 MT. Roosevelt said he felt certain that the $40O,000, 900 item for de. fense installations on naval and pri- vate ships did not mean the arm- ing of merchant ships.
 It means, rather, installation of degaussing equipment - a1ti-mag- netic mine equipment - and con- version of certain vessels for lla- val use, he said. He added that when you convert ship into certain types of naval vessels the cost of conversion sometimes exceeds the original cost of construction.

 A board panel was scheduled to meet today to consider the strike of United Automobile Workers (AFL) at the Sealed Power Corp, Muskegon Heights, Mich, producer of submarine and tank parts. The union called the strike after reject ing NOME rcommendations and a request of AFL officials to postpone the walkout.
 Federal labor conciliators sought to settle dispute at the National Automotive Fibers company plant at Detroit. A strike of United Au- tomobile Workers (CTO) created an upholstery shortage and forced the Chrysler Corp. to close four plants employing 17,600 men. No defense production was affected.

flowed over me. If the chief were
