These offensives were along the

A compromise, the price legis-
lation extends wartime economic
controls for one year, to June 30,
1945, but changes the present
law in several particulars.
Administration men called it
fairly satisfactory and Demo-
cratic leaders predicted Mr..
Roosevelt would sign it although
he asked for reenactment of the
existing law without major change.
But President Philip Murray of
the CLIO issued a statement say
ing the measure will control
neither prices or rents, because
it cannot be enforced"
The measure, Murray said, "sets
a green light for violators and
danger signal for workers and
every American family" by pro-
viding that violators of the law
may escape penalty by proving
that they did not do SO "wilfully.
A major new provision of the
bill requires the Office of Price
Administration to set price cell
ings on textiles to reflect full
parity return to cotton producers.

the North Carolina Shipbuilding
company has sent 126 Libertys and

''The citizens of North Carolina
should be very proud of the pro-
duction record of the North Caro-
lima Shipbuilding company. Their S
is an Achievement truly represen-
tative of the ingenuity, far-sighted-
ness and resourcefulness of most
Americans, the maritime COM
mission director said. In continu-
ing he noted that the shipbuilding
company planned well, worked
well, and their handiwork has and
is performing well. The ships they
have built have carried the neces-
sites of war to the many fighing
fronts, carried the food from our
shores to the starving thousands in
oppressed countries across the
seas"
McInnis asserted, Gas to the fu-
ture, no one at this time can pre-
dict what type of work, if any, the
commission or the Navy will allot
to this yard. But, on the other
hand, the splendid accomplish
ments, the low cost of construction
and the small number OF man
hours used in the building Of the
ships weigh heavily in favor Of
the retention of the shipyard for
participation in the postwar pro-
gram of the commission"
The Maritime commission direc-
tor quoting in part from an adj
dress made by Rear Admiral EN-
DRY S. Land at the Propeller club
in Savannah, in which he referred
to the Merchant Marine act, said,
est is, in my opinion, possible to
operate an adequate American
merchant fleet with gradually
declining outlay for differential
payments as the cargo and pas
sengers are available in fair vol
ume. If we get the business set
forth as the goal in the Merchant
Marine act, then we can have a
healthy, efficient and vigorous
merchant fleet.
''The building of ship is COM
plicated and highly technical UNI
dertaking. Many, many skins go
into its fabrication. Hundreds OF
companies in many states are
drawn upon for materials and sup
plies that must 60 into her con-
struction. Thousands of wage earn
ers in these Establishments outside
the shipyards themselves benefit
from a vessels construction. 1t APP
pears, therefore, most desirable
that we should build our own ships
in our own yards. This means
higher initial investment for Am
erican shipowners than for his for
eign competitors.
