Navy Wants
Money For
Guam Work

Washington, Jan. 9.-(AP)-Ad-
m;raI Harold r. Stark told Congress
TODAY that the Navy is seeking 81
000 GOO TO carry out much of the pro-
posed Improvement program at the
tinv Pacific island of Guam, which
the legislators rejected last year.
Stark's statement caused an out
burst Of questioning by members OF
the House Naval Affairs Committee,
who fought the Guam project at the
session d year ago.
Stark. chief of naval operations,
said the request for the funds had
been included in the budget for the
l4th naval dstrict-the Hawaiian
area-and explained that procedure
was adopted because the navy did
not need any congressional authori-
cation ior work in that district.
I'VE want you gentlemen to know
exactly why we did it that way"
Stark said. There was absolutely no
intention OF trying to cover II up.
The work proposed, Stark said, is
chiefly dredging for under water
.lIrWays in construction OF break
