Singapore Gets Floating Dock for Naval Repairs
SINGAPORE The largest battleship afloat can now be docked and repaired in Singapore. The new graving dock, over 358000 tons capacity, is 130 feet wide and 100 feet long, ending Britain’s lack of East vessels docking facilities and reducing long voyages to Malta for repairs. Years of planning produced a gleaming dock near the empire stronghold, replacing a mangrove swamp with concrete floors and world of workmen and engineers. PRIEST HOST AFTER DEATH. MONROE The Rev James Downey of St. Marys Church Anchorville who was found dead in his rectory was host six days later to 10 fellow priests at a funeral dinner. A note directed the meal be paid from his estate.
