WASHINGTON. April 1.-LP-
Rep. Costello (D-Calif.) refused to,

Today the possibility of asking
Congress for additional funds to
speed up the Nays building pro-
gram in conference with
Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of
naval operations, and Chairmen
Walsh and Vinson of the Senate
and House Naval Committees, re-
spectively.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of COL
orado recommended today curtail-
ing Of American battleship building
until the European war establishes
whether superdreadnaughts now
under construction can withstand
the intensive aerial bombing of mod
ern warfare.
Although the spread of the con-
nlct abroad has prompted some of
his colleagues to oppose any reduc-
tion IN the fleet program, Senator
Adams said he would ask the Sem
ate to strike from the 1868, 1877 ,478
naval bill funds for one of the two
45,OO0-ton battleships which the
measure authorizes the Navy to start
during the year beginning July l.
The bill carries $1,500,OOO for this
purpose.
Senator Adams argued that the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. question
was in the process of being set
tied by such naval engagements as
the current one in Scandinavian
waters and said the United States
should wait for "all the answers"
1T seems to me-" he told report
ers, that we are having the value
OF battleships tested today at other
peoples expense. Why should we 20
ahead and authorize the expendi-
ture OF millions of dollars until we
nnd out whether the battleship as
we know it is going to become
obsolete?"
On the other hand, Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts,
said he thought the battle in the
Skagerrak already had vindicated
the battleship's supremacy.
The cruisers, the destroyers and
all OF the other smaller ships are
being sunk, but the battleships keep
on fighting" he declared. II think
1t is further proof that the battle
ships are the backbone of any fleet"
Senator Adams, supported by Sem
ators Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa and Townsend, Republican.
OF Delaware, made an unsuccessful
effort to eliminate funds for one
battleship when the Senate Appro-
priations Committee approved the
Navy bill yesterday.
Several Senators said the Adams
attempt was defeated after Senator
Byrnes. Democrat, of South Caro-
lima told the committee that if the
Nays regular building program
were not carried out, the United
States soon might find its fleet
inferior to Japan's in capital ships.
The battleship's partisans also
had strong support from the Navy.
Rear Admiral S. M. Robinson, naval
construction chief, told the commit
tee it was his belief that Great
Britain's preponderance of battle
ships had given her control over
the seas. He said there was "abso-
lutely nothing to take the place"
of the battleship for defense pur-
poses.
In his testimony, Admiral Robin
son said:
you have one country today
which has a preponderance of
battleships. That country controls
the sea. You have another country
which has a preponderance of sub
marines and aircraft, and it is a
totally blockaded country. Now, the
point is that the United States
wants to be in the position of Eng
land on the seas, and not in the
position of Germany. That is the
whole story"
