House Member Hits
Warships' Transfer

Representative Risk, Republican,
OF Rhode Island wrote to his COL
leagues in the House today to oppose
proposal of Chairman Vinson of
the Naval Affairs Committee that
four vessels which participated in
the naval activities of the last four
wars be berthed in the Potomac
River near the District.
The ships are the Constellation,
the Hartford, the Olympia and a
World War destroyer.
Mr.. Risk declared the Constella-
ton, now at the Naval Training
Station at Newport, r. l., has
been a great source Of inspira ton
in the training" of young sailors.
He also pointed out the estimated
cost for the restoration of this ship
to make her seaworthy before any
removal could be undertaken would
amount to $530,0OO.
Il am certain, lacking official
estimated COSTS he declared, that
such restoration costs for the other
ships mentioned would be in pro-
portion. 1t would seem to me that
insofar as they are serving the
same purpose in their present To-
calities objection to their removal
is we'll founded"
Aside from the Constellation, the
other ships are now located at
Charleston, S. c., and Philadelphia.
