NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-The Amer

we can and will meet the Presidents
call for 100000 deadweight tons
OF merchant ships in 1943"
Records Smashed.
Mr.. Smith, saying his statement
was approved by the Navy and Mari
time Commission, asserted that ship
builders, rising to meet the challenge
OF mass production, delivered more
than seven times the output of 194l,
when 1893 497 tons were completed,
and smashed all standards for
monthly production.
The industry built 125 merchant
men, aggregating 1,l10,000 tons, in
December. The previous record, set
in September, was SO vessels with a
deadweight tonnage of 1,009,8
The yards turned out "a cargo car

constructed in yards designed for
that purpose

The flow Of materials and equip

100 Tons
Paper Lost
in Blaze

Fire caued by spontaneous
combustion destroyed 100 tons
of baled paper valued at 81 200
in the Harry Levine & Son
warehouse, so Floral, before
firemen extinguished the flames
at 9 a. m. Sunday.
Abe Levine said the paper
stock was particularly heavy
because paper mills have not
been buying baled paper recent
ly. Only the estimated $500
damage to the building was pro-
tected by insurance.
Salvage officials pointed out
today that the need for waste
paper is as great as ever even
though the mills are temporar-
lily curtailing purchases. Waste
paper, the officials pointed out,
is always more plentiful in the
summer months and much of it
is held over to winter when
householders burn their paper.
Eugene Wallor, of 1899 Bald
win, Detroit, called the fire de-
partment at TAO a. m. after he
noticed flames while returning
from work at the Metal Products
company.

manderin-chief of American

the best they had against a foe
with more equipment as well as
more men. Still, he thought, the
scales could have been tipped
with lust little more

He said the Japanese were
