held up for nearly two years, while
the Administration first arranged
and then participated in the Lon
don parley. AS a result Of hat
treaty. the United States was
limited to building 18 cruisers. in
stead Of the % authorized by
Congress. OF those allowed by the
treaty, the Salt Lake City and the
Pensacola have been built and
launched.
The Salt Lake City and the
Pensacola were two of eight new
cruisers authorized by Congress
nearly three years ago. OF Is new
cruisers authorized in the last con-
struction bill, none has been com
pleted. It was this group which
the treay reduced to 10. -.
AS the new cruisers have all
been authorized, no legislative
action will be required, unless the
'big Navy" men seek to force
their construct on by passage OF a
resolution directing the President
to carry out the program, within
the limits of the naval treaty. The
delay, though, will give Admins
tration foes plenty of material for
political debates in House and Sen
ate. @
Jobs for Unemployed
Spokesman for those sections Of
the nation benefiting from ship
building activities undoubtedly
will dem: I'D prompt action on the
construction program. One power
full argument would be that the
program would tend to relieve ur1-
employment in the coast States
and in the sections where iron,
steel and other equipment is manu-
factured. Senator Copeland CD
of New York also argued that the
Government was setting. a bad ex-
ample to industry by discharging
4,800 men in the midst Of depres-
sion.
The "big Navy" men will have
a different argument concerning
the smaller categories Of war
ships. Their SpokeSmen will de-
mand the construction Of new,
modern submarines to supplant
the IS decommiSsioned as a mat
ter Of national safety. Many
naval experts believe submarines
will play the most important role
in the next war, particularly in a
defensive war by the United
States.
To all of these indications, the
Administration remains silent.
The Navy Department, ignoring
cenSure, is going steadily ahead
with its program.

Frederick is probably most
widely known as the home OF
Barbata Fritchie, the aged hero.

Civil War poem and Of Francis
Scott Key, author of the national

The remains Of both are in
Mount Olivet Cemetery, marked

Five miles west of the city is
Braddock Heights, summer re-
sort 1900 feet above sea level.
Take Route No. 40
Upon leaving Frederick for
Washington, owing to temporary
road conditions, the car owner
will find it advisable to proceed
over U. S. No. 40 to Mount Airy,
and thence over State Route No.
20 to Rockville. An alternative
route from Frederick is over State
Route No. 28 into Rockville. From
the latter point the high road is
over U. s. No. 40 to Washington,
entering the city through Bethes-
da and Wisconsin Avenue.

OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug. g.
Tourists and visitors spend on
the average of $4,000, 900 annu-
ally in the DelMar-Va area, &C.
cording to estimates Of the Del
Mar-Va Association.
One of the main reasons for
the constant travel through this
section Is the network of paved
roads that connect the various
townships and communities.
There is more than one mile of
improved highway to every four
square miles Of territory In the
section. The system of roads pro-
vides almost 200 miles Of straight
highway from wilmington, Del.
to Cape Charles, Va.
In no other section of the
United States are there to be
found better roads than in this
section which is composed of
three Delaware counties, nine
