IS MiIIion-Ton Boost
In Steel Capacity
Studied by 0.P. N.
Construction of rs Ore
Boots for Great Lakes
Also Considered
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The ONCE of Production Man
agement was said by officials to-
day to be considering increasing
the proposed 10000, ,000-ton annual
steel capacity program to $4,000, 900
tons.
Also under consideration. it was
said, is a program for building Is
new Great Lakes ore boats to trans
port ore from the Minnesota iron
range to the blast furnaces of the
lower Great Lakes Cities.
Steel was placed under full Gov
ernment priority control Saturday
under an order issued by E. r. Stet-
tinius, jr., defense priorities director.
This order, requiring that defense
needs be placed "uncompromising-
ly" ahead of civilian demands was
regarded as preliminary step to-
ward rationing of the metal with
consequent reduction in the output
of automobiles, refrigerators, wash
ing machines and other durable con-
sumer goods.
Mr.. Stettinius worked today on
regulations covering priorities for
steel alloys. also placed under full
priority control. This order in
creased the likelihood that some
items such as kitchenware, hard
ware, cutlery and cans would be
less easily obtainable.
The ore vessels under considera-
ton are 1900 -tonners, as compared
with the l2,000-ton vessels which
recently have gone into the ore and
coal carrying trade. They also
would be considerably faster than
ships now in use.
Present steel-producing facilities
are estimated at about 10000 900
tons a year, but officials said evil
dence of increasing steel shortages
indicated that the 10000 0O0-ton
enlargement in Bessemer and open
hearth facilities might be insuffi-
cient.

nothing of pedaling 20 miles through
the heat of the day to enforce the

That is how Capt. w. A. Winston,

bathing costumes.
Scores of Portuguese bathers along

monses yesterday at Magoito Beach,
whose 20-mile distance from Lisbon
and primitive setting they had
counted on to protect them on such
violations as skirtless or topless suits.
Every one was happily sunbathing

parked their bikes in the sand and
started passing out summonses.

Cudahy Urges US. Bid
For Peace Based on
New World Order
Former Envoy Declares
Nations Armed Might
Can Curb Hitler
BY the Associated Press.

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 11-John
Cudahy, former Ambassador to Bel
gium, last night broadcast a plea
that the strength and prestige of
the United States be used in the
cause of peace.
Let the President, with the ap-
proval of Congress, propose an
American program of peace, a peace
with a new world order based on an
association of nations, the inaugu-
ration of a sovereign international
government with power to inforce
its DEGREES for the solution of the
economic, social and political ten
Sions at the bottom of this and all
the endless wars in Europe" Mr..
Cudahy said in an address over the
N. B. C. Red network.
Back of this new world govern
ment, let us place the sanction of
all the moral prestige and force
of America.
Peace by Force Urged.
"You tell me that the word of
Hitler is worthless and that such
an effort would be futile and Of no
avail, but we will speak a language
to inforce this peace, a language
Hitler can understand, the language
of force.
I'VE are forging in the foundries
and, factories of this country a vast
armament. We have the greatest
navy in the world, soon We will have
the greatest air armada.
Let us mobilize in the interests
Of peace. In the self interest of
America let us give sanction to our
word. 1t Is a duty dictated by COM
mon sense and the tragic experience
of this war and the other war. Only
in self-deception and wishful think
ing can we believe that we can live
in America on fancied Atlantic
isolated from the revolutionary
movement which is sweeping the
world. We must play our part. We
must accept our responsibility with
the knowledge that the duty we as
sumo is the only hope for peace,
permanent peace.
No Time to Lose.
This is not a program of war, it
is program of peace. But there is
no time to lose. Soon it will be too
late. With hurrying pace the
tragedy of Europe moves to climax
and before another winter Germany
will try with supreme effort for the
knockout blow. Whether the Rus
sian campaign ends in stalemate
or German victory, the time will
soon come for a sober stock-taking.
IF we let this opportunity for
peace 60 by, it will never come again.
If we enter the war without making
this effort, the American people will
be more confused and disunited than
they are today"

Early next morning the Dresden
was edging close in along the Span

France. He had brought the Dres-
den through untold perils, had run

safe in German n-controlled waters.

