WALSH RAPS NAVY
ON POLICY ISSUES
Says It Made 'Grievious En-
ror' In Releasing 20 Boats
Great Britain

WASHINGTON, June 19.-R-
Senator Walsh D-Mass), chairman
of the senate naval committee, re-
buked the navy on two matters Of
policy today, contending that it wan
prepared to guarantee a 10 per
cent profit an 81, 900, 600, 900 Of pend
in. ship-building contracts and that
it had made a "grievious error
in releasing 20 boats to the British.
He told reporters that the profit
disclosure, which he termed sen
sationaI' in it's implications, was
made to a closed session of the
committee by Rear Admiral S. M.
Robinson, chief of the bureau of
engineering.
This MEANS" Walsh said, that
if the law is not changed and the
methods now contemplated r
used, 10 per cent profit will be.
guaranteed to these ship-builders
on a non-competitive contract let
by negotiation. The law never
contemplated anything like that"
Ol1QCl lllC tAA1oOAl. Qll11lAS4 oSI,
he said, profits of shipbuilders hold
ing government contracts are linn
tied to 10 per cent, but he added
that this was a maximum and
could not be considered a guar
antee.
Walsh's criticism of the British
transaction followed a navy de-
partment announcement that it had
made it possible for Great Britain
to take delivery on 20 torpedo boas
and submarine chasers being man.

WORK ON 0NSL0W
SCHOOL PLANNED
Construction OF Jacksonville
Unit Will Get Under
Way On July 1

JACKSONVILLE, June 19.-Re-
building of Jacksonville high school
will be started by the WPA July l,
it was announced today by Super
intendent A. H. Hatsell, of OnsloW
county schools, following a confer
ence with Bruce Simmons, head
of the WPA in Onslow.
The WPA project providing for
replacement of the huge consolid-
ated school, destroyed by fire Feb
ruary IA, will cost a total OF $1O4,-
719. The federal government will
spend $51, 1856 and Onslow county
$50, 804.
Although the WPA has desig.
mated the school project No. l IN
the county, Superintendent Hartsell
said he did not hope to get into the
new classrooms before the first of
January. However, school will not
be delayed in the fall, he said, add
ing that classes would be resumed
in September under the same plan
they were conducted after the old
building burned.
According to present plans, class
es will be held in new Georgetown
school, erected for the colored pop
ulation and loaned by them for use
by white students, and in the Com
munity House and churches until
classrooms of the rebuilt structure
can be occupied.
The WPA and board of education
have called for bids on materials,
and are transferring labor now, to
be ready to start the project in
full force July /.
First job will be tearing down
the thick walls from the top down
to the first floor. The standing
walls of the first floor will be used
in the rebuilt structure.
Classrooms will be built first and
occupied. Then the auditorium will
be replaced, Mr.. Hatsell said. La
ter, it is hoped to add a 16-room
addition to the structure.
In their conference, Simmons and
Hatsell worked out plans for oper-
ating th%ree-eight hour shifts of lab
orers on the project to rush it to
completion. l

Germans took Toul and LuneVllle,
both key fortresses. They lie on

Luneville is historically signifc-

of 1901 was signed, between france
on one side and Germany and Aus

all Germany west of the Rhine was
