MIRACLE OF SHIPS
SEEN WINNING WAR
Continued from Uage p

gram was accomplished in every
war headline. In January, 1912,
President Roosevelt ordered the
entire program ballooned to UNI
precedented proportions, calling
for the completion in 1912 and
1943 of 1900 vessels of about 49,
100000 lightweight tons. More ap-
preparations were a sked and
granted
Admiral Land, who became War
Shipping Administrator and con-
tinued as head of the Maritime
Commission, held closely to a pol
icy Of expanding existing yards,
determined to avoid pitfalls of the
last war, when our construction
talent was spread too thin in too
many yards.
Twenty New Emergency Yards
BY the end of last January 131
new shipways had been added to
the pattern of ways, and additions
continue. In all, after the original
emergency program, only twenty
new major yards were started,
under government financing, and
most of these were off-shoots of
old-line yards.
A month later the President
again raised the quota, this time
to 23,000,000 tons, and contracts
for the entire program were
awarded by April. 1t has been ex-
banded still further to 100000
tons for the two years, of which
10000 900 was to be finished this
year and 100000 in 1913.
The clatter of materials rose in
a mighty cadence. Fifteen hundred
of the ships underway We're sturdy
Libertys; tanker losses were
mounting, and to replace them 300
tankers were on order. The re-
manider were the beautiful and
efficient ships of the c classes. In
addition 1000 smaller craft, auxil-
iaries, tugs and barges not in the
24,000,000 were started, to take up
the slack in small yards.
Over the nation every potential
builder of good ships was swept
into the gigantic movement, to
add to the heartening din of pro-
duction. On the Gulf, the Atlantic,
the Pacific, on the Great Lakes,
where the existing yards had long
been still or were moving slowly
on minor orders at less than 80
per cent capacity, were galvanized
into action. The Navy program,
the details of which are now kept
secret, mounted from two-ocean to
five-ocean scale.
By 1889 the ways had increased
to eighty-three and by the end of
1884 there were thirty-four yards,
engaging in both merchant and
naval construction. By the end of
1941 they were sixty-five yards
with 37S ways, doing merchant
craft exclusively, with an esti-
mated annual capacity of 100000
tons. Now, a year later, there are
about seventy yards with more
than 400 ways, private yards ex-
elusive of Navy yards and private
yards that build nothing but war
craft.
An official report in September
said there were 1,O24,OOO workers
in the private shipyards of the
nation doing both commercial and
naval building. These men received
at least 40 per cent of the cost
of the nations shipbuilding.
But more tn an 100000 are
lending their brains and hands to
the new Bridge of Ships" In the
background, across the vastness of
America, more than 800 factories
employing 100000 workers are
turning out orders, parts, supplies.
And beyond them other factories

U. 5. Invites Congress
10 Hire Own Lawyer
In Custer Of Trio

Congress. which found DR.. Robert
Morss Lovett, william E. Dodd, jr.,
and Goodwin B. Watson unfit" to
hold Office and voted them off the
payroll as Of November Is, will be
invited to name its own lawyer to
defend its case, it was learned today.
DR.. Lovett. Mr. Dodd and Mr..
Watson filed suit against the Gov
ernment Friday for back pay, charg-
ing that the congressional action
violated the Constitution in three
respects.
A copy of their bill of complaint
was served on Attorney General
Biddle, whose office will represent
the Government in the case before
the United States Court of Claims.
Earlier Case Cited.
Mr. Biddle recalled today that in
an earlier case of similar nature in
volving conflict between the exec
utive and legislative branches Con-
gress was represented by its own
attorney, owing to the fact the JUS
tice Department is an arm of the
executive branch of the Govern
ment This was the case of Myers
VS.. United States, and at that time
the Senate and House named George
Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia to
represent them.
In the present case the Justice
Department already has raised
grave doubts" as to the constitu-
tionality of the congressional action
in memorandum to the President
After receipt of the memorandum,
Mr.. Roosevelt, who had asked Mr.
Biddles views on the Dodd, Lovett.
Watson legislation, criticized Con-
gress for its action and branded
the rider striking them off the pay
roll as unconstitutional.
Biddle Indicates Concern.
Mr.. Biddle indicated today that
he regarded the legislative versus
judicial angle of the Dodd, Watson.
Lovett case as matter of particu-
lar concern He asserted that in
this case the legislative branch of
the Government apparently had
set out to exercise the functions of
a court, but at the same time had
not abided by rules of judicial pro-
cedure.
This, he said. appeared to be an
encroachment by the legislature
on the functions of the judiciary
In their petition. Mr. Dodd, Mi
Watson and DR.. Lovett charged
that Congress had encroached on
the executive function as we'll En-
ployment policies in the Federal
Communications Commission and
the Interior Department where they
we're employed were matters for
presidential determination, they

MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

I like the optimistic bidding on today's hand-it is in the spirit of the day. It came up in rubber brige game, and Jack Kushner of Springfield, Mass, held the South cards. The rubber had been going
 badly for him, and just before these cards were dealt, he said to his partner, "Well have to step out and bid a slam to get even." Well, his partner certainly obliged him.
 The two-heart bid prevented the heart opening which would have defeated the contract, but I think Kushner is to be complimented on the way he played the hand. The opening club lead was won in dum- my with the ace and a club was ruffed A trump was led to dummy and another club ruffed. Another round of spades picked Il the oppo- nents' trumps, and three rounds of diamonds were taken, the last won in dummy with the king. Now North and South had been stripped of clubs and diamonds.
 At this point the nine of hearts was led from dummy and, when

 So she has a place in the world. She has enough to keep her busy, and enough to think about. She isn't a restless, rebellious adolescent who is pretty sure to get into some kind of trouble out of boredom.
 It seems that in wartime 1t is es- pecially important for girls and boys who are old enough to be of some use in the world to be guided into work by their parents.
 Not only are they needed in near ly every neighborhood-but in being needed they realize they are worth something and are old enough to take an adult part in life. If that doesn't keep them out of trouble, there probably is nothing that will.

Parents Often Responsible For Child's Refusal To Eat

cy, family attitaudes toward food, and the preoccupation of parents with other interests at mealtime, Worry, anxiety, hastily prepared and eaten meals, and food "fads" on the part of the parents inevitably are reflected in the child.
 Lack of sufficient rest, too much excitement of play before nealtime, uuarrels and criticism Gas Q rule, from relatives) naturally make meals repugnant to children. Par ents, too, are told much about the importance of correct nutrition, and tend to overemphasize 1t before the children, on the basis of comparing their child's appetite with a neigh bors, regardless of the weight rec ord of their own child, which may be normal in every respect.
 Particularly do children find re- fusal to eat an effective protest if things do not please them. Jealousy, desire for attention, or other forms of emotional insecurity frequently are back of sudden loss of appetite. CURE FOR PARENTS
 The cure of psychic loss of appe- tite on the part of children usually lies in a re-education of their par ents. Parents are quick to resent any criticism of their way of hand- ling their children's problems, but If they will honestly and sympatheti- cally examine the situation them- selves, they almost always find the cause.
 They should take care to be calm and cheerful and neat at table, to ignore the attention getting devices of their children, and refrain from commenting on their eating habits. They should see that the children get plenty of sleep, fresh air and ex- ercise. and that emotional upsets do not occur before mealtime. They should eliminate eating between meals, and serve up meals attrac- lively.
 Most parents tend to spoil their disciplinary routine by fear that their child will starve to death. The chances are excellent that he will not. He just wants an opportunity to be really hungry three times a day. Here again, "tonics" should be secondary to good sense, discipline, and a truly adeQuate diet.

 gry at regular intervals, and eat. Furthermore, they tend to eat an adequate diet, without nutritional deficiencies or gastro- intestinal dis turbances. From time to time, how ever, children have a way of losing appetite and refusing food.
 ORGANIC UPSETS
 There are actual functional and organic reasons why children do not eat, and these should be checked first. The acute infectious diseases of childhood produce sharp de- crease in appetite, though a tenn porary one. Chronic disorders like tonsilitis, adenoiditis. otitis media, sinIsitis, tuberculosis and syphls also cut down on the appette, as do dental carries and stomatitiS. With the proper treatment of these dis turbances, normal appetite returns. These, however, are not nearly as frequent causes of lack of appetite as are the pshychic disturbances that beset most children today.
 Psychic causes of loss of appetite are so numerous as to be impossi- ble of listing in full. One may cite, to prove the point, such things as faulty training in proper habits of eating, like too great reliance on large quantities of milk after infan-

Washington, Sept. 2.-As the promised seasonal abundance of beef begins coming in, the question of decreasing meat point values in the September quota arises.
 The War Food Administration cautiously warns that the abun- dance is as yet just potential. The Oflce of Price Administration agrees that the much-talked of abundance will not come until later.
 However, the peak season Is ap- preaching, with the added impetus of the cattle that were held back last season for price reasons. The Office of Defense Transportation has taken special notice of 1t with a new program for meat transporta- ton. It is well known that refriger- ated storage space is over-taxed. It may be that the next chart on meat point values will show some de- creases, with more to came later. OIL UP
 Gasoline, kerosene, range oil distillate fuel, diesel and tractor fuel will cost you bit more if you live in one of the II middle western states in which OPA has made a shortcut price adjustment. Certain dealers had been discrim- mated against by the previous price system. In order to straighten it out and avoid a long, -winded investiga- tion followed by an overall price increase, OPA made these local ad- justments.
