The fire was de- scribed as slight, due to the igni- ton of sacking on the ship, The two firemen who were overcome were taken to hospital. The Prince q Wales is to be launched March 5. It was assumed that the admir-. alty would conduct an investiga tior of the fire, even though 1t seemed to be purely accidental.
 King George VI was heavily guarded when he launched the George V yesterday, lest Irish "Re- publican army" terrorists attempt a hostile demonstration. Mishaps to three other British warships were reported.

ROYAL AIR FORCE
 TO BE INCREASED
6,OOO More Men to Make Total IOz,OOO; Charl-
 berlain Supported

London, Feb. 22-(UP) - Parlia. mentwas asked today to authorize an increase of the personnel of the Royal Air Force by 6,000, bringing the total to l02,000 men.
 Issuing supplementary estimates this morning, the cabinet asked for the 5000 increase authorization. An accompanying memordum said that because of the now satisfactory response to Q call for recruits the force had already reached its present authorization of 96,000 men SO that the increase was necessary.
 Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain won technical vote of con- fidence in his rearmament policy last night when the House of Corn- mons, ending Q two.day full dress debate, defeated by BIO votes against 107 Q labor party symbolic amend- ment to reduce the proposed de. fense loan.
 Prime Minister Chamberlain quiet statement that rearmament was now at last beginning to bear fruit" and his hint that Great Britain could continue spending and borrowing money indefinitely If the present program was insufficiently convincing to the European dicta- tors, were regarded as a consider able importance.
 The feeling was growing that the government thought the rearra- ment program to have reached @ stage where 1t was ready to talk to other governments on basis of fequality or strength.

KIDNAPPED BOY IS
 SOON RANSOMED

New York, Feb. 22.-(UP)-. George Katz, Brooklyn accountant ot moderate means, revealed today that his four-year-old son. Michael, had been kidnapped Monday morn- ing and released that night after payment of approximately $500" ransom. The boy was not harmed,
 The kidnapers, two unidentified men, demanded $7,000, but they agreed to the reduced ransom when Kats told them through an inter- mediary that he could pay no more.
 Katz was reluctant to disclose de- tails of the case. He said that police Investigators working on the matter had requested him not to talk about 1t. Police themselves declined to give any information.
 The Kidnapping took place about 6:S0 a. m. Monday shortly after Mrs. Katz had left their home in the Sea Gate section of Brooklyn, a quiet residential district. to go to the New York school where she is a teacher.
