Navy Applies Pressure
To Complete 6S Ships
Ahead of Schedule
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The first new American battleship
in 10 years slides into the water to-
morrow at the start of drive to
speed warship construction un-
matched in intensity since World
War days.
: The 35,00O-ton U. S. S. Washing
ton will be launched at the Philadel-
phia Navy Yard. 1t is the first of
68 warships still under the rivet-
Ing hammer which the Navy, by day
and night work, intends to COM
plete months ahead of their orig
inal schedules.
Meanwhile, two shipbuilders SUBJ
mitted proposals to the Navy today
to cut six months from the time
now required to build destroyers.
Reduced by Six Months.
The concerns, the Bath (MeD Iron !
Works and the Federal Shipbuilding
e. Dry Dock Co., Kearny, N j., |
bidding on four l,630-ton destroyers,
offered to complete them in l8
months. whereas "a months is the |
shortest construction time under |
present contracts.
The Bath Iron Works bid S., 1897 900
on each of two destroyers, the first
to be completed in l8 months and
the second two months later. The
adjustments were made during con-
struction for changes in most of ma
terial and labor.
The Kearny yard bid $5,700,0 900
on each of two destroyers, to be
completed also in 18 and 20 months,
respectively, with an alternate bid |
of s5,277 900 allowing for adjust
ments.
Bids were asked in advance of final
congressional action on pending ap-
propriations with view of saving
months in time of construction.
The four destroyers were in
cluded in the Navy's original ship
building program of "a ships for
the next fiscal year, which subse-
quently was expanded. -Four other
destroyers are expected to be as
signed to navy yards.
The record appropriation for the |
sea forces now before Congress in |
cludes more than 100000, 900 to be |
expended solely to speed the trans
formation of steel into battlecraft. |
AS fast as the fleet reinforce
hn
than a dozen crowded shipyards, |
keels for other craft will take their |
place.
North CarOlina's Launching.
Two weeks hence the Washlngton's |
twin-sister, the U. S. S. North Caro- !
lima, under construction at the New
York Navy Yard for two and
half years, is to be launched Other
vessels to be launched or completed
this year are destroyers and auxili-
aries
Despite the new pressure for
speed, the two battleships will not
be ready to take their places with
the fleet for more than a year.
Nevertheless, day and night work |
will save months in their completion |
and in the building of the six addi-
tional battleships already laid down
or soon to be under construction.
American warship production was
thrown into high gear by the new
est turn of events in Europe-with-
out awaiting final congressional ap-
proval of the extraordinary appro-
priations and special legislation
asked by President Roosevelt.
Under instructions of Assistant |
Secretary Lewis Compton, some of
the eight navy yards engaged in
shipbuilding already have started
day and night work. Fifteen thou
sand civilian workers are to be added |
within three months.

completely forgot that it was mid
January with most of the nation
gripped in a Sub-ZerO cold wave
and the mercury at the twelve de-
gree marker in the merry old
port of New York. With our feet
against the radiator and a piping
hot cup of coffee steaming ON the
table we had no idea that the in
vitatiOn prOffered by Harry Men

lowing Sunday. Frankly, we'll
admit we had thought the boat
ride in the far-Off lazy days of
June.
Thus, it was quite a surprise
when on the night before our
sail the skipper called to remind
us of our date and to tell us he
would pick us up at five the next
morning. We shivered in our
steam-heated apartment as we re-
called piled-up ice jams in the
waters Of New York Bay that we
had seen from the subway on the
Brooklyn Bridge. But we ration
allied. If winter boat rides are
considered sports then we, as a
devoted follower of the Spartan
ideal, must indulge in this merry
festivity.
AS Harry's horn hOnked out
side our door the thermometer
registered eleven above. Our orc
thought was that the police would
surely pick the two of us up on
some charge of indecent exposure
or something like that. Really it
was a crime to go out. We told
the missus to tell any friends who
called that we had gone to a
Turkish Bath and not under any
circumstances, to whisper that we
had gone for a boat ride.
Imagine our surprise, then,
when we reached the pier. There
were hundreds of people, all sizes,
ages, colors, creeds. There were
scores of boats, skiffs, dorries
dinghies, sloops and sailboats. II
