SHIP ORGANIZATION
READY FOR Squirt

charge Of production, was combined
with that OF general manager.
The trouble between Denman and
Cocktails, Mr.. Donald said. appeared to
be difference in temperament, and
the question as to who was in supreme
charge OF the building program and
permitted moro than Il dozen ships to
get away from the United States which
might have been retained if the boards
communicating order had been issued
earlier.
The committee appeared inclined to
criticize the change in specifications OF
wooden ships. The change. 1t de-
veloped, will reduce the cargo space Of
each ship by about 700 tons, but will
make tho vessel more seaworthy.
EXPLAINS BOARDS POLICY
ON BUILDING OF SHIPS
The boards policy respecting the re-
building of ships for private account
was explained at length by Chairman
Hurley, who said the board WAS firm
in it's stand against private construc-
ton OF steel ships. but was encourag-
ing wooden construction for private
owners when their building would not
interfere with the boards building
plans.
Doesn't your policy reduce con-
struction?" Senator Harding asked
NO" Mr.. Hurley replied. 1--WE have
enough contracts to keep all yards
working at maximum capacity, and
the building of ships outside upsets the
labor market. disrupts the delivery of
materials. and will not increase pro-
duction."
Asked how many vessels have been
completed for which contracts were
let by the board, Mr.. Hurley said only
ono had been finished. Forty-nine ves-
sells. lie said. have come from yards
already established since construction
was Communicated August 8.
when will the last ship called for
by your program Of 100000 tons con-
tractcd for, be dclivered?" asked Sena-
tor Jones.
II cannot say" Mt Hurley replied.
That depends entirely on conditions.
The first contract ship was finished a
short time ago within sixty four days
after construction was begun. We are
making every effort to speed I'D the
yards, and are meeting with gratifying
success in increasing labor shifts. Fab.
ricated steel ship construction will
give 4 tremendously increased produce
ton"
When will these yards begin con-
struction and how many OF them are
thcre?" Mr.. Hurley was asked.
There arc three" he replied, "and
ono already is laying down keels."
DISCOURAGED BY MANAGEMENT
or FLEET CORPORATION
Senators wanted to know particularly
If prospective builders seeking con-
tracts had been discouraged by tb.
management of the fleet corporation.
They were not if our Investigation
showed they could build ships" the
chairman replied. But we investi-
gated carefully tho standing and ,r.
pcriencc of every concern which sought
contracts and turned many down. Al
that. we got some deadwood and some
concerns have contracts which will
never he translated into ships. We
never have discouraged any experienced
shipbuilders.'
Has your program moved forward
as fast as it should and has all been
done TO speed up construction that
might have been done?" asked Senator
Harding. as Mr.. Hurley was leaving
the witness chair.
No" said Mr.. Hurley. nc VIC had
II all to go over again we would avoid
some of the delays"
