Democrats Oppose Additions to Battleship Fleet
Washington July 25 All hope of Navy gains from the current Congress session faded as House Democrats again opposed any additions to the battleship fleet. Leader Underwood and Wilson reportedly favored ships while Speaker Clark voted against the policy. The caucus, the third on the topic, also highlighted debates over public buildings and Navy funding. Burnett of Alabama led the opposition demanding at least 2 million for public works, blocking a Padgett measure to authorize one battleship by 70 to 62.
