WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. A surprise move by Chairman Vinson Ga.) today to cut $500,000,000 from the proposed $1,300,000,000 fleet expansion program caught high navy officials somewhat off-guard, but won strong bi-partisan support in the house naval committee. The slash, affecting only combatant ships, would eliminate destroyers from the new program and would hold the navy to just the warships it could factory at Waltham Abbey, twelve miles north of London early today after an authoritative source said sabot Times Staff Photo.

KELLY PLEDGES ILLINOIS VOTES FOR A 3D TERM 58 Delegates Promised by Chicago MayorGarner Will Run Anyway By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Jan.

18. Third-term boomers made new claims today of Roosevelt-pledged delegates, while those who want to nominate John Nance Garner for the presidency reiterated that his name would go before the national democratic convention "regardless of who runs." Mayor Edward J. Kelly, of Chicago, strode out of the White House to tell reporters that the Illinois delegation would "all be for Roosevelt whether he wants it or not." If Kelly's prediction materializes, that will be fifty-eight Illinois votes at the convention. The delegates are picked in April. Earlier this week, Arthur L.

Lim-bach, democratic state chairman in Ohio, said that while his state's fifty-two delegates nominally were pledged to Senator Vic Donahey as a. "favorite son," there votes would be cast for Mr. Roosevelt if there should be an early swing of the convention toward him. Donahey Is Undecided Donahey said today he had not decided whether to file in the Ohio primary as a "favorite son" candidate, but "when the right time comes I will make up my mind whether there is any necessity for a favorite son candidate." He has until March 15 under Ohio election law to make his decision. These developments encouraged the third-term advocates to make estimates of their delegation strength as of this date.

They arrived at a figure of about 250 of the necessary 551 needed for a majority, with the convention date still an uncertain but considerable time away.

The authoritative British Press association asserted: "It Is understood the authorities had received anonymous information that "accidents might happen" in the Waltham Abbey factory as well as at others in different parts of England." Workers Are Injured An undisclosed number of workers in the plant suffered injuries, most of them announced as slight, and there were minor casualties resulting from broken glass and other debris sent flying over a wide area by the force of the blasts. Three soldiers were killed and a number injured by two accidents In other parts of England.

He contended this authorization represented "legislation" and therefore should not be in an appropriation bill.

Representative Warren N. C), vho was presiding, upheld him and cited house precedents to back up the ruling. Taber told newsmen that his action was just a starter and that he would treat all future matters of similar nature the same way. The New Yorker contended that If government agencies needed more money it should be appropriated outright irjtead of giving them permission to spend it before they have it. Just what the effect of his campaign would be on the whole fiscal set-up was not clear.

Taber said in contract authorizations were in appropriation bills last year and that he understood approximately that same amount would show up in this year's money measures.

Indications were that some of the cruisers would be the navy's biggest, to meet the challenge presented by Germany's "pocket battleships." Cut Almost in Half The total estimated cost of fighting ships in the new program would be about $547,000,000, compared with estimated for the seventy-seven warships in the original bill.

There was no indication at today hearing on the program that any change would be made in the sections authorizing 2,395 additional airplanes, thirty-six "blimps" and thirty-one auxiliary vessels, estimated to cost about $210,000,000. It was learned that Vinson drafted the revised bill after consultation with several republican and democratic members of the committee yesterday. He was said to be aiming to offset rising congressional criticism that the original measure sought to bind future congresses to a six-year building program. "It's cornfield lawyer sense," Vinson told the committee. "The navy wants to see the whole program put on the books at this time, but I think it is wise not to pile up too much construction ahead of the time that it can be actually carried out." Rear Admiral Samuel Robinson, coordinator of naval shipbuilding, agreed that the curtailed program was all the navy could complete in the next three years without expansion of existing facilities.
