We OF America who are grooming

The gravity OF the situation is outlined
in a cable TO the food controller of
Canada from French officials, trans

The supply of breadstutfs is causing
grave anxiety. Imports are very short.
our bread card machinery has been

the study of the administration in

[RepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, April s. Fifty million dollars will be asked of con- gross tomorrow by Chairman Hurley of the shipping board for development of concrete ship building. The plan is to establish at once five government yards, two on the Pacific coast and three in the south.
 As yet concrete ships are admitted frankly by experts to be "a gamble" because the behavior of such a vessel under load in a heavy sea is unknown. MT. Hurley and General Manager Piez of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, hold that in the present emergency every possible means of adding quickly to the war tonnage should be utilized.
 The concrete ship Faith built on the Pacific coast for private account, is almost ready to undertake a voyage. Engines probably will be installed by May l. Preliminary reports on the launching of the Faith" have been en- thusiastic.
 The s5o,0OO,0 900 requested will be spent almost entirely for ships. as each yard can be built for, perhaps, s25,000. The yards will have from four to seven ways each. Locations in the west and south will be sought to avoid moisture and cold which retard concrete pour ing. It was said authoritatively that the Pacific coast locations will be in southern California
 Plans for the new 7.500 tons vessels will be ready in six weeks. They will be equipped with oil burning recipro- eating engines, capable of driving the ship seven or eight knots an hour. which is regarded as fast enough for coastwise and non -hazardons service.
