At that time he announced that he felt submarines were in greater need than crulsers and would en- deavor to amend the program on the floor along this line. High officials of the Navy have in- formed the committee that it is the cruisers along the general line of the eight 10,000-ton cruisers authorized in 1924. Of these eight, two, the Pensa- colr. and Salt Lake City, are under construction, and funds have been pro- vided for starting others. The ships are designed to carry nine 8-inch guns, the maximum permitted under the Washington naval treaty, and to have a speed of about 31.5 knots. This speed approximates that of the ships of this class constructed by other nations. Death Held Accidental.
