yesterday by the senate commerce
committee with the examination Of
| George j. Baldwin, chairman of the
board Of the international shlpbuild-

tract to build upwards OF zoo fabri-
Gated steel ships for the govern

Mr.. Baldwin amplified mis- oral
testimony, vigorously answering
charges Of mismanag cement and eX-
travagance at Hog Island, with a
written statement which was made
a part Of the records, and which eX-

tween the American international
corporation and the shipping board.
He said the corporation is in fact

building OF the yard, and that the
only money it will receive viii be

in its entirety for this transaction
up to date is only something in ex-
