SOVIET WARSHIPS
ATTEMPTS TO PLACE ORDERS IN U.S.A. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. WASHINGTON, September 18. Mr Sam Carp, claiming to be a brother-in-law of the Soviet Premier, M Molotov, testified to the Dies Committee on August 16 that the Soviet commissioned him in 1936 to purchase a hundred million dollars’ worth of battleships and other equipment here. When the negotiations for battleships failed, Russia sent a second commission in February, 1939. to negotiate for the construction of destroyers, plans for which were still with the State Department awaiting authorisation. The vessels were to be without guns. These were to be mounted later in Russia.
