Chairman Vinson said the 4.0 billion naval expansion bill authorized by the House Naval Committee has President Roosevelt’s approval. The measure would authorize expansion with no funds, while Admiral Stark noted a 175 million dollar startup demand could follow if Congress acts this session. The House Rules Committee set two hours of debate and a Senate path was anticipated. The Senate Appropriations Committee also backed the 1.78 billion emergency supply bill with net increases from the House due to cash boosts and adjusted contracts. Leaders planned center passage today or tomorrow.
