C—-6 PRESIENTS ORDER AWATED BY MAV Executive Word to Proceed Needed Before Cruisers Can Be Started. Before work can proceed, President Hoover will have to give the word to go ahead with the construction of the three new light cruisers to be built in ‘Government Navy Yards, the author- ized submarines V-8 and V-9 and the new small aircraft carrier, it was stated yesterday at the Navy Department. Mod- ernization of the three battleships, U.S.8. Mississippi, New Mexico and Idaho is | likewise waiting on the Chief Executive, it was explained, for the Navy Depa s ment's recommendation that this be done was returned by the Budget Bureau to the department, where it now rests, the naval authorities being powerless to initiate action, it was explained. ‘This was done, it was thought, in view of the proceedings at London, de- signed to limit naval armament. At present, the Navy Department is with- out legal authorization to proceed with the modernization of these three vessels and it will be necessary for the Navy to seek this authority from the Senate and House naval committees and later to go before the House appropriations committee to obtain money to proceed ‘work. Would Alleviate Situation. Should President Hoover authorize the construction that Congress has al- ready sanctioned to proceed. it would mean that the Washington Navy Yard ‘would be benefitted and the threatened curtailment at the Navy Gun Factory there would be alleviated. About 148 men were placed on a 30- day furlough on Monday from the foun- dry and pattern makers force, and on May 17 and 18, May 24 and May 31, there will be & total of about 260 work- ers released from the naval gun factory. ‘This means that during this month about 400 will be released on 30-day furloughs, enabling ‘them to remain on the civil service list and be transferred to other branches of the Government service, if they can find openings, the official asserted. This ‘method, rather than an outright discharge, it was ex- plained, permits these men to hold the status in rating and remain on the eligible Government pay roll. ‘The number of 400 men, to be re- Jeased from the naval gun factory this month, may be reduced from 20 to 25 per. dfient. ‘Washington Navy Yard autholtities explained today, as many of these men may be able to find employ- ment at the Bureau of Standards or the Government Printing Office, and about 8 dozen are being transferred to the Naval Air Station at Anacostia, or the Naval Research Laboratory at Bellevue, D. C., they asserted. Many Transferred. ort is being made to transfer the 'w-mxr?g:‘ Navy vard, cials said. The 260 men yet to be fur- loughed represent workers in the ma- chine lhOY‘ shect metal workers, help- ers and laborers. Some of the men into active status without delay, but officials at the Navy Department con- ceded that this is a remote possibility. ‘The Washington Navy Yard will soon Bet the job of relining the guns of the 8.
