Washington. April 80. (UP)—Foes of President Roosevelt's $1,156,000,- 000 naval expenslon program to¬ night claimed success In toning the bill BO as to eliminate possi¬ bility of the United States taking the lead In the world armament race. Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass., of the Senate naval affairs committee, accepted "in principle" an amendment which would re¬ strict the tonnage of battleships under the new program to 35,000 tons, unless it was determined that a foreign power was constructing larger ones. The President's program author¬ izes battleship construction total¬ ing 135.0(X), sufficient for three 45,000-ton dreadnaughts. Senator Arthur H, Vandenberg, R., Mich., offered an amendment which would restrict U, S, dread- naughts to 35,000 tons, unless It was determined In conferences with other signatories to the London naval treaty that the 35,000-ton limitation was no longer being ob¬ served. Walsh asked that the President be given discretionary power to determine whether the 33,000-ton limit is being exceeded by any nation, contending that conferences may fail to produce Information which the United States should have. "I have no doubt that we will reach an agreeable solution," Walsh said concerning the Vandenberg proposal. "I don't want to go Into the business ot constructing 45,000-ton battleships unless it is required by the action of another power," he added.

Washington. April 80. (UP)—Foes of President Roosevelt's $1,156,000,- 000 naval expenslon program to¬ night claimed success In toning the bill BO as to eliminate possi¬ bility of the United States taking the lead In the world armament race.
Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass., of the Senate naval affairs committee, accepted "in principle" an amendment which would re¬ strict the tonnage of battleships under the new program to 35,000 tons, unless it was determined that a foreign power was constructing larger ones.
The President's program author¬ izes battleship construction total¬ ing 135.0(X), sufficient for three 45,000-ton dreadnaughts.
Senator Arthur H, Vandenberg, R., Mich., offered an amendment which would restrict U, S, dread- naughts to 35,000 tons, unless It was determined In conferences with other signatories to the London naval treaty that the 35,000-ton limitation was no longer being ob¬ served.
Walsh asked that the President be given discretionary power to determine whether the 33,000-ton limit is being exceeded by any nation, contending that conferences may fail to produce Information which the United States should have.
"I have no doubt that we will reach an agreeable solution," Walsh said concerning the Vandenberg proposal.
"I don't want to go Into the business ot constructing 45,000-ton battleships unless it is required by the action of another power," he added.
Vandenberg was optimistic over
