NEW YORK, April 1l.-Shipbuild-
ing operations have been stepped up
by the Federal program for the en-
largement of the merchant marine
under the United States flag. Total
tonnage under construction in do
mestic yards on February l was ap-
proximately 55 per cent larger than a
year earlier, according to the Standard
Statistics Co.
This gain was entirely accounted
for by the tonnage of seagoing vessels,
which was more than double that of
a year earlier. Plans call for the
placing Of contracts during the present
year for some II additional ships
called for under permanent subsidy
agreements. and such action is prob
able as soon as Congress has adopted
legislation covering the Maritime Com
missions suggestions for modifying
the terms under which financial aid
may be extended to private ship opera
tors
In addition, work in private yards
will be augmented by new Navy build
ing, for which an appropriation is in
cluded in the 1889 naval supply bill
This includes two battleShips, two
cruisers, eight destroyers, six sub
marines and four auxiliaries, and is
exclusive of the proposed 20 per cent
enlargement of the Navy for which
no funds have as yet been appropri-
ated. One-half of this work will be
awarded to private builders.

BISHOP PCANNON'S
SUIT IS QUASHED
Appellate Court Affirms
Judgment in S500,000
Libel Case.

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals. in a decision handed down
today. quashed the $500,00o libel suit
Of Bishop James Cannon. jr.. against
Representative George H. Tinkham,
Republican. of Massachusetts,. an echo
of the 1928 presidential campaign
of Alfred E. Smith.
The appellate court affirmed the
judgment of District Court, where the
trial justice had directed a verdict for
the defendant on February S, 1887.
The Court of Appeals granted the
motion, filed by Attorneys Roger J.
Whiteford and p. H. Marshall, to
strike out the bill of exceptions and
affirm the judgment.
We think the motion should be
granted" said the court in its
opinion.
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
and Associate Justices Harold M.
Stephens and Henry W. Edgerton
heard the case and rendered the opin-
ion in which it was pointed out that
the bill of exceptions had not been
filed within the proper time.
Representative Tinkham delivered
a speech on the floor Of the House in
which he said Bishop Cannon had
violated the corrupt practices act dur
ing the 1928 campaign In which he
was active against former Gov. Smith
The lawmaker alleged that the Bishop
had received SOS, 800 as = campaign
contribution from Edwin c. Jameson
of New York, but had reported only
$4,000 to the clerk Of the House, un-
der the terms of the statute and had
not accounted for the balance. That
speech, under the Constitution, wa,
privileged matter.
Bishop Cannon then challenged
Representative Tinkham to make hi
! accusations At q place where he wouls
not be protected by congressional i'm
munity.
Accordingly Representative Tinkhan
wrote and published substantially tn
same charges over his own signatur'
in which he accused the bishop Of be
ing . shameful violator Of the corrup
practices act.
