that figure until today a Liberty

Of the difficulties mentioned
above, it is just short of incredi-
BILE And yet the basic reason is
simple: all these bottlcnecks and
stumbling blocks couldn't slow

This efficiency has changed
shipyards from factories of lab
orous piece-by piece production

simple, standardized Liberty

The biggest parade I'M ship
building history began two years
ago when the first Liberty ship,
chriStened the Patrick Henry,
slid down the ways of a Balti-
more shipyard Since Sept. 27,
194l. the Z. s. Maritime Com
mission has received from AM
erican yards more than 2100
merchant vessels, totaling over
20 million lightweight tons.
That's better than twice the
tonnage of our entire Merchant
Marine on the day the Patrick
Henry was launched.
This feat of mass ship con-
Struction beats anything that the
world has ever seen or dreamed
of. And it was performed in
the face Of difficulties that at
times seemed bigger than the
job itself, and which received a
lot more attention.
American Shipbuilders had TO
battle enemy submarines which.
until late last year, were sinking
ships faster than they could be
built They also had to battle
such things as tremendous man
power shortage, high labor turn
over, labor boarding and inef-
ficient use Of manpoWer, bad
housing bad health, inadequate
transportation and a lot Of other
toubIes that added up 20 the big
touble known as abSentceiSm.
AT the moment the U-boats
are the lesser menace Gov
eminent, industry and labor are
still fighting the other battles.
And they're making progress.

confident that the War Man

troll of West Coast labor Will
work a marked Improvement.

On Liquor Shortage

Announcement by the State De-
partment that Cuban sugar dele
cation has arrived here and that
problems of mutual interest will be
thoroughly explored" caused specu-
lation today that measures may be
taken to alleviate the liquor short
age.
The State Department said it ex-
pected that consideration will be
given to the acquisition by the
United States of molasses and al
cohol.
Domestic distillers have indicated
belief they may be allowed to SHIFT
briefly to whisky production if Cuba
can be persuaded to earmark her
molasses for industrial alcohol to
meet part of the United States war
needs.
Negotiations for sale of black
strap molasses or industrial alco-
hol to the United States were broken
OH some months ago when the
Cubans said they could get bet
ter prces by shipping potable liquor
to this country.
The delegation. headed by Amadeo

presidency, will confer with a

Complete Tax Bill Available,
But Just Try to Figure 1t Out!

The text Is a disappointing let
down to a promising table of con-
tents. For example, Section l08,
billed as partially worthless debts, -
throws no light on what to do about
that fin Uncle Horace borrowed to
bet on Landon. Section BOT, on the
pistol tax, merely instructs the COL
lectors to lay that levy down if the
gat was purchased for the use of a
State, territory or political sub
division thereof.
However, if you mine vermiculite
lepidolite. spodumene or sagger clay
1T Will pay you to read section 1T,
which lays down the rules for COM
putting percentage depletion on those
minerals. can interesting sidelight
on vermiculite is that when heated
it frequently assumes a wormlike
form. Anyway it draws a Is per cent
depletion allowance
The bill devotes quite q bit of
space to drawback on distilled
spirits" which turns out to be a
refund of part of the SO a gallon al
cohol tax when the spirits are used
for nonbeverage purposes, such as
compounding medicine.
That's the only kind of a draw
back the tax bill admits to.
