Krebs avenue and a depth south
TO the Louisville and Nashville
roalroad property. The actual
building is 1876 by $50 feet A

the old Merchants Grocery Com

The new building will be suffi-
ciently large to house the whole

erection of the building which is
being financed through a new
plan of the Pascagoula- Moss Point

Postwar Program Al ingalls, Shipyard
May Hold Employment Level AT 5000

Foreseeing a future in which
the ingalls, Shipyard might fea-
sibly build Diesel locomotives as
we'll as ships and thus maintain
the employment level at about
5000 workers, Robert II. Macy,
ingalls, chief planning engineer,
addressed the Pascagoula Rotary
Club Wednesday.
The future of the shipyard
and the community are closely
interviewer and there need be
no postwar tragedy as reflected
in sharp curtailment of employ
ment and industry, he said.
I'VE have considered num-
Der Of suggestions as to what the
yard could build as a supple
ment to the shipbuilding program
after the war and the Diesel
electric locomotives seems the
most promising" he said. 'The
railroads have worn out much
equipment through the heavy
service seen during these war
years and much replacement will
be needed. There are only four
other builders of these locomo-
tives and our facilities are such
that we could produce SO loco

Not that the production of
these locomotives would inter
fere with the shipbuilding pro-
gram which is already assured
extending into 1946. he fastened
to declare.
While we don't expect to
maintain our present level of
employment" he said, there will
be enough work here for all our
good men through 1945 and we
already have work scheduled in
to 1946."
Mr.. Macy explained that there
will unquestionably be reduc-
tion in the volume of shipbuild-
ing In the future with drop in
production from the 20,000,000
tons b. year Of aeA2 and 1874 to,
ten or IL million tons in 1945.
and possibly to five million tons
in 1916. He declared a million
tons will probably be the figure
production will level off to in
normal postwar times.
Thus you see we are in a
good spot The outlook is good |

Our yard is no overnight yard
either" he said. I'VE laid our
first keel five years and two
years and two months ago and
we have delivered an increasing
number of ships each year in the
face of disrupting conversion or

program. We still have a small

Mr.. Macy described man

ACTION WINS RARE
PROMOTION FOR PASCAGOULAN

Standing off Germans armed
with a flame thrower and hand
grenades while entrenched with
a handful of companions in a
cave certainly wouldn't take any
popularity honors as a way to
win a promotion but that is how
the bar of second lieutenant in
the U. S. Army came to adorn
the collar of Simonette Lachaus-
see of Pascagoula.
1t was during the bloody and
hard fought battle that led to
the capture Of Livergano on the
road to Bologna, Italy, that La
chausse earned his battlefield
promotion. rare recognition of
bravery.
At the height OF the battle, Sgt
Lachaussee and a small group of
companions were cut off from
their command and they took
refuge in small cave. Ger
mans surrounded them but de-
spite a grenade tossed into the
cave ana an attack with a small
flame thrower, the Americans,
armed with a machine gun, held
their own so effectively that the
enemy withdrew. Although the
American gunner lost his life,
the rest of the group escaped and
later reioined the invaders.
1t. LachauSsee is the son of
Mrs. St Julien Lachaussee and
the brother of Jules Lachaussee,
Pascagoula merchant Prior to
going overseas in 1913, he visit
ed members of his family here.
He has been in the Army for six
years. He was wounded during
the early part of the Italian
campaign but had recovered suf-
fieiently to 60 back in action. AL
though Mrs. Lachaussee received
a letter from her son a few days
ago, it had evidently been writ
ten before the action which won
for him his new rank.

Three Dogs. Calf
Die After Poison Is
Thrown In Yords

Three dogs, all pets of small
children, and calf, were killed
early Wednesday morning when
an unidentified person or per-
sons evidently threw feed bear
ing strychnine into the yards of
the animals owners, according to
a complaint lodged with Pasca-
goula police. The poisoning took
place in yards at the corner of
Cedar street and Lake avenue.
The bodies of the dead animals
were discovered about 8 am.
Wednesday, evidently a short
time after their deaths. No trace
could be found of what type of
food had been used to disguise
the poison but it is believed that
bread or bread and meat had
been utilized.
