...program will cost $740,000,000. It is the first of four legs of the 20-year Navy program totalling $2,580,000,000, as outlined by Secretary Wilbur (TIME, Dec. 26). Last week Secretary Wilbur wrote the Naval Affairs Committee that he has made a mistake in his previous communications to that body. He had said the 20-year program would cost the U.
