CONSTRUCT ANOTHER
ORDNANCE FACTORY
WHILE NEGOTIATIONS FOR BUILD
ING OF A BIG PLANT FOR
MAKING HoWlTzERS
Assured, But Government Is Not
Ready To Give Out Details
of Project.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington - While negotiations
for the construction of another great
ordnance factory for the Government
are in progress, published reports that
a deal for the building of such a plant
by the Midvale Steel Co. had been con-
cluded were said at the War Depart
ment to be untrue The project is still
under discussion, but has not yet
reached a point where an announce
ment can be made. The plant contem-
plated would be designed primarily
it is understood, for the construction
of heavy howitzers, the short-barreled
guns now used in field operations and
for coast defenses. The new plant
would be supplementary to the Neville
Island ordnance factory, to be built
by the United States Steel Co., where
long-range, long barreled heavy can
non are to be the principal output.
Details as to the cost of the howitzer
factory are not available, nor has any
lHIlihdlloh pOCH 5ifoh az ~ tho SASN
selected for it's location. Since it is
to be a permanent part OF the ma
tonal defense system, however, 1t will
not be placed within 200 miles of tbs
Atlantic coast. That distance has been
fixed by the general staff as the min
imum requirement to protect the plant
from possible enemy operations off the
coast.
