NAVAL BETTERMENTS ARE GEORGIANS AlN Solon Proposes 10-Year-Build- ing Program Which Includes 120 New Ships ‘Washington, Jan. 4.—(AP)—A con- gressional effort was on Monday to spend. $700,000,000 in creating for the ‘United States a navy second to none, fully up to the limits laid down by international treaties. The new chairman of the house na- val committee—Representative Vin- son, democrat, Georgia—presented a bill to authorize construction of 120 new vessels. To quote his statement, the measure would provide a “first class navy for a first class nation.” Vinson’s program, which he pre- pared in several weeks of conferences with the navy general would authorize $616,260,000 for 120 new ships. It would not affect the 16 ves- sels to cost $91,500,000 already auth- orized. All the warships but two of three new aircraft carriers, Vin- , would replace others that made unsuitable.

The leaders were lying low, awaiting developments, From London came word that the British government views the nation- alist campaign as a challenge to the fundamentals of law and order and intends to deal with it as such. The developments at Bombay had repercussions elsewhere. There was @ split in the all-India Moslem con- ference at New Delhi where the presi- dent and secretary resigned on the grounds that they wanted the confer- ence to give full discretion to Mos- lems who wanted'to join the congress Party movement. In far off Panama, all the East Indian stores were closed as a protest against Gandhi's impri- sonment. Ranks Next to Gandhi That the British government is de- termined to deal with the situation with an iron hand was shown by the sentencing at Allahabad of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, to two years at hard labor on a charge of violating one of the new restrictive ordinances.
