Surplus Merchant Ships
To Lay Up At Shipyard

selection of the gigantic North
Carolina Shipbuilding company
yards here as storage depot for
surplus ships of the American mer-
chant fleet came as surprise yes
terday, for it was generally I'm
derstood that no decision concern
ing selection Of lay-up facilities
on the Atlantic coast would be
made until early in 1916.
Vice-Admiral Emory S. Land,
chairman of the Maritime commits
sion, in a telegram addressed to
Capt. Roger Williams, president OF
the shipbuilding company, said the
commission was forwarding con-
tract for preparation of a lay-up
anchorage on the Cape Fear river,
the center Of which would be the
shipyard.
A spokesman for the company
said the general plan previously
discussed with commission repre-
sentatives would mean the yard
here would be charged with pre-
pairing still-undetermined num-
Der Of merchant ships fo- storage
at points north of the yard along
the Cape Fear river. In addition,
the contract, it is expected, will
call for continued repair and main
tenance of the vessels for the
length of their storage here.
Text of Admiral Lands tele-
gram received here yesterday
was:
"You are advised commission
will tender you a contract for
preparation of site laid-up
ships in general accordance
plans previously discussed
with you.
merritt Chapman-Scott have
been requested to forward cop
les specifications for dredging
to you direct. It is desired
you proceed Immediately with
preparations of site, arranging
work SO that ships can be
moved before all Of site is pre-
pared"
Shipyard officials were reluctant
to speculate on the number Of ships
that would ultimately be laid up
here. They agreed that the num-
Der of employees who would be at
forded more or less permanent
work at the yards, under its new
status, would be predicated en-
tirely on the volume Of tonnage
stored here and the extent Of
maintenance desired by the gov
eminent.
Merit Chapman-Scott company,
one of the country's largest mari
time construction companies, will
b. employed by the Maritime
Commission to do the engineering
work, for the 1ay-up of ships.
Considerable dredging in the
neighborhood Of the yard will be
necessary in order to lay up the
ships, and the proposed work is
scheduled to begin well before
Jan. l.
It was not ascertained whether
dry-dock is included in the pro-
posed program for the Cape Fear.
Considerable speculation in ship
ping circles here has voiced the
probability that should Wilmington
be designated a lay-up point a
large drylock would be No. 1
lnecessity.

Gs Vie AoSoCiatco FIenA,
Union members who violate a
contract by. striking must be re-
stored to their jobs by the company
before the War Labor Board can
settle the underlying dispute, the
board has ruled.
A decision outlining the boards
policy was written by Public Mem
ber Nathan p. Feinsinger in the
case affecting the E. A. Labora-
tories, Brooklyn, where q walkout
of $50 members of the CIO Auto
Workers began September %.
A week later the company, in
kilograms to each employe, said
their contract had been abrogated
by the strike but that they would
be rehired on "new employment
basis"
The strike continued and the New
York Regional WLB directed the
company to restore the men to tf cir
jobs under conditions prevailing
prior to the strike. The company
countered with kilograms to lbs
selected employees, inviting them to
return to work, the board said.
Mr.. Feinsinger, In his opinion
said the settlement of question aris-
ing out of the strike before resump-
ton of work would interfere with
the boards main objective of min
imizing interference with war pro-
duction."
Experience has shown, moreover
that the board cannot give proper

Earnings Record Set
By Insured Banks
During Last Year
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

In his annual report Just pre-
sented to Congress Leo T. Crowley
chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp, states that net
profits of insured commercial banks
in 1943, after taxes, amounted te
s638 100000. the highest figure ever
reported to the corporation.
Total current operating earnings
total expenses and taxes of insured
banks were the highest on record
and the margin of net earnings also
was the highest yet recorded. FoI
the first time since 1886, and the
second since the insurance was
started, recoveries on assets and
profits from the assets exceeded
chargeoffs.
The chief increase in the income
of insured commercial banks was
from larger holdings of United
States Government securities. A
gain over the previous year from all
securities was $3.50 0,000, 900. up 40 per
cent.
Chairman Crowley also reviews a
decade of service, stating that in
surance protection has been ex-
tended to 5000 900 accounts in more
than 80 per cent of the Nation's s
banks.
The report shows that total in
come of the insurance corporation
for 1943 was S86,000,000, of which
S70,000000 was from assessments on
banks and Sl6,00000 from invest
ments and assessments on credit
unions. Losses on assets of closed
banks were much less than pre-
viously estimated.
IBA Membership Shows Gain.
The Investment Bankers Associa-
ton announces that 5 new members
were added during the last year,
compared with loss of "a during
1943 and 81 during 1912.

ington became president, the mem
bership has registered steady i'm
provement. At present the associa-
ton has 637 members. In addition,
there are 663 registered branch Of
