Other Qualities
Then, lasping into a vein of

the address, he said that other
qualities were needed, among them:
"The willingness to pay 500 for

FLEET EXPANSION
PROGRAM OFFERED
Naval Leaders Call On Con-
gress To Approve ST.
3O0,OOO,OO0 Plan

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-R)-The
navy's high command asked congress
today to approve a new 81, 800, 000,-
900 fleet expansion program to meet
the threat of world conflagration,"
but kept a cloak of unusual secrecy
around it's details.
Secretary Edison and Admiral
Harold G.. Stark, chief of naval
operations, urged approval of the
huge increase at the opening of
public hearings before the house
naval committee, asserting that the
gravity of international conditions
n~ecessitated it.
1.-The situation is rife with pos
sibilities of a general European
war;" Stark declared, "and, in con
junction with the far eastern condi-
tons, presents a threat of world
conflagration.'
While details of the program were
not divulged, Stark created the i'm.
preston among committee members
that the navy had decided upon
larger ships in certain c~ategories,
possibly in the cruiser class, when
he disclosed that the program now
calls for II new combatant ships
and 80 auxiliary vessels, in addition
to 1895 airplanes and SO lighter
than-air craft.
When Chairman Vinson (D-Ga)
announced last November that a
new expansion program was con-
templated, he said that it called for
95 warships and 81 auxiliaries, or
10 more ships than Stark's total.
The admiral made it plain thai
no battleships were involved in
either the old or new plans, spiking
the possibility that the navy had de-
cided to go in for super-battlesh1ps
of IS, 000-tons each, or bigger.

The county bowling league is COM
ing along fine. The Carr China team,
captained by Tally Lisk, took the first
half, while the potters captained by
Jim Chester finished in last place. A
much different story is to be told of
the second half, however. The potters
have been strengthened with the adj
dition of George and Bus Pugh and
are tied for SECOND place. All ap-
pearances show they have an excellent
opportunity of coping the second
half, while the Carr China bowlers are
struggling along toward the bottom
of the league,t being in fifth place.
Should the potters win this half they
will then meet the Carr China rollers
for the county championship. Such
match should draw large following
from the shop, so good luck potters
and | am sure the Carr China team
wishes you the same.

gated since the last report was sent
