LARGE NUMBER
REGISTER FOR
CITY ELECTION
GRAND TOTAL OF REGIS
TRANTs ON CITY BOOKS
SHOWN TO EXCEED SIX
THOUSAND VOTERS

Registration of voters for the
Nov. IL city elections this year
climbed over the 5000 mark to
top the 1899 figure by more than
1000, exceeding the 1887 total
by nearly $500. Registration Su-
pervisor Eduardo C. Gomez an
nounced today.
Complete lists of registered
voters for the entire city showed
a grand total of 6,193, but cleo
ton officers explained that the
figure will be reduced during the
next week as persons who have
died or moved away are elimin-
ated from the lists.
Already completed, the list for
the First district, as an example,
showed Sol qualified voters,
while the entire registered list
for that district contained 705
names.
The registration lists by dis
tricts follow: First district, 705;
Second district, 1897; Third dis
trict, SOS; Fourth district, l,645;
Fifth district, 1,06l, and Sixth
district, 100; total, 6,I93.
In 1899 the First district had
qualified list of 556, with 5,127
qualified for the entire city,
while in 1887, the city had only
alta qualified voters.
Absentee voting started yes
terday in the city clerks office
at the city hall, and will continue
until Saturday, November 8.
1t is expected that there will
be a large number voting an
absentee ballot this year due to
the fact that many of the voters
are members Of boat crews on
various vessels that are called
out unexpectedly quite often,
which gives the voter in question
an opportunity to cast his ballot,
due to the fact that he may not
be here when the election comes
off.
At the same time there are
many others who viii be out of
town on election day, who will
be accorded the same privilege
Due TO the large number of
candidates offering for election,
especially for city council inter
est continues to mount, and il is
expected that an unusually large
number of electors viii turn out

privilege of casting their bal
lots for their choice in selecting

newspapers and official spokes-
men today heaped bitter scorn
on President Roosevelt in the
wake of his fighting Navy Day

Berlin newspapers. particular

with such epithets as criminal

while an official spokesman said
the speech would have been
downright humorous if II had
not been for its serious imphca-
lions.
President Roosevelfs reference
to two documents which he said
proved Adolf Hitler has planned
to divide South and Central
America into five subject states
and abolish religion drew angry
retorts from all Berlin sources.
Rome newspapers said the
speech undoubtedly means Amer

toward war on the part Of the

spokesman, said the President

CONCRETE BOATS
ARE GREAT DEAL
MORE THAN JOKE
ONE HUNDRED ARE TO BE
BUILT TO REPLACE vARI-
Gus OTHER SHIPS OF STEEL
STRUCTURE
BY JACK sTINNETT
IP Feature Service Write


WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Be-
hind the major efforts of national
defense, which got most of the
publicity, is a minor one which
almost invariably causes a roar of
layman laughter and a disgusting
snort about What the heck are
those guys in Washington up to
anyway" It's the construction
of concrete ships to receive the
shipping shortage.
The United States Maritime
commission now has bids on hand
for 100 such ships and before YOU
join the 'snorters," let me present
the case for concrete ships. Since
nobody contends that concrete
ships ever viii replace steel ones,
or that fleet of concrete freight
ers would ever be more than sup
Elemental in an emergency.
there's no need to go into any
great debate on it.
In the first place, the 100 ships
now proposed are oil tankers or
barges-withcut motors. But they
are ships, nevertheless. A floating
freighter of 5000 to 5000 tons, be-
tween 300 and 400 feet long, with
a 40-odd foot beam is no rowboat,
even if it does have to have a tug
or so alongside to get it places.
An official of one shipbuilding
firm (the Newport Concrete Snip
building Coz who built concrete
ships in the World War claims
these barges viii cost only about
half what steel ones would He
also told me he had put into his
bid an agreement TO deliver the
first concreter in 30 days from
date of contract and a ship a week
thereafter from a shipyard with
only eight ways for as long as the
government wanted to take them
If he could live up to that, and
only half of the 60-odd firms also
bidding on the proposed 100 tank
ers could match it, think what
would have happened to our po-
tential oil shortage if such a ship
building program had been start
ed last spring to replace the
motorship tankers turned over to
Great Britain.
As for concrete ships, they are
nothing new. There were about
80 built during the World War
and although the building of II
by the U. S Shipping Board at a
cost Of some $4,000, 900 has been
often as a fiaSco. the Is
built for the Army proved some
thing else again.
For instance. the trim little
river steamer, Gen D. H. RUcker.
completed in 1919, piled the Po-
tomac for nearly 20 years between
Fort Hamilton and the Navy Yard
and it probably would be IN serv-
ice yet if it hadn't caught fire and
burned (not the concrete of
course, the wooden superstruc-
ture).
An interesting item in cOnnec-
ton with the General Rucker IS
that in 1887, after It had been IN
service 10 years. the army Of
ficially reported the total cost of
repair and maintenance Of its hull
had been S35.

Curtailed by Priorities

Manufacturers of brand d
products have through the years
built up nationwide dealer and
distributor organizations, and
in lines which have been cur
tailed by priorities the manu-
facturers are scratching their
heads TO find ways and means of
providing their distributors and
dealers with items which will
assure sufficient turnovers TO
earn their overhead during the
emergency. one device has been
TO promote public interest IN
using these manufacturers rep
resentatives as agencies for SER
vicing old products.
The reason that the blow of
priorities and ALLEGATIONS falls
heavier on merchandisers than
on manufacturers is that in
many instances manufacturers,
whose production of civilian
products has been curtailed, are
able TO shift over to defense
production. But the guns, tanks,
ships and planes thus produced
do not go through the regular
diStribItiVp channels
