| Navy To Get Only
Four Billions
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Senator
Saltonstall (R.-Mass.) said today a
Senate-House conference commit
tee has agreed on a navy appro
priation bill allowing expenditure
of “just over four billion dollars”
in the current fiscal year.
He said House conferees have
agreed to accept part of Senate in
creases that will allow the navy
395,000 men and 42,000 officers
during the 12-month period begin
ning last July 1.
He said the compromise also
provides $78,000,000 contract au
thority for purchase of new naval
aircraft for anti-submarine patrol
and reconnaissance.
Saltonstall told reporters:
"I think that this will give us!
the numbers of men! ships and air
craft needed for an effective fight-!
ing navy during the next year.
T->-> cuts will delay some of tljg
ultra-modernization plans such as
increased radar installations.”

Initial experimental teats , of. a
transparent, plastic ‘‘greenhouse
designed to provide blast and
weather protection for the open
bridge of combat ships are being
completed aboard the USS Man
chester, light cruiser now enroute
to Newport, Rhode Islond, from
the Mediterranean.
Designed and constructed by
personnel of the Naval Shipyard,
Boston, Mass., the experimental
“greenhouse” being used for the
tests consists of panel sections of
plastic in a metal framework that
is mounted over the forward sec
tion of the open bridge.
The tests ai'e completely experi
mental, and will be followed by
further studies and tests in an ef
fort to devise a completely satis
factory transparent covering for
personnel on the exposed bridge
of warships who now have no pro
tection from the weather, gun
blasts and fumes.
Two types of plastic paneling
were used in the blast-and-wea
ther hood erected on the Manches
ter bridge. They are: lucite, manu
factured by the Plastics Depart
ment of E. I. DuPont de Nemours
& Co., Arlington, New ^Jersey; and
plexiglass, manufactured by the
Rohm & Haas Co., Philadelphia,
Pa.
