 committee Of experts now is on the Pacific coast looking over availa- ble ground. after long trip through the south on a similar mission. Their recommendations are expected to be made soon.
 Virtually all of the new ships will be 7500 tons. and many of them will be tankers for the oil trade. Urgent need for ships is felt nowhere more severely at the present than in the lack of tank steamers for carrying fuel oil to Atlantic coast ports for shipment to the interior. Most of the existing tank steamers have been taken from coastwise trade for serv- ice with the navy.
