<i>Title:</i> Naval leaders ask Congress for more armament. Washington, D.C., Jan. 8. Photographed today at the initial meeting of the House Naval Affairs Committee are, left to right: Lewis Compton, Assistant to Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison, Secretary Edison, with Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations standing in rear. Following a brief statement by Secretary Edison, Admiral Stark urged the Committee to approve a bill by Chairman of the Committee Carl Vinson to give the Navy 25 percent more tonnage, 6,000 more planes at a cost of $1,300,000,000. Without such increase, he said, the U.S. will be 'relatively weak in naval power at the end of the year'
