TWO MORE BATTLESHIPS
ROOSEVELT'S WISH
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
(Received April 30, 1250 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, April 29.
President Roosevelt has sent a message to Congress asking for an additional appropriation of 25,597,----000 dollars to enable a start to be made on the construction of two more battleships.
Thus there is a likelihood that six dreadnoughts will be on the ways by January, 1939, not counting the three contemplated under the Naval Bill now being debated in the Senate.
