Schedules were being arranged
today for tour of the Ford Bomber
Plant here by virtually the entire
membership OF the Senate Truman
Committee Friday.

Ford plant at $50 a. m. and will
conduct their investigation in Sc
cret. Findings are not TO be re-
yealed until the committee returns
to Washington. The committee will
be accompanied by Sen. Homer

The inspection OF the plant was
deemed advisable after a prellm-
mary investigation by a sub.com-
mittee indicated that production
had not attained the level desired
by federal agencies.
While here the committee is plan
ming TO look into various factors
which might have a bearing on the
production lag. Among them, it is
expected, will be material deliver

are made in tooling, machines and

Iowa Soon to

Brooklyn Navy Yard, Feb. Is
UP-The super-dreadnaught Iowa,
first OF the six $4,000 ton battle
ships which the United States Navy
is rushing to completion, will soon
be engaged in action on one OF the
seven seas.
Shipyard officials announced to-
day that the five sister ships OF
the Iowa generally are we'll ahead
of construction schedules. The
Iowa was launched seven months
ahead of schedule.
The New Jersey which is beins

sea. The Missouri which is only
a stones throw from her sister
ship. the Iowa, in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard probably will be the
third.
As the worlds largest battle
ship. the Iowa will give the Ameri
can Navy terrific offensive power
1t has more anti-aircraft guns and
.heavy artillery, including batteries
of Is inch guns, than ever was as
sembled on one ship.
The Navy Department took a
group of newspapermen for an In

Yard. They saw the last-minute
touches being given to the Iowa
According to reported figures
the sea.colossus is $50 feet long
and its beam is Jos feet, which is
only inches narrower than any
lock in the Panama Canal. This
means that she can be quickly
transferred to either the Atlantic
or the Pacific.
The Iowa repeatedly has draff

more than so knots per hour She
is only 200 feet shorter than any
of the bigger commercial passeng
