DOUBLE SHIFT DUE
FOR SHIP TESTING
Work on Carderock Basin Is
Rushed as Schedule
Piles Up.

Establishment of double shift IN
testing models Of proposed new naval
and merchant marine vessels may be-
come necessary at the Washington
Navy Yard in the near future, 1t was
revealed today as plans were expedited
for completion of the new testing
basin at Carderock. Md.
The Navy Yard testing basin, con-
structed in 1900. is regarded as in
adequate to handle tests of the models
of all the new vessels proposed for
the Navy, particularly if there is much
increase in merchant marine con-
struction. Scale models Of all these
vessels are subjected to rigorous tow
ing tests before construction is under
taken
The Navy Yard basin was operated
on double shift basis for short time
in 1926 as result of accelerated mer-
chant marine construction. Since that
time 1t has been on single shift
basis. with the amount of work con-
tinuously increasing during recent
months. No definite plans have been
made. however, for doubling the pres
ent force.
The Navy is rushing work on the
Carderock Basin. the worlds most
modern model testing plant, and off,
cials said they expect the new plant to
be ready next May l. two months
ahead Of original plans. Revising
cost estimates upward to $3,500,000,
President Roosevelt has asked Con-
gress for an additional s50o,oO0 ap-
preparation for the project.
The Navy is reticent about current
operations, but it is understood that
models of 45,000-ton battleships-
which are possible under the 1O-year
program bill signed by President
Roosevelt Tuesday-are being tested
in the Navy Yard basin. The present
limit is $4,000 tons. As many as 30
hull variations are tested before final
designs are accepted for battleship,
officials said.
Work on the Carderock plant was
started last August. 1t is more than
quarter mile long and has four
basins, one 81 feet wide and 1000
feet long to test speeds. But naval
scientists contend that even 1000 feet
is too short for the most exact testing,
so provision has been made to lengthen
one basin eventually to $500 feet.

D. c, SLUM PLAN
GETS APPROVAL
Of HOUSE GROUP
Measure to Pave Way for
Work Here Is Placed
on Calendar.
CONSIDERATION SEEN
EARLY NEXT WEEK
Minor Changes Made in Bill
One Requires Interest Be
Paid at Federal Rate.

A bill changing the Alley Dwelling
Authority law to pave the way for
comprehensive program of slum clear
ance and low-rent housing develop
ment here moved another step on its
legislative journey today when it was
placed on the House calendar by the
Judiciary Subcommittee of the House
District Committee.
Acting on authority granted it by
the full District Committee, the sub
committee reported the measure ia
vorably and sent it directly to the
House after adopting series OF minor
amendments. One of the changes will
require the Alley Dwelling Authority
to paw interest "at the Federal rate"
for loans from the Government for
slum clearance projects. The sub
committee, however, failed to approve
a proposal by Representative Nichols,
Democrat. of Oklahoma that the Dis
trict. instead of the Federal Govern
ment. be required to loan the A. D. A.
$l,000,00O a year for five years.
A brief hearing preceded the sub
committees action. Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen. who is chairman of
the A. D. A., said the Board of Com
missioners approves the bill.
Consideration Monday Seen.
George A. Corbin, president of the
Manor Park Citizens Association,
urged an amendment to prevent the
location of low-cost housing projects
in the area north of Columbia road
NV. and Michigan avenue NE.
House consideration of the bill Is
expected either Monday or Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Nichols said his only objection
to the bill is that it proposes to tap
Federal funds for the S1,000.000 loan.
whereas other cities do not have that
privilege In fact, he predicted the
House would not approve the measure,
unless it Is changed to force the Dis
trict to provide the loan from its own
funds.
The bill has three principal OBJ
jectives:
Ito clear the way for acceptance
by the Alley Dwelling Authority of the
offer Of Administrator Nathan Straus
of the United States Housing Authority
to lend from $l0,OO0,00O to SIS 100000
for subsidized low rent housing on
terms similar to projects elsewhere.
Self-Liquidating Rentals.
ITO authorize the Treasury to lend
the A. D. A. not to exceed ST 100000
q year for five years to enable that
agency to carry forward its own slum
reclamation and low-rent housing de-
velopments for which -liquidating
rentals would be fixed
3-To enable the A. D. A. to acquire
land to erect low-rent dwellings for
families substantially equal in number
to those dwellings it demolishes in
squares not adapted to low-rent hous-
ing.

few were up more. but minor declines
were plentiful at the close.
Dealings dragged in comparison
with the speedy performance of last
week. At that, periods Of activity
generally found leaders pushing up

shares.
Sentiment was chilled q bit by
action of Santa Fe directors in again
deferring consideration of interest on
the company's 4 per cent adjustment
bonds and omitting the semi-annual
dividend on the common due at this
time. Both the common and prefer
red issues took a downward course
after holding fairly well for a time
after the directors had voted. The
bonds in question were resistant.
1t was understood the Santa Fe
board would take up the matter of the
deferred interest at q later meeting
