Having consulted Thomas Edison's son, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison, the President last week authorized bids for one about half the size and cost authorized by Congress. Limited in length to 325 feet, in gas capacity to 1,000,000 cubic feet, the new ship will in fact be little more than an experiment helpful to future commercial development and perhaps useful for coast patrol...
