WASHINGTON, Nov. "a R -
National Housing agency officials
predicted Sunday night that Wilson
Wyatt, housing expediter, would re.
sign unless President Truman re.
affirms shortly his emergency
powers to press the veterans hous-
ing program.
The test of strength between
Wyatt and other agencies which
have paid small heed to his di-
receives, Wyatt's aides said private
ly, appears to be near the show
down stage.
Currently at issue, 1t was stated,
is proposal of the Civilian Pro,
duction administration to lift the
ALLEGATION controls from steel pro-
ducts for the duration Of the coal
strike, as was done during the
59-day miners walkout last spring.

Southport Fishermen
Intensity Operation
Seafood Production In
creasing With Flotilla
Additions

SOUTHPORT, Feb. q - Some
times getting as much as 200
pounds of headed shrimps per day,
for which they receive $500 per hun
bred, Southport owners of large
shrimp trawlers make good money
every day when weather conditions
permit these large boats to 60 out.
With many of these larger boats
being former Navy and Coast
Guard patrol craft, able to go and
stay in almost anything short of a
real storm, it is seldom that the
fishermen fail to get in at least
three, or four days of profitable
work each week. Fish that they
take in addition to the shrimp add
up the profits. Sandy Simmons,
with only one of his sons for crew,
reported this last week that he was
out only for parts of four days.
During that time his S h ri m p
brought 5000.
Not Top Boat
The Simmons boat, according to
water front gossip, was far from
being the top boat in production
for the week. The skipper of one
boat stated to a newspaper man
that his individual earnings during
two days ran to $3.50.
In addition to the numerous
small boats, with which practically
all of the local shrimping was done
during pre-war seasons, Southport
fishermen now own about 40 real
sea-going craft, powered with diesel
engines. The number of such boats
increases rapidly and last fall and
early winter they proved that they
could take it and produce. With on
ly the normal number of boats
working the production ran to three
times that of previous seasons.
Year-Round Fishing
During pre-war seasons the small
boats usually called it the end of
the season with the coming of
Christmas, or r hit thereafter.
They still do. The bis boats that
are taking their place are demon
strating tn the commercial
shrimping industry can be carried
on for twelve months of the year.
Indicative of the improvement in
local seafood production, brought
about by the use of larger and bet
ter powered boats, Lewis j. Hardee
recently brought fleet of four big
traWlers back from Morgan City,
La. They are all IS footers, of iden-
teal construction and powered by
the best il diesel engines. These
four big boats were all Quilt and
commissioned last August. They
promise to be telling factors in sea-
food production here this year.

Coast Marine air station and mark
ing step in the conversion of the
air base to permanent status is
the completion of the addition to
the $1,800,0 900 power generating
system here set in operation last
Friday when Brig. Gen. Thomas
J. Cushman, commanding officer
of the station, opened the throttle
of the new steam turbo -alterna-

AS the general turned the valve,
steam began to pour through the
unit at velocity in excess OF
800 miles per hour, temperature
of $50 degrees and pressure OF
$50 pounds per square inch, to
start the turbine rolling and double
the output capacity of the plant.
The new addition has been I'M
