EIGHT VESSELS
 ARE CHRISTENED
TOdd-Bath Shipbuilding Yards in Portland, to
 Lay More Reels

Portland, Me, Aug. 17.-(UP)- Workers in the Todd Bath Iron Shipbuilding Corp. Yard prepared today to lay keels for five more freighters after hearing chairman Emory s. Land of the U. s. Mari time Commission tell them that the nations shipbuilding yards had far exceeded President Roosevelt's pro- duction goal.
 Five 10-thousand ton cargo car riers, built for the British purchas- ing commission, were floated from their huge construction basins yes- terday at the yard as Maine broke all previous production marks by christening total of eight vessels including two destroyers. Two of the freighters--t the Ocean Seaman and Ocean Gallant--Were built in the record time of 48 days.
 Rear Admiral Land said he and his commission were convinced that there lis almost no limit to your productivity" He added that ship yards throughout the country now are surpassing output needed to meet the presidents goal of 18,000,- 900 tons of ships by the end of 1943
 "The shipbuilders of the United States are setting the pace today in war production" he said. Each month production records which have been deemed almost impossible in the past are being broken. The way in which you are doing your job inspires confidence in the hearts of every American and strikes shat tering blows on the morale of the Axis aggressors."
 Scarcely two hours after the five launchings, the 10,500-ton Liberty ship, Ethan Allen, slid down the ways at the South Portland ship building Corp. Yard, Later, the two destroyers were christened at the Bath Iron Works Corp. Yard at Bath. The warships were named for two Maine Civil War heroes Will liam Conway of Camden and Joseph Cony of Eastport.
