Senate funds aerial mail route from New York to San Francisco
Washington March 29 An appropriation of 1 415 000 for aerial mail service from New York to San Francisco was written into the annual post office appropriation bill just before it passed the senate. The house rejected a similar proposal but senate leaders were hopeful. The route would go via Chicago and Omaha. The bill carries 462 000 000 for postal service expenses next fiscal year, up about 1 400 000 over house figures. The senate also inserted provisions for retaining abandoned mail tubes and for a commission to study mail transportation in congested centers. An amendment to permit loaning army tractors for road building was adopted. The senate rejected a provision to prohibit postal employees from union memberships outside the postal service.

Army Submarines and Battleships Not Ready for War, Grant Testifies
Washington reports Rear Admiral A W Grant, former submarine and later Atlantic fleet battleship commander, told Senate committees in March 1917 that American submarines and many second line battleships were unfit for April war service. He said 800 ton submarines were long urged but underfunded, and that overhaul delays left ships vulnerable to a serious underwater blow. He noted ships could not meet German naval power in 1917 and admitted older vessels performed similar wartime duties.
