can. Of Indiana went before the
Senate Expenditures Committee
today to lead the fight against the
plan.
Strong Opposition Stressed.
Senators Robertson and May
bank emphasized that the strong
opposition which has poured in
from the banks of the country is
not based on any fear they have
of what MIR Snyder would do. but
Of what could happen under some
future Treasury head If the con-
troller his independence in super.
vising and examining national
banks.
Secretary Snyder told the COM
mlttee he favors all other fea-
lures of the reorganization plan

thority over other Treasury bu-
reauS.
Senator Robertson pointed out
there could be no economy in the
transfer because the banks pay
the cost of the examinations
made by the controller.

Chairman Mcclellan of the Ex-
penditures Committee wanted TO

Senator Robertson said the
bankers know that the manner Of

Secretary of the Treasury stating
his view that it would be unwise

I'm attempting to develop
number of reorganization plans
which would apply the Hoover
Commission recommendations on
general management of the Gov
ernment, the President was faced
with the question of whether or
not to provide exemptions or to
apply the recommendations on
an across the board basis. Gen.
orally. he took the approach that
it would be better to forward re.

equipment for detecting the pres
ence OF other vessels by sound
and electronics.
Will Be 1870 Feet Long.
"As result of their small size
they will be 100 feet long and will
displace $50 tons-the SSK s
tanti-submarine submarines will
be adaptable to mass production,
an announcement said.
Air Force officials said that
more than 200 warning centers
were hooked up now and that
many more would be in opera
tion later. A total of 100000 civil
ians are being recruited to man
them. Radar outposts are oper-
ated around the clock.
Alarm systems have been in
stalled which can flash an alert
to Air Force intercepter squadrons
and the warning centers within a
matter OF minutes.
Signal System Arranged.
The centers, picked by Cover
nors and Mayors. are spots like
police and fire stations in key
cities. where some one will be
available at all times to man spe-
eial telephones equipped with yell
low, blue, red and white lights.
To expedite the calls, a priorities
system has been worked out with
telephone companies.
The various colored lights are
for the various degrees of alerts.
Yellow means the size of a possi-
Bile raid isn't known yet, but it
might develop in perhaps an hour.
Blue is 4 15-minute warning OF a
threatened raid. Red means A raid
Is imminent. White is all clear"
This system is similar to that
used in the World War II air
warning service.
The Navy chose the 50th an
niversary OF its submarine service
to make the announcement about
the new type submersibles.
J Subs Under Construction.
Three OF the small vessels are
under construction. Six fast at
tack subs with greater submerged
speed than the present fleet types
also are being built.
The larger subs will be shorter
than the current 3ll-foot fee
type, but they will have the sam,
displacement-l.500 tons.
They will be equipped with
"snorkel" breathing tubes. en-.
