FOES OF NAVAL

Supporters Of Measure
Sure of Passage
By ARTHUR HACHTEN

0.N.S.) Senate foes of the Ad.
IminiStration's $1,156, SAC, 900 Navy
building bill today claimed "a
minimum of 40 votes" against the
measure. That is nine votes short
of a majority of the SO Senator'S.
Though their claims of strength
were challenged by Administration
chieftains, the Borah-Nye-Lundeen-
Vandenberg forces squared away
for a series of speeches against
the measure.
I'VE have from 40 to As votes
against the BILL" boosted Sen
alto" Nye CR) Of North Dakota.
There are about 10 speeches to
be delivered against the bill.
There is a lot to be said"
WALSH CONFIDENT
He denied opponents of the bill
would attempt a filibuster to talk
the bill to death. I'VE are win
ming recruits every day." he said.
However, Chairman Walsh CD
Massachusetts,, of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee and
leader of the forces supporting
the bill, confidently predicted the
measure would be passed by the
Senate substantially in the form
it was reported by his committee.
Despite predictions of Majority
Leader Barley, of Kentucky, that
the bill would be quickly passed,
possibly tomorrow, Nye said the
battle would run well into next
week.
The "little Navy" forces con-
ferred over strategy and planned
to offer a batch of weakening
amendments. In claiming his
forces were within a few votes Of
victory, Nye said his bloc may
abandon amendments in the hope
of gaining votes against the bill
in its entirety.
WARSHIP TONNAGE
Efforts will be made to kill pro-
visions for an increase in battle
ship tonnage thrust at what
proponents Of the measure con-
sidered its heart.
Should such an amendment fail,
another one will be offered to re-
duce the proposed tonnage from
1876, 900 to los, 900, to prevent con-
struction of 45,000-ton capital
ships and limiting authorization
to 35,000-ton vessels.
The Navy Department has asked
for the greater tonnage, because
of reports other sea powers are
planning to construct the super
dreadnaughts.
Notice was given by Senator
Lundeen (F.L.l Of Minnesota, he
would offer an amendment to
authorize construction Of rigid
airship and to continue expert
ments with lighter-than-air craft.
