Grace Dugan. Britain Will Make Use of Old Cruisers London OP) Great Britain announced today she would convert five overage cruisers into "anti-aircraft ships." The cruisers, which will be saved from the scrapheap through invocation of the escalator clause of the expiring London naval treaty, thus will become the first such crait in history. Britain's decision was communicated to the United States and Japanese embassies a short time after Japan had served notice she would keep submarines of a tonnage corresponding to Britain's overage cruisers. In giving formal notice of the retention, the 'British note pledged they would be kept In service for only five years "of peace." Authorities said the present six-inch guns would be replaced with lighter and more suitable anti- aircraft armament. London (JP) Great Britain was depicted today as leading a huge world-wide naval armament race with 99 warships under construction or planned.

The United States, with 83, was said to be second in the new edition of "Jane's Fighting Ships," foremost authority on warships. The publication drew a picture of an unrestrained race for naval supremacy ready to be thrown into high gear on Jan. 1 when the old Washington and London naval treaties expire. The United States contemplated two new battleships, Jane's stated, carrying the largest guns of any warships afloat. The American government, the New York book said, will install 16-inch guns on the new men-of- war.

If Jane's is correct, it means that Washington has determined Japan would not consent to the 14-inch limitation Imposed by the 1936 London treaty between the United States, France and Great Britain. It has been generally expected the United States would not choose between 16 and 14 Inch guns after April 1, 1937, when Japanese consent or disapproval to the treaty limitation must be given. Great Britain, Jane's said, would lay down two big ships immediately after the first of the year. Maxi mum armament for the, British ves sels was reported to be 14-inch guns. The year book said Italy ranked third with 66 warships being built or planned, and cited 43 for France, 39 for Germany and 33 for Japan.

Japan plans four new battleships, Jane's stated with a probable speed of 30 knots. RED LUCAS IS LISTED AS EARLY 'HOLDOUT' Nashville, Tenn.
