House Passes Navy's
Bill Authorizing More
Small Landing Graft
100000 Tons Voted
In Preparation for
Amphibious Warfare
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A measure authorizing construc-
ton of 100000 tons of small naval
craft for amphibious warfare was
passed swiftly by the House today
after it heard that the boats would
be used ito open new fronts on for
eign soil wherever necessary"
Chairman Vinson of the Naval
Affairs Committee told the House OF
the plans for use of the craft.
Authorization for the new ton
mage, approximately 10 per cent of
which is earmarked for INVASION
prescribed troop and tank carrying
landing craft, came as Congress got
a hint of harsh news to come on
the CT It of establishing the bridge
hea'. in North Africa six months
ago.
In testimony made public by the
House Appropriations Committee
today, Rear Admiral E. L. Cochrane
chief of the Bureau of Ships, de-
clared the losses of that type of boat
in the North African landing were
extremely heavy
More Than Million Tons.
The new measure. envisioning an
expenditure of l,700000,000. was
sent to the Senate by voice vote.
Representative Bradley. Democrat,
of Pennsylvania, in chcarge of the
bill reported that the Navy al
ready has constructed 100000 tons
of landing craft.
A prediction by Admiral Cochrane
that the loss of landing craft in es-
tablishing invasion bridgeheads lin
some cases" would run we'll over 30
per cent was laid before Congress
today by the House Appropriation
Committee
Admiral Cochrane's testimony was
taken as the committee pressed for
an explanation of a 100000 allot-
ment for replacement of landing
craft. part of a new record-high
S29 900 ,0O0,00 naval appropriat tions
measure.
The loss of these landing craft is
rather heavy in any operatlon?" in
quired Representative Thomas.
Democrat, of Texas during the hear
ings.
Heavy African Losses.
Very heavy, responded Admiral
Cochrane The loss of boats at the
first real show that we had-Guadal-
canal-where the landing was sub
stantially unopposed and the
weather was fair he added, were
not bad.
The losses in the North African
landing were very heavy Though
they were not violently opposed, the
weather was not good, The second
days losses of boats were extremely
heavy"
ON the basis of your past ex-
perlence in landing operations, -
continued Mr.. Thomas. would YOU
say that loss of these landing craft
would be as high as 25 per cent?"
Admiral Cochrane replied that "in
some cases it will run we'll over so

With the petition, Mr.. Durr filed
a copy of $500 check he said
was issued to Mr.. Cox by Radio
Station WALB. Albany, Ga. for
legal expense" and cited other
reasons he claimed showed "a self
interest and bias so obvious as to
render Congressman Cox unsuited to

This is just another effort to
smear my official reputation" Mr..
Cox said They have nothing on

He recalled that he had explained
in House speech that the check
was issued without any knowledge
on my part and was returned by
him as payment for stock issued on
the basis of an opinion by the cor
paration's counsel that it was per-
fectly ethical and legitimate for a
member of Congress to represent
anybody in so far as he did not ap-
pear before any agency or agent of
the Government in their behalf"
There was no irregularity in the
transaction, he declared, and the
stock subsequently was transferred
to little private charity"
Durr Submits Letter.
In letter to members of the COM
mittee accompanying copies of the

Mr.. Durr said he was unwilling to
testify before the ommittee-"and
certainly not before Representative
Cox or Mr.. Carey Eugene L. Carey,

dicates its desire that the commit
tee, as now constituted. should con-
tinue with the investigation or indi-
Gates that 1t does not deem such
facts of sufficient Importance to
warrant its attention"
The letter referred to objections
raised by Mr.. Durr to procedure
followed by the committee staff in
obtaining information. He also con-
tended the FEC should not permit
the committee to have commission
files without taking time to list what
was taken or proparly receipting

DR.. Leigh refused, Mr.. Durr added.
