: The number of men employ
ed will depend on how quickly
operations get under way. If
the yards are opened in three
months the number of men
employed will be smaller than
if they are opened in six
months, due to the fact that
the "a ships must be complet-
ed within "a months after the
contracts are signed.
Contract Awarded
A contract with the New
port News firm to build rs
ships has been awarded by
the U. S. Maritime commits
sion. The first vessel will be
built at Newport News to
iron out any difficulties which
may arise from design and
the others will be erected here.
The yards will be operated
by a corporation formed in
North Carolina by the New

War

BY KIRKE L.. SIMPSON

Prime Minister ChurchilPs ex-
traordinary send-off to Lord Hall
fax, new British ambassador to
Washington, deserves close atten-
ton for two prime reasons.
It put into words British fears
that unless the American aid
pledged by the Roosevelt admin
stration is received the war may
result in an inconclusive stale
mate.
1t revealed, also, that Britain is
sending more than a new ambas-
sador to replace the late Lord
Lothian. She is assigning a key
member of her innermost wal
council, a crown minister, a man
who, as Churchill said, 'knoWs all
our secrets"
