Warship Bill Fails In House As Army Strength Sought
The House defeated an amendment to the naval appropriation bill by 124 to 30, blocking a provision to bar spending of 100 million dollars for farm aid bonds and disarmament talks. Senate approved the general appropriation, with 174 million for salaries and government costs, while rejecting a see option for the farm bonds. General Lord testified the army would average 281,000 next year if enlistments continue, though the House bill funds only 150,000.
