SHIPYARDS STORY
Senator Hoey Says Talk
With President On Will
.mington Base Is Must

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-(P-
cit looks" Senator Hoey O-NC)
said today. like We'll have to talk
with President Truman about the
Wilmington shipyards."
The Senator told a reporter he
didn't believe the Maritime COM
mission is going to do anything
more about the North Carolina Port
authority wanting to take over the
shipyard which the commission
used during the war.
North Carolina Congressman plan
to meet in Hoey's office Jan. %
with Gov. R. Gregg Cherry to dis
cuss the situation. Also coming for
the conference will be r. B. Page,
Wilmington publisher and chair
man of the port authority, and
former Gov. J. Melville Broughton,
authority counsel.
The commission turned down the
authority's proposal to buy the
yards for 81, 200, 900 as we'll as a
previous offer to acquire them at
no cost except the promise to build
drydocks.
The yards are classified by the
commission as in a standby posi-
ton" for it's use. Port authority
officials and North Carolina Con-
gressmen have insisted state use
of the yards would be less costly
to the federal government and keep
the yards in better condition for
national defense.