Warren Blocks Knox
Plan 10 Pay Bonuses
To Shipyard Workers
Controller General
Denies Authority for
Any Such Payments
By ]. A. FOX.

A Navy Department proposal to
pay bonuses to ship workers build
ing naval vessels in order to speed
construction was blocked in a de-
cision made public today by Con-
troller General Lindsay c. Warren,
who told Secretary Knox that naval
appropriations did not contemplate
such expenditures and that specific
legislation would be necessary to
put the plan into operation.
The Department already had
named board headed by Rear Ad-
miral George H. Rock, retired, to
administer the plan, which the Navy
Secretary told Mr. Warren had been
drafted by a group of qualified
naval and civilian experts" who had
made a study of the matter at his
request.
The amount of the bonuses would
be determined in each instance by
the Secretary.
Described as "a plan to reward
outstanding accomplishment and to
stimulate the competitive spirit
among shipyards and ship workers
engaged in building naval vessels in
their efforts to advance national de-
fense." the project was to be made
effective by modifying existing con-
tracts. Naval contractors would
compete against each other for the
awards and the Board of Awards
was to determine the comparative
efficiency of the individual plants
"and make appropriate recon-
mendations of awards to the Secre-
tary of the Navy"
The cash bonuses would go only
to the workmen and the contractors
would be specifically prohibited from
benefiting by the arrangement.
Controller General Warren said he
could find nothing in the Naval APP
preparations Act which expressly
or by necessary implication author
ICES the awarding of bonuses to such
employees for meritorious services"
He added that "if it be considered
necessary and in the interests of
national defense to adopt such a
plan as that proposed, then the
matter would appear properly for
the consideration of the Congress in
order that funds be made available
therefor"

GOODRICH PLANT IS
 AIDING UNCLE SAM
De-icing Device Asset to Airplanes; Business Is
 Excellent Says Flynn

Bright business prospects for the rubber industry in 1941 were re- ported today by J. M. Flynn, man. ager of Goodrich Silvertown Stores, located at 229 West Main street, following his return from a special regional conference of executives of the B. F. Goodrich Company in New York City.
 The conference, called to review business prospects, product develop ment and the role of the rubber industry in the national defense ef- fort, was attended by key execu- tives of the rubber manufacturing concern.
 Principal speaker at the confer ence was John L. Collyer, president, who declared that Americas abil- ity to obtain self-sufdciency in the vital naterial-rubber-iS depend ent upon the speed with which the United States creates productive ca- pacity for the new synthetic ma terialS."
 It was reported at the conference, according to MT. Flynn, that the rubber industry already is feeling the effects of our national defense program. During the past six months direct government orders totaling millions of dollars were placed in the industry, with the Goodrich company alone receiving more than $10,000 ,000 worth.
 More such orders are to come," MT. Flynn added, "but although the industry has ample productive ca pacity in most instances to keep abreast of these defense require ments, the question of unfailing supplies of rubber must be faced"
 America is dependent on the Far East for fully 97 per cent of its crude rubber requirements, the con- ference discussions showed, but the Goodrich executives are convinced that America can prepare itself for any emergency affecting it's supply of natural rubber through the de- velopment of synthetic rubber ca- pacity, MT. Flynn said.
 In the field of national defense, Goodrich is filling orders for De- 4SAAS CAuApAAACAlI AOI dA p4dI1CS, TuD- Der tracks for military tanks and scout cars, self-sealing fuel tanks for combat planes, pneumatic tires of all kinds, as well as multitude of mechanical goods items such as vibro-insulators, gas mask parts, belting and hose, destined not only for military use but also to other industrial plants engaged in filling defense contracts, according to MT. Flynn.
 Apart from the national defense effort, Goodrich's executives are op- timiStic about domestic business prospects" MT. Flynn said, land they expect some increase in total tire sales principally in the replace ment markets"
 The conference was attended by several hundred members of the Goodrich organization drawn from its district staffs throughout this area, MT. Flynn said.
