He stressed no specific allocation had been made and the Navy cannot replace or acquire new auxiliaries. Admiral Robinson said the measure was prepared independently of the lend-lease bill.

Strikes Disrupt Defense Work Across U S Yet Some Settlements Reported
Settlement of a strike that shut down a 5 million dollar Navy shipyard project was announced today but four Army projects and 21 industrial plants on defense orders remained closed. AFL shopmen at Orange Texas reached a satisfactory agreement with Consolidated Steel Corp with 245 workers returning to work. Governor Van Wagoner helped avert an AFL electrical workers strike in Michigan after an 18 hour session. Wisconsin Governor Heil was asked to confer on a 44 day United Auto Workers strike at Allis-Chalmers Milwaukee plant. John R. Steelman said much work remains to settle four CIO strikes against International Harvester amid defense orders worth 10 million dollars.
