'A—18 THE SUNDAY BTAR, —_— WORK IS HASTENED ON 5 SUBMARINES Commissioning Next Year Objective of Navy in Building Program. By the Associated Press. On the eve of a naval conference at which much will be said about sub- marines, Secretary Swanson was in- formed yesterday that work was being hastened on 5 of the Navy's 16 new submarines so they can be commis- sioned next year. The Navy's building program will give the United States full treaty strength by 1936 in battleships, cruisers and aircraft carriers, and in submarines and destroyers by 1942. The limitations laid down by the Washington and London treaties ex- pire in 1936. The United States now has 84 sub- marines of 70,020 tons, figuring 41 ships that are over the 13-year-age limit specified in the treaties. Others Have Fewer Submarines. Great Britain and Japan, the other chief sea powers concerned, have smaller total submarine tonnage than the United States, but a larger per- centage is in new, modern ships. Great Britain has 56 submarines of 56,209 tons, and Japan 57 of 68,349 tons. Many of the American subs are fast approaching retirement age, but the Construction Bureau's report to Swan- son said excellent progress was being made in building the new ships to replace aging vessels to insure the United States of adequate submarines. The report showed the hull of the Porpoise, being built at the Ports- mouth Navy Yard was 95.2 per cent complete. Engines and machinery ‘were 96.2 per cent complete. The Pike, also under construction at Portsmouth, was 81.4 per cent com- plete in hull and 829 in machinery, Progress on 3 Boats. Steady progress also was reported on the three boats under construction by the Electric Boat Co., the Shark’s hull being 99 per cent complete, engines and machinery, 91 per cent; the Tar- pon’s hull 97 per cent, machinery 81 per cent; the Perch's hull 57.5 per cent machinery 22.4 per cent. Excellent progress also was reported on the Pickerel, Permit, Plunger, Pol- lack and Pompano, under construction in the Electric Boat, Portsmouth and Mare Island yards. Of the Navy's total submarines, 43 of 45,600 tons, were “under age” and ready for action during 1935. By com- parison, Great Britain had 36 new undersea craft of 44,954 tons, and Japan 49 of 61837 tons. During this year, four American submarines of 3,390 tons have reached the end of their usefulness, and in 1936 19 others of 15170 tons will reach the gge limit, leaving the United States with only 20 under age sub- marines of 27,040 tons. CENTRAL MISSION SEEKS $53,000 TO FUND WORK Contributions of Supporters to Be Only Source of Year's Revenue, The Central Union Mission will de- pend upon its own supporters without resorting to a public drive in efforts to raise $53,000 to defray expenses of its relief work for the next 12 months, Supt. John S. Bennett said yesterday. The budget is the same as that last year, the superintendent said, despite the increase in emergency demands made upon the mission. The $53,000 budget also includes expenses of the Children’s Emergency Home, the mis- sion farm and Camp Bennett. ‘The mission has no sources of in= come other than contributions by its supporters. The work of the mission has increased 100 per cent since 1930, Bennett pointed out. During October 4,283 men and 31 ehildren were sheltered. New regis- trations for the month jumped to 1,369, while the number of men who received care numbered 1485. One hundred and ten men received articles of clothing, as compared with 61 who wers clothed during October, 1934. dobs were secured for 69 men during $he 30-day period. SHORT ROAD PROPOSED The Commisisoners were informed Yyesterday by a committee of Southern Maryland residents that Maryland will construct & short cut-off road from Naylor road to Branch avenue, at the District line, if the District will build & hard-surface on Branch avenue from the District line to Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast. ‘The committee making the proposal eonsists of Hugh C.
