Guam project may be voted Guam project may be voted
Washington February 25 A prediction that the senate would reverse the house action and authorize 5500000 in naval improvements at Guam came from Senator Lewis as the military committee approved the 358000000 army and air corps expansion bill. He said if the senate mood is correct it will return the Guam item and say it is ours. Senator Lee also urged restoring the Guam item in the naval base bill noting the house vote could be seen as weakness in the Orient. He suggested President Roosevelt may need to use personal influence. The debate tied to broader war readiness and a 34500000 item in the army bill would fund orders for 55 items needed if war comes.
