In a woven slip, several cores

It is estimated that family of

at least 70 pounds of soap year.
OF course, rainwater or other ma.

many.
The answer, then, is to use a

Along The Cape Fear

WILMINGTON sHIPYARD-The
story of five years Of North Caro-
lima shipbuilding continues to I'M
fold. The next chapter pertains to
the reason and the facts, why the
Wilmington shipyard came into
being, as related through the
record of the North Carolina ship
building company which made the
project possible and carried it
through to a successful conclusion
in the war years. And also left 1t
for its continuance in times OF
peace.
The question may be, asked
why did this $40, 49,, 1853 yard which
delivered 81 miles Of Uncle Sans
bridge of ships, come into ex-
istence. The answer is two-f o d.
There is an international answer.
There is a local one.
INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
The beginning of the North Caro-
lima Shipbuilding company may be
traced to the desperate plight OF
Great Britain in the early years
of the war when that country had
his back to the wall and before
this cocntry had taken up arms.
| That was in the late winter of 1910.
The. United States government,
led by President Roosevelt, s a W
the acute necessity Of constructing
IA large merchant fleet despite
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-06-07

strong opposition from some sour
ceS.
The purpose of that fleet was to
fulfill commitments already made
with Great Britain. That was the
first reason. The second was that
if the British Isles should fall, this
country's position would have to
be strengthened in event of war.
BRITISH PROGRAM - At that
time, there was a British program
calling for sixty 10, 000-ton recipro-
eating engine driven ships suitable
for ocean navigation. That pro-
gram was under way both in
Canada and in the United States.
When this country's Maritime
Commission was ordered to pro-
duce more tonnage, it took advan-
tsge of this program by slightly
modifying the ocean design ships
already being constructed. The
program was modified to allow
''the maximum use of American
mass production systems and abil-
ity."
The first call under the modified
system was for the construction oil
1852 of the new type vessel without
r~etarding the building program Of
the commissions already under
way. This new type vessel W
designated EC2-S-CI and was later
to become known a. the famous
Liberty ship.

FULL SURVEY NOT
ON CITY ACENDA
Says Project May
Be Future Possibility;
Morgan AT Work

No immediate survey of all mu
nicipal government departments
with an objective of reorganization
aimed toward more efficiency, is
in the offing although such a pro-
ject may be a future possibility.
That statement came from City
Manager j. r. Benson late yester-
day after it was revealed that a
survey of h e police department
was under way.
Benson indicated that a city
wide survey of all departments
has been considered but action de-
ferred, at least for the present.
This followed an announced ''re-
vamping' and consolidation of the
parks and Fairgrounds depart
ments earlier in the week.
The police survey was launched
early yesterday by Roy Morgan,
former FBI agent. Its aim is
purely to increase efficiency, weed
out worn-out methods Of operation
and if need be, procure better
trained personnel.
No Investigation
The city manager emphasized
that the survey is in no way an
investigation.
Gan investigation leads persons
to believe that there is something
wrong with a department or group
undergoing such a thing. That is
definitely not true in the case of
the police department. The idea is
simply to improve the department
where possible in the interest Of
better government"
How long the survey will take,
Benson said he vas unable to
ascertain. But Morgan, when it is
completed, will report back with
recommendations and h i S results
presented to- council members.
Morgan. an attorney, is a men,
Der of the Greensboro city council.
His survey will include an exami-
nation of police files and records
and a questioning Of officers on
methods of operations.

porters were the words mo COM

The migrant labor situation
in this S ate may become a
problem instead of an asset, a
survey indicated last night
when it was revealed that
some 100,0 600 pounds of Irish
potatoes lie graded but UNI
sold in Beaufort county.
And along with this revela-
ton, it likewise was disclosed
that some 10000 Of these
farm hands were expected in
the state this season, many
Of them to be located in this
area.
1t was also disclosed that a stu
alton similar to that in Beaufort
also existed in Pamlico and Car
teret counties, and that potato dig
ging in all three counties has al
most ceased.
Extension service officials ex-
pect the government, under an Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton regulation, to begin buying
the potatoes at parity price any
day now and to sell them to dis
tilleries or destroy them to pre-
vent the market from flooding

Freight Rate Decision

WASHINGTON, June g.. - up -
Officials of Is states asked. the
Supreme court today to reconsider
its recent z to 2 decision which
upheld an ICC order raising class
railroad freight rates 10 percent
in the North and East.
The ICC order also calls f r
reduction Of such rates by 10 per-
cent in the South and as far West
as the rockies.
Attorneys general for New York,
Delaware, Indiana, Maryland,
Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Wis
consin and Pennsylvania, and gov
errors of h e six New England
states filed separate petitions urg-
ing the high tribunal to grant a
rehearing of the case.
The petition by the attorneys
general stated that the Supreme
court ''in failing to hold that the
commissions order was invalid
for lack of essential preliminary
findings, and in attempting to sup
ply that lack by findings based
upon it's own examination of the
evidence, erred and acted in con-
flict with long established princi-
pies laid down by it's earlier de-
cisions."
The petition filed by the N e W
England governors said the high
court made a mistake by substi-
tuting findings of its own for those
made by the ice.
The commission, the governors
said, made no finding that eco
nomic differences between the
South a d other sections of the
country are caused by rate struc-
ture differences. The S m e

cluded that the absence of a nom
