Navy Builds
Drydocks

SAN FRANCISCO-UP - The
Navy revealed recently that within
two and one-half years Hunters
Point has been developed from all
isolated, lonely spit of land jutting
into San Francisco Bay into a $685.
100000 ship repair base capable OF
berthing a large task force.
Hunters Point naval drydocks,
Enthusiastically an adjunct OF
Mare Island Navy Yard, can ham
die any ship OF the feet, from the
smallest patrol craft to the largest
aircraft carrier.
The yard presently has six docks
three which can take submarines
or destroyers. another a large
cruiser. another almost the largest
battleship or carrier, and finally.
an 1.100-foot craving dock which
can berth the largest ship afloat.
The Point now has nearly $50
buildings, ranging from a $1,000
fran structure TO $4,000 ma
chine shop, spread over approx
mately 400 acres OF land. Two
thirds OF the land was reclaimed
tidelands Of the city's industrial
district. which included mostly
tanneries and slaughterhouses.
The Navy took over Hunters
Point in December, 1871. from pri-
vate shipbuilding companies. It's
then limited area and inadequate
facilities afforded the Navy Depart
ment a chance to design and build
modern naval drydocks from
scratch. --.a
The Point now employees more
thar 10000 civilian workers In ad-
dltion to a smaller number OF Navy
personnel. During the coming year
between 100000 0and $4,000.
900 additional money will be spent
to bring the total working area OF
the yard TO nearly 500 acres.

That meeting OF the United Ma
lions at Breton Woods in New
Hampshire is a session OF the peace
conference. IL is as much such
session as any meeting at Yer
sailles after the last war. What
ever is agreed upon in that lovely
summer resort, will be clauses OF
the peace among nations-as much
so as any that. might eventually
be incorporated in a peace treaty
Any such document should be SUD
mitted to the Senate for ratifica-
ton in accordance with the Constr
tuition of the United States.
There may never be a formal
peace congress because confer
ences are being held all the time
among the Allied countries formul-
ating the terms OF peace. There
has already been such confer
ence concerning the Caribbean
areas. We know very little Of
what transpired there. We have
very little information as to what
arrangements have been made
concerning the air and naval bases
that the United States has estab-
lished In that region at great ex-
pense TO the American taxpayer.
Another conference has been In
session for some time dividing up
the oil reserves OF Asia. We know
absolutely nothing about that
business. II is so secret that the
American people have had no
glimpse at the sessions and yet
we have a tremendous stake In
oil because while we have been
supplying our Allies with the
most self.sacrificing generosity,
they have been conserving their
reserves in the Persian Gulf
areas. The American people have
right TO know all about these
transactions. They have a vital
stake in any agreements that are
Raced.
Another conference that has
been taking place has TO do with
international Always. This coun-
cry, as a war measure. has been
building airports in all parts OF
the world. The question arises
When the war IS over, do those
airports belong TO US or do they
become the property OF the coun-
tries In which they are situated?
Will American commercial air
planes be permitted 10 land on air

American manpower built or will

he would give about directing his
plays. There is only one thing to
remember he replied. Tell the
actors to speak up so you can hear

From my own experience, have

OF older ones-is a knowledge OF
structure. The difference between
play and a novel Is that a novel
Is like taking walk-up hill and
down, whereas a playwright must
constantly be going upstairs. Some

consists in getting your charac-

stones at them in act two, and
getting them down In act three.
