Long Beach delegates led by Sen Downey and Rep Doyle pressed for keeping the naval shipyard open. They argued that closing the yard would worsen costs and devastate 5,800 workers and 11.60 dependents, totaling a $52 million annual regional loss, with Navy officials cited as downplaying subsidence. President Truman was asked to review the Long Beach delegation’s findings and report back to him.
