 Sen. Key Pittman, D., New chairman Of the foreign relations committee, hailed the speedy action Of the emergency war preparedness program as notice to the world that we are going to finish any thing that they start"
 Tho navy bill, carrying funds and authorizations to expedite the huge shipbuilding program and to bring naval air strength to some 10000 fighting planes, was expected to get the same unanimous approval giv. on the army measure.
