After testifying today before the house^ naval committee on the naval^a^Ao priation bill Secretary T Ae\s authorized the statemex?^that contracts for "several i's(sMs" ot the new craft have be^v^laced with the Ford Motor pWmpany of Detroit. He desfcrirfd them as half way between a aestroyer and submarine cMaser* 200 feet lorn; and equipped with latest discoveries for Ajrnbating sub marines. All parts of ships except the engines are to be fabricated in Detroit and the parts shipped to seaboard, where thev will be as sembled. Changes in the Ford p'.ant to permit the handling ot the work have progressed so swiftly, Mr. Daniels said, that llto (litl f tTi.rinO Hnrionr tU/A uv. UV.IIVV.HMUUIUIJ; uic V.UU1IUK suminor are assured. The new vessels are expected to prove far superior to the chasers now in use. They will have steam power with a greater radius ol action, will be more seaworthy and will be able to carry heavier armament. It has developed that the latest German submarines are equipped with guns whicb outrange those oi small chasers and even some merchant ships. Henry Ford, president and principal owner of the Ford Company, recently placed before Secretary Daniels plans showing the practicability of converting a large part of his factory into a ship fabricating plant. Naval constructors had nvrdvrtl thr? Kit net ^ ,-a-w llllVOl OUUIliiUlllV; chaser and Rear Admiral Dauid W.

Y.) and Norfolk (Va.) stations. Five j housand men no v are at Bel- i 1am Bay and 16,000 at Norfolk. Secretary Daniels said the na- * v now has 95,000 men under iistruclion and, with the recommended increase, will have men nough to supply crews not on- ' y for the entire naval construe * ion program as now contem- ' ktted, but also for the hundreds '; 1 merchant ships which are to e placed under his supervision. ... . .^r-. _ .
