Ship Production
Praised By Land
'At Press Club
Bv Gretchen Smith.

Topics ranging from the increas-
ing efficiency of the Nations Mer-
chant Marine schools to post
war shipping and aviation prob
lens were touched upon by Rear
Admiral Emory S. Land, chair
man of the Maritime Commission
and War Shipping Administrator
in an address before the Women's
National Press Club yesterday.
Guest speaker at the clubs week
ly luncheon at the Willard Hotel, the
admiral's talk constituted regular
verbal island hopping" Of interest
ing facts pertinent to the Merchant
Marine, couched in picturesque sea
salty terms.
Only six years ago. the speaker
declared. "seamen were like Topsy-
they just grew and no one cared
a damn"
Now, he pointed out, Merchant
Marine schools established in differ
ent parts of the country are rivalling
West Point and Annapolis with men
whose motto is keep m sailing. And
they're doing it," he added.
Expressing satisfaction with the
Nations building program with its
goal of six ships launched daily, Ad-
miral Land said the rapid increase
in production had reduced launching
ceremonies to a minimum of detail
Many merchant ships now are
named by workmen's wives whose
names are placed in hat and drawn
out informally, he explained.
Touching briefly on the subject Of
allocating American ships to other
Nations, Admiral Land said there
should be no misgiving on this sub
ject as all ships were allocated with
out transferring their titles. Don t
be alarmed" he asserted. "Alloca-
tions are being made with intelli-
gence."
The question Of ships versus
planes in postwar days was dis
cussed by the speaker who declared
that to those who believed all trans
portation would be by plane or by
helicopter his reply was "pecans. :"
Planes will be used for those who
desire speed, he commented, but
planes will never be able to trans
port oil. sulphur and other such
commodities-at least, not in our
lifetime" Planes and ships should
be complementary and supplement-
ary to each other, he declared.
Explaining why he did not wear a
uniform, Admiral Land pointed out
that a lot of his business was with
representatives from labor groups
He didn't want them to say, Il can't
talk to that gold-braided, brass hat,
'so-and-so.'
The speaker was introduced by
Elisabeth May Craig, the president.
Guests included Mrs. Land, Mrs.
Claude Wickard, wife of the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture: Palmer Hoyt
director of the domestic branch of
Owl, and Mrs. Hoyt; Sir Willmott
Lewis, Mrs. Robert Hale, wife of
Representative Hale; John Wina-
cour. director of British Information
Service; Mark ODay, head of Mari
