Navy Plan Gets Blown Up by House Delays
Washington February 11 The House sustained points of order by Rep Mann against the three year building program in the Naval appropriation bill. The move virtually wipes out the program as Rep Garrett of Tennessee led a fight against nonauthorized work. Padgett urged an amendment to fund the capital ships while Pou of the Rules Committee pressed for a rule to restrict legislation in the bill. Milles of Minnesota offered a substitute to appropriate 20 million for new battleships, but Padgett favored 2 million. After heated debate the House adjourned with only the Padgett amendment and Mills substitute awaiting action.
