found it necessary to send out
distress calls, are awaiting the ar

j southeast of Bermuda.
The American freighter Dixiano

southern coast of Cuba. The ves

PACIFTCS COITLIF DEFEAT Tilt,
CRUISER CONSTRUCTION
ONLY ONE CONDITION
WASHINGTON, Jan.. 25, (/F)—
Tepre^ntafive Fred Britten of Illi
nois. chairman of the Naval Af -
fairs Committee in the House,
! curled a Parliamentary bombshell
into the ranks of the Senate pacif
!es who are filibustering a Bill
which would authorize the con
struction of 15 10.000-tons cruisers
and an airplane carrier for the
United States Navy, says Arthur
Sears Henning, writing for the
Chicago Tribune.
Mr. Britten took steps to add the
cruiser authorizing Bill and initial
appromiation for the cruisers to
the annual Naval Appropriation,
shortly to come before the House.
Sue*' tactics would have the ef
fect of discharging the Senate from
further consideraton of the cruiser
Bill and pacifies could defeat the
| cruisers only by defeating the en •
|tire Navy Bill. Mr. Britten broach
ed h s plan to President Coolidge
and while he did not refer to the
reaction, he did say the President
expressed an earliest desire to have
tiie cruisers authorized and con
structed.
Flat opposition to the $24,000,001*
appropriation for better enforce
ment of prohibition as incorporat
ed bv the Senate in the first de
ficiency bill was expressed by the
House leaders and indications ara
it will be defeated. It is suggested
that President Coolidge may send
a special message to the House pro
testing against the appropriation
and that he might veto the de
ficiency bill if it comes to him.
