HOG ISLAND YARD

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-The

from the American International
Shipping Corporation for S1,sOQ,OOO is
receiving serious consideration, ac-

by Charles PieZ, director general of

The transfer of the Hog Island
yard was suggested several months
ago, but no formal action was taken.
However, with the reconstruction
plans formulating, Mr.. Piez stated
he believed ii a good move for the
Government to acquire the ship yard,
although he expressed the opinion
that the Government would never
get the full money value of the
enormous expenditures at the ship
yard. -...
