but those who left pointed out that
they could return quickly in an

by Chairman Vinson, Democrat, OF

to ask Congress to authorize 95 new
warships and almost 2,400 more air

today that the Navy already had
decided to boost its next regular ap-

be made on such items as relief
l.755 100000 this year-and farm
subsidies which total 1898 600, 600
this year.
Hopes for w. P. A. Cut Voiced.
Senator Byrnes, who is chairman
of the Senate Unemployment and
Relief Committee, said he was hope
full that increased employment would
permit cut in w. P. A. appropria-
tions for the new year.
On the other hand,s Senator La
Toilette, Progressive, of Wisconsin
said he thought that unless there
was an unprecedented and .unan-
ticipated" pickup in employment, il
would be next to impossible to cut
w. P. A. appropriations.
While the new embargo legisla.

Inmates calling for about 5000, 900 900
were given to the House Naval Ap-
priations Subcommittee, which had
planned to start hearings within the
next few days.
Chairman Scrugham. Democrat,
OF Nevada, Of the subcommittee dis
closed that the hearings had been
postponed at least until November
%, but said that he did not know
the amount which the Navy planned
to request.
Some Congressman expressed a
belief that substantial part of the
proposed $500, 900 900 increase in the
Navy's regular appropriation would
be devoted to expanding shipbuild-
ing and armament facilities at navy
yards, besides assisting private
shipyards to gear their plants for
bigger loads.
Shipyard Speed-up Seen.
There was talk, too, that the Navy
might find it necessary to put its
shipyards on 24-hour operating
schedules to expedite the current
building program. This speed-up
would be necessary, they said, in
view Of Mr.. Wilson's announcement
that special efforts would be made

2 Billion Defense Outlay Forecast.
Defense appropriations for this
year totaled $l,783,187,847 and a
deficiency appropriation probably
will be required because Of in
creases in the Army and Navy au-
thorized by President Roosevelt un-
der his declaration of a limited ma

Informed legislators expect con.
siderably more than two billion dol

the next fiscal year beginning July
