SENATE NAVY BILL HEARINGS T0 BEGIN Fight on CI'UISBI' Issue Ex- pected in Committee and on Floor. By the Associated Press. Hearings on the naval supply bill, passed Friday by the House will be- &in tomorrow before a Senate appro- priations subcommittee headed by Benator Hale, Republican, Maine. Both in the subcommittee and on the Senate floor the fight between “big Navy” men and those inclined 1o support the budget is expected to be renewed, particularly over the ques- tion of making an appropriation to begin construction of three light cruisers authorized two years ago. Senators Johnson, Republican, Cali- fornia, and Edwards, Democrat, New Jersey, plan to make a fight for adop- tion of an amendment which would mvnde funds for the vessels, The Jouse refused to make such a pro- vision. The House, however, did add to the Bill an appropriation of $200,000 to begin work on a big dirigible to re- place the Shepandosh, and this amendment also is likely to be a &torm center in the Senate.
