Washington's Hale in line to chart naval policy
Washington reports Senator Freddy Hale of Maine, long a political power, will steer Navy policy hearings as chair of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs. The Hale family legacy spans prominent public service, with a history of lawmakers and cabinet roles guiding his path from Harvard and Columbia law toward a pivotal role in shaping naval decisions.
Maine Senator Hale A Naval Advocate In Politics And Life
Maine born politician Hale rose to the United States Senate in 1916 after serving in the state legislature. A Republican with progressive leanings, he championed naval affairs, pushing for 15 extra cruisers and preserving time limits on armament clause in Dill. A bachelor at 55, he enjoys fishing and camping and prioritizes the navy as a path to world peace. He backed Prohibition and women's suffrage, and his future stance on Hoover era arms limits remains conjectural.
