Hog Island Will Look Into
Two Other Yards

Washington. March 10.

A thorough investigation of the On-
cratons of tho Merchants Shipbuilding
Company, at Bristol, Pa. and the Sub
marine Boat Company, at Newark, n. j.,
Is to be made by the Senate Commerce
Committee just as soon as 1t completes
it's inquiry into the work done at the
Hog Island shipyard, Senator Fletcher,
chairman of the committee, announced
today.
The investigation of these two yards
will be as rigid as that Of Hog Island,
he said. II will go into the contract
made with the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. the money spent for materials
and salaries and every other develop
ment.
1t is probable the committee will in
spect the Bristol and Newark yards
as II did the Hog Island yard. The in
dury into the other two yards grows
out Of the insistcncc Of several of the
committee members that In fairness TO
the American International Company,
which has charge Of the Hog Island
undertaking, the other two yards should
have the same sort of vigorous investi-
CATION The committee expects to con-
clude it's Hog Island inquiry this. week
and to commence investigating Bristol
