coils in the main motor of battleship.
That's routine"
A typical incident occurred when
he was manager of the Navy Yard at
Puget Sound. A big ship had been
brought in for extensive mechanical
repairs. The officer in charge of that
sort of work reported that the repairs
were impossible without pulling out
all the damaged machinery. Some
younger engineer officers, however,
evolved plan for doing the job with
out removing the machinery. 1t in
volved methods that had never been
tried before. and was admittedly in
tricate and complicated. But Robinson.
his eyes lighting up. digested their
plan as fast as they could tell it to
him. and didn't even hesitate. Go
ahead" he told them, though the
senior engineer still insisted it wouldn't
work. 1t did.
When the Admiral goes home at
night, his relaxation is reading tech
nical treatises, then early to bed. The
pomp and splendor of being an ad-
miral leaves him cold. He ducks
launchings and other ceremonies when
ever he can. and hates getting dressed
up in the finery of his rank. Il want
one thing understood" he said, when
told him l was going to write this
article. "You don't get me to have my
picture taken in uniform"
Ono Nan In Two Jobs
WHEN Robinson became Chief of
the Bureau of Ships last year. he was
the first man ever to hold that job.
Previously it had been two jobs.
Building and maintaining ships had
been the province of the Bureau of
Construction and Repair; machinery
and all its related gear had been under
the Bureau of Engineering. This had
inevitably led to overlapping. bicker-
ing and jealousies. And the emergency
was too great to let that situation 90
on. Admiral Robinson became chief
of the whole works.
No man had ever faced such an
assignment. 1t meant that he was to
build navy bigger than any other
country had ever built in the worlds
history - and in hurry. And the
facilities, the men and the manage
ment we're all lacking.
Facilities meant. first of all, ship
yards. We had our navy yards. and a
half a dozen private shipyards that
we're accustomed to building naval
vessels. They would all have to be
drastically expanded to the utmost,
and still they wouldn't do the job.
Robinson had a survey made, and
found ITO smaller shipyards dotted
about the country which were sound
and reputable. presumably capable of
building ships of one sort or another
for the Navy. He called in their
owners, found out what they could do
and put it up to them, not only to
build ships but to get the American
competitive spirit into the work.
Hs Gets Results
IoDAY. all up and down our coasts
and along the Great Lakes, little ship
yards are vying with each other to
turn out vessels and lighters by the
hundreds. And if you add in the little
rescue boats. the launches and all the
miscellaneous smaller craft. the total
mounts into the thousands. This in
addition to more than $50 big war
ships under construction in the bigger
yards.
But besides shipyards, facilities

BRITISH COMMENT GRIM

That was the first grim COM
ment from authoritative British
sources today when news reached
London that Yugoslavia has al
ligned itself with the Axis powers.
Implicit in this reaction was a
warning that British forces may
make YngloSlavia- battle-ground
should German troops enter Yugo-
Slavian territory.
In this connection. the London
Daily Express affirmed today that
Britain's middle eastern army has
been strongly reinforced IN recent
weeks with planes, guns and
mechanical units.
Events are moving toward a eli
max in the eastern Mediterranean,
the paper said. and within a short
time British troops may be facing
the German army in Bulgaria S
Struma Valley.
From a usually authentic quar-
ter came reports that Soviet sub
marines have left the Black Sea
for Greek waters and that Soviet
submarines for some time have
been operating alongside Nazi L.
