DEFENSE SPENDING
Bailey Says Southport Area
Highly Suitable for Naval
Repair Station

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29- R -
Possibilities of developing nation
al defense industries in North Car
olina-munitions plants in the west
and shipbuilding facilities along
the coast-were considered by the
states congressional delegation to-
day in a move for a greater share
of defense spending.
The delegation met at the call
of Senator Bailey, who recently
expressed the opinion North Caro-
lima was not getting an equitable
proportion of defense work.
J. T. Anderson of the state de-
partment of conservation and de-
velopment, representing Governor
J. M. Broughton, told the delega-
ton he had been informed there
had been a tentative decision to
locate a large munitions plant in
the western part of the state.
While not disclosing details, An
derson said he understood the site
under consideration was in the cid
Fort Marion vicinity and the state
was doing everything possible to
assure it's establishment.
Representative Weaver of Ashe-
vile, said there were number
of sites in his mountainous dis
trict availa lie for munitions
plants, pointing out there were
many protected valleys and am
pie power.
Weaver, discussing available
IVA power, expressed the opinion
power generated at IVA dams in
North Carolina should be used for
industries of that state instead OF
''being shipped to Tennessee.
Representative Barden of New
Bern, and Bonner of Washington,
outlined the advantages of their
districts for ship-building facilities.
Bailey, recalling that the New
port News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company had recently de-
cided to establish a plant at Will
said Morehead City, in
Barden's district, was an ideal To-
cation for other shipyards.

By RICHARD L. TURNER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-(Rj-A
proposal to place an outright ban
on the use of United States naval
vessels to convoy supplies to Brit
ain was rejected by the house
foreign affairs committee today as
it neared the end of its consider
alton of the lease-lend program

The committee did, however, ap-
prove an amendment stating that
the measure neither authorizes nor
permits the use of American ves-
sells as conveys.
Approves
This action was taken with the
approval of administration men,
bers, and Chairman Bloom Cd
N. " later explained that if the
constitution or any existing statute
authorizes the President to order
the Navy to escort duty, this
power would not be affected by
the language agreed upon.
Rep. Mundt (R.-S. d. unsuc-
cessfully. offered the amendment
specifically prohibiting convoy
duty. Secretary of War Stimson,
testifying before a senate COM
mittee earlier, had opposed such
a ban, saying that mo one can
tell what will happen in the course
of this war which is going on in
Europe and getting nearer and
nearer, in its effects, to this coun-
