700 NOW BUILDING
American Tonnage at Sea viii Even
tuaIly Come Under Govern
ment Ownership.

Washington, Aug 3.-The Shipping
Board today decided to comamndeer
Immediately all ships on the stocks in
American shipyards and hasten their
construction This means the seizure
of about 200 vessels of more than
100000 tons, about 1,024,0O0 tons of
which Is being built by British inter
ests.
The communicating of ships on the
stocks will be followed by an order
placing under Government control all
Ameriean-owned ships on the seas,
this making II possible for the Govern
ment to direct their operations, In
the direction of this shipping the
Government will work in cooperation
with the allied Governments.
1t was said today that Rear Admiral
Capps, General Manager of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, who will be
in direct control of this phase of the
shipping program, was at work on the
commander order, and that 1t might
become effective tomorrow, or Mon
day at the latest.
1t is proposed that the Government.
in order to hurry construction, shall
take title to the contracts and the
the hulls in the present stage of CON
struction. This will make it possible
for the Government to put extra
shifts of men at work and guarantee
additional pay for overtime.
