900 MILLION SUB
BILL IS PASSED
Congress Determined To
Beat The Enemy At
His Own Game

WASHINGTON, April 16.-tR-
Determined to beat the enemy at
his own game, the House passed
today legislation calling for vast
expansion of the United States
submarine fleet, at an estimated
cost of 5000, 100000.
Without an opposing vote it sent
to the Senate the bill of Rep. Vim
son D-Ga) to provide for imme-
diate construction of an additional
200, 900 tons of under sea craft.
Vinson, chairman of the Naval
Affairs Committee, said ne could
not, for reasons of military expedi-
ency, disclosed how many submar-
sibles would be constructed under
the new program, but earlier he
had said "nore than 100" would
be built.
This number probably would
come close to doubling the size
and torpedo strength of the exist
ing sub fleet. Vinson said mem
bers of the committee knew t'how
many submarines we need" and
added they are being built now
faster than ever before"
The chairman indicated that the
new fleet was intended to combat
Axis activities in the Atlantic,
where United Nations shipping
losses have been heaviest.

had gathered there throughout the
