Concentrated Smelling ushered
in the offensive, a renewal of
hostilities on the big French
island in the western Indian
ocean which lightened after the
British captured the big naval

The Smelling continued to-

.5hipyard Contracts
Renegotiation Urged
By Senate Unit
Maine Firm Defended,
However, on Failure
To Produce Vessels
BY the Associated Press.

A Senate committee last night
recommended that the Maritime
Commission renegotiate its contract
with the South Portland tMe) Ship
building Corp. "in the light of pres
ent circumstances" but defended
the yards failure to produce cargo
ships as fast as expected.
The construction delays, the COM
mittee said, stem in substantial
measure from the attempt to build
ships before the facilities were COM
pleted and from the difficulty in OBJ
tanning sufficient supervisors and
skilled workmen."
The committee in it's report also
called for immediate" replacement
of Frank Wall, Maritime Commits
sion representative at South Port
land, declaring he lis not a proper
or competent representative of the
Maritime Commission in the con-
struction and maintenance of a
plant in which the Government
will have an investment of more
than $4,000, ,OO0."
House Unit Urges Action.
Earlier, the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee in a report filed
with the House recommended termi-
nation of the South Portland yards
contract on grounds of "incompe-
tence. inef1iciency and obvious in
ability to perform its contract
duties"
The report defending the South
Portland yard was made by a sub
committee Of the Senate Defense
Investigating Committee, headed by
Senator Truman, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri,. The report said the original
plan to build 16 ships on four ways
at the yard had been revised to 81
ships to be constructed on six ways
before the end of 1943.
Proper facilities for fabrication
and assembly of all essential acces-
sories are still in process of develop
ment," the report said.
Special contracts were made for
architectural and engineering serv-
ices and for the construction of the
facilities and the primary RESPONSE
bility for the failure to provide ade-
quate facilities ought not to be
placed on the South Portland Ship
building Corp
Acquisition Is Cited.
With the acquisition of the Todd
Bath shipyard at South Portland by
the Maritime Commission, the COM
mittee said, there would be available
'one integrated yard with seven
basins and six ways where 13 Lib
erty ships can be under construc-
tion at one time and with the COM
pletion Of the facilities now. in
process it should be possible to turn
out ships at rate that will COM
pare favorably with the yards on the
Gulf and the West Coast"
The committee criticized as "a
travesty upon competitive bidding"
