said the proposed project would
probably do the extensive job of

lay-up basin.
He also said it was possible that
the repair yard, if established,
might be used to renovate and re-
pair other vessels earmarked not
for storage in the basin but for
continued service in the nation S
maritime fleet.
Since the size Of the proposed
project has not yet been determined
Voss said it was impossible to esti-
mate how many men it might en-
NOV for the repair operations. He
added. however, that all employees
would be war veterans working for

Under no condition would the
ward be run by the defunct North

any other private enterprise, he
declared.
The commission now employs
