Abandonment of Battleship Modernization To Be Pressed In Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—(UP)—
Proposals for removal of U. S.
Marines from Nicaragua and for abandonment of the battleship modernization program will be pressed in the senate this week by Senator William H. King, Dem., of Utah.
These two Issues, tempered by widely scattered views on both the Democratic and Republican sides, will be thrust into an already tangled session in the first two days after congress reconvenes tomorrow.
RESOLUTION ANNOUNCED
King announced tonight he would introduce the following resolution tomorrow:
"Resolved: that it is the sense of the senate that the President should immediately withdraw from Nicaragua the armed forces of the United States.
Tuesday the senate under a special order, may take up a motion by King to reconsider a bill authorizing expenditure of $30,000,-000 for the modernization of the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idaho. The senate passed this measure without debate. King desires to kill it.
King is understood to have the sympathies of Senator William E.
Borah, Rep., Idaho, chairman of the Foreign Relations committee.
The recent killing of eight Mar ines and 11 so-called insurgents prompted King's resolution.
The Utah senator said the incident resulted from “ill-advised political and military intervention for economic reasons.” The state department said it was an “am bush by bandits.”
MAY BE SIDETRACKED King's resolution may remain i only a personal protest buried by wolk on Previous Issues, has de-
other legislation, but his move | «j*?edwthe_ «v« to reconsider the battle ship bill probably will strike up fiery debate, because it challenges a building program outlined under the London naval treaty which President Hoover proclaimed. New Year's Day. Its supporters described the bill as an unemployment relief measure which would put many men to work.
The bill authorizes spending $10,000,000 on each of the three b*g warships to modernize their engines and install decks and armor against air and submarine hazards. It was passed Dec. 8, when several opponents were absent.
