Senator Jones Criticizes Policy Shaping Postwar Shipyards
In a Washington Senate session Senator Jones of Washington denounced the administration for blocking American shipyards from building steel ships for foreign account. He called the policy unjust and nearly criminal, saying it idles American capital and costs thousands of jobs while favouring foreign contracts. He urged the president to permit American yards to contract for steel ships to aid peace and protect national interests.

Washington Jan 22 Disaster risks following the U S merchant marine program were outlined by Shipping Board members during an open conference here.

Potential cancellation of unlaid contracts and disposition of ships already built were debated amid concerns the industry may face renewed strain in postwar world markets.
