Five Days Deadlock Broken On Naval Bill
Washington May 19 Administration forces in Congress lost the first skirmish in the naval preparedness campaign when the house committee broke a five days deadlock and completed the naval appropriation bill without approving the five year building program urged by President Wilson and Secretary Daniels.
