Senators Join In Cay For Ships
Washington March 20 A cry for ships and more ships came from Congress as evidence showed the accelerated war production program strained transport. Sen George Georgia urged action to streamline domestic and rail freight and warned against delays in delivering vital military supplies. Chairman Truman said the defense committee would push swift action and maritime officials would report on ship construction progress. Land warned of loitering in shipyards and steel shortages persisted. Senator Gurney noted allied offensives depend on keeping cargo vessels flowing to Australia and the southwest Pacific.
