CRUISER-CARRIERSHIP MAY BE BUILT

Hybrid Vessel, Able to Fight,

Yet Housing Airplanes,

Considered.

By the Associated Press.

Plans for a drastically differenthybrid fighting ship are occupying theNavy's designers. It would be a com-bination cruiser and aircraft carrier,

capable of engaging in a running battleas well as launching more than twodozen airplanes for scouting or combat

It would be of a radical design, inthat its large guns and their numberwould place it in the fighting class yeta landing platform on its deck wouldequip it to carry from three to sixtimes as many airplanes as the mostmodern cruisers now afloat.

Instead of launching its planes from

a distance and running from an at-

tack, as the existing carriers must, theproposed cruiser-carrier might get intothe melee and let its brood bomb andharrass the enemy while it Joinedorthodox cruisers and battleships inbattle.

While some "old-line” naval officershave expressed opposition to the cruiser-carrier because its effectiveness mightbe lessened by a reduction in armourto allow for the weight of airplanes, theBureau of Aeronautics said that a10,000-ton or even a 7,050-ton cruiser-carrier is the vessel that all nationssoon will be building because of theincreased effectiveness of airplanes inbattle.

Tentative plans for the vessel providefor as many as ten 6-inch guns, as well jas storage space of the planes. Aboutl70 per cent of the deck would be de-voted to a landing platform, while thenecessary superstructure and two triple jor quadruple gun turrets or houses jwould be grouped in the bow. Other :guns would be at the stern, while the janti-aircraft batteries would be on iplatforms at the sides of the landingplatform.

A ship tis this type, naval designerssay, would ri*ot come under the Londonnaval treaty definition of a carrier.The treaty classifies as a carrier anyship "designed for the specific andexclusive purpose of carrying aircrait.”

By June of 1932 the five-year navalaeronautics program will have beencompleted. There will be more than1,000 useful airplanes available, morethan 500 on ships. Completion of theauthorized 13,800-ton carrier would in-crease the total fleet strength to 575and the construction of cruiser-carrierswould bring the total aerial strengthafloat to a minimum of 800 airplanes.

BIG NAVYYARD CUTPLANNED FOR FALLVeterans to Get Preference

as 300 EmployesFace Discharge.

Some 300 employes of the Washingtonj Navy Yard will be discharged late inj the Summer or early in the Fall under jthe tentative program of the Navy De-

| partment, it was learned today, owingto the reduction in orders at the NavalGun Factory, due to the Navy's re-duced building program.

Naval officials are now going forwardwith plans which will embrace alltrades and men deemed least efficient jin the various trades will be given fur- 'loughs and later dropped from the roll,

j The reductions here are looked for inAugust or September. Reductions arelikewise slated for various parts of thecountry and the cuts locally will bringthe total up to about 700 men. of whom.

400 already have been separated fromthe Washington Navy Yard as the firstto feel the pinch of the slackening upprocess. Washington Navy Yard offi-cials recently explained that the 400reduction will take care of cuts pro-posed for this fiscal year, which endson June 30.

. Navy Department officials said todaythat the Washington Navy Yard hadtaken on some 1.500 additional menwhen new work came in for guns underthe cruiser building program. Therewere intimations that this work wasdone too rapidly, and that now a read- jjustment to lower personnel figures Is in iorder.

Under the separation policy being ;pursued here and elsewhere veterans of !the Government's armed forces will begiven preferential treatment in being

, permitted to remain on the pay roll, !provided their efficiency rating has ,

j reached 80 per cent.
