National Calamity Denies Lake Co Sub Contract
Washington July 7 Senate debate over naval appropriations centers on denying Lake Torpedo Boat a contract to build six fleet submarines. Senator Brandegee and Senator King push McLean amendment to require six submarines, arguing it preserves a key Bridgeport plant and warns of a potential investigation into navy submarine policy. Poindexter and other senators defend current plans and note existing submarine production elsewhere.
