Navy TO Keep
Arsenal Here

Rumors surrounding the con-
tinued operation of the Naval
Ordnance Plant In Center Line
were allayed today with the an
nouncement by Adm. G. F. Hussey
Jr., chief of the bureau of ord
nance. that the navy department
would retain the arsenal as part of
the permanent ordnance shore
establishments.
The notice was posted through
out the plant by the Westinghouse
company, operators Of the arsenal
for the navy.
In addition, the contract under
which Westinghouse operates the
arsenal will be renewed for an
other year sometime today. The
Westinghouse company took over
the Center Line plant just a year
ago from the Hudson Motor Car
Co. original contractors.
Similar potices were sent out
by Adm. Hussey to six other
Naval Ordnance plants in the
country.
The letter pointed out that
while the navy put the Center
Line arsenal in operation through
outside operators, II was the in
tention to take over the plants on
its own las soon as economically
feasible"
Whether this was 10 be during
or after the war was not made
clear. Naval officers here, how
ever, pointed out that since con-
tracts for materiel were increas-
ing instead Of decreasing, private
operation would probably be con-
tinued until the wars end.
