Among the workers in this plant
are most of the 375 women welders

The new plant operates something
like sub-assembly plants in the au-
tomobile and aviation industry, and
feeds completed sections of ships to
assemblymen on the ways.
Three Way Speedup.
Edgar Kaiser, general manager
and son of Henry j. Kaiser. who
plans to build 500 seventy-ton flying
boats for the Government, said this
new development in production
speeds construction of ships in three
ways:
/. 1t eliminates congestion of men
and materials in hulls on the ways.
2. 1t offers overhead protection to
workmen, eliminating the weather
as factor in efficiency.
3. 1t breaks down assembly into
many specialized jobs.
The plant is divided into II bays,

Of Norway's pro-Nazi government,

None of the council members or

sharp conflict of opinion between
Josef Terboven, German Governor,

Quisling, it was understood, had
the support Of Terboven in his eff

the Norwegian church. Quisling's
appointments and other administra-
tive measures led to charges he
was trying to "Nazify the church"
and give preferment to pastors and

out that the Germans or Japs

He said he had learned that the
Takoma Park-Silver Spring sirens
sounded on the yellow, or alert.

ma Park Silver Spring lights blinked
on
Mr.. Mileham said the lights re-
manned on until 10 minutes before

Mr.. Milehams praise for Union
Stations performance in the test
was short-lived when Col. Bolles
told him that Commissioner Mason
had been at the station during the
test and had reported that the sta
ton lights were on full blaze for 7
minutes before Commissioner Mason
ordered the lights extinguished.
60 Per Cent Wardens Out.
Mr.. Mileham estimated that be-
total warden force was on the streets
for the test.
Patrollers in the downtown area
commented favorably on the speed
with which pedestrians sought shell
ter. The sirens came just as shows
let out at the National, Earle, Pal
ace and Capitol Theaters.
At the National. many in the
audience thought the siren was
sound effect of the play. The first
to leave the theater, however. got
only as far as the lobby door where
the continuing warning of the sirens
stopped them. Throughout the
blackout, the theater orchestra con-
tinued to play.
Had the warning sounded a few
minutes earlier, the crowd at the
Capitol would have been treated
to free show. The Capitol man
ager said ruefully that the audience
had gotten out into The lobby just
too soon for him to arrange a per-
formance in the theater.
Usher Hears Warm Up"
An alert usher at the Earle heard
the warm up" of the siren and
the lights there flashed out in few
seconds ahead of the alarm. The
warm up" gave few clue of what
was to follow, however, since it was
drowned in the rolling thunder.
Crowds congratulating themselves
on being safe aboard street cars be-
fore the worst of the rain had
short lived triumph. At the siren,
they had to leave the cars and dash
through the rain to shelter.
Two noticeable defects in the
downtown observance were the lack
of air raid wardens and the traffic
light left at full strength and

light down the wet streets. The lat

Hogs Remain High,
Despite Lower U. 5.
Bids for Pork
Small Pockers Complain
Marketing Agency Hos
Not Helped Them
BY the Associated Press.

h, the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. l1.--A compari-
son of market quotations today
showed that the Governments re-
duction in the price 1t pays for
lend-lease pork has not held down
live hog costs.
Hogs are selling now at approx
mately the same levels as before the
Government took it's action.
The Agricultural Marketing Ad-
ministration, Government lend
lease purchasing agency. announced
on July % it was lowering it's bids
on various pork cuts as much as 81
hundred pounds. The reductions
varied on different cuts in different
localities.
1t was generally believed the move
was designed to lower, indirectly.
the live hog cost, thus affording the
packers some relief from the squeeze
in which they found themselves.
Immediately after the ANA an
nouncement. hogs suffered a sharp
break. The top price fell to s1455
on July % and the average price
dropped below $14 for the first time
in more than a month.
But the reaction didn't last long
The top hog price Is now back to
SIS and the average price is about
$14.15. Average price has Jagged
somewhat on the recovery, because
heavy weight swine have not ad-
vanced as much as choice, light
weights.
Smaller packers have been
squeezed the hardest by rising hog
values, and they have protested the
loudest. One small packer said to-
day the AMA's action had not
helped his operations. With best
hogs at SIS and the price of dressed
pork under OPA ceilings, the situa-
ton is just the same as it was in
mid-July, he added.
Representatives of smaller pack
ing companies are scheduled to
meet in Chicago today and tomor-
row. Livestock men think it pos
sible that they will ask the Govern
ment to place ceiling on live hog
prices or raise the ceilings on whole
sale pork.

small messenger, who, before he was
told to seek shelter himself, said his
father, warden in Northeast, had
told him to help out if the test came
while he was at the movies.
While lights in the downtown sec
ton, with two prominent excep-
tions. appeared to go out faster than
in the last blackout, the two excep-
tions, with the aid of lightning, kept
F. stl eet alight. One of the excep-
tions, a lighted clock, flashed on
and off throughout the entire test,
The other lighting, which came from
a large F street store, went off after
about 10 minutes when the watch
man inside the building was aroused.
This lighting was particularly no
ticeable since it was directly op-
posite a store with mirrored front,
which reflected the light.
Some Tenants Awakened.
While early to-bed citizens in the
residential areas slept through the
test, some apartment house dwellers
weren't allowed to. In one Con-
necticut avenue apartment the
tenants, awakened by building war
dens, streamed into the halls in
pajamas and bathrobes to await
the all clear.
Detectives who failed to appear at
headquarters or their respective
precincts were called on the car
pet" today by Inspector Richard H
Mansfield, commanding the Detec-
tive Bureau.
Inspector Mansfield ordered them
to submit reports in writing. This
morning many detectives, like
schoolboys, were busy penning ex-
cuses.
The favorite excuse, a survey at
headquarters revealed, was that de-
tectives did not hear the siren.
Few" County Violators.
A few" violations were reported
in Prince Georges County, particu-
larly in business houses which left
night lights burning. Chief Air
Raid Warden E. F. Zalesak said
warnings would be given to first Of
tenders, but that others would be
taken to court.
Street lights in College Park and
University Park were turned out 10
minutes after the alarm was sound
ed Mr.. Zalesak said. Otherwise, he
added, there was practically a 100
per cent" blackout throughout the
county.
Capt. Edgar Simms of the Alex
andria Police Department termed
the blackout success in that city
except for the fact that the Alex
andria Torpedo Station blew the all
clear four minutes before the city
sirens. He said he would investi-
gate.
Leak" in Information.
No reports are available as yet as
to the number of blackout viola
tions. Police reported no accidents
and said the street lights were
turned off even before the sirens
sounded.
Chief Air Raid Warden Bernard
Padgett was not informed of the
test beforehand, but said he was
disturbed to discover that great
many people in the city knew it
was coming
He declared that he would at
tempt to find the source of the leak
because such previous information
defeats the purpose of the test"
At Franklin street and Route l
wardens stopped 81 cars approach
ing Alexandria from Fairfax County
indicating that there were no war
dens on duty on the Richmond
