Stockholm today that the attempts
ed assassination of Reinhard Hey
drich, Reichprotector Of Bohemia

Added Construction
OF AirpIane Carriers
Considered by Navy
Vinson Soys More
Ships of Type Needed
For Tusk Forces

BY the Associated Press.
An indication that the Navy soon
would ask for a new multi-million-
dollar program of aircraft carrier
construction came from Chairman
Vinson of the House Naval Affairs
Committee, yesterday.
Such a program would be imposed
on the existing and substantial pro-
gram under which at least IL car
riers are on the ways to augment
the seven carriers now listed as
operating with the feet.
Representative Vinson contem-
plated an ultimate fleet of carriers
bearing planes in overwhelming
numbers" to serve as the spearhead
for attack on all the far-fung sea
fronts.
The Navy, he said, would build
and build" carriers and balance that
augmented force with more destroy
ers to guard the carriers and long
range submarines to stab enemy
supply lines and fighting ships.
To Retain Battleships.
While emphasizing the role OF
carriers In modern naval task forces
Mr.. Vinson said such a program did
not signal the extinction of the
huge, powerfully-gunned battleships
While the task forces such as
intercepted the japanese in the
Coral Sea and raided the Gilbert
and Marshall Islands were built
around carriers because of the need
for air striking power, Mr.. Vinson
said, the battleshlp retained its i'm
portance.
Force commanders need battle
ships, cruisers and smaller support
ing surface vessels to cover landings
to engage enemy battleships," he
said. $50 also are these other types
essential in keeping the sea lanes
open to maintain all phases of mil
itary operation in distant areas"
Representative Vinson said that
WIFI Illc CdIIlcIS IlOW Ill CUIllIlllS-
sion we have only the beginnings for
an all-out job. The building pro-
gram of already authorized carrier.
is ahead of schedule, but the need
for additional ships Of this category
in large numbers is strikingly OBJ
vlouS."
Carriers Answer Problem.
Commenting that the fronts ir
the global conflict include the At
lantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans
Representative Vinson said:
In practically every one Of these
theaters of war, the aircraft carrier
must spearhead the attack. Since
the effective range of even the mos
modern airplanes is less than the
thousands of miles between us anc
our battlefront, the transportation
question assumes vital Importance
Obviously, the most desirable
method is to carry planes ready fol
action. Aircraft carriers, highly
maneuverable airports complete II
themselves, are the answer"
