WASHINGTON, Feb. "A - Just why, in the midst of the greatest war the world has ever known, this World War II capital should be reading non-fiction books on the Civil War is something of a mys- tery.
 Booksellers here tell me that Lees Lieutenants,' by that mas ter historian of the Old South, Douglas Southall Freeman, is all ready bestseller, although it has been on the shelves only a few weeks. "Reveille In Washington was at the top of the list so long, it probably had something to do with the paper shortage.
 ''The Hidden Civil War and George Fort Milton's Abraham Lincoln and the Fifth Column" are climbing into bestseller company And somewhere in the midst is Capt. Cecil Fletcher Hollands "Mor- gan and His Readers"
 I think perhaps Captain Hol- lands book more typically explains this phenomenon of Washington's revived interest in the Civil War than any of them.

sHIpBuILDING WAITE

Shocking waste occurs in the conversion of ships built by the Maritime Commission and taken over by the Navy. The ships are origi- nally designed for merchant uses, but are taken over when complet- eo,, or nearly completed, for com bat use by the Navy.
 The Navy has different require ments, and demands installation of different equipment, and the discarding of equipment already installed. For instance, two Alec ships built at the Moore shipyards at Oakland, Calf, were equipped with automatic motors to work dayits for life-boat hoisting, even though the Maritime Commission knew the Navy would immediately lip them out and install life rafts' and landing boats.
 The waste comes from failure to anticipate these changes before the ship is completed on merchant de- signs. In fact, it often happens that a ship which the Maritime Commission knows is to be taken by the Navy will be completed along the original lines, then de- iivered to the Navy, only to have great quantities of equipment torn cut, new bulkheads built in, sea- mems quarters rebuilt, and so on.
 Explanation for Maritime's ac- tion is that if they allow the Navy tu come into the yard and take over the conversion, i've never get the ship out" In other words, they don't want the yard cluttered up with ship which the Navy, in it's elaborate and procrastinating manner, is trying to convert.
