Plan to deepen water to Navy Yard faces political resistance
Washington on May 12 reports rising resentment among Administration officials and New York Democrats over a Rivers and Harbors bill provision. The measure would fund $700,000 to remove Diamond Shoals and create a 35 foot deep channel from the ocean to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, seen as vital for warship navigation and preparedness. Posts and congressmen clash over Clarke amendment to Philippine Independence bill, with Burleson accusing New York Democrats of disloyalty.
