Shipyard Made Profit
Of 40o6 on Work for
U. s., Senators Told
'Offered to Give Some
OF 1t Bock,' OfficioI
Says ot Hearing
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
An official of the Todd Shipyard
Corp. acknowledged before Senate
committee yesterday that his COM
pany'S profits on some Government
ship repairs has ranged as high as
40 per cent.
James E. Barnes, Washington rep
resentative of the concern, quickly
explained, however, that the reason
was the basing of charges on much
smaller volume of work than was
finally given the company.
When great volume of new work
was awarded. he said, profits scared
and the company agreed to readjust
the rates so that profits would be
only 10 per cent on future work.
In response to questions from
Hugh Fulton, counsel for the Sen
ate Defense Investigating Commit
tee, Mr.. Barnes conceded that the
Todd profits on the first of the repair
work had been outrageous"
Offered to Give 1t Back.
"We offered to give some of it
back" he added, "but our lawyers
advised us that we couldn't give it
back because We would have to pay
income tax on it anyway"
At the same time. he said. even
these profits did not compare with
those of World War days.
I'm the World War; he said. "if
it hadn't been for taxes we couldn't
have handled our profits with a
steam shovel"
Mr.. Barnes testified that Todd had
received Government and British
contracts for 306 ships at an esti-
mated construction cost of $685.
$4,000 and that the maximum profit
on them would be S23, ,587,134.
"Big Volume of Profit
On ugly duckling" ships-emer-
gency cargo vessels being built for
the Maritime Commission-Mr.
Barnes said the company's profit
would be two-fifths of l per cent
per ship but would represent a
big volume of profit at that"
On SO other commercial ships be-
ing built at cost of SO 1000 900 each,
he added, the company was building
six without a guaranteed profit and
30 with a guaranteed profit of S9O,-
900.
In order to carry on the ship con-
struction program, Mr.. Barnes testi-
fed, the Government put up S48,-
900 600 to $4,000, 900 for construc-
ton of new ways.

ing the selectees, National Guards
men and Reserve officers to remain
in uniform longer than the year for
which they were called. Present law
provides the. President with author
ity to take such action only when
Congress declares an emergency.
Gen. Marshall FavOrS Plan.
BY such procedure the legislators
would be relieved of the necessity
of voting on legislation to amend
the present Selective Service, Ma
tional Guard and Reserve Officer
Acts in order to require extended
service The administration Sena-
tor said that some legislators who
are for the extension but have re-
reived many complaints against it
were inclined to favor the emergency
resolution method.
Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff, told the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee yesterday
that he preferred that method be-
cause it would permit the War De-
partment to deal with the Army as
a whole. rather than with separate
categories of selectees, Reserves and
Guardsmen, each affected by diff
ferent acts.
Senators Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana and Nye, Republican, OF
North Dakota expressed opposition
to Gen. Marshall's proposal
Although terming Gen. Marshall
"a fine soldier" Senator Wheeler
added that there is no national
emergency in existence except that
coniured up in the minds of cabinet
members who want to take us to
war and in the minds of minority
groups"
Senator Wheeler also disagreed
with Gen. Marshall's contention that
the release of Selectees after
years service would tend to break
up Army organization.
Would Enlist, Says Wheeler.
"I believe that rs per cent OF thu
selectees would enlist voluntarily
for a longer period of training
Senator Wheeler declared, "particu'
larly if the Government appealed
for enlistments. Such a volunteer
system would greatly improve Army
morale"
