WILLARD BFRATES DAVIS
The issue came to a showdown
in the subcommittee Of the Senate
Appropriations Committee where
Administration forces won their
vote to give American Export
Lines modest subsidy. In the
subcommittee, Tydings and the
Republicans lined up solidly against
the Administration.
A few days later the vote came
up in the full Appropriations Com
mittee where Senator Tydings Of
fored an amendment which had the
effect of striking out the 100000
vote for American Export Lines
When it came the turn for Senator
Davis, Republican of Pennsylvania
to vote, he responded, aye" Sen
atOr Green of Rhode Island, Demo-
crat, who was sitting beside Davis,
leaned over and whispered, "You
didn't mean that, did you SenatOr?"
Green knew that Davis previous
ly had been for American Export
and against Tydings and so he ask
ed the Pennsylvania Senator if he
did not misunderstood the Tydings
amendment. Davis acknowledged
that he did and asked the chairman
to change his vote.
This one vote threw the commit
tee against Tydings and in favor of
the new air line across the Allan
tic.
Whereupon Tydings let forth a
burst of Indignation, claiming that
Davis had no right to change his
vote. The chairman reminded him
that other Senators had changed
their votes from time to time. But
Ty dings seemed to want to make
it a personal matter with Davis.
After a few more exchanges, how
ever, he finally subsidized.
NOTE: Senator Tydings is a
friend of Davis K. E. Bruce, son-in-
law of the late Andrew Mellon who
has been a factor in Pan American

of the National Dairy Products Co.

Capt. Benson grew up with the

lives at 2420 Tracy place NV, "He

Capt. Benson is one person who
didn't stop when he had taken the
Naval War College correspondence
course in strategy and tactics; he
went on and took the Army War
College course, too.
Born in Baltimore, he entered the
Naval Academy from Georgia in
1905. His career includes service
of types of ships from converted
yachts to battleships. He holds the
Navy Cross for patrol work with
the U. S. 8. Corone and the u. s..

During his tour of duty at the
academy Capt. Benson was accred-

among midshipmen and officers
alike in yacht racing. He skip

Captains of New BottIeships
Born to Traditions of Sea
Copt. Benson Son
Of First Chief
Of Operations

Uncle Sam is placing his two new
est superbattleships, built to defy
the world, in the hands of two Navy
captains who have inherited the
stormy traditions of the sea.
One, Capt. Howard H. j. Benson,
is the son of former admiral. The
second, Capt. Olaf M HuStvedt,
comes from Viking stock. He is
the son of Norwegian parents who
came to America during the last
century.
Capt. Hustvedt officially took
over the new U. S. S. North Caro-
lima in the New York Navy Yard
on Wednesday, but the giant craft
believed by the Navy to be the
worlds finest and most formidable
fighting craft-wont actually join
the fleet until midsummer. The
captain is originally from Iowa.
Capt. Benson is the son of the
late Admiral William S. Benson,
the first chief of naval operations,
and he'll take command of the
u. S. S. Washington in May.
First Commissioned Since 1923.
The Navy hadn't commissioned a
battleship since 1923 when it gave
command of the North Carolina to
Capt. Hustvedt this week. 1t chose
the man who had commanded the
color guard at the Naval Academy
in 1909 and who had played on the
"B" football squad. The North
Carolina, $4,000 tons, is the largest
battleship ever built by this Ma
ton and almost the largest af1oat-
to the knowledge of the Navy
This is the first battleship COM
mand for Capt. Hustvedt, but he
is no stranger to battleships. His
record shows a special letter of
commendation for service with the
Battleship Division 6 when he was
aide to the commander. In 1919
he joined Battleship Division 8
and operated with the British
grand fleet.
His career includes a term as
aide and operations officer on the
staff of the commander of the
United States fleet and routine
command of vessels. There was
term at Naval Gun Factory here
and one in the Office of the Chief of
Naval Operations. In this period
