Higgins Almost Lost Engineer
Testing Guns Near President
Shipbui|der Says Roosevelt Visit Popped
Morale, War Bonds and Production

Andrew Higgins, New Orleans
shipbuilder, yesterday told of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's visit to the Higgins
shipyards on his recent secret tour
of war plants and how that visit
nearly cost the plant one of its key
engineers.
In an interview here, Mr.. Higgins
defended the secrecy that surround
ed the Presidents tour as certainly
justified" The secrecy, he added, was
so complete that no one at his plant,
including himself, knew the Presi-
dent was to be a visitor until Mr..
Higgins was asked personally to
supervise the admittance of Secret
Service men through the workers
gate.
The agents were placed through
out the plant as laborers. Until
then, he said, it was known only that
high Government officials were COM
ing.
I'VE almost lost one of our key
engineers because of the alertness
of some Army sharpshooters that
were placed at vantage points

throughout the yards" Mr.. Higgins
said.
letting Machine Guns.
This particular man was testing
the mechanism of two .5O-caliber
machine guns mounted in the gun
turret Of ship, which the Presi-
dents party was to pass. Although
the ammunition had been removed,
from distance it looked like the
engineer could be firing the guns.
"A sharpshooter about so yards
away spotted the man manipulating
the gun," he continued, "and when
the presidential party neared the
gun, and the engineer swung around
with his two empty machine guns,
the shorpshooter drew a bead and
remarked to his soldier companion:
If he lowers those guns another
inches I'll blast him out of that
turret."
Fortunately, the worker stopped
his testing to gaze at the Presi-
dent.
When asked if Mr.. Roosevelt's
visit aided the morale of his work.
ers, Mr.. Higgins gave an emphatic
yes and quoted some figures.
Spurs Production.
During the next six Gays fol-
lowing the Presidents visit, en-
ployes' Wor bond purchases rose to
2O per cent of their income" the
shipbuilder declared. "And, in spite
OF the time lost on the job during
the inspection, the production for
That particular shift was 81 per
cent over normal.
IL was curious to observe the facial
reactions of the surprised workers
when they saw the President looking
over their shoulders, he said. Their
first appearance was one of paralv-
ton"
Mr.. Roosevelt was particularly in
terested in the Higgins substitute

substitute, sample of which Mr..
higgins exhibited, is a knitted fab
rlc OF wood bound with plastic that,
according to Mr.. Higgins, can be
MADE IN homes. barns or factories
and by old men and women and
even the blind"
1T Is flexible and light" he de-
clared. There may be some per-
sons who are skeptical of the rlanv
uses we claim of this material. but I
can assure you that Mr.. Roosevelt is
not one of those persons"
Training School Junked.
The President was particularly
distressed, Mr.. Higgins declared
when he heard that one of the first
acts OF the Maritime Commission
after the cancellation of the Liberty
snip contracts a few months ago. was
to wreck the industrial school where
the Higgins firm was training $500
men.
Mr. Roosevelt was pleased, he
said, that the company was training
1850 Negroes in welding and car
pentry. He also expressed his ap-
proval of the women Welders VINO
were hard at work during his visit.
Ihe Chief Executive was enter
tanned at the conclusion of his tour
OF the yards by the Higgins Band,
and the President. Mr.. Higgins said,
even joined in the chorus of the
Victory Song, medley of Amer
ican tunes.
The President remarked that he
had never seen such colorful, odoiy
attired band before, Mr.. Higgins
said. They were dressed in welders
helmets, carpenters aprons, and
painting coveralls, besioes the me-
chanics with their greasy faces and
hands. But, he added, the music
was perfect.
MIR. Roosevelt, collector of model
snlps, received another from Mr..
Higgins, 21-foot working model of
a Liberty ship.

Two Defense Deputies
Named 10 Assist Slain
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. Oct. 15.-The Council
OF Peoples Commissars announced
today the appointment of two deputy
commlssars of defense to assist
Premier Joseph Stain.
The new appointees are Col. Gen.
A. Vassilevsky and A. Shcherbakov,
chief of the main political admins
tratlon OF the Red Army.
The appointments apparently were
a further step in the reorganization
OF the Red Army following the
abolishing of the pest of political
commissars in the Soviet armed
forces and their dual military au-
thority with commanders.
When this change was announced
last week it was said some political
commissars would be made officers
as they had gained much military
experience.
Apparently this recognition of the
part played by some of these COM
missars is to extend to top ranks.
Alexander Shcherbakov has been
chief of the Soviet Information
Bureau.
