wATR NOTES

Because of the holiday, Amateur Night was heard on WATR last night (Friday) instead of Thurs day :. There's lots of room yet for applicants. for next weeks show, which will return to the regular Thursday night schedule.
 Sam Elman, commercial man. ager ct WATR, has made a. close study of listener surveys conducted in this city and throughout the country, an. declares that the ra- dio listeners during the summer months this year are more in to- tai than those who listened in during the winter only two more years ago. And Sam knows his fig pres This upsets the common idea that most persons don't listen in during the hot-weather months.
 The male sextette of the Swe- dish Congregational church, Nau- gatuck, will offer another in its pleasing series over WATR Mon day night at 7:30 ... This ace group was discovered, as far as ,air possibilities are concerned, by F Il Repief, who gives the Naugatuck news daily on WATR.

H. C. Ferguson, Newport News
Builder, Says Files Don't
Show All Bidders
international News Service


Evidence before the munitions
committee that merchant marine
work under the JoneS-White act
was split evenly among the New
port News, New York and Bethle-
hem shipbuilding companies was
challenged today by Homer L.
Ferguson, president of the New
port News firm.
Mr.. Ferguson said this evidence
purported to show that Newport
News got $33,000,000 worth of
work, Bethlehem $33,00O,000 and
New York $3l, 100000. That data,
he asserted, was incorrect. He
declared
"The statement taken from
the Shipping Board files, fails
to take into account five ships
built at Newport News at con-
tract prices aggregating S16,.
$4,000.
FOUR OTHERS BID
can examination of the ex.
hibit, which was placed into
the record by your secretary,
shows that the awarding of this
work 1.-THE whole JOnes-White
act prOgram) was not confined
to the three big companies and
that bids on much of this work
were submitted by Federal, Sun,
Spear and Maryland drydock.
Federal obtained S16,OOO,OOO
worth of work and Sun around
$5,OOO,OOO.
"The five vessels which were
omitted in the compilation from
the Shipping Board files and
which were built by the New
port News company, were just
as much a part of the program
under the Jones White act as
those named by the committee"
RECITES ALL BUSINESS
Mr.. Ferguson read into the
record a lengthy statement set
ting forth the business opera
tons of his concern. He con-
cluded by citing a total business
of $40 100000 in ships under the
Jones-White program.
Roger williams, vice president
of the Newport News company,
denied what he termed Infer.
ences" in evidence in the files
that the Newport News was
guilty of collision. He said:
There was no collision
whatever. The records will
show this is true"
