WASHINGTON, March 30.-launch-
ing of more ships in the month O.
March from American yards than they
built in the whole OF 1914 was an
nounced at the Shipping Board to-day
The number of ships launched was
thirty-six, with lightweight tonnage
of 2,786. The number of vessels com
pleted and delivered was eighteen, of a
dead wei ight tonnage of 162,200, with
the expectation that two more will be
delivered Mondey.
On the heels of this announcement
came the surprising news that Large
interests supposed to be the du
Points. have decided to engage in build
ing and operating wooden motor ships
for private account, on scale of great
magnitude. The company representing
this interest, styled the Atlantic K
Pacific, has arranged with the Shipping
Board for the immediate construction
of $50 3,00O-ton wooden vessels to be
propelled by sails and auxiliary Diesel
engines, giving them a speed of about
eight knots.
Senator Aids Plan
The arrangement with the Shipping
Board was made by Senator Charles l..
McNary, of Oregon, who has long been
interested in the problem Of providing
work for the shipyards of Oregon,
which have been greatly handicapped
hitherto by the attitude of the Ship
ping Board toward ships building for
private account.
ship programme, the board has not
been willing to let contracts for addi-
tioral ships as yet. On the other hand,
the yards were finding their ways
empty as they completed ships they
had under contract with private parties
and foreign governments. Good ship
building capacity was going to waste,
as American shipowners didn't care to
go to the expense of starting boats,
only, possibly, to have them comman-
dee-ed on the ways.
By arrangement between Chairman
Hurley and Senator McNary, the own
ers of the new feet are 70 be per-
mitted to retain title and operation of
their ships, subject to fixing of rates
by the Shipping Boarc, ana yards not
engaged in buiIdlng vessels for the
Shipping Board are 20 be free to con-
tract to build these vessels.
Can Be Built Quickly
About sixty-fve Pacific Coast ways
are ready for the new ships, which, be-
ing Of different design than the wood

lumber for the latter. Moreover, as
they are to have DIESEL engines and
electric hoist machinery, they viii not

any of the ships now building 1t is
calculated that they can be built in
about ninety days to a ship. and that
the first OF the fleet will take to the
water inside of four months.
These ships will be used in the deep
